she trains hard every day. in june twenty eighth seem the season had just begun. it's with them you are three is very demanding you drive for half an hour you're exposed to intense full says you have to be fit to push this car to its limits i trained to do that but the thing is. it's quite a few need strong legs to hit the brakes with one hundred twenty kilos on curves the neck muscles play a major part because of the g. forces in the kurds and when braking. in motor sports women and men are in direct competition with the pro you have to train more than the man but if we want we can do it as well. when she gets into her mother's car in munich

sofia has to ride shotgun she's not allowed to take the wheel on city streets yet even though she's been driving since she was four years old. i have confidence i know sophia can do it but many factors are involved someone else could run into her but today nothing that bad has happened to sophia. nothing where i'd say oh my god you're not getting into a car any more it's the business it is. it was on a pint of a flourish is no stranger to this kind of anxiety her husband sophia's father used to be active in motor sports. neuberger september twenty eighth it was a fierce first season in formula three she was just seventeen she missed the first days of training in winter because she had to study for her final high school exams she started in the series ten weeks later. she had to make up for lost time it was

the first time sophia had taken the new car out in the rain. first came the qualifiers the driver completing the fastest lap would start the next day's race on in front. she was number eighteen in the starting grid for the first of the weekend's three races. the us so it was so tight i've never been that close to the others but we made it we're going to root. for something. in the box the team give the car the finishing touches before the race. meanwhile sofia has time for p.r. appearances none of her male formula three competitors have a bad word to say about her not publicly anyway one of you probably. know that some

men ask why you in this sport you'll never make it not because your badge but because women never do that when you hear the things i heard at age nine and ten it's hard because you start thinking that way and it hurts when you. but you grow and build your self-confidence. which is very important in this sport. because you have to fight your way through against the men and keep your head held high woman hope. the fear is one of the only women driving in formula three and her team is the only one with a female mechanic shop unfunded could drive the trucks and look after the tires she used to drive in the races herself. you have to compete you have to prove yourself each time you have to do a step. it was not like. the spotlights were on you know but

they were criticizing you if you made one mistake it was. a little mistake they made a big mistake or major mistake and everybody was just talking bad about you. even before the race starts so he is giving it her full concentration. her mother and sister are in the sands to cheer her on. sophia gets off to a good start. the first crash and sophia can pass or you. go all over europe who. do well. being in the top ten under some points. but then on the fourth lap a technical failure the race is as good as over for sophia. and so far. the disappointment is overwhelming for team boss gets

when i most want to as well. as with most of his motorsports it has to hurt now and then but i hope that's all for now. another day another opportunity she has to make it this time. racing is not only about fame and points but also about money lots of it for one formula three season a driver has to have a budget of some one million euros most of it comes from sponsors and if that's not enough from parents but the sponsors want their money's worth. sophia started at the back of the grid over took one position after the next but she got too aggressive while passing and nearly caused a collision. her father alex followed the race from the boks he watched the

stewards impose a drive through penalty making her lose almost twenty seconds sophia fell back to last place and lost her chance for a good outcome but she kept trying just the same. i think this guy. should just. listen to this. afterwards she showed no trace of frustration once behind the others sophia could open up she drove one of the fastest laps to her team it was hard proof that in terms of ability sophia can keep up with the best. and they've done that everybody was happy that i was faster than my teammates but still wasn't placed but it's the first shia. he wasn't even the steward said i should hold onto my aggressiveness like they didn't know women could be so aggressive i thought yes. we had

a good weekend even if there was bad luck but that's part of it. two weeks later it was time for the next race i'm. back in munich sofia finally had some time to get together with friends who are going to talk even once i feel was in school she devoted almost every free minute to racing now that she's graduated she can get serious. if i haven't been able to accept many birthday party invitations because i've always been on the road somewhere in europe. or i wanted to see these so that movie and it hurts when i can't. but then i do this sport because i'm having fun so i have to make sacrifices i inspect the scott that's what. the highlight of the season was the macau grand prix in november twenty eighth that weekend sophia hope to prove that she could lead the field. everything went well until the decisive race on sunday

a crash no fault of her own slammed her into a wall at two hundred seventy kilometers an hour. sophia came out with two broken vertebrae and bone splinters in her spinal cord she had to be operated on in the car. four weeks later she had her first training eight weeks later she started getting her neck muscles back into shape. in february twenty nine hundred four months after the accident sophia was back on the track by then she was world famous with over two hundred thousand followers on instagram and television appearances her team rented a racetrack in monza for some test it was sophia's first time at the wheel since the crash. now to this is a set of course now i'm that girl with the crash this year i want to change that

all be the go with the crashing but also the success. you know dems and anyone who's known me long enough knows i won't let something like that get me down make me think about quitting that's why my mum's never said anything. of course she'll be worried now i'll have to discuss it with her if i go back to macau and i definitely want to but she trusts me and it can hardly get worse. that accident was the worst that's happened and still i'm back here driving one hundred sixty. one of. the final preparations. she had specialist check or concentration and reaction times everything was back to normal. and. sophia's car was totalled in macau

her team had to build a new one. over two way radio the race engineers could hear how emotional sophia was. actually at the moment everything looks pretty ok physically she's ok as he's really happy to be driving in the car again smiling and laughing and really enjoy. the most important question physically everything ok.

he was how was it. cool were really also want to be back in the driver's seat. me goosebumps i've never had a sensation like that it's so much fun it's great i'm happy. that's what i've been training so hard for these hundred days. to come home with the old. job. so feel to be starting the new season.
