Having competed themselves, my father and my uncle are very passionate about motorsport, so I inherited it from them.

My career in racing started at a very young age in California.

I enjoy racing so much. Ever since I was 8 or 9, I trained every stroke, because it was the only way I could race a lot.

I've decided to retire from top class racing. It has been an incredible experience and has provided with me some unforgettable moments.

I've always known there's more to life than just racing for a long time.

For the last seven years, I have been racing the best in the world and making my way through the ranks. I am in that spot where I have got a real opportunity to produce something. I am not going to take it for granted because I know those guys will step it up.

I have motorsport in my DNA and there's no way I can stay away from that world.

I drove long distances like the 24 hours of Le Mans for years. But even this racing is now over. I retired.

Once I decided to retire from bikes, there was no thought to go racing again. I wanted to have a full year off and maybe even see the world a bit.
