Chloe Chong started karting on the same track as Lewis Hamilton - now she's at the same F1 race weekend.
When Chloe Chong thinks back to her childhood, her six-year-old self would never have dared to dream she would be where she is now.
And this weekend for their season finale, Chloe will be sharing the race weekend with her hero Sir Lewis Hamilton. "I'm really grateful for everything he's done not only to help women in F1, but also to help diverse ethnicities come into sports in general."Chloe says the memories start "flooding back" when she's back on the track.
She remembers "always wanting to go into a car", and that eventually happened when she "begged and begged my parents". "So it was an automatic yes for me to start at the same place as one of my heroes. And I think that also ignited more passion in me for the sport."And it's not just Chloe and Hamilton who learnt the ropes at Buckmore Park Kart Circuit.
"I think it causes a lot more analysis. You've got to be more communicative with your engineer, with your team.
