Hey, I’m Daniela – Formula 1 fan, and the person behind Behind the Visor.

I created this space because I always felt there was something missing from the way people talk about F1. The headlines cover who won, who crashed, and what team boss said what. But what about the emotions? The tension before lights out? The heartbreak when your favorite driver retires on lap one? Or that quiet satisfaction when a risky strategy actually works?

This site is my way of showing what Formula 1 feels like.

You’ll find honest race reactions, Fantasy strategies, guides for new fans, and reflections on what it’s like to support teams like Ferrari, McLaren, and Williams, especially when it hurts. I also share what it’s like to attend races in person, from the buzz at the track to the little moments you never forget.

If you’re the kind of fan who rewatches pitstop replays, gets emotional over radio messages, and secretly dreams of working in F1 someday, then you’re in the right place.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you’ll stay for a lap or two.
