Career

Formula Ford Pasma started his single seater career in an array of different Formula Ford categories, mostly in the UK but some in his home country Finland. The Walter Hayes Trophy, Finnish Formula Ford Junior Championship, Champion of Brands and Marcel Albers Memorial Trophy were some of the categories he races in.

British F4 Pasma signed up for his first season in British F4 in 2017 for Carlin alongside Jamie Caroline, Logan Sargeant and Lucas Alecco Roy. Five points finishes along with two podiums saw Pasma have a successful start to the season. However, an extremely serious car crash occurred with Pasma and JHR Developments driver Billy Monger on lap 4 of the third race at Donington Park. Pasma slowed along the Schwantz Curve that left Monger unsighted and caused him to slam into the back of the Carlin. Monger reported hearing Pasma screaming in the cockpit . Monger almost died in the crash, but Pasma was not seriously injured. After a long extraction process to get both drivers out of the cars, it was announced the crash meant Monger had both of his legs amputated while Pasma stayed in the hospital overnight for examinations. He was released without serious injuries. Pasma returned for the next round at Thruxton where he finished 13th in the first race and seventh in the two following, a couple more podiums and a handful of points scoring races saw Pasma end the season in eighth place.

Pasma returned for the 2018 season but jumping ship to Arden International this year. The season got off to an okay start as he battled Johnathan Hoggard for the lead of the second race and crossed the line second to get his first podium of the year, however both himself and Hoggard jumped the start, meaning they finished fifth and sixth respectively, Sebastian Priaulx took the victory. His first podium eventually came as he once again battled Johnathan Hoggard who beat him off the line from pole in the final race at Donington, a safety car caused late pressure from Kiern Jewiss however, Pasma crossed the line second. Pasma won the first race of his career at the first race Rockingham where he dominated the field getting Pole, the fastest lap and the race victory ahead of Red Bull duo Hauger and Doohan. Pasma finished the season with two wins, eleven podiums and 315 which placed him in 6th position.

MRF Challenge Pasma was the only Finn on the grid in 2018-19 for the MRF Challenge. For the second time that weekend, Pasma took reverse grid pole at the fourth race in Dubai to which he converted into his first of three wins, Belgian Max Defourny put pressure on Pasma but fell short by half a second in the end. Pasma finished on the podium at least one in all three rounds, the most being three podiums in Bahrain, where he stepped on every step of the podium. Pasma fell short of the title by 94 points, three time W Series champion Jamie Chadwick won the title, followed by Defourny.

After a relatively weak first half of the season in which he had only managed to achieve one podium finish, Pasma came alive in the second half and took four race wins, climbing to fourth in the standings and being the highest-placed driver to not have driven for the Prema Powerteam.

2021

However, after Thomas ten Brinke's surprise retirement from racing following the round at Circuit Zandvoort, Pasma replaced the Dutchman at ART Grand Prix. He finished twelfth in the standings, having experienced mixed fortunes with both teams.
