I studied to be a car mechanic. That was my plan B. Servicing cars and changing tyres in Finland.
I've had a lot of support from back home, starting way back in karting and since then I have been lucky to have been supported by some great Finnish companies.
I think I am very lucky to meet so many people and go to cool places and nice events. I am lucky to be in partnership with Hugo Boss and the team so I enjoy doing these events.
During my childhood my family risked a lot financially. They put every single penny they could into my racing and also their free time was completely compromised.
When I was 12 there was a big shift in mindset and I realised that if I want to get something out of it then I need to work hard and focus all my energy just for this sport and that's when I started training and taking things more seriously. I became a lot more self-critical and analysed the driving more and more, and that was when I was 12.
