“Lots of people have had a very big influence on my development and career, mainly my mum Montse and my coach Genís, they have come to practically every race since 2018 and I have had them always on track with me."

"My dad and my sisters have also played a really big role as they have supported me through thick and thin, thanks to them I have grown to be who I am today as a person and as a driver.”
“At school, I enjoyed Maths and Physics, I enjoy hanging out with friends and racing on the sim. I look up to Fernando Alonso and aim to win the F1 World Championship.”

“I enjoyed 2023, my expectations were to be fighting for podiums and consistent good results. I would say the best race was the Feature Race in Australia in FIA F3.”

“My best race/weekend was Barcelona, I managed to get pole position with a margin and pull away from the pack on Sunday. Looking back I feel like that was the best weekend of the year.”

“I really enjoy high-speed corner sections. Both Barcelona and Melbourne have high-speed sections and they also have strong braking areas, to me these two are really good for my characteristics and I enjoy driving both of them a lot.”

“To me the most enjoyable moment is Qualifying, when you’ve worked really hard with the team and you feel like the car is exactly how you want it and you nail the lap to clinch pole position, to me that is the best feeling in motorsport.

"I also enjoy a lot the team communication and mechanical side of racing where a lot of data is analysed to maximise performance on track.”
"I am very much looking forward to 2024, it will be my rookie season in F2 and my first full season as part of the Red Bull Junior Team. Racing in F2 will mean new tracks and rivals and I’m excited for Bahrain to come and get started with the year. I feel like both the team and I have made good improvements over winter and I’m hoping for a positive start of the year."
