About

Hi! I'm Mikaela, the face behind She Loves F1.

Thanks to my dad, I grew up around motorsport – that is, Nascar and IndyCar. As an American, I had no idea that Formula One existed until, as I like to think, fate stepped in.

In 2011, I went on a date with a friend of a friend who took me to see Senna in theaters. A Brazilian himself, he was understandably emotional through the documentary. I remember thinking I needed to find out more about a sport that was capable of moving a man to admirable tears on a first date. So, I tuned in… and, well, I guess I never really stopped.

Sadly, I didn’t have any friends who knew of the sport as this was well before the era of Drive to Survive. It was (and – sadly – still is) very much of a “men’s sport,” which subconsciously affected me wanting to talk about it more openly.

After returning from the United States Grand Prix in October 2021, I was more frustrated than ever before. From the moment I stepped off the plane until the moment I returned home, I had to constantly “prove” myself as a fan. Surely, as a woman, I was only there because the drivers are so good looking.
So, I decided to make a TikTok account in hopes of creating a Formula One fan community where ALL fans – old, new, he’s, she’s, and they’s – would feel welcomed and empowered to celebrate the greatest sport in the world. I didn’t know what to expect, but it turns out I was far from alone.
She Loves F1 is a space where everyone is welcome. A community of like-minded individuals that won’t undermine or ridicule you if you think someone is good-looking. Where you’re empowered to be fascinated by the ever-changing innovation and technology of Formula 1. A community where it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been watching or why you’re watching. A place where respect and kindness are always a must.

Think of this corner of the interwebs as your very niche, one-stop shop for affordable AND cute astrology, educational content that isn’t boring AF, and more.

I’m so happy you’re here!
Mikaela
