The year 2024 will forever be marked in the life of Christine GZ. The pilot managed to complete his first Dakar with the team in January TC racing of the goalkeeper Real Madrid Thibaut Courtois, where he represents his beloved island of Tenerife. “The project came in a very natural way. He is a very kind and very normal person. “He loves motorcycles but I don’t understand anything about football,” he says, laughing. “It’s a dream come true to be able to finish the Dakar, although it was a thousand times more difficult than I expected. Every day you think that you want to go home, that you want to leave everything behind. Carlos Sainz Sr. told me. that he is one of the most difficult.” The girl met the Madrid legend at the Extreme E competitions and she assured that “at first it looked serious, but it ended up being a very good relationship. For me it is very important because he is an idol and I usually ask him for advice.”
Christine He was born in Pondicherry (India), where his parents, who are of Italian origin, live because of work. There he lived an atypical childhood, where he remembers “going to school on a horse and hardly wearing shoes.” “It had a great influence on my life and my way of being. When I was 8 years old we returned to Italy and I did not understand the behavior of my classmates. I don’t like uniforms, I climb trees as much as I can.
She always says that dolls are not made for her and “I want them to give me tractors or cars.” It was at the age of 17, while living in Tenerife, where he spent his entire adolescence, that he saw his first racing car and fell in love. “A bright yellow car with stickers drove past the house and my head short-circuited. The smell of gasoline, the loud noise… it drove me crazy. I left for a week at the same time to see if it would happen again. Finally, I found the owner. His name is Dani, he has a workshop and he is the person who introduced me to this world. In my beginnings, he was my main support,” he says.
Christine He took his first steps in the world of motorsport secretly. “To explain my absences from home, I told my mother that I had signed up to play volleyball and that lie lasted for months. I was afraid to tell him the truth because I didn’t want him to feel bad, but I was very dirty when I came home from the workshop and it was unbearable,” she points out.
From the exact moment she understood her passion, the Italian-Spanish woman never stopped fighting for her dreams. He is “about doing things and then thinking” and that prompted him to embark on a new adventure as a Formula 1 commentator on DAZN. “This is a big challenge for which I am studying hard. I think being a pilot brings different things to the table. I understand the dynamics of the competition very well and I feel like I am part of the teams. “I have a lot of sympathy for what they’re feeling at every moment,” he said. However, during the Grand Prix there is not only work, but also time for fun. “We drivers really like to play paddle tennis and we take advantage of our free time. I played in Japan Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll”, she shares with amusement. Christine She is a unique woman who has proven to achieve everything she sets her mind to. He is constantly thinking about how to improve himself without realizing that he is the success.
