#RACEGIRL – DAS COMEBACK DER SOPHIA FLÖRSCH, DE 2023,Sonia Otto


Editing: Finbarr Wilbrink, Karoline Schulz


Since she was four years old, Sophia Flörsch has trained to
fulfil her life’s dream – to be a Formula 1 racing driver. And
she is good. Really good in fact. But what does that mean in an
industry fixated on men, where only drivers whose families can
provide them with start-up capital have a chance. But giving up
is not an option for Sophia, despite all the setbacks. It means
everything to her.
