At just 11 years old, Amine Pantoli already has his sights firmly set on Formula 1 – and ultimately victory on the streets of Monaco…
The young Sodikart driver began karting aged five and has built an impressive record during six years of competition, becoming Dutch champion and Belgian runner-up while collecting numerous victories and podium finishes.
Amine says his greatest strength is his determination. He relishes wheel-to-wheel racing and the atmosphere of the paddock, but his ambitions extend considerably further: he dreams of becoming a ten-time Formula 1 world champion and one day winning the Monaco Grand Prix.
Originally from the Paris region, Amine has been visiting the Principality with his father as they search for partners capable of supporting the next stage of his career. He can already count on encouragement from motor racing legend Jacky Ickx.
During his stay, Amine also met representatives of TheArsenale, the Monte-Carlo concept store dedicated to the future of mobility, where discussions centred on nurturing and sharing experience with emerging talent.
Turning potential into progress, however, requires considerable investment. The family hopes Amine will contest a full international karting season in 2027, with an estimated budget of between €150,000 and €200,000.
For now, the destination is clear. The journey is only just beginning.
