The Rise of a Champion: Sophia Floersch's Journey in FIA Formula 3 - Spa 2023

[@LunnarisLP]

I think what many people need to recognize as well is that Sophia is the only driver in their teams lineup to bring in points and consistently outperforms her teammates. While F3 cars are mostly equal when it comes to performance there are still top teams and bottom teams for multiple reasons, obviously some higher up teams just reach out for the talented drivers and are feeder teams for big F1 teams like Ferrari, RB, Merc and Alpine, and on the other hand they just have better teams, better analysis, better chances to do simulator training and so on. With PHM basically being a super fresh team I think expectations were pretty low, no matter their driver lineup. So yeah congratulations for points. I think hardly anyone thought you could do it this year already with this team. Even I who followed you for years and knows you have true talent and are super hard working had a hard time seeing you actually bring in points and not just 1 or 2 but a 7th place finish. I started to get my hopes higher after the points that got taken from you after the race and your recent results where you showed huge improvements, but yeah even I didn't expect it, so it's really amazing. I really hope you can add another strong season and maybe we actually will see a woman in f1 in the future. I heard Audi isn't set on their driver Lineup for 2026 yet :'D Obviously still a long way and lots of superlicense points to earn, but hey we should be aiming as high as we can all the time.

so much knowledge combined here 👍🏻

[@bentandre5524]

yes i am sure he thinks he is her manager@@chrisvaleske

[@voongnz]

It would be interesting to see what she could do in a Prema.

[@KL50450]

@@bentandre5524what an unfriendly contribution… I liked what he had to say and appreciate the time he took to write all that down.

[@LunnarisLP]

​@@bentandre5524 I know many people like you seem to prefer comment that consist of at most 10 words, but since I follow Sophia for a long time and was rooting for her to get such great results every race weekend I felt like writing a bit more than just "congratz good job". Clearly many people appreciate the input, I wonder why you get so triggered by someone making a longer and maybe more insightful comment to get some information to the fellow viewers. But clearly that's a you problem, so why not keep your negativity to yourself if you have nothing to add to the community.

[@VonBlade]

Been eagerly awaiting this one, having got up at stupid o'clock to watch them live. LFG.

[@christophbarra1841]

Dang I wish Sophia would get into F1 one day. I'd watch the hell out of that.

[@alexandreburban7218]

Well done! In the last videos you seemed so disappointed not to get the results you wanted. This is a great demonstration of perseverance. Congratulations to you and to the team :D

[@Valhall2070]

Hated rain when I was road racing, was like driving on ice, with slicks. Good luck with your drive Sophia Congratulations on your first F-3 points Cheers from Norway 😊

[@philipvanderveen4256]

Good video again This was so amazing to watch after that incredible race❤

[@Wispelaar]

Congrats with the very well deserved points. You are very consistent and that pays off in the end!

[@_chipin]

Sophia making history lets go!! I have been waiting for this video. My voice has now returned after l was screaming at my tv the whole race. Great drive well done and congratulations for being the first lady racer to score points in an f3 race. Enjoy the beach and book well deserved ⛳

[@shutu6338]

Haven`t had so much excitement for a race since F1 2021 Finale, You were Amazing

[@marcush.1901]

This was plain awesome. So nice to see the smiles on the crews faces, they realise it's for real, points in the bag, first points for PHM as a team, first woman to score in FiaF3. Congrats!respect.And a beautiful video covering the weekend.... I think Sophia's social media presence is plain awesome stuff.

[@imfrcd]

[@patrickh.3035]

Braaavvvoo 🎉 Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum tollen Ergebnis ! Top Leistung ! Verfolge seit längerem auch die F3 Rennen und es ist schön zu sehen, dass wenn alles passt du auch vorne in den Top 10 fahren kannst. Drücke dir die Daumen dass es in die richtige Richtung vorwärts geht 👍

[@fastcargtv6]

Congratulations! Well deserved points! And good to see you happy! You were quite tense in Hungary which was quite understandable just one week after your sudden loss of points at Red Bull Ring. Now you've made the breakthrough, I hope from now on you will score even more points much easily!

[@alexleafa]

So happy to see this, congrats!

Most remarkable thing about Sophia, is that she still around after the crash at Macau.

[@Argosh]

Awesome! You're shaping up to be the Queen of Rain! :D

[@19megamustaine85]

Why ? As of 2024 she is just 27th in formula 3 with zero points, overhyped girl😂 !

[@opsman1]

Congratulations, Sophia! Enjoy the holiday.

[@HouseUncle]

Allein schon wegen den Aufstehzeiten muss die Formel 1 doch das große Ziel sein 😂

[@andyepg]

She puts her name on history. She was against W Series and now she is proving that she can compete against the men. Just put het in a champion car and she will be champion.

[@Widestone001]

Gratuliere! 😀

[@DugTheDog]

[@marcokrueger3399]

Das muss die Aachener Energie gewesen sein! :D Herzlichen Glückwunsch, tolle Leistung!

[@matthewbaynham6286]

Congratulations. I hope you get many more points. It's good to get points when driving in motor racing, it's not so good to get points when driving normally on the road, because it means the police are that liitle bit closer to taking away your driving license. But motor racing points are different they are good.

[@MarvinWinter-e6h]

👍 gratulation weiter so Sophia 🇩🇪

[@vegaandthesea7872]

Absolutely fantastic weekend on track for you, the overtaker showed some deeds again ⭐ I wish your positive spiral for performances will accelerate even more to make you teach your true standards 🌞

[@olivante9513]

Nur noch 55 WMPunkte und du bekommst mit P10 einen Punkt für deine Superlizenz. Damit hast du dann wie viele von den 40 die du für die F1 brauchst?

[@LUIZPETROPOLIS1]

[@user-EarthsSavingGrace7969]

I was told to say this. Idk why because I already proposed 💍👑. But here goes. Because I thought 💭 my intentions were clear. Cept I don't want you for a lifetime until death do us part. Nope. I want you forever and ever and ever because I'm heaven sealed and my eternity has already started so why shouldn't yours too? 😘😘 You are royal. I'm royal. Our children would be royal. God is good. Jesus is the King 👑 of Kings. The Holy Spirit though technically a possession is also real, truth, and life. I love 💕 you. Hope you kick ass this year in Formula #ONE 👏 👏 👏 #SPAK 👑

[@robdotcom71]

Would love to see you in a competitive F1 car.... :)

[@nicvlaeminck]

F3, seriously, just let these guys shoot at your races. She’s part of it. It hurts that they have to keep talking about races instead of showing it in some way because of these absurd rights issues. Keep going strong Sophia. Hopefully a more performant car these next months, you’re doing a good job considering everything…
