Who I Am

Driven by Passion.
Racing for Victory.

Hi, I'm Marlon.

I'm 16, I was born in Innsbruck, Austria, and I've lived in Switzerland since I was four. That's why I speak German, French and English.

For as long as I can remember, I've loved anything with an engine. My first time in a kart came fairly late, at 11, but from that moment I knew this is what I want to do.

From the first kart to Formula 4

In my first season in 2022, I finished 6th in the Swiss Championship. A year later I led from the first race and became Swiss Champion, 33 points ahead. That took me to my first IAME World Final and showed me how big the racing world really is.

Then things moved fast: Vice Champion in X30 Senior, a second World Final in Valencia, a factory seat with Kart Republic and my first international podium in Portimão.In October 2026 my big dream came true: my Formula 4 debut in the Aramco F4 Saudi Arabian Championship, on the Formula 1 street circuit in Jeddah. After only 16 days of testing, I took pole position in both qualifying sessions, finished third in my first race and won my second race from lights to flag, with the fastest lap. After the opening weekend, I'm joint leader of the championship and leading the rookie standings.

What drives me

That moment when everything comes together: the perfect lap, the perfect overtake, the perfect start. I chase it every time I get in the car. I'll keep you updated here and on social media, from testing, from the paddock and from the podium, hopefully.

Thanks for being part of this. See you at the track!

What To Watch out for

MY Strength

Rapid
Progression

From my first Formula 4 test to a race win on my first F4 racing weekend. I grow with every challenge and improve race by race.

Race Intelligence & Technical Insight

I read race situations quickly and react with smart decisions. In my first Formula 4 qualifying sessions in Jeddah, that meant knowing when to push and when to save the tyres for the race. My technical interest helps me get the most out of the equipment.

International & Multilingual

Fluent in German, English, and French – I communicate confidently in any environment, from paddock briefings to media appearances.

Focused & Disciplined

I train consistently – both physically and mentally. My focus is clear: building a long-term career in motorsport.
