This week, Ibrahim is doing a training camp with us. So we prepare vast different exercises for him to do with the team. 

First thing on the first day he got here, he did a factory tour. He got a chance to see how the factory operates and everything that is related to F1.

We also had Ibrahim do a bit of racecraft practice, which is also very important for racing on esports.

And to finalize everything, we are at the F1 drive today for him to apply some of his knowledge of sim racing into karting.

It's really important that Aramco, our title sponsor, is creating initiatives like this that inspire the next generation of sim racers.

First of all, a lot of amazing things happened this week. Especially the karting and the wonderful Silverstone Museum, which has a historical character reflecting the track and the cars that marked different eras in the circuit’s history.

I have learned a lot, learning from the best of Aston Martin Aramco Formula OneTm Team esports drivers: how to use the brakes, how to enter corners, how to properly control the racing line, when to brake, and how to balance between the two.

As part of our efforts, we continue to empower the youth and foster their drive for knowledge aiming to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders.
