Since making his F1 debut in 2019, alex_albon has been acting as a source of inspiration to young Thai drivers. 13-year-old karting ace Enzo Tarnvanichkul hopes to follow in his footsteps:
His off-track work at an orphanage is helping to make a meaningful difference to the lives of those in need in Thailand, yet his efforts in F1 are also acting as a source of inspiration.
“I just gave it my all, and obviously tried to represent my country as well as possible,” said Tarnvanichkul ahead of picking up the OKJ trophy at the FIA prize giving earlier this month. “I think representing your country that hasn’t had as much success as maybe other countries, you put a bit more pressure on yourself,” he said. “You want to deliver for your country, and show your country in the best way, and make yourself proud and your country proud.
“It’s a very prestigious academy, many drivers that have been in it have reached F1,” said Tarnvanichkul. “Just joining such a famous academy, firstly I feel very happy about it, but then you think about the results and put a bit of pressure on yourself. We try to win. We all go on track, and we all try to win, so that’s added pressure.
“He’s an amazing person,” said Tarnvanichkul. “I think all through his career, he's driven in F1 and Le Mans, he’s an amazing person, and very inspiring character when you meet him in person.
