Since corona, I have picked up a new hobby. No, I wasn't like all of the Netherlands going for walks: I watched Formula 1TM. Not entirely surprising, the first thing that attracted me was Verstappen's success, but I also wanted to understand the sport a bit more. Because honestly: what could be so fun about a few cars that just happen to go very fast? Well, I was wrong about that. What a cool and exciting sport this is to watch.

Of course, you really need to have nerves of steel to take the wheel (and to be good at it), but I am amazed time and again by the gigantic speed of the pit stops. You really have to perform well under pressure to get that done in just a few seconds. I find it fascinating to see that every time. Often, we sit together (because we are now quite a large group of Formula 1TM fans) and loudly fantasize about how we would handle it. Personally, I think I would be fired within half a minute.

Well, I can now really put it to the test and get a look inside a Formula 1TM garage and do a pit stop challenge. And you can too. Because from today until Sunday, September 4, you can find the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula 1TM Team garage, also known as ‘IL PITSTOP’, in the Westfield Mall of the Netherlands, made possible by Peroni Nastro Azzuro 0,0%. It's incredibly fun: you can take a look inside the garage of the Aston Martin Formula 1TM Team, where a replica of the AMR22 team car is on display. And that is quite impressive to see, you can understand that.

As I mentioned, there is also a pit stop challenge that you can participate in, where you really have to change tires as quickly as possible. I'm already getting sweaty palms at the thought of having to do this, but of course, I can't miss it.

And on top of that, we will be drinking my favorite drink of the summer: the Peroni Nastro Azzuro 0,0%. This is genuinely my favorite non-alcoholic drink at the moment, so you definitely want to try a few when you're there. Plus, that challenge will probably cause quite a bit of anxiety sweat for me, so staying hydrated is also a good idea.

You can find IL PITSTOP from September 1 to 4 in the Westfield Mall of the Netherlands in Leidschendam.
