Jose Carlos de Celis

Shortly after I was born, I wanted to be a football player. I imagine like so many others. Soon after, a childhood friend told me to watch car races, that there was a very good German who had just signed with Ferrari. Growing up (figuratively speaking) in a family and an environment where following any motorsport competition was to be the black sheep, I decided to be that, listening to that friend to whom I am still grateful. Until today. Along the way, I had to convince my friends that a sport where "the same one always wins" was wonderful. And, as I didn't have enough talent to play in the First Division or to drive in Monza, I studied journalism.

My first steps in this beautiful and mistreated profession were always related to football: narrating matches, writing chronicles, writing news, and in some places (kind regards, I love you) they even allowed me to write opinion articles. Until I moved to Formula 1, hand in hand with TheF1.com (currently CarandDriver). Then I joined the Arpem.com team, where I covered five championships (from 2009 to 2013), and during 2010 I combined it with the blog 'Pole Position', from Onda Cero, which allowed me to travel to Woking and Silverstone and meet and be a co-driver of a certain Mika Hakkinen, my first idol. Shortly after the start of the 2014 season, I got the opportunity to join the Motor.es team, and although that year I was also a development driver (or something like that) for Sphera Sports, in 2015 I only race here. My aspiration in the world of journalism is the same as in the rest of my life: to learn, grow, and give everything I have. I don't know how not to give everything for my passions. Nor do I want to know.
