Summary

While down at Rouler Live, Manon and Emma took the opportunity to invite Ella Lloyd in for a chat. Ella is one of the rising stars of the F1 Academy, racing for McLaren, and the girls got the inside scoop on what it’s really like to be a young woman racing at the top level of motorsport. Ella shared her unorthodox journey from getting started late in motorsport to now chasing some huge dreams, compared her daily training regime with Emma's, and educated the girls on the various different single seater disciplines. Emma didn't even try to hide her excitement as a lifelong F1 fan, fangirling over Ella while learning all the behind-the-scenes secrets of women’s racing! And, of course, Ella's Welsh - so she fit right in! You can follow her on Instagram @ella_lloyd05. Watts Occurring Femmes is brought to you by Rouvy, and hosted by Pinarello.
