17-year old, from Milan in Italy, Leo is currently in his penultimate year of high school and plans to attend an engineering university. I have been passionate about cars since I was born, but got introduced to the racing side of it only at 8 years old when I first went to my local karting track. Since then, racing has been my main passion. I’ve played other sports as a kid such as football, tennis, basketball and skiing, I didn’t continue any of them at a competitive level, dedicating myself to my racing career. As of today, I’ve raced and won multiple mid-level karting championships in my country, and only lately have been introduced to the top national level in Italy, getting my best result at the end of 2023 after being invited to race at the karting world championship finals in the OK-N category, finishing a strong P5 after starting the qualifying heats all the way back in P31 due to a mechanical failure. Because my parents are not able to economically support all the track days that my rivals are able to do, the most powerful tool with which I have improved as a driver has been in sim racing, particularly with race strategy, team playing and racecraft. I managed to climb the rankings in sim racing competing with the very best from all around the globe on the iRacing platform, scoring wins and podiums in various international championships. During this time, I’ve developed qualities such as being able to cope with pressure, decision-making mid-race, as well as learning to work hard in order to achieve the results I desire. My goal is to be at the top level of whatever category I’m racing in, regardless of the car or the track; beating the competition is my top priority.
