<\/a><\/p>\nThe Road to Performance: Andrei Duna, from His First Races to Formula 4<\/h2>\n
Motorsport is not just about speed. It is about decisions made in fractions of a second, about discipline, and about pushing forward even when things do not go the way you planned. Andrei Duna is one of the young drivers building this career step by step, from his early rallycross outings to Formula 4.<\/p>\n
We asked him about his beginnings, what life looks like away from the circuit, and what it actually takes to chase a goal like this.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n That decision came when I discovered Formula 1, during the Hamilton and Verstappen battle. I was watching those races and realised I wanted to get there myself. It was pretty much as simple as that.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A fair amount of time has passed. I would not say the feeling of driving has changed dramatically, but the experience and maturity are different. You learn to handle things in a different way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pretty normal, honestly. University, training, the simulator. When I have free time I spend it with friends. There are busier stretches, but I have gotten used to the rhythm.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The fight for sponsors is tough, especially in Romania. Being backed by a serious company from my hometown means a lot. It is both an honour and one more reason to keep going.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It gives you stability. In motorsport, without resources you simply cannot progress. Consistent support is what separates standing still from actually moving forward.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They are more similar than they appear. In computer science you need to break problems down and think systematically. You do the same thing on the circuit \u2014 you adapt, make fast decisions, and find solutions on the spot.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I try to stay calm. If I feel I am losing patience, I focus on my breathing and on what I need to do. Once concentration goes, mistakes follow.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nYou started in rallycross and now you’re in Formula 4. When did you know you had to make the move to single-seaters?<\/h2>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nYour first race was in 2019, near Pite\u0219ti. How are you different now compared to then?<\/h2>\n
You are studying maths and computer science and racing at the same time. What does a normal day look like for you?<\/h2>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nWhat does it mean to you to be supported by a company from Pite\u0219ti, the city you come from?<\/h2>\n
How does the partnership help you in practical terms?<\/h2>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nMotorsport and IT look like two different worlds. Where do you see the connection?<\/h2>\n
Everything happens very fast in a race. How do you keep your decision-making under control under pressure?<\/h2>\n
