He’s just turned 14 and has spent most of his life in the UK where he was born, since living in Japan for the first 5 years. His mother is Japanese and his father Slovakian, explaining why Kean proudly displays both national flags on his racesuit, but he’s the first in his family to fall for Motorsport. At a young age, he was already hooked on watching racing on TV and his parents eventually gave in to his requests to go karting, taking Kean on the hire karts for his 7th birthday. A year later, he made the next step to start in the Honda Cadet class, with his dad as mechanic. Now he’s Junior World Champ!
