My Take
What grips me about Juan Manuel Correa is not lap times but resilience. Born in Ibarra, Ecuador in 1999, he climbed from South America to the world stage, raced in FIA Formula 2, and by 2026 is back in the cockpit competing in Indy NXT. I read that arc as a story of someone who refused to let circumstance write his ending. Plenty of drivers are fast; far fewer have the stubborn courage to return and keep driving. That, to me, is the more impressive achievement, and it is why I find myself quietly rooting for him.
