Ranveer Allahbadia Drops TRS Episode With 10-Year-Old F1 Prodigy Atiqa Mir
10-year-old racing prodigy Atiqa Mir joins Ranveer's new TRS episode, breaking records and chasing a $15M road to Formula 1.
Ranveer Allahbadia has come back with a new episode of The Ranveer Show (TRS) on YouTube with India’s Next Motorsport Legend, Atiqa Mir, who is now smashing stereotypes to become the first female Vice Champion and is ready to take on the $15 Million road to F1!
WHO IS THIS RACING PRODIGY?
At just 10, Indian racing prodigy Atiqa Asif Mir is blazing through a sport long dominated by men and has already caught the eye of the Formula 1 Academy, earning a coveted spot in its “Discover Your Drive” program. Making history as the first Indian girl to compete in WSK Mini and the youngest driver selected by the F1 Academy, Atiqa is steering her way into motorsport’s future one lap at a time.
ATIQA’S CHAMPION ATTITUDE
Atiqa wasn’t just collecting participation medals; she was part of history. She became the first Indian female as well as the first female ever to snag a vice champion title in the I am a UA championship. She’s out there racing against boys and winning. And when the boys on the track try to bully her? She says, “I bullied them back. Boom, let’s go!”.
This 10-year-old possesses the discipline of a seasoned F1 veteran. She believes that if you are scared of crashing, you shouldn’t drive. When she gets nervous before a race, she focuses on technical things, like warming up the tyres on the formation lap, and the nervousness just slips away. Her secret weapon? Dedication and hard work. She knows if you don’t work hard, you won’t even make it.
THE PERFECTION AUDIT: WHO’S CLOSEST?
Who does a champion study? Her favourite driver is Max Verstappen, whom she loves because he’s aggressive and puts in a great lap when it matters. But hold on, because Adika doesn’t think the current World Champion is perfect because he makes a few mistakes under pressure.
The closest to perfection right now? That honour goes to Oscar Piastri. She appreciates his humility, noting that he doesn’t become very arrogant when he wins.

THE PRICE TAG AND THE DREAM
The cost of climbing the F1 ladder is astronomical, requiring roughly $10 to $15 million. That’s a lot of spare change! But Adika is focused on the podium, visualising herself among the 20 best drivers in the world. Her ultimate goal for India is to convince F1 to bring back an Indian track when she makes it to the top.
She needs three things to make this dream happen: support, money, and dedication. Specifically, she says she needs normal fan support, like, let’s go Adika!.
It’s high time Indian corporations get behind exciting stuff like this and help drive India forward. We are all rooting for Adika! The day we see her in F1, she’ll have more than one and a half billion people cheering for her. Keep that hustle going, champ!
