Biography

It all began when I was five years old and first drove my first kart. From then on I would go to Sandown kart circuit as much as possible, with my dad until I could get my ARKS license at seven years old. I had my first race in cadets on my eighth birthday winning summer and winter club championships and third place in the national championship. Progressing into International karting I raced in many parts of the world and in 2006 won the British ICA championship and Italian Winter Cup. During these years I had to also work hard on my education at Reed’s School. With a large amount of support from the school, I managed to complete my education with nine GCSE’s including A-Grades in both Maths and Physics, two subjects very closely related to Motorsport.
 
In 2008 I made the move to single seater cars and immediately gained a BMW scholarship after setting the quickest time at the licensing and scholarship course in Valencia, against 63 other drivers. The same year I was made an MSA Race Elite Academy driver and did my first season in Formula BMW, alongside Formula 1, taking two podium finishes in my debut season. After doing a second season in FBMW I decided it was time to come back to the UK and chose Formula Renault UK which I am doing with Manor Competition, the most successful team in the history of the championship who ran Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikonnen.

When I am away from the circuit I work hard on my fitness, and spend a lot of time training at the Renault Formula One HPC. If I have any spare time I like to play golf, which is not only very challenging but requires a lot of concentration. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family, who are very supportive of my racing. When I’m not racing or training I work at Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands, where I am a driving specialist and a member of the Silver Arrows display team.
