Who is Yasmin Janahi?
According to the interview she gave to Belfast Live, Janahi is a big Formula 1 fan, and regularly follows F1 and DHL Motorsports’ official pages. That’s how she came to know about the commentary opportunity she got.
Though, she didn’t expect to out beat a massive herd of contestants competing against her. But her 90-second video submitted was good enough for F1 to bring her to Bahrain. In the interview, she revealed that she is a Daniel Ricciardo fan and she feels that it’s unfortunate that she can’t meet him during her trip, as he is no more in the paddock.
Career-wise, Janahi aspires to be an F1 presenter, which she further revealed. With this opportunity, she seems to be on the correct path.
