Career

Karting

Born in Avignon,[2] 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.[3]

French F4 Championship

In March 2015, it was announced that Alesi would step up from karting to cars in the 2015 season.[4] In the first race, he took pole position[5] 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

In December 2015, Alesi took part in GP3 post-season testing with Arden International and Jenzer Motorsport.[6] That same month, it was announced that Alesi would race in the 2016 season.[7] 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. He won his first race in the sprint race at Silverstone in 2017. 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

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.

Formula One

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.[8] He left the academy after his first F1 test, in which he drove a Ferrari SF71H.
