There’s a moment — just before the lights go out — where the entire world holds its breath.
The engines are roaring.
The crowd is screaming.
The cars are ready.
And for one second... nothing.
Then boom. It begins.
The chaos. The speed. The precision. The heartbreak. The strategy. The drama.
All of it, all at once.
That moment is what made me fall in love with Formula 1 — and that love is what brought Paddock Talks to life.
I’m not an expert. I don’t work in motorsport. I don’t sit in press rooms or have insider access (though that would be iconic).
I’m just a girl from Belgium who watches every race weekend like it’s sacred, follows the drivers like it’s a second job, and has way too many thoughts and opinions to keep to herself.
So I started writing.
What began as random notes after races — rants, reactions, favourite moments, frustrations — slowly turned into something more:
a space. A voice. A blog.
Paddock Talks isn’t here to break news or explain engine modes.
It’s here to bring Formula 1 to life from a fan’s perspective. A little messy, a little emotional, a lot passionate.
Because F1 isn’t just a sport. It’s a world.
A world full of rivalries and friendships, tears and champagne, speed and silence.
On this blog, you’ll find race opinions (even when they’re unpopular), beginner-friendly explainers, paddock gossip, fashion moments, memes, social media chaos, and everything else that makes this sport so addicting.
This is a space for the fans who feel everything.
For the girls who get called “fangirls” like it’s a bad thing.
For the people who care about tyre strategy and who showed up together at the paddock this week.
For those who love the sport with their whole heart, even when it breaks them.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or still trying to figure out who that curly-haired guy in the McLaren is — welcome.
This blog is for you.
Thank you for being here.
This is just the beginning.
Let’s talk.
