He started working as a journalist during 2024 summer collaborating with F1inGenerale.com and writing for PaddockNews24.com, in which he achieved great results. In May 2025 he attended Emilia Romagna Grand Prix as F2 media accredited and during the summer he joined GPBlog.com looking forward to achieve every organisational, and personal, goal.

After suffering a mechanical failure in FP1, the Australian clipped the wall during FP2 and later ignored a yellow flag with 27 minutes remaining in the session.
On the other side of the McLaren garage, Lando Norris also endured a difficult Friday. The British driver topped the timesheets in FP1 but finished FP2 in the pit lane, after he hit the wall in Turn 4 and broke his suspension.
