"I could not believe it; I was standing on the top of the Le Mans podium in my first full year of racing."
My girlfriend told me that one day I would do the full 24 Hours of Le Mans race. I did not believe it, but she was right.

Shot over several months in 2022, Pilota Ferrari tracks Christoph from his home and office in Switzerland, to the first European World Endurance Championship race at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, on to the AF Corse Factory in Piacenza, Italy, boxing at his gym in Zug, Switzerland; and then, of course, inevitably, to the biggest and most famous race of them all, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in France.
