A lifelong Formula 1 enthusiast, he had only one goal: to break into the world of sports journalism and turn his passion into a profession.
He took his first steps in 2022, when he began collaborating with one of Italy’s most renowned Formula 1 media outlets. This opportunity allowed him to cover several Grands Prix as a reporter, including the races in Imola, Hungary, the Netherlands, Monaco, and Spa-Francorchamps.
After nearly three years of experience in the industry, he joined the UK editorial team of GP Blog in May 2025, aiming to broaden his horizons and gain further experience as a journalist and to leverage expertise to an international level.
