As a competitive athlete, my personal target is always the same - to be the best I can.

"I’m really excited to get the season started - my third with BWT Alpine Formula One Team. I know the team inside out and I feel we’ve built momentum with a lot of positive changes at the factory. There’s a real buzz around the place and I’m eager to hit the track and see where we stand.

As a competitive athlete, my personal target is always the same - to be the best I can. I also feel much more optimistic heading into this season compared to last year. Back then, we knew from early on that things weren’t quite where we wanted them to be. But by the end of 2024, we were consistently in Q3, fighting for top-ten finishes and even scored a double podium in Brazil. That momentum is something we want to carry into this season.

I’m also looking forward to working with my new team-mate Jack. I’ve known him for a few years now as he’s been the Reserve Driver for two years. We get along well on and off the track and I think we’ll push each other in the right direction.

Starting the season in Melbourne is always a challenge with the travel and time difference, but it’s such a cool event. It’s Jack’s home race, so it’ll be extra special for him. Albert Park is a unique street circuit, bumpy and tricky, and the first few races of the year are always unpredictable because the tracks are all so different. In a tight midfield battle, consistency will be key.

The competition looks intense. Last year, we regularly saw top teams knocked out in Qualifying in Q1 at times, which shows how small the margins are — and I believe that will continue as we go into 2025. With the stability in the rules, things will be extremely close. That’s what makes F1 so exciting; you have to deliver under pressure and every lap counts.

Last year, we started the season in a tough place, but the way we turned things around was really impressive. I haven’t seen a transformation like that within a season before. Long term, we’re here to win. It will take time, but I truly believe we’re heading in the right direction. I can’t wait to get the season started in Melbourne and to see how we perform against the competition."
