“It’s Really Hard”: Mark Wahlberg’s Equestrian Daughter Can’t Hide Her True Feelings About F1 Drivers

The 13-year-old daughter of Mark Wahlberg, Grace, has been a growing force in the equestrian industry. Picking up her passion for riding at a very young age, the youngster has stayed true to her interest. Getting to the practice on time or cleaning out the barn at times have been a testament to Grace’s staunch passion and work ethic as iterated by Mark.

Recently, keeping up with her determination, Grace returned successfully from a week at the Las Vegas National Horse Show. However, as much as the little equestrian has grown to embrace the sport, another one has constantly lingered around: F1. In her recent Instagram interaction, the youngster picked up the opportunity to speak on the sport or rather the drivers.

Grace Wahlberg unveils her thoughts

On the 30th of November, Grace took to her Instagram stories to invite her followers for a candid interaction through ‘Ask me a question.’ As tens of questions lined up questioning the youngster on her equestrian journey, a few were quick to catch a hint about her interest in F1. “Who’s your fav f1 driver? I can’t tell,” a question on the tab read. Grace, equally teasingly put up a 4 picture collage of Lando, Max, and Oscar and captioned, “Ik it’s really hard to tell,” with a couple of laughing emoticons.

Another one of the tabs by a fan read, “Lando is mine,” reciprocating the previous answer, the equestrian joined in to say, “Lando is also one of my favorites!!”  When asked about Charles Leclerc, the 13-year-old tagged him ‘cool’ but he wasn’t the trio she posted on her story earlier. Interestingly, Grace’s fascination with F1 isn’t something new. The youngster has occasionally mentioned the drivers and the sport.

The equestrian’s F1 interest

Earlier last month, when the Las Vegas Grand Prix was coming close to the Wahlberg family’s adobe in Nevada, Grace had taken the opportunity to express her excitement for the same. “I can’t wait to meet Lando and Oscar,’ she said replying to a fan’s query. However, the youngster’s interest seemed to extend beyond the love for drivers.

A day ahead of the event, the Wahlberg family seemed to have visited the lanes for some excitement. While mother Rhea shared a picture of the father-daughter duo against a car, Mark shared a video of Grace sitting in one. “My ride for the weekend. Check out my driver,” he wrote while saying “Lando, you want your car back, come say hi to Grace,” in the clip. The Uncharted star who moved to Nevada to give his kids a better life seems to cater to every one of his children’s interests. Be it Grace’s equestrian leg, or his other sons’ basketball or Golf interests.
