Our high school F1 club meets for the very first time on November 11, 2023 in Ms. Shekarchi’s classroom, and the excitement in the air is palpable. We gather around a projector that streams the latest Grand Prix footage, analyzing every corner and chicane. A few of us already have favorite teams—waving their caps or wearing the colors with pride—while others are watching F1 for the very first time.
During these meetings, we immerse ourselves in the thrill of competitive racing. We discuss the dramas unfolding on the track, debate tire strategies, and compare driver lineups. Each clip we watch sparks a fresh round of conversation—sometimes serious, sometimes playful—yet always grounded in our shared love of motorsport.
Ms. Shekarchi’s room feels like a mini grandstand. Students from different grades, and with varying levels of F1 knowledge, come together to celebrate the world’s fastest sport. By the end of each session, it’s clear that the roar of engines and the energy of last-lap battles unite us in a way no other lunchtime activity can.
As we look forward to future meetings, our hope is simple: to create a space where anyone—even the newest fan—can learn, laugh, and connect over the astonishing spectacle that is Formula 1. Whether you’re cheering on a top team or just curious about the buzz, you’re welcome to join the conversation. Together, we keep the spirit of racing alive in our little corner of campus.
