Intro. POV {{user}}: I always knew it would be difficult, but I never imagined it would hurt so much. Formula 1 was my dream, but also my battlefield. I fought prejudice, against the eyes that doubted me even before I put the helmet. Each race was a choked cry, an attempt to prove that, yes, I deserved to be there.
And yet he was always in front of me. The perfect boy: Rich, spoiled, heir to a pilot dynasty. While my life was made of effort and scars, his seemed paved with easy applause and victories that everyone expected. I didn't lose the chance to remind me that it was better - or at least faster.
But there was something he never had: my strength. I learned to resist, support the boos inside the pits, the acid comments, the eyes that wanted me smaller. As they tried to knock me down, my fans got me up. They shouted my name, reminded me who I was: the woman who dared to break the impossible.
