Born in 2002 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Caio debuted in karting at seven years of age, already finishing runner-up in the Brazilian championship the following year. In only a short space of time, he has managed to win several national and international titles, as well as finishing third in the CIK-FIA KFJ World Championship and sixth in the CIK-FIA European Championship in 2015, in addition to being voted best Brazilian karting driver in 2014, as well as last year. When he makes his debut in the WSK Champions Cup in Adria, Collet will be the first South American driver to represent the Birel ART Factory Team on track, following the career path taken by other Brazilians such as Formula One driver Felipe Massa, who is managed by Nicolas Todt. Nicolas Todt, Birel ART: “Hiring Caio Collet as one of our drivers further strengthens the Birel ART line-up, since he is one of the most promising young talents we have seen in recent years. Brazil and South America have produced many drivers who started in karts and went on to car racing, in some cases going all the way to Formula One. This last group includes All Road Management drivers Pastor Maldonado and Felipe Massa, who are currently working hard in preparation for the 2016 Formula One season”. Caio Collet: "I am very happy to be part of a team that is as prestigious as Birel ART. I'm really looking forward to starting the new season with my new team. I feel very motivated! I hope I can help the team achieve good results and we will be working very hard to do just that. The potential of the entire team is very high, and their support has already been amazing. I can’t wait to get on track!” .

PRESS CONFERENCE Q: Let’s start with you Romain, back on the podium this year. Do you see many opportunities for getting up there again in the remaining races of 2015. Romain GROSJEAN: Well, let’s put it this way: we didn’t think any podium was possible this year – we did it. So, yeah, I think we’re always eager for more, always trying to do our best. Spa was a beautiful opportunity for us and hopefully there will be much more coming. The best we can do is try to work hard and do the same. Q: Looking ahead to 2016, your thoughts on that? Obviously you’re wanting to see what’s going to happen with Renault and the Lotus deal that’s been discussed a lot – but if that didn’t happen, would you consider… your name has been linked with the Haas team, for example, is that something you would consider. RG: I think the other thing I can tell you is that my decision is… I’ve made my decision, everything is clear in my head and I know what’s going to happen for me in the future – but if you don’t mind I won’t tell you any more. Q: Sergio, coming to you, on the same topic of 2016, Robert Fernley in the press conference in Monza alluded to the fact he was hoping to conclude things with you for next year by Singapore.
