Alessia Dallafontana: Thanks for having me. [00:01:00]

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. So let’s start. I know that you’ve been in, uh, electric carting, uh, all your way. Start right away.

Alessia Dallafontana: Yeah, I did start it in electric racing. And I think that the thing that, you know, hooked me was obviously, um, the speed, you know, that shut off adrenaline, but I think also that constant feeling, you know, of butterflies in your stomach.

Mm-hmm. You know, it. It’s, it’s a nice feeling, you know, sometimes it’s, you know, related with, with nervousness and all that stuff, but I don’t know, for me, it’s like a reminder that I’m doing the thing that I love and that I’m really, um, into it and, you know. Making everything possible to do it right.

Mm-hmm. I don’t know. It’s like that reminder that I’m doing what I love and that I’m doing it [00:02:00] right.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: That’s awesome. So that was more like fun for you, right? When was like you, uh, decided that that’s your dream to.

Alessia Dallafontana: So it’s funny, it was, um, a weekend of Formula One race and I was watching it with my family and after that we decided, um, to go to a cartoon track, you know, just to have some fun.

Mm-hmm. Um, but the thing is I really loved it. Um, I say like, instead of a love at first side, it was like, love at first drive. I don’t know. I, I enjoyed it so much that I asked my dad if it was, if it would be crazy to, to try it as it’s as a sport. Um, I mean, I’ve always been like. A very sportive person.

Mm-hmm. You know, trying many disciplines at school level competitions, but you know, always there, um, searching new sports. [00:03:00] Um, but yeah, now that I look back, um, nothing felt how Hearting feels like. I don’t know. Um, it’s a feeling I can’t really express with words, but I think that the smile underneath my helmet says, you know?

Mm-hmm. And it’s, yeah.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Nice. So you, you just, uh, felt like. Hey, this, this is, uh, uh, like my job, which I want to do and I want to sing Driver. Yeah. And actually the formal one inspired you. Uh, yeah. Think in that way. That’s awesome. And yeah, you mentioned that, uh, you went on with your family. Uh, can you, how family react?

Uh, like, you know, that’s dangerous sports, of course. And, uh, maybe they worry about you. Yeah,

Alessia Dallafontana: yeah. So yeah, obviously they’re, sometimes it gets scary, you know, it’s, it’s. It’s a tough sport. Yeah. And sometimes it can be really dangerous, but I think that, um, I don’t know, they’re always been there [00:04:00] supporting me and making sure I am doing the things I love and achieving all my dreams.

So yeah, I think they. Play like a crucial role in this journey because, well, for me, um, I don’t know. Family is, it’s really important and, you know, having their support, um, keeps me motivated, you know? Mm-hmm. And it just, yeah, the reminder that. Yeah, as well. I’m doing the things I love, the people I love support me and yeah, I, I’m really grateful with them for, for being by my side in this journey.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: It’s really nice that, that’s real few more tough times on the racing track and to adapting to the cars. Uh, can you about started in cars and then you moved to professional cars? Uh, yes. In Mexico, you, uh, earned P two. And how do the podiums. [00:05:00]

Alessia Dallafontana: Well, obviously they felt amazing. I mean, one of, uh, every driver’s dream is to be on the podium and Yeah.

You know, it was like my first dream. It’s becoming a reality and mm-hmm. Yeah, it’s, it’s, it’s an amazing feeling, but for me it was also like that boost of confidence. I mean, it made me realize that I belong in this world and I felt proud of myself because, because, um, those result, those results were, uh, the product of my hard work during my first months of my.

Of my current journey

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: also. Tell me about your view started with electric cars and driving cart with, uh, with engine. Yeah. Uh, how does it feel? Was it different? Uh, you know, we got a lot of EV cars, uh, nowadays on the roads. Yeah. Uh, what do you prefer from your side?

Alessia Dallafontana: I mean, obviously the, I felt a [00:06:00] huge change, you know, because, um, the electric guard, well, at first.

They, they don’t have the same, you know, the same sound, you know, it’s not the same. Mm-hmm. The same sound. Also the feeling changes, the driving changes, you know, because it’s, it’s a different track, a different engine and yeah. One runs with full battery and the other one has electrical parts and also aing with gasoline and all this, this stuff.

So. Yeah, it was, it was a huge change because, well, also the speed, you know? Mm-hmm. Um, the change of speed is really, really, it impacts you, so. Yeah, I did felt it like a, a big change. And at the beginning it was tough for me, you know, because I, I was used to a way of driving with the electrical cards.

Mm-hmm. And when changing to the professional cards, well I, I needed to [00:07:00] adapt to these new, um, way of driving. So, yeah, at the beginning it was tough, but with the time and training and. You know, compromise it. It changed, you know? And now, and now I feel more. You know, more, more confident mm-hmm. In this new other way of driving.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. You know, definitely I started from, uh, ing, like I started in professional ing right away, but I had some endurance races and rent cars. Uh, definitely, uh, because professional cars. They’re lighter. Um, yeah. Yeah. And, uh, you know, accelerate in a really fast way. So yeah, it’s, it’s really cool that you jump into this because, uh, I think nothing with Scar was, uh, especially if you ever going to try them.

Yeah. They’re really fun. Yeah. Yeah,

Alessia Dallafontana: yeah. Yeah. I’m looking forward for, uh, trying Yeah. The, the shift during the season. So, [00:08:00] yeah, we’ll see, we’ll see that big change.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. But you know, also physically they’re really hard. Uh, so then I raise an open wheelers and I can say that open viewers a little bit easier than driving in, uh, the, the shifter cart.

Yeah,

Alessia Dallafontana: I can imagine.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, they’re really hard to drive. Um, so you moved Spain actually to join, uh, car championships here? Yeah. Uh, what actually decided.

Alessia Dallafontana: So I found a sports academy. Mm-hmm. And we decided this change because, um, what the academy offered. So in Mexico, I couldn’t always balance school with carding.

You know, I trained on track as much as I could, and I kept a basic gym routine. Mm-hmm. But now that I’m in the academy, I can attend to school, uh, train and track, train with a physical trainer, uh, [00:09:00] have sessions with, um, I don’t know, nutritionist, psychologist, and physiotherapist. Mm-hmm. When it’s needed and all within a schedule that allows me to do everything.

Uh, yeah, I mean, I miss Mexico a lot, but Spain has been like a, a great opportunity to keep growing as an athlete.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, why don’t you think that you, uh, actually try racing here or you really, uh, like European, uh, motor sport? Yeah.

Alessia Dallafontana: Well, I mean, I think that, well since little, I, I’ve always wanted to, to live in Europe, you know?

Mm-hmm. It’s, it. There are places that I, I really like, and I don’t know, it was more of, I found an academy in Spain. Mm-hmm. And, um, yeah, I, it was more like, oh, I found this opportunity and I’m taking it. Mm-hmm. So. [00:10:00] It’s not like I was looking for many options and then I choose one. No, it was more like I saw the opportunity and, um, well, obviously after talking to my family and all this stuff, I, we, we, we made that decision, you know?

Mm-hmm. And well, it, it was also like a personal thing because my parents were looking forward to, to, to move to Spain. Mm-hmm. So. Although I’m in Barcelona and they’re in Madrid, you know, having family closer and yeah, they keep, you know, achieving their dreams, you know, their goals, moving to Spain and start a new life here.

And obviously being as much as, um, close as much as they can to me. So we’re. Together. Mm-hmm. So, yeah, it was more of like, oh, we have the opportunity, we take it and well, it, it also, um, turned [00:11:00] out that it was like a family goal to move to Spain. Mm-hmm.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: That’s really nice that your goals kind of, uh, met and, uh, you got, yeah.

Uh, only one way, like to Spain and, uh, yes. Here and develop. Cool. Um, yeah. What’s the biggest, ch, biggest, uh, difference between racing? What,

Alessia Dallafontana: so, in Mexico, the, the passion is huge and the atmosphere is very supportive. While in Spain, the structure is more demanding and competitive mm-hmm. With bigger greeds and stronger rivals.

But at the end, both exes have. Being important. You know, I mean, Mexico gave me my first steps and you know, that first confidence and Spain pushes me to keep evolving.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: So actually that big, uh, I know that, so in, in car, nice way, like all the stuff, um, where that Spain is more like, uh, motorcycle, uh, con uh, yes.

But on the other side, I [00:12:00] think also got not only one card circuit. Right. Um, so. Now you can mean the Valencia champ. Tell me more about this. What the hardest part of,

Alessia Dallafontana: so I think that the hardest part has been, you know, adapting to the intensity and consistency required, I mean. The level in Spain is very high, so you have to be at your best in, in every single session.

So I think, uh, that part of adapting, you know, because also Mexico and Spain, although we have the same language, they’re. They have different cultures. So it’s, I mean, I am, I’m, I’m 18 years now, but 17 years of my life, I, I, I lived in Mexico and yeah, I was pretty used to a way of living there. Um, and now moving to Spain, you know, it’s a new whole, um, adapting process.

Process. And. Probably, you know, [00:13:00] that part of adapting has been, uh, quite tough. But with the time, it’s, it’s, it’s easier now.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, so you like adapting to life and together adapting to the championship? Yeah. And uh, cart and everything like, uh, together in one moment actually. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Uh, pretty much. So you moved to Spain like, uh,

Alessia Dallafontana: yeah.

It was a year ago. Yeah. Mm-hmm. In September last year it was.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Okay. So still got a lot of time, mission, and uh, yeah. And definitely you go to, um. So what’s, uh, what’s the one moment you’re the most proud or find this, uh, academy?

Alessia Dallafontana: So, I mean, I, I, I don’t think I have like a specific moment. It’s more like through the whole year.

Mm-hmm. And it’s, um, you know, I’m really proud of my progress throughout the season, you know, my [00:14:00] individual evolution. You know, at the beginning it wasn’t, it wasn’t, um, what did you say? It wasn’t easy. Um, I mean, that part, I needed to adapt to different things and obviously the first impact is really high.

But, you know, with the time and, um, the people around me has, has made this progress progress, um, easier. Mm-hmm. And yeah. Um, looking back now and to all those moments, I am, I am really proud of, of that progress and yeah, always, um, keep head up and, you know, keep this progress. Evolving, you know,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: it’s nice. So enjoy the moment, the people.

Yeah. Uh, who are with you. It’s actually really nice to have. Uh, so now I’m in some racing and then we got all these, so I’m really happy that in Spain with ing, uh, because Thank you. You know, ING can be sometimes, uh, yeah. Because you know, young guys, they’re really hot. [00:15:00] They, they just want to win all races so some spices can happen.

So yeah, it’s really cool that you adapt, uh, in a nice way to support. Um, so what plans do you have, uh, this year and, yeah.

Alessia Dallafontana: So for this year, the plan was, uh, competing at the Valentine championship and trying a test and like, you know, a testing session from, um, the Spanish championship. Mm-hmm. And I actually had the test, um, last weekend and in two weeks I have the last competition of the championship.

So for. This year, you know, 2025, um, you know, it’s finishing the season with that last race and, you know, um, for the next season it’s, you know, giving that step to the Spanish championship. Mm-hmm. You know, I agree. Uh, a bigger greed, um, more. More competition, you [00:16:00] know, and yeah, pretty much that, you know, giving that, that step forward.

Mm-hmm. And keep open in carting. So yeah. I’m, look, I’m looking forward to, to the Spanish championship.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, what class are you?

Alessia Dallafontana: It is, uh, in carting and it’s X 30 senior.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: So this is like, uh, an adult class. Yeah. Because I know that, uh, you know, when I was in ING can get into adult class 10 years old. Yes. So now you can feel like this.

Yeah. Yes. Alright. Yeah. Yeah. The,

Alessia Dallafontana: I think this, this category has like, uh, from 15 years to, I don’t know, probably 50, 60. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think you can, yeah. Yeah, you can definitely. I think there’s not like a limit on. Mm-hmm. About, you know? Mm-hmm.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. All right. And you mentioned that you’re inspired by F1.

What do you want? Like, would you like to open or maybe would like to, let’s just talk like, [00:17:00] uh, that’s your dream or something. Uh, or maybe you can, yeah. Take, uh, like both the opportunity.

Alessia Dallafontana: Yeah. So as you mentioned, you know, I feel very connected to their mission of giving visibility mm-hmm. And opportunities to, to women in motorsport.

And I mean, obviously seeing girls competing at such high levels, um, proves that it’s possible, you know, and it motivates me to, to keep working hard and I do that. Well, I hope that one day I can also inspire younger drivers as these drivers, um, inspire me. But yes, I think that probably my main goal. It’s, um, you know, formula raising.

I know it’s the, it’s, it’s the thing that I’ve been watching all these years and I really enjoy, and I can feel it through the tv, you know, and I’m, I’m, I’m really excited. Uh, I mean, I’m always [00:18:00] open to new categories, you know, and it will be nice either to try an endurance or a gt, you know? Mm-hmm. Just to, you know, have all the options and, you know, just to clarify in my mind, you know, and notice that there are different options mm-hmm.

From where I could continue. But yeah, I think that my main goal is from your racing.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Of course, it, uh, depends on the budget which you’re going to have. Yeah. Because yeah, formal. So yeah, it’s really cool that you like, okay, let’s take this opportunity and like you can jump to GT car anytime or into the formal.

It’s really nice. Um, you also mentioned that you. Like formal E Tell me more about, uh, how do you solve racing? Like, uh, are we going to have only, or you think that, uh, in,

Alessia Dallafontana: yeah, so I mean, I think that the future of electric racing is very promising. You know, Motorsport is evolving, you know, categories like F1 want to go to zero.

They have the zero project [00:19:00] and. Yeah, young drivers like me will, will have the chance to grow alongside this change. Um, obviously it’s not just about performance, but also about sustainability and innovation and yeah, I would really love to be part of this, of this transition. Um, yeah, I mean, I think, I mean the, the mission is it’s, you know, really innovative, but.

For example, formula One, I think they will achieve their zero mission, but I think that other categories will stay with the normal engine, with gasoline and the, you know, that war of the engine. Mm-hmm. But yeah, I think they will start to play with that mix of electrical part and then gym part.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: So like, uh, hybrids?

Yes. Like a P Yes. Class and lemon. Yes. Maybe we got also hybrids, the formal one, also the hybrid. Uh, yeah, they got the system so. I [00:20:00] think, you know, when, uh, we’re talking about, uh, hybrids, like on the road hybrid, uh, because like it’s more effective. You not connected to the charger all the time for racing Play more.

Yeah. Uh, from braking, in my opinion. Uh, only ev because ev cars, they heavier than hybrid. That’s a factor is really crucial in racing for sure.

Alessia Dallafontana: Yes.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, you’re also finishing the high school and academy, so how you balance in your life? Is it hard for you to study, exercise it, the racing driver at the same time?

Alessia Dallafontana: Yes. So obviously the academy has been like a, a huge help on this part of balancing school and and sport. Yeah, but also like the school part has been very supportive. You know, if. I need to be out for the weekend, you know, uh, from Thursday, let’s say Thursday and Friday, I miss school. So, [00:21:00] um, I don’t know if I miss a, a lesson outta class or if I miss a test.

Um, the school helps me, you know, they, they, they give me, you know, this extra week to maybe study for the test and then, um, making it, or if I. In the case I lose, um, I don’t know, a lesson. Uh, the teacher, it’s, it’s there for helping me. You know, if I don’t know, for example, I ask for, um, my friends for help, and if I don’t really understand it or I’m not like fully into it, I can go to a teacher and mm-hmm she will help.

Because they’re really supportive in this, in this part, you know? Mm-hmm.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: It’s really nice. So you kind of like, uh, can miss some lessons and then like go to and work on the topic and then Yeah. Do test and it’s really nice. Um, you also got sports, uh, psychology. Um, from my side, I see that Central Hills.

Part of our life for sure. It’s a [00:22:00] big part of the sport. What excite you about the university?

Alessia Dallafontana: Yeah, yeah, so I mean, I’m really inspired by my, you know, my own experience. I mean, as you say, as you mentioned, sorry, our head is crucial and you know, at all times we need to be really focused and. That may sound easy, but applying it, it can be complicated.

Mm-hmm. You know, the mind can play, play some tricks that if you don’t know how to control them, it can play on the wrong side for yourself. So, for example, at the first, at first, I, I didn’t have a psychologist and from time to time it was tough, you know, to get out of my own thoughts. Mm-hmm. But. I mean, I obviously had, uh, my family there supporting me and, you know, trying to help, but it’s not the same, you know.

So when I arrived to the academy, I started [00:23:00] having sessions twice a month. Mm-hmm. And during race weekends. And that really helped me, you know, to be more confident, to stay concentrated. You know, I learned to deal with all these mm-hmm. Intrusive thoughts and also these feelings and yeah, simply to clear my mind to, to clear my mind.

And yeah, I think that with a clear mind, performance is better. Mm-hmm. So, yeah, I, I appreciate all this help so much that now I truly understand how important our mind is. And I mean, eh, personally, I’ve always been like a very sensitive person. Mm-hmm. And I’ve always liked helping others. So while watching, I don’t know, interviews from drivers, I noticed that there are many drivers that are dealing with these struggles and I don’t know, maybe, um.[00:24:00]

There’s not enough help to, to these kind of situations. So I don’t know, these kind of things makes me put myself like on their shoes. Mm-hmm. And, you know, to really understand them. And yeah, my goal is that one day I would, um, you know, like to help these, uh, or other drivers, you know mm-hmm. With sports psychology, because, I mean, it’s.

Very, it’s, it’s at very, it’s very, um, a dedicated, um, subject and it needs to be treated well, you know?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, absolutely agree with you. It’s,

Alessia Dallafontana: yeah. Um, it’s very important and I would really, I would really help like to help others.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: It’s really nice that it would like, uh, because you know, you’re talking about other sports, I think they had.

Cycle like long time, like lot longer than in racing for sure, because in racing, uh, you know, people rather rely [00:25:00] on them themselves, uh, than on this. But, uh, right now I think everybody on this part, we got our minds and we have to work with an everything things. There’s a lot of calm down before the race do after the race.

Yeah. It’s really nice that you’re interested actually. Yeah. Racing. Um, do you have any before the race? Calm down to,

Alessia Dallafontana: so, um, uh, I don’t think I have any ritual. You know, I’ve always heard other drivers saying they put first the right glove and then the left one, or first one shoe, and then the other one, I don’t really think I, I have this type of rituals, you know, I just go for it.

The first one is, mm-hmm. You know, I, I really don’t mind which one goes first, but, um, you know, before a race, I, I really like, you know, just to. Stay calm, you know, avoid stress, be with myself, maybe listen to some music, you know, just to disconnect from everything and everyone. Mm-hmm. [00:26:00] Um, this year I’ve been trying to get used to, to, um, you know, stretch.

Mm-hmm. Before every race. Because at the cart you get like many, many stress, you know, physical stress. Yeah. Maybe from a turn or this kind of stuff. So, um, yeah, I really like to stretch just to make sure I won’t injure myself. And I also like to, um, we have these like lights and play with mm-hmm. Uh, so like,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: uh, how do you say it?

Play with reaction? Yeah.

Alessia Dallafontana: Yes.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Reaction test, something like,

Alessia Dallafontana: yes. Just to, um, you know, also train, um, your mind. Mm-hmm. You know, to. You know, get warm, you know? Mm-hmm. And yeah. Uh, when I’m already in the cart, you know, before getting out of track, you know, just to breathe and constantly remind that, you know, because sometimes we’re really focused on what we are doing and we need to be [00:27:00] concentrated in many stuff, you know, the turn or maybe the drive in front of us or behind of us, or maybe, uh, alongside us or.

You know, paying attention at many things that sometimes we forget to breathe and to be relaxed, and that’s when, uh, mistakes arrive. But yeah, you know, just to constantly remind myself to, to be calm, to breathe, and. While staying focused.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: So you just said think we got a lot of, uh, calm down, uh, our mind because when you’re less stressed, you are more focused.

Cool. And so can you give advice to girls who would like to, to car center jump into Formula Driver alongside with, with guys? So what advice give to them?

Alessia Dallafontana: So first of all, and I think that it’s the most important thing, it’s don’t let your dreams leap away. You know, I think, um, that dreams are very important and that you always need [00:28:00] to, to catch them.

Hmm. And yeah, I mean, I think that a good first step is to go to the nearest carting track and, you know, ask for advice. You know, maybe talk to local drivers or maybe, um. Go to the local teams, you know, each one of them will have different, uh, things to offer. Mm-hmm. And after discussing with your family, and you can make a decision, you know, with the, the, the best decision for yourself.

And yeah. But I think that always keeping in mind that there is always a way in, you know, and if the door doesn’t open, there is always a window. So don’t give up because there, there is always a way in, you know?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. Here’s a lot of opportune. Round out, not joining, uh, open wheelers, ut cars with some racing, which is moments.

Uh, so yeah, a lot of different options. Track and inspire people, people [00:29:00] as you help them as well. Uh,

Alessia Dallafontana: yeah. And I also think that, you know, being grateful with the people who support you, you know? Mm-hmm. Because at the end, it’s a big family, you know? Um, your family is there, your friends are there. Obviously your team is there, but I also, um, would like to add that this, the, the support of sponsors is really important, you know, and I mean, car is very demanding at, at all levels and, you know, well, I’m always looking for new sponsors.

I would like myself. Um, to thank and mention these two sponsors that been helping me throughout this year. Mm. Eh, we group that is a last Mile logistics company and WBA group. A leader in digital transformation. They’re based in Spain, but they’re operating worldwide. Worldwide. And [00:30:00] I mean, they help companies grow and push boundaries, which is like the same spirit I carry with me in sports.

So, yeah, I think that one of, um, the biggest, uh, advice I would give is to always be grateful because there is a huge family from behind that are supporting you and. Yeah. I think that without them, this wouldn’t be possible. So yeah, always be great with this opportunity.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, for sure. Uh, you’re right. And also can tell, viewers can find you, like follow your career, going to see you in formal one and, uh, would like to see your way, your journey.
