. James is a mentally tough rising star originating from Miami, FL and
currently living in Brescia, Italy, competing in the F4 Italian
Championship as a Driver for PHM Racing.
As a karter, James won multiple U.S. National Championships before his move
to Europe in 2019. He has claimed two European Championships in the World
Series of Karting. Now, in April of 2023, he made the jump into Formula 4,
a feeder series for single-seaters.
The self-motivated young American racing talent to look out for started
karting at 3 years old and always needed speed. Even though he had no
previous family-racing background, against all odds, he is progressing
through the ranks to become an F1 World Champion.
James can comment on the following hot topics:
-
A first-generation racer that was self-taught learning telemetry data
and race craft, which he picked up from teammates and older drivers by
observation.
-
F1 is a European-dominated sport with only one American currently
competing, and James had to come from the USA and move to Italy in pursuit
of his goal.
-
How he started with a local track, then went regional, then national,
and then left the country.
-
Mental health benefits of racing as a 15-year-old teenager in a very
shaky world where he finds peace and happiness.
-
How to choose and balance between chasing your passion or the comfort of
family and friends as well as the feeling of home.
-
Overcoming injury at 10 from a broken femur and how the sport is as much
mental as it is physical.
-
How young is too young for mental training in your career?
-
Logan Sargeant is the first American to score points in F1 since Michael
Andretti in 1993: who are the next Americans to look for?
James says, “When I started training my mental game at SPMI back in 2014, I
was only six and a half years old. To my knowledge, to this day I am the
youngest athlete to ever train with the company.�??
James’ races are broadcast live, offering exposure to brands that need to
reach a global audience. Previously, he was a Factory Driver for the Tony
Kart Racing Team from 2019 - 2023 and an iRacing Driver for Wave Italy from
2021 to present.
