Over the past year, Westwood has had several notable experiences on his impressive journey. He raced against Ella and Daniel Häkkinen, the children of former Formula One driver Mika Häkkinen, at the ROK Championship. Additionally, he competed at the Franciacorta track alongside Thomas Bearman, the younger brother of current Formula One driver Oliver Bearman.
These experiences highlight the promising start to Westwood’s karting career. His talent was evident earlier this year when he claimed victory at the ROK Winter Trophy in Italy. This win, along with his other recent achievements, bodes well for the young Maltese driver in the competitive realm of go-kart racing.
