I get it, man. I've watched from the pit wall myself — from corner entry to exit, that world lives right next to fear. Coming from a nine-time champ, not pushing his own kid toward it is the most honest thing he could say. Don't be a racer, but do a sport — that's about as much distance as a father can put between them.

Giulietta was born in 2022 so she's like 4 — a bit early to be worrying about this lol

That's the kind of honesty you only get from someone who knows the risk firsthand.

Been following him since '94, and yeah, this sounds exactly like him.

But 'sport is fine' quietly gets me. That's a soft dad move.
