The drivers reflect on their parents’ dedication, encouragement and share their gratitude for those who have stayed by their side from day one. 

Long before the F1 ACADEMY race weekends and the podium celebrations, there were the early mornings, hard days and countless sacrifices made to help each driver chase their dreams.
