If I needed to describe Formula 1 within the shortest manner attainable, I’d merely blurt out two phrases: high class. It’s the head of motorsport the place solely the most effective of the most effective get to work. The expertise pool in all areas of F1 is so vast and sensible, that many think about it not possible to get there, a life past attain.
Not me.
My dream is to work in F1 as a TV presenter/journalist, a Will Buxton if you’ll. The job comes with perks like unmatched entry to the paddock, year-round journey, and most enjoyable of all, attending to interview the drivers. I’ve to confess I catch myself practising for these within the bathe typically. You by no means know, perhaps you’ll catch me on season 20 of Drive to Survive.
Any true F1 fan would chunk your hand off for that have immediately, even when it was for a single Grand Prix weekend. In fact, why wouldn’t they? It’s the expertise of a lifetime, I do know I’d kill for it. As nice as it could be to stay that each weekend although, these perks aren’t my principal motivation.
I owe my curiosity in F1 to my dad. He used to blast the races at house earlier than I used to be even born, so I used to be within the womb listening whereas Alonso beat Schumacher to 2 world titles. He used to ask my mother on dates to observe the races at house. That’s a good way to spend your Sunday morning if you happen to ask me. Nevertheless, it was loads more durable for him to get me hooked on motorsport than it was for my mother.
As soon as I stayed over at his home to observe a few races in 2019 although, the flame was reignited. I used to be hooked. My YouTube suggestions began getting stuffed with F1 movies and slowly however absolutely, my curiosity was rising stronger. As I mentioned, I owe it to him. It’s the most important factor we bond over and I wouldn’t change it for something. I feel he’d soften if I ever provided to carry him alongside to a race.
Rising up, I’ve had it comparatively straightforward. I‘ve been fortunate sufficient to stay all my life in Venezuela’s upper-class bubble. As a lot as my mother and father are going by tough instances proper now, they’re each current in my life, I by no means miss a meal and I get to review at an incredible highschool. I’ve nothing to complain about.
The factor about this bubble is, that though it yields a cushty life, I really feel like lots of people in it by no means look past the nation’s borders. Many haven’t migrated but as a result of they know a lot of the advantages their life right here offers aren’t obtainable elsewhere. I’ve had buddies inform me I’m loopy for wanting to review overseas and I hated it. I don’t need to keep right here residing the identical boring cycle as different folks round me, even when it means going by robust instances to attain my final aim.
I merely need to show to myself and others it’s attainable whereas bringing las 8 estrellas again to the Formula 1 circus.
I like to observe this video of Kevin Garnett celebrating each every now and then. You possibly can hear the ten+ years of exhausting work that preceded this second. All of the ups and downs he went by chasing that championship ring. That’s what helps me understand something is feasible if you happen to work exhausting sufficient.
Now, it’s my flip to show it.
