A Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy Talent

Rafael’s sharp instincts and remarkable speed in WSK and European karting championships earned him a prestigious seat in the Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy - a launchpad for some of today’s top drivers. In 2022, he made the leap into Formula 4, where his transition to single-seaters was nothing short of impressive.

 

Champion of Formula Regional Europe

Competing in the Formula Regional European Championship, he delivered a dominant campaign: eight victories, five pole positions, and the championship title - all clinched with one round to spare. His combination of pace, consistency, and composure set him apart from the competition.

Leading the Way in Formula 3

Now racing in the fiercely competitive world of Formula 3, Rafael continues to raise the bar. With four pole positions, three wins, and a commanding 26-point lead in the standings, he's proving he has what it takes to go even further. Every race adds to his growing reputation as a future Formula 1 contender.
