Sophia Flörsch: “There were difficult days, I don’t want to deny that”

If a woman can make it into Formula 1, then Sophia Flörsch. It would be a triumph against much odds.

Sophia Flörsch, which journalist question can you no longer hear?
“Sophia, how is it being a woman in motorsport?” I never liked them.

Tired of being the feminist icon many want you to be?
I don’t see myself that way, more as a big sister. I want to show the girls that the world is opening up to women right now. That the role models are no longer so narrow. You can have long blond hair, play with barbies and still go karting. At the time, I didn’t have a female role model in motorsport that I could have emulated. My hero was Michael Schumacher, I was like many Germans there. When Michael drove, I got up at night to watch the broadcast.
