1. What’s your first memory of racing?

My first memory of racing would probably be when I did my first F4 test. As others in this sport I didn’t start out with karting, I went straight to driving Formula 4 in 2023 at a test in Houston, Texas.

Being able to drive was the best feeling ever, truly I can imagine doing anything else. On the first test I realized that this sport is amazing. I remember first showing up to the track and thinking that I would do more learning in a classroom to understand the basics of driving, but no. We went straight into driving which I thought was so cool at the time, I still think it is cool. Anyway, the first and best memory of racing was for sure the first time I ever got to drive a racing car.

2. Who’s your racing hero or heroes?

I don’t really have a racing hero, but my hero is definitely my father. He has accomplished so much in his life, as well as he lets me race and I can’t thank him enough for that as well as my sponsors.

3. Favourite race car to drive so far in your career? Euroformula without a shadow of a doubt, best car I’ve ever drove and arguably the best one I will drive. But definitely the 2021 spec car.

4. Proudest racing moment so far?

My weekend in Monza. My first win was also great but I had no one to share it with, my parents were in America and right after I had to drive back to the airport and take a flight. But my Monza weekend was great, and most importantly I got to share it with family who were there. That makes it even more special.

5. Do you prefer fast circuits or technical circuits? Technical circuits, if you mean by fast something like Monza than for sure technical. I love Imola which I believe to be really technical, as well as Hungary.

6. Race in the wet or race in the dry?

Dry.

7. Favourite circuit you’ve raced on?

Imola for sure, it just is amazing. I love the ambience, the history, and layout.

8. Favourite you’ve not raced on yet?

Suzuka.

📸 A firm favourite with fans and drivers.

9. Your favourite F1 livery of all time?

McLaren 2007.

10. Who’s the best driver you’ve raced against? Well I mean I think the easy answer is Freddie Slater.
