📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

NILAS MALIK JOINS MINARDI MANAGEMENT

The 12-year-old Dane showed exceptional talent during the 2024 season. His great speed, combined with great passion and will power, make him the ideal profile for the Minardi Management. The decision to sign Nilas came at the IAME Warrior Finals in Zuera. Despite finishing P24, he proved to have sensational speed, even managing to set faster times than the leaders.

🎤Giovanni Minardi: «We are very excited to have found an agreement with Nilas and his family. After observing him in 2024, where he set extremely fast times on track, we tried to bring him in our agency. That’s because there are very few drivers with enough natural talent to be fast even with little experience. This year, Nilas has a very busy schedule, which we’ll reveal soon. We are sure he can be one of the main protagonists in his category. We’re looking forward to starting to work with him on track and to giving him all our support to push his sporting career to the maximum».

🎤Nilas Malik: “Joining Minardi Management! I’m thrilled to announce that I’m teaming up with Minardi Management! 🚗💨 They’ve worked with some of the best in motorsport, and I’m excited to learn from them and take my racing to the next level. This is an important step in my karting career, and I can’t wait to tackle the challenges ahead! Thanks so much to everyone who’s supported me along the way—I couldn’t do it without you. Stay tuned for more updates! Let’s do this!”

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

FRANÇOIS DARIO KERDAL LEAVES MINARDI MANAGEMENT

The 13-year-old Italian-French driver is no longer a member of Minardi Management. Since he joined us in 2023, François experienced some ups and downs, but he grew a lot both as a driver and as a person. We wish him the best for the next chapter in his career.

🎤Giovanni Minardi: «It’s with great regret that I announce François won’t be a member of Minardi Management anymore. We worked closely with him and his family for a year and a half, and he grew a lot both on the sporting and on the appearance side, therefore it’s a pity that the collaboration came to an early end. Last season did’t go as planned, but we saw good progress towards the end, so we were looking with optimism towards next season. I’m sure he will have the
chance to shine in the team we chose for him before ending the collaboration. We wish him great luck for his future».

🎤 🇮🇹 MATTIA BUCCI INTERVIEW SECOND PART 🇮🇹🎤

This year, in the Italian GT, you fulfilled 3 dreams: becoming a racing driver, driving a Ferrari and racing in Imola. What’s the next dream?
🎤«It’s been a beautiful and important year for me. Rather than dreams, I would like to define them as“goals”, those that I have set myself and achieved. The next steps set are to always improve, to win as many races as possible and to try to compete for a championship».

When can you consider yourself satisfied with your career?
🎤«I’ll be satisfied when I retire (laughs, ed). I have to give my best until the last moment of my career, I hope I can be proud of what I have done».

What legacy do you want to leave in motorsport?
🎤«I hope to become somebody, so I can leave a legacy in motorsport (laughs, ed). What I recommend to all the young people who follow me is to smile at the difficulties, my family has always taught me to look at the glass half full. Using difficulty as a lesson to be able to find motivation: a mistake is not negative, but an event useful to grow to become stronger».

🎤 🇮🇹 MATTIA BUCCI INTERVIEW FIRST PART 🇮🇹🎤

What attracted you first to the world of motorsport?
🎤«My passion for motorsport was passed down to me by my family. My father and my uncle often went at a racetrack riding a minibike; I asked my father to buy me one for my birthday and I was satisfied».

You started racing very young, but on minibikes. What pushed you towards karting?
🎤«The transition to karting happened after my father saw I started going fast on the minibike. To change my mind, he thought of pulling me over on the grass while we were running: I was scared, but he still thought of letting me try a kart on the circuit, I remember it was a 50cc Easy Training. It was love at first sight».

How did you meet Giovanni Minardi and how did he affect your career?
🎤«I met Giovanni through my dad: he initially contacted him after discovering Minardi Management. At first he didn’t answer, but he contacted us later and we signed the contract after I was
examined by one of his scouts in Siena. For me he’s essential, because he has years of experience in motorsport. He’s an important point of reference for my career and will be for a long time. I hope our collaboration can last as long as possible».

What is one lesson you learned in the paddock that you can apply in your daily life?
🎤«An important lesson that the paddock gave me is to always smile even in the face of difficulties, because getting down doesn’t solve anything. You always have to believe in what you do».

You play the drums in your free time. What kind of music do you play and listen to?
🎤«I play the drums in my free time, it’s my second passion after racing. Playing such an instrument, I really appreciate rock: it’s a kind of music with which I can let off steam, even if I listen to all genres».

Which movie describes you best?
🎤«“Rush”, because it represents my passion for motorsport».

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

VLADIMIR IVANNIKOV JOINS BIRELART FOR THE 2025 KARTING SEASON

Vladimir Ivannikov will race with Birelart in the 2025 karting season. The 2010-born driver from Moscow will make his debut in the OK category, a new challenge towards the big step to single-seaters. In 2025, he will take on the CIK FIA European and World Championships, the Champions of the Future and the WSK Super Master Series and Final Cup.

🎤 Giovanni Minardi: «It was one of the easiest and quickest negotiations I have ever done in more than twenty years of my career. Everyone wanted to work together, so the deal was concluded in a short time. I’m glad that Vladimir can start with a new program and a new team. We know we must work hard, because he’s a rookie in the category, but he will have the time and the opportunity to grow, without any rush. I’m thankful to Ronni and Birelart for giving us this opportunity».

🎤 Vladimir Ivannikov: «I’m glad to announce I will be stepping up to the OK category under the Birelart colours in the 2025 season. It’s a team with a very rich history, I’m glad to finally be part of this red family.
I’m very excited for this new adventure: higher speeds, an extremely competitive grid and many new things to learn. I’m thankful to Ronni Sala and Jordan Lennox for giving me this opportunity to show myself. I’ll do my best!».
