Spa-Francorchamps

"Spa-Francorchamps is my favourite track. I raced there in Formula 3 in 2018 and most recently in DTM. Last year in DTM, I set a new speed record with 302 km/h. We will certainly break this mark in LMP2. But it's not just the speed that fascinates me about Spa. The track is a real rollercoaster with numerous passages that are technically very challenging."

Portimão

"I would have liked to race at Sebring for the season opener. I've only heard good things about the track. And I've never been to the USA. But I'm also looking forward to Portimão. I know this track from Formula 3 tests and I really enjoyed driving there. I think that could become a very interesting race. And I am very much looking forward to it."

Monza

"I know Monza very well. And it will be my home race this year. I hope that the epidemiological situation has eased so that as many Swiss fans as possible come to Monza. Because you drive with as little downforce as possible in Monza, the top speeds will be around 320 km/h as well. So it will definitely be a fast race – with lots of action."

Le Mans

"The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the highlight of the year. It's a childhood dream that I will be part of this race. I can't quite gauge what it means yet. I don't have the experience for that. But the preparation for this event alone will certainly be very special. With the new hypercars and the fast LMP2s, this year's event could be an exciting battle between these categories. I even believe that you can race for the overall victory with an LMP2 this year."

Sakhir

"I only know Bahrain from television. But because there is a lot of driving and testing there, the team has a lot of data. This will help me to get used to the track quickly. The heat will certainly be an issue. In a closed car, the temperatures can rise to 60 to 80 degrees. But most of the race is held in the evening. That makes it more bearable."

Profile

I started karting in 2009. And I won the Swiss championship there twice. In 2015 I became Young Driver of the Year.

In 2016 I switched to car-racing and I won my first race in the ADAC Formula 4 straight away. In 2017 I finished 5th with a win and a total of five podiums.

In 2018 I switched to the highly competitive F3 European championship. There I achieved my best result with 2nd place in Spa-Francorchamps. In the rookie classification I ended up in 7th place with one win and a total of five podiums.

In 2019 I raced in the FIA International Formula 3 as part of the Sauber Junior Team.

Last year, I switched to the WRT Audi Racing Team and completed my first DTM season. The best result was two fifth places.

This season, I'll be taking on the next challenge in LMP2. There I will drive for the world champion team United Autosport in the World Endurance Championship (WEC).
