00:10Do I need to look to your camera?
00:12Oh, wait me.
00:12Okay, okay.
00:14Hello.
00:17My name is Esmee Kosterman, I'm 20 years old.
00:20I'm racing for LEGO Racing by MP Motorsports.
00:23My name is Jade Jacquet, I'm 16 years old.
00:25I'm racing for the Williams F1 Team Driver Academy.
00:28Hi, I'm Matilda Parts, I'm 17 years old and I drive for Aston Martin Aramco at F1 Team.
00:37My name is Ella Stephens, I'm 19 years old and I'm racing for McLaren Oxygon.
00:43My name is Ava Dofferson, I am 17 years old.
00:46I am racing for American Express operated by Hitec.
00:50I started karting when I was 6 years old and I've pretty much worked through every karting category all the
00:55way up to KZ.
00:57No one really understands how hard it is to be in something like this.
01:02This is more than just driving, it's our chance to prove ourselves to the world.
01:07You need to maximise everything, you need to be on your game.
01:10And the thing is, it's not just me who's going to be on my game, everyone is.
01:13It's the beginning of hopefully something beautiful that somebody is driving in a few years F1.
01:18My driving style is quite smooth.
01:21It can be aggressive.
01:22As soon as my helmet is on and I'm ready to go, that's it.
01:25My biggest strength?
01:26I'm really calm and relaxed under pressure.
01:29I don't know, I'm just chill.
01:31I'm just mellow.
01:32That's who I am.
01:33My nickname is The Hammer.
01:35The Hammer?
01:36Yes.
01:37Because I really like to eat crabs and you need to open the shell with a hammer and it kind
01:43of fit it everywhere.
01:44Because also on track, I'm a bit like a hammer.
01:47I'm hard, I go forward, I'm quite straight.
01:50In France, my friends call me Jadou or Gigi.
01:54What they don't know about me is, maybe you can see it, but every race I do my nails matching
01:59with the car.
02:02My main goal this season is to learn and to progress during the season to win next year the championship.
02:15My name is Lisa Billard, I'm 16 years old and I'm driving for Gadarade.
02:20My name is Megan Bruce, I'm 21 and I drive for Tag Heuer with Campus Racing.
02:25My name is Kaylee Countryman, I'm 16 years old and I drive for TTR Haas F1.
02:30My driving style, three words.
02:34A missing one.
02:35Do you have any suggestions?
02:37Probably smooth, but sometimes aggressive.
02:43And another word, fast.
02:46Busy, smart and fast.
02:49I'm someone who like to joke and smile every time, but when I put the helmet on, I'm just a
02:58driver who wants to be the best.
03:01One thing fans should know about me is that...
03:04I started skiing when I was three, so instead of like everyone starting karting, I was doing skiing from like
03:11three years old, I don't know, four times a year.
03:14I'm a hard worker and won't give up over something small.
03:18I did a tiny bit of ski racing and I also got my qualification as a ski instructor.
03:27Where should I look? Right, did you? Perfect.
03:30My name is Rachel Robertson, I am 18 years old and I race for Puma under high tech.
03:38My name is Nathalie Granada, I am 18 years old and I'm driving for the Sephora car from Bike Prema.
03:45My name is Peyton Westcott, I am 16 years old and I'm driving for Mercedes.
03:49Fans don't know about me.
03:50Black belt in Taekwondo, haven't been home in a while though, so I don't get to practice as much.
03:54Well, I have a twin brother who I started racing with and all our racing up until last year, we
04:01did together, we're always in the same team, fighting together, always managed to find each other on track, so yeah,
04:07that's a fun fact.
04:08I would describe my driving style as aggressive, but firm. I'm not going to bully anyone out of the way,
04:15but I'm going to make them think that they're not going to get an inch extra room.
04:19I was always called Nata, which is short for Natalia, in Spanish it means whip, whip cream.
04:26Some people names me like Dorian, like pocket pocket, because I'm a very small person.
04:31We have seen in the past few years that the championship is tight, shows cases quite well how the racing
04:38will go on track this year.
04:40I feel like the field is really close this year. It's all a really big learning experience, I think it
04:44will be really fun.
04:45To grow as a driver, as an athlete, but also as a person.
04:49I think every rookie's goal is probably to be the highest rookie and get a podium or a win.
04:55I'm looking for...
