"I started when I was 4 years old. It all started because of my brother. He rode and I used to watch him from the fence. One day I was crying because I wanted to try and then they let me.”

"My racing hero is Marc Márquez and I would like to make racing my career."
"In 2022 I learnt how to face defeats. It was not a good year related to my career but it has helped me a lot in keeping focus despite failure."

"I finish my compulsory secondary education in 2023 as well as continue growing in the motorsport world. I enjoy English and maths. Finishing my compulsory education is important because I would like to have the opportunity to go to a university related to sports.”
"The best race of my early career was in Valencia in the Hawkers European Talent Cup. I chose this race because in the last 5 laps, I was in third place but in the last moment I could catch the racers ahead. I overtook the first in the last corner and I won."

"I had a great race in 2022, also in Valencia. I started in the back of the grid and with a long lap. It was a really difficult race but in the end, I could achieve 16th place."

"The left fastest corners are what I like more. I find them very exciting because I feel very satisfied when I do them well."

"What I like the most is to do my best. Maybe I don’t win but I like to feel that I have given my 100%. With that, I would learn how to improve and be better in the future."

"I work a lot day to day to improve myself, both on the track and in my life. To do that I go to school every day, get good grades, go to the academy and gym in the afternoons and train in other modalities such as motocross or flat track, which I enjoy a lot. I enjoy going to the gym, also playing video games and going cycling."
