The FIA has released a short documentary about the youth of today's Formula One drivers. Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez, among others, talk about the path they took.
In the short film, the F1 drivers share memories of their childhood, where their careers in motorsport began and explain how they have changed over the years. "I just saw my dad as my dad. I knew he was running in F1, but what does F1 mean when you are three years old. I saw racing cars, that’s what I liked. Now when you look back at the picture it’s of course very special", Verstappen says in the documentary.
FIA wants to inspire next generation
The film is part of a project by the FIA to encourage more people to take part in motorsport. The FIA wants to inspire the next generation to follow in the footsteps of the world's best drivers.
In addition to the short documentary, there will also be twenty short episodes shared about each driver. The videos will be one and a half minutes long and will appear on social media throughout the rest of the season.
