Silverstone Circuit – British Grand Prix, 2025
The roar of the engines filled the Formula 2 paddock. Adrenaline floated in the environment while the mechanics made the final adjustments to the single-seaters. I, Pepe Martí, adjusted my gloves inside the Red Bull Racing Junior box. The race was about to start, and my mind had only one goal: to win.
My father, Carlos Sainz, was next to me with his arms crossed and a half smile. Even with the Ferrari jumpsuit, I couldn't help but be here. He was a Sainz, after all.
"Come on, Pepe, how do you see it?" he asked with his calm tone, although I knew that inside he was as nervous as I was.
I smiled back, adjusting my helmet.
"Well, I have it under control." I come out third, but you know... the exit is key.
He let out a brief laugh and patted my helmet.
