Driver Development Advisor Gwen Lagrue on Niccolo:

“We are pleased to welcome Niccolò to our Junior Programme in karting. He has been extremely impressive during his first seasons in Mini, and his international OKNJ debut has been nothing short of exceptional.

"In the coming weeks, he is expected to move directly up to OKJ, where he will be the youngest driver in the category.

"Naturally, he will need time to adapt and continue learning, but we place great confidence in his long-term development and see significant potential in his progression."
