The sport competition that I remember clearly is the Manaco Grand Prix is the race of Formula 1. Actually it’s the most famous and challenging. The tracks were really narrow, it was full of sharp turns surrounded by barriers. There was no room for the drivers to make mistakes. I was interest from the start to the finish. What I like the most about the races is the combination of speed of strategy and the skills. The incredible speeds, the drivers have to think constantly, even when they are stressed under pressure and having an incredible speed for example for 300 km an hour. For example, they have to know how to turn, how to manage the tires and of course they have to think about their safety. Actually, it’s not only about driving fast, it’s about smart decisions under pressure. What I love the most about the races and actually the drivers that I love the most is Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, because they know how to control the car in high speeds. The most atmospheric moment was the pit stops. They had only few seconds to change their tires, and even a small delay could cause a whole race. Also, it showed the importance of teamwork, not only by decisions of drivers. He taught me success and the influence of focus and teamwork. Not so formal, why am I saying about only speed, it’s about strategy and staying calm in pressure.

The sports competition that I remember clearly is the Monaco Grand Prix, which is a Formula 1 race. Actually, it's the most famous and challenging. The tracks are really narrow, full of sharp turns surrounded by barriers. There is no room for the drivers to make mistakes. I was interested from the start to the finish. What I like the most about the races is the combination of speed, strategy, and skill. The incredible speeds mean the drivers have to think constantly, even when they are stressed under pressure and going at incredible speeds, for example, 300 km an hour. They have to know how to turn, how to manage the tires, and of course, they have to think about their safety. Actually, it's not only about driving fast; it's about making smart decisions under pressure. What I love the most about the races, and the drivers I admire the most, are Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, because they know how to control the car at high speeds. The most atmospheric moment was the pit stops. They had only a few seconds to change their tires, and even a small delay could cost the whole race. It also showed the importance of teamwork, not only in the decisions of the drivers. It taught me about success and the influence of focus and teamwork. Not to be too formal, I'm saying it's not only about speed; it's about strategy and staying calm under pressure.
