"I’m super excited to be joining the Alpine Academy this year. I’ve been working behind the scenes with the team since the start of the year and I’ve been gelling with everyone really well so far. I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone more and settle into being an Academy member. The facilities are awesome, and the door is always open for chats and advice. I’m keen to stick in, work hard and start the 2022 on-track campaign. Driving with Virtuosi, I know we have a good shot at contending for the title. We both definitely want to achieve that together. They are a strong team and have shown they are capable of doing great things having proved it over the last couple of years. I enjoyed racing in the final two Formula 2 rounds last year and also the post-season test, which went well. I’m looking forward to starting the year as strongly as possible in Bahrain. We’ll take it race by race, it’s a long championship with 14 rounds and being consistent will be the aim."
