Coach Clara took Leo to a small go-kart. 'Before you drive a big car, you must master the small one,' she said. Leo climbed inside and gripped the steering wheel tight. He felt like a real hero.

Leo learned that drivers need to be very strong. Coach Clara showed him how to exercise. 'You must have a strong heart and muscles to steer at high speeds,' she explained. Leo did ten big jumping jacks.

'Eating well is also part of the job,' said Coach Clara. She handed Leo a crunchy green apple. Professional drivers eat lots of fruits and vegetables to keep their brains sharp and their bodies moving fast.

Next, Leo learned about the pit crew. 'No driver wins alone,' Coach Clara said. 'You need a team to change tires and fix the engine.' Leo shook hands with the mechanics. He learned to say thank you.
