He is a complete driver who has shown great things in recent years in different categories such as the GP3 Series and the World Series Formula V8 3.5. Last year, during his first season in ELMS, he proved once again his speed. In the wake of the last event in Portimao, we decided to test him on our Ligier and we were clearly satisfied with his performance, despite difficult weather conditions and a wet track. No doubt we can expect a good interconnection all together as Timothé (Buret) knows the team very well and will be a perfect compass for him.”

I enter another world, with a level of professionalism I am proud to reach. I will have the privilege to progress, to learn and to become a better driver.
