BIOGRAPHY

Matteo De Palo’s single seater racing career got off to a solid start with a run to fifth in the 2023 Spanish F4 Championship, ending the season with four podiums, which include one win. He then competed in his first full seasons of the Formula Regional Middle East and European Championships and returned for second campaigns in both in 2025.
