The end is here, and that is my last Formula 1 article. As I am writing this I am watching the Sprint in China from my living room. In case you are wondering, my husband did end up winning. It is such a sad time because I don’t know who will live on my legacy and write a new F1 article each month. In honor of it being farewell to these amazing stories, let’s take a trip down memory lane and look back at all of the amazing memories that F1 has given me.
May 11, 2023:
This was the very first time I had ever seen or even heard of F1. My friend was really into it and had decided to show me what all the drivers looked like so that I could rate them. I honestly thought that a lot of them were really attractive, but I never actually thought anything of it. The only positive thing that came from that was that I had followed Max Verstappen (my husband) on Instagram and I was able to see what the F1 life was actually like.

Random Day in June:
I honestly can’t remember what day it was, but it was probably sometime from mid to late June. I was in Mexico and I was in my pj’s watching TV from the couch. The channel was on some random show but I wasn’t paying attention. I decided to look up and I saw the podium for one of the races, and my husband had won. I only remember second place because it was Charles Leclerc, and that was my friend’s favorite driver. I remember following the F1 account on Instagram as well, and from then on I started to get F1 TikToks.

July 27-30, 2023:
This is the day that I downloaded the F1 app, and I can say that it was one of the best decisions ever. I downloaded it because I wanted to see when the next few races were going to be so that I could try and watch them. Little did I know that July 28th to the 30th was going to be the last race week since they were going on summer break. The 28th was my birthday, and the whole day I was checking the app for any updates. It was the first and second free practice sessions of the weekend so I kept checking to see what the drivers were like and how they were doing. I kept doing that the whole weekend until the 30th. That was the actual race and I didn’t know where I could watch it. I finally figured out that some races were on Hulu, so I was eating my breakfast while watching the last 15 minutes of the race. I remember that as I was finishing my cereal, I saw Max cross the finish line for the first time ever.

Literally any time after that:
I have watched multiple races, sprints, free practices, and qualifyings. Every time I still have a sense of excitement because I truly do not know what is going to happen to them. You would not believe the number of times I had thought that someone else was going to win a race or that Logan Sargeant (one of my other husbands) was going to score points. I was there for a lot of important things in F1 history. For example, Max’s first DNF in 2 years at the same circuit where he had DNF’d the last time. I have seen a lot of the sport, but the one thing that I will always remember is going to be the very first time that I saw what the drivers looked like, because that is what inspired me to start watching Formula 1.

What’s Next:
I honestly don’t know what’s going to happen next as the years and months go on. What I can do for you guys is include all of my predictions for what I think is going to happen:
