As the thunderous symphony of 1,000-horsepower hybrid power units reverberates through the undulating hills of the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas, I, Yenis Monterrey, command the epicenter of Formula 1‘s unrelenting heartbeat. It’s October 2025, and as a trailblazing F1 journalist long immersed in the shadows of the paddock crafting incisive analyses and exclusive narratives behind the scenes for global outlets I now step decisively into the light as a digital creator journalist. Covering the United States Grand Prix is not merely reportage; it is my mastery of its raw velocity, lap by unforgiving lap, channeling a lifetime’s devotion to the precision-engineered marvels and opulent ethos that define this pinnacle of motorsport, where Max Verstappen claimed a commanding victory on Sun, Oct 19 at the Circuit Of The Americas.
The experience begins in the press room, a hive of focused energy where journalists from around the globe huddle over laptops, dissecting telemetry data and driver quotes in real-time. It’s here that the fast-paced nature of F1 truly reveals itself, deadlines loom like pit stops, and every second counts. From there, I venture into the paddock, that exclusive inner sanctum where teams orchestrate their high-stakes ballet. The air buzzes with the scent of rubber and fuel, conversations in a dozen languages overlapping as engineers fine-tune setups and drivers prepare for the grid. During the races themselves, the adrenaline surges; standing trackside, I feel the ground tremble under the force of 1,000 horsepower machines hurtling past at over 200 mph. It’s a sensory overload: the scream of engines, the blur of liveries, the collective gasp of the crowd as overtakes unfold that reminds me why F1 isn’t just a sport; it’s a symphony of human ingenuity and daring.
The interview process is equally exhilarating, yet demands precision in this whirlwind environment. Securing time with drivers, team principals, or engineers often means navigating a tightly scheduled media scrum, where questions must be sharp, insightful, and timed perfectly amid the chaos. I’ve honed my skills over years of probing into race strategies, technical innovations, and personal stories, always aiming to uncover the narratives that humanize these modern gladiators. In F1‘s relentless pace, adaptability is key one moment you’re chasing a post-qualifying soundbite from Max Verstappen, the next analyzing a controversial stewards’ decision that could reshape the championship standings.
Since 2019, the F1 landscape in the US has transformed dramatically, fueled by the Netflix series “Drive to Survive,” which catapulted the sport into mainstream consciousness. This momentum was further amplified in 2025 with the release of the blockbuster film “F1,” starring Brad Pitt as a veteran driver returning to the grid and produced by Lewis Hamilton, which blended Hollywood drama with authentic on-track footage, reshaping public perceptions of the sport as a high-stakes blend of athleticism, technology, and glamour, while drawing record-breaking audiences and inspiring a new wave of enthusiasts. Attendance has skyrocketed, with sell-out crowds and a surge in American fans embracing the global allure. We’ve seen the addition of the Miami Grand Prix in 2022 and the Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2023, turning the US into a multi-race powerhouse. These events have infused F1 with a distinctly American flair glitzy entertainment, celebrity sightings, and innovative fan experiences that complement the traditional intensity of Austin. As someone deeply embedded in this evolution, I’m thrilled to expand my coverage to these venues. I’m particularly looking forward to immersing myself in the vibrant energy of Miami’s beachside circuit, the neon-lit spectacle of Vegas under the stars, and the passionate atmosphere of the Mexico City Grand Prix, where the crowd’s fervor rivals any in the world. With my fluency in Spanish, English, and Italian, I see endless opportunities to bridge cultural divides, conducting interviews in drivers’ native tongues and delivering nuanced insights to diverse audiences.
Beyond journalism, as many of you know, I’m a lifestyle influencer but now I want to evolve into a digital creator journalist for motorsport. In a world where F1 is rapidly changing embracing sustainability with hybrid power units, expanding digital engagement, and attracting a younger demographic I’m eager to evolve my craft across social media channels. I have used pseudonyms in the past and occasionally my real name, Yenis Monterrey, but now I’m fully stepping forward. People are more visual these days, craving immersive content that goes beyond text, and I plan to deliver just that: stunning visuals from the pit lane, live reactions during sessions, and stories that capture the lifestyle enthusiasts’ dream sharing my passion for F1 wardrobe and luxurious brands that define the paddock elegance. The influencer world is undeniably saturated, but my drive stems from authenticity a genuine passion for F1 that began in my childhood, wide-eyed at the sight of Ferrari’s scarlet machines and the elegance of the Monaco lifestyle. It’s this sincerity that the algorithm rewards, as evidenced by my recent Instagram post on October 20, 2025, where I shared for the first time publicly glimpses of my past work in F1, including exclusive parties and behind-the-scenes moments I’d kept private until now. That post exploded, surpassing even those with millions of views, proving that real passion cuts through the noise.
For years, I operated as a writer behind the scenes, crafting articles and analyses without stepping into the spotlight. But now, it’s time for change. I’m ready to show my face, to claim a more visible role in the US F1 scene and beyond, expanding internationally to other latitudes where my multilingual expertise can shine. As a knowledgeable journalist, my contributions rooted in deep technical understanding, storytelling prowess, and a digital creator’s eye for engagement can make a real difference, inspiring new fans and fostering a more inclusive motorsport community. I want to post the raw, unfiltered work behind the scenes: the late-night strategy sessions, the emotional highs of podium celebrations, the gritty realities of a team’s garage. In doing so, I aim to share the love and passion that has defined my life, turning casual viewers into lifelong enthusiasts. As a digital creator, I want to be involved in all the motorsport experiences from Austin’s USGP to IMSA races at COTA, NASCAR weekends, and emerging series capturing the full spectrum of speed and storytelling that defines our world.
As the echoes of Max Verstappen’s triumphant roar at the 2025 United States Grand Prix still linger in the Texas air, anticipation builds for the next chapter at the Circuit of the Americas. Mark your calendars for October 23-25, 2026, when the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix returns to Austin, TX, promising another electrifying weekend of high-octane racing, strategic brilliance, and Texas-sized spectacle.
