Karting

Alatalo started karting in 2009. He had a successful karting career winning the Finnish championship in Cadet (2010), Raket (2014) and OKJ classes (2016).

Formula STCC Nordic

In 2017, Alatalo made his single-seater debut in Formula STCC Nordic with Kart In Club Driving Academy. Alatalo won one race at Anderstorp and finished the season 5th with 142 points.

Italian F4 Championship

Alatalo moved to the Italian F4 Championship for 2018 where he spent two years driving for Mücke Motorsport.^[3] The two seasons in Italy netted him one win and another podium finish in 42 races.

Formula Renault Eurocup

In 2020 Alatalo contested the Formula Renault Eurocup driving for JD Motorsport.^[4] He achieved two podiums and a pole position during the season and finished 8th in the standings with 92 points.

Formula Regional European Championship

FIA Formula 3 Championship

In 2022 Alatalo made the step-up to the FIA Formula 3 Championship with Jenzer Motorsport, having taken part in a number of test days with the Swiss team in the winter. Upon the announcement of his signing, Alatalo commented that this move brought him "one step closer to [his] dream".^[7] He managed to score a points in the first feature race at Bahrain, and followed that up with another point in the next feature race in Imola, benefiting from a penalty for Ollie Bearman. The Finnish driver then went on a points-scoring drought lasting five races, until he managed to collect four points in tricky weather conditions at the Red Bull Ring. Two point-less races in Budapest would come before a fruitful weekend at Spa: there, Alatalo took points in both races, ending up sixth on Saturday and seventh in the feature race. Despite this, a mistake at the restart of the sprint race, where he went into the gravel and lost four positions, cost him a chance at a higher position, which Alatalo took full blame for and described as having been "quite rubbish".^[8] A disappointing round at Zandvoort followed, where the Finn caused a premature end to qualifying after a crash in turn 3, but he would score a best qualifying result of seventh in the final round at Monza, which he called "a good way to end the last qualifying of the season".^[9] Alatalo had more points than either his teammates Ido (2 pts) or Malvestiti (0 pts), scoring 24 points and thus finishing 18th in the standings.
