Alessandro’s motorsport career has already demonstrated his skill as a driver, showing impressive results through karting and single-seaters. The 17-year-old from Bièvres, France, has risen through the ranks of national and international karting, graduating to cars for the 2021 French Formula 4 Championship. 

In his rookie season, Alessandro won the French F4 Junior title and came sixth overall in the championship. Throughout the season, he achieved two race wins and a pole position.

Building on this experience in the following year, he went on to secure two wins and six consecutive poles in the final three rounds of the 2022 season, becoming overall series champion. As he progressed, he became a master of qualifying in the final three rounds, scoring six out of a possible six pole positions.

2023 saw Alessandro progress into the Formula Regional European Championship with G4 Racing where he stood on the podium four times, three of which were race wins. In January 2024, it was announced that he would be joining the Williams Racing Driver Academy where he will have access to the full spectrum of academy support.

In 2024, Alessandro will race for a second season in the Formula Regional European Championship with ART Grand Prix.
