Alex Michael Easton (born 15 April 1995 in Oldham, Greater Manchester) is a British Virtual Motorsport team manager who is the founder and Team Principal of the Phoenix Formula Virtual team.

Personal life

Easton was born on 15 April 1995 in Oldham, Greater Manchester to his mother Jill and father Michael, both biomedical scientists. He grew up in an area of Oldham called Chadderton and studied at the North Chadderton School before going on to study construction at college.

His interest in motorsport began in the early 2000s watching Michael Schumacher dominate the world of Formula One, but Easton's interest grew in 2007 when it became a passion for him.

Career

Easton was an avid follower of Formula Virtual in the early days of the series and followed the sport heavily in 2013 and 2014. Easton then founded his own team, Phoenix Motorsport, with his childhood friend Christian Sear in December 2014 in order to compete in the 2015 FV2 Series season.

Easton Trivia

Easton is rumoured to be the secret voice behind the FVA Formula Virtual press conferences. Through this side mission, Easton has saved Edgardo Agretha from unemployment, successfully antagonised Jamie Franklin several times and incredibly, interviewed himself.

Easton is known to hold a close attachment for spreadsheets. He excels at using Excel.

Easton currently holds a nickname well-known in the FVA circles, one that he himself is not fond of. He occasionally enters races under this name ala Kimi Raikkonen racing as James Hunt.

Despite running one of the most successful teams in Formula Virtual, Easton holds a certain disdain against Phoenix. He is on record for saying he would paint the car brown to mock the team.

Easton currently has two rabbits in custody. There is insufficient evidence to suggest that the rabbits are not the masterminds behind Phoenix.

Despite being named Easton, Easton is not from the East.

It is believed Easton used a "bet" with a fellow competitor as an excuse to hire the famous Austrian driver Abel Osterhagen.

According to sources, Easton bears several similarities to a silly goose.

Whilst all of the above cannot be denied by Easton, he did confirm that he misses the former Highwind Team Principal - a great friend of his - very much.
