Next year, however, the 17-year-old from Bologna will not be the only driver to make his debut in the top cadet category of Formula 1. Recently, in fact, another almost ‘blue’ official announcement has arrived.

The Argentinian (who also holds Italian citizenship) will thus make the leap in quality to Formula 2, while at the same time remaining a member of the Williams Driver Academy, which he entered this year. Spanish Formula 4 champion in 2019, the 20-year-old then made his F3 debut in 2022 with another Dutch team such as the Van Amersfoort team, then moving to MP Motorsport.
