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.
