They want to encourage future pilots to pursue their dreams
Drivers on the current grid share what prompted them to start their careers
The FIA has announced the premiere of a film about Formula 1 this Thursday at 17:00 CEST. It is a work that reviews what led the current riders on the grid to pursue their dreams and fight to be part of the Grand Circus grid.
The Federation has shared the trailer of the film that will premiere this Thursday, at 17:00 CEST, in which the current drivers on the grid review what led them to become professional drivers under the motto that “everything is possible if you pursue your dreams”.

The drivers sit down to revisit old photos from their early years of racing and talk about how they got started. In the trailer we see the different drivers on the grid sharing inspiring phrases that have marked and served them throughout their careers. We collect those messages that stand out in the trailer:
“The first time I tried a kart, I decided that I would be a Formula 1 driver,” he shares Valtteri Bottas.
“I had quite a bit of trouble believing in myself when I was younger,” says Charles Leclerc.
“There are going to be a lot of people on the road who tell you, ‘You can’t possibly make it,’ but that’s precisely when you have to stay strong,” adds Pierre Gasly.
“It’s surreal, this kid is now a teammate of this driver,” says George Russell.
“The most important thing, the priority is dreams, chasing your dream,” says Lewis Hamilton.
“You have to make sure that it is the child who likes sports and not the father,” recalls Carlos Sainz.
“In the end if you can combine talent and hard work, then that’s when you become something special,” says Max Verstappen.
A surely unmissable film for any Formula 1 fan or future driver, so you will have to be attentive to the FIA’s social networks and its YouTube channel to see it.
