When you're not at the track, what are your favorite hobbies?

Going to the gym, skiing in winter, spending time with family and friends.

How did you first get into racing/driving, and at what age did you realise it was what you wanted to pursue seriously?

My dad always watched Formula 1 with me, and I always loved fast cars and racing games. I loved watching the movie Cars when I was a little kid, but I only realised that I wanted to do sim racing/racing at 14 years old, when I went to a Racing Unleashed Lounge with my dad for the first time.

Of all the tracks/circuits you've raced on, which one is your absolute favorite and why?

I love Silverstone because I’ve driven thousands of laps on it, and I feel the most confident there with any car.

Describe your most memorable moment on a racetrack so far. What made it so special?

My most memorable moment was my first win, because everything was just so perfect and I got to celebrate it with my family. It was everything I hoped for from the start, and crossing the finish line knowing that I was first will always be amazing.

What skill or mental attribute do you believe is your greatest asset behind the wheel?

Consistency is the most important part, be it being consistent in a race, consistent with practice, or consistent with your results. But you also have to have the strength to accept losses and learn from them, because in the end you always learn more from losing than from winning.

Who is your biggest idol in motorsport and why?

Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. I can't decide who the bigger idol is for me, because I can learn so much from them, both on and off track. They are the greatest racing drivers of all time, and their determination just shows how much they want it, and everyone should be inspired by that.

If you could have any car, a road car for your personal garage and a race car from any era to drive for one season, what two cars would you pick, and why?

I would pick the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 992 because it’s a beautiful car and I love Porsches in general for my personal use, and as a race car for one season I would pick the Mercedes W11 because it was the most powerful machinery ever built in F1, in my opinion.
