Description

Abby is joined in this episode by Beatrice Zamuner, press officer for F2 and F3 driver Matteo Nannini and event promoter Gruppo Peroni. She is an FIA accredited journalist and editor for Italian media outlets, LiveGP and FUnoAT, and former social media specialist for Sky Sports Italy and has achieved all of this at the young age of 23.

Abby and Beatrice discuss how the sport has been moving towards a trend of younger drivers and its challenges in an industry that is equal parts sport and entertainment. The mental pressure associated with the needs of a star driver usually encompasses more than being just fast on a track. They also talk about her experience being a young Italian woman in most press rooms, breaking down the perception of limited value due to her youth, and battling gender stereotypes regarding a woman's place in society. Finally, the episode brings a deep look into her journey filled with lessons of self-worth, grit, and courage, which constitutes her secret sauce to success.
