The Dark Side Behind the Wheel

Hello,my name is Patricia, Formula 1 is not just a

passion; it’s a way of life for me. I immerse myself in

the world of F1 as much as possible. My background

is quite diverse, with degrees in Civil Engineering and HR with

Psychology.

One aspect of Formula 1 that often weighs on my mind is the

immense stress that drivers endure, especially as they become

public figures. It’s disheartening to witness the prevalence of

racism, hate, and negativity on social media directed towards

the drivers and teams. Such online hostility can cause significant

harm.

This book serves as an alert and a call to action. It aims to raise

awareness about the challenges faced by drivers and teams, but

most importantly, it emphasizes the importance of empathy

and respect from fans like myself. At the end of the day, the

individuals responsible for the teams and the drivers are, above

all, human beings with their own emotions and vulnerabilities.
