“I found out early that speed, focus and discipline are part of who I am. Today I race to win, and to carry with me the brands that believe in the next generation of Brazilian motorsport.”

The driver

Talent, discipline and a story that keeps delivering results.

Henrique found karting by chance. The pandemic meant four years without a birthday party, so in 2024 he celebrated turning 10 at a kart track, and everything changed.

Racing his friends just for fun, he won both heats by a remarkable margin. That caught the eye of the owner of the Itu kart track, who invited him to enter the Copa Paulista Husqvarna, an official rental-kart championship. He won both races on his debut, then went on to win the next three rounds in a row.

What started as fun became a calling. Asked why he loves racing, he answered without hesitation: “Meu lugar é na pista!” (“The track is where I belong!”). The line became his motto, and it sums him up perfectly.

Resilience
A broken wrist kept him off the track for 45 days. He came back winning the following rounds and sealed the São Paulo state title. Every setback became a lesson; every mistake, a step forward.

Performance, training & mindset

Henrique trains every day, on and off the track. In his first test in an F4 Junior kart — bigger, more powerful and with no setup work — he was quickly lapping close to the front-runners.
