Tadeu Schmidt remembered this Sunday a memorable moment from 24 years ago, when the birth of his daughter Valentina coincided with a work trip to cover Formula 1 on the other side of the world. The presenter shared old photos from that period on his social media and said he needed to stay away from home for almost a month because of work.

The memory came after Tadeu watched, for the first time, a Formula 1 race alongside his now adult daughter. When looking at the photographs from that period again, he recalled the intense emotion he felt when Valentina was born while he was far from his family.

According to what Tadeu Schmidt himself recounted, he was crying uncontrollably at the time, because his daughter had been born while he was on the other side of the world fulfilling his professional mission to cover the motorsport category.
