Career edit
Karting edit
Born in Avignon,[1] Alesi began karting in 2013 before competing in the KF3 category in 2013 where he finished 14th overall and the KFJ category in 2014 with Baby Race SRL, finishing 28th in the standings.[2]
French F4 Championship edit
In March 2015, it was announced that Alesi would step up from karting to cars in the 2015 season.[3] In the first race, he took pole position[4] and took victory as well as setting the fastest lap. He secured two more victories and two junior victories and finished second in the junior category and fourth in the overall standings.
GP3 Series edit
2016 edit
In December 2015, Alesi took part in GP3 post-season testing with Arden International and Jenzer Motorsport.[5] That same month, it was announced that Alesi would race in the 2016 season.[6] In February 2016, it was announced that Alesi would race with Trident. After several races at the back of the grid, he scored his first point in GP3 Series in the feature race of Spa-Francorchamps.
2017 edit
Alesi remained in GP3 for the 2017 season, once again driving with Trident. Having scored his first podium at the Red Bull Ring, the Frenchman took victory in the Sprint race at Silverstone. He followed this up by another win in Hungary, with a third win coming at the round in Spa-Francorchamps. He ended up fifth in the standings, having taken more points from two of the final three events.
2018 edit
In 2018 he scored 100 points and finished seventh in the standings, only six points behind his Trident teammate, Pedro Piquet. Alesi won one race and finished on the podium on three other occasions.
FIA Formula 2 Championship edit
2019 edit
On December 8, 2018, Trident Racing announced that Alesi would be driving for the team in the 2019 FIA Formula 2 Championship, alongside Ralph Boschung. Alesi had a slow start to the season, scoring only one point during the first half of the season, that being at the Paul Ricard feature race. From the event at Monza however, he only failed to score points at the feature race in Sochi. He finished the season in 15th place, scoring 20 points, however, he could not prevent Trident from finishing last in the team championship.
2020 edit
For the 2020 Formula 2 season, Alesi switched to his father's former DTM team HWA Racelab, driving alongside Artem Markelov.[7] Despite a strong start to his season with a sixth place at the opening race in Austria, Alesi failed to score points with the team afterwards. As his father Jean later clarified, they had "banked on the wrong team", with the Frenchman eventually switching to MP Motorsport for the final three rounds.[8] He finished his season by scoring another sixth place at the season finale, which landed him 17th in the championship.[9]
Formula One edit
In March 2016, Alesi was inducted into the Ferrari Driver Academy (along with fellow GP3 driver Charles Leclerc), aligning him with the same team his father raced for in the early nineties.[10] He left the academy after his first F1 test, in which he drove a Ferrari SF71H.
Super Formula Lights edit
After leaving the Ferrari Driver Academy, Alesi set his sights on Formula racing in Asia,[11] and more specifically Super Formula Lights, where he was signed to TOM'S,[12] alongside Japanese pair Kazuko Kotaka and Hibiki Taira. With four wins and fourteen podiums, Alesi clinched 2nd in the championship, losing to Teppei Natori by six points.
Super Formula edit
Alesi made his debut in the Super Formula on 25 April 2021 filling in for Kazuki Nakajima in the TOM'S team;[13][14] he would finish 11th in the series, getting a win at Autopolis, having converted it from a pole position.[15][16] Alesi remained with TOM'S for 2022 and 2023 but was dropped by the team in June 2023 after a string of poor results; he was replaced by Ukyo Sasahara for the remaining rounds.[17]
Super GT edit
Alesi competed in Super GT with team Arto alongside Sean Walkinshaw in the GT300 category in 2021. He was promoted to the GT500 category, joining 2021 champions Toyota Team au TOM'S alongside Sho Tsuboi; he replaced Yuhi Sekiguchi, who moved to SARD; the highlight of their season was a second in the first Fuji race, the race being stopped midway due to a heavy crash by Mitsunori Takaboshi. Alesi swapped seats with Ritomo Miyata for 2023, now racing alongside former Honda driver Ukyo Sasahara in the Deloitte car.
Personal life edit
Alesi can speak English, French, Italian and Japanese fluently.[18]
