Biography
Professional racing driver born on 9 November 1984 in Valladolid, Spain. A life at the top of motorsport — from karting to Formula 1 — and, since 2016, one of the voices of F1 on TV and radio. Today I combine racing with my work as an F1 journalist and TV host.
Chapter 01 · The beginnings
1995 — 2001
Like most professional racing drivers, my four-wheel story started in a kart. I was 11 years old the first time I climbed in and, from the very first session, I knew this was what I'd dedicate my life to.
In 1999 I finished 3rd in the Spanish Junior Karting Championship.
Chapter 02 · The step up
2002 — 2006
In 2002 I moved up to single-seaters in the Spanish Formula Junior 1600 Championship. From there the natural progression: Formula Renault runner-up in 2002 and 2003 and, in Formula 3, runner-up and Iberian Formula 3 champion in 2006.
Each category was one step closer to the goal: Formula 1.
Chapter 03 · The elite
2007 — 2010
The natural step to F1's antechamber: International F3000 and GP2 Series, sharing the grid with names that are world references today. At Spa-Francorchamps, Monaco, Hungaroring and Silverstone I learnt to race at the limit against the planet's best.
The dream came true with official Formula 1 tests at the wheel of the Spyker-Ferrari at Silverstone. Being inside an F1 car changes the way you understand this sport forever, and it's the foundation behind everything I tell in front of a camera today.
In winter 2007 came my first test with Force India and, in 2008, a win in Shanghai and 3rd place in the GP2 Asia Series championship.
Chapter 04 · Grand Touring
2010+
After the single-seater years a new chapter began: GT racing. I competed in GT3 and GT4 with manufacturers like BMW and Toyota, in international championships such as the International GT Open on iconic circuits — Spa-Francorchamps, Monza, Barcelona.
A discipline very different from single-seaters: teamwork, tyre management, co-driver handovers and endurance racing. Another way of understanding motorsport that enriches my view of the sport.
Chapter 05 · The new voice
2016 — Today
In 2016 I take on a new challenge: moving from the track to the studio. I start as a journalist and Formula 1 TV host, covering F1 and support races such as Formula 3, Formula 2 and the Porsche Supercup, plus IndyCar, on Movistar F1 and Cadena COPE and, since 2021, on DAZN F1.
Pit lane, grid, paddock, driver interviews, technical analysis and radio: translating what happens on track so every fan can understand it. My experience as a driver lets me tell F1 with a distinctive voice — technical judgement and respect for the sport.
Chapter 06 · Balancing both worlds
Today
Today I balance both roles. I'm still in the car for coaching programmes and I cover F1 every Grand Prix weekend on TV, interviewing drivers like Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris face-to-face during the race weekend.
My experience as a racing driver lets me tell F1 from the inside: technique, strategy and detail, with the closeness of someone who has been on the grid.
