The Brazilian model directly addressed her fans with her brave and heartfelt confession. She wrote, “I can’t stop thinking about all pain, suffering mourning, trauma, shock, despair that the Palestinians in Gaza are living through right now.

Moreover, lack of sleep, over-thinking, and anxiousness can follow, if one gets too deep into this.  This is why this further highlights that F1 personalities too are humans and can struggle.
