How did you get into motorsport?<\/strong>
\nWhen I was 4 years old, I went on vacation to the Canary Islands with my family. There I was allowed to try out a two-seater go-kart with my mother at my side. It was so much fun, but I was too young to drive a real racing kart. Then, when I was 7 years old, I finally got to test drive a real racing go-kart at my local race track. From that day on, I was hooked on karting! <\/em><\/p>\n

How satisfied are you with your 2023 season and what were your highlights?<\/strong>
\nIt was a good year for me. I had a lot of podiums and tried out different cars. I also started driving in shifter karts. At the end of the year, I was selected for the \u201cFIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars\u201d for the third time. This time in the senior category.<\/em><\/p>\n

What are your best moments in motorsport so far?<\/strong>
\nMy first dominant race win in 2021, when I took pole position and won every race. That\u2018s a good memory. All podium finishes are great moments. My first international race in Lonato in 2021 was also a lot of fun. My Formula 4 tests at the Winfield Racing School and participating in Rising Stars are also great memories.<\/em> <\/p>\n

Are there already plans for the 2024 season?<\/strong>
\nI will be taking part in the Dutch championship in Rotax Seniors with Team Kartstore Benelux. I\u2018ve never raced in the Rotax class before, so it\u2018s a great challenge with a new team. I\u2018m really looking forward to racing on new tracks and will be taking part in the MP development program.<\/em><\/p>\n

What are your wishes for your future in motorsport?<\/strong>
\nI always want to develop further, get better and faster. My goal is to be able to drive in Formula 1 or another major series.<\/em><\/p>\n

What else would you like to tell the readers of our magazine about yourself or motorsport?<\/strong>
\nI have been racing for most of my life. Nothing can replace the feeling of racing and winning. Many people think that racing is only a sport for men. Motorsport is a sport for everyone, whether you are a boy or a girl. Follow your dreams and see how far you can go, no matter what people say!<\/em><\/p>\n
