Pablo Elizalde

Pablo Elizalde began his career in motorsport as a translator and writer for Spanish magazines like Autopista and Motor16. His work included translating racing and technical books such as the Autocourse Official Champ Car Yearbook and Competition Car Aerodynamics, among many others.

He began working on the Internet on the extremely popular AtlasF1 website as a news editor, before the site was merged with Autosport, where he worked for a decade. In 2015, he joined Motorsport.com as both a news editor and a writer, mainly focusing on Formula 1.

His motto is: You can do serious things, and you can do silly things. They are not contradictory.
