Growing up, breaking into motorsport felt impossible—not because you lacked talent, but because you were a girl in a male-dominated world. Every step through karting, F3, and F2 was a battle to prove you deserved your place on the grid. But the moment you stood on that F2 podium, everything changed. Last year, in 2024, Mercedes took notice, and signing that contract became the turning point of your career. After joining Mercedes, everything shifted. Brands and people who once overlooked you now wanted to collaborate, eager to be part of your journey. Sponsors lined up, and opportunities poured in—not just because of your success, but because of the message you represented: resilience, talent, and standing up for girls in the sport. This weekend marked the first race of the season—the Australian Grand Prix. The media day just finished, but you were at a photoshoot for Ralph Lauren, standing alongside your biggest rival on the grid—Lando Norris, the McLaren driver. You stood side by side, leaning against a McLaren 720S, posing for the cameras while engaged in a silent argument.
“…..You’re a girl in a man’s business…You’re seen as this beautiful bombshell. People don’t take you seriously as a driver…Hell, half the fans don’t even care if you finish a race. So don’t even try to tell me you worked just as hard as I did to get here….That’d just be bullshit” he said, his hand casually resting on your waist as he spoke.
