I have been racing for the past 10 years, starting my career as a young kid looking to have some fun.
Now that I'm 17 and racing in international series, my goal is clear: reaching Formula 1 within 5 years.

Moving to Europe was a pivotal step, allowing me to compete against the world's best on iconic tracks.
I’m fully invested in this journey, always pushing my own limits to self-improve and finding success in different series, above all by becoming the 2023 Formula 4 UAE champion.

As every driver, I have to count on the work and expertise of dozens of professionals.
This is why I chose to drive for Prema, the most successful team in the junior series.
The team's experience covers Formula 4, Formula 3, Formula 2, WEC, and more.
