I’m Eager for My First European Championship Final
Valencia was not yet the moment for me to reach my first Final in the Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship. I didn’t put together the lap I needed in Qualifying and that proved costly. Starting ‘in the middle of the chaos’ in the heats, I was involved in contact in the first two races. I improved as the weekend progressed and managed to reach Super Heat A with a genuine chance of making the Final, but I was pushed off the track by another driver. I managed to finish 19th, but unfortunately outside my objective.
Everything Went Wrong in Valencia
My second round of the Champions of the Future won’t be one to remember. Everything went wrong in Spain, with some difficulties in pace—especially in the races—and multiple contacts on my kart that dropped me down the order and forced me to retire from one of the heats. For the first time in a long while, I didn’t make it to a Pre-Final and, as a result, I also missed out on the Final.
The Pace Is There
My first participation in a CIK-FIA Karting event had been long awaited, and it did not disappoint. My pace was consistently strong and my equipment was always competitive. I achieved some good results, but in one of the heats things didn’t go my way, which forced me to start further back in the Pre-Final. There, luck was not on my side and I got caught up in an incident that set me back and compromised my fight for a place in my first European Championship final.
I’m Ready for the European Championship
I competed in the opening round of the Champions of the Future, and my main objective was fully achieved: to prepare in the best possible way for my participation in the opening round of the FIA Karting European Championship. At La Conca, I struggled in Qualifying, but in the Qualifying Heats I managed to overcome the difficulties and show my true potential. I did the same again in the Super Heat, before being excluded from the OK Junior Final due to an alleged irregularity.
Never Give Up
The fourth round of the WSK Super Master Series started very badly for me — I was spun around twice by rivals and in the last incident I had to retire. That made reaching the Final very difficult, but I kept fighting, overcame the setbacks, and achieved my objective. I had a great Pre-Final, and if there is one lesson to take from this weekend, it’s that I am getting stronger and stronger, both physically and mentally.
Very Positive Weekend
Everything worked perfectly on this new visit to the Leopard Circuit Viterbo. The team did a great job, the equipment lived up to expectations, and I fulfilled my mission of delivering my best performance on track. Strong in Qualifying, efficient and competitive in the heats, I reached the front positions in the Pre-Final and held my ground there. In the Final, I was close to fighting for a top-five finish, but on the last lap I was unlucky and lost positions. Even so, I’m very happy with the performance.
Nothing Went Well for Me on the Return to Viterbo
The 2026 season isn’t going the way I wanted, and in Viterbo I was once again unable to be happy. Qualifying for the 1st round of the WSK Euro Series didn’t go well. Then, I was involved in an accident in Heat 1 and seized the engine in the following one. I finished 18th in Pre-Final A and now I’m waiting for the next race, also in Cremona, where I hope to turn my competitiveness into results. My focus and desire to compete are at their maximum.
I Didn’t Start The Season Well
After a long break, the season did not start in the best way for me. In La Conca, both the team and I were encouraged by the test results, but during the race weekend everything went the opposite of what we had hoped for. In qualifying and the heats I was never competitive and ended up missing the Final. There are many things to analyze and improve in what is an intense year that has only just begun.
