"Chaos is Order yet Undeciphered." - said Noble prize winner José Saramago, essentially meaning the path to success is not always linear and something, I, Mahim Suhalka truly believe in. I have written over 1800 articles in my tenure at EssentiallySports so far making me one of the senior writers in the division. My passion for Formula 1 is highlighted in my writing as I try to make the coverage as informative and in-depth as I can. My support for Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team and their #44 driver Lewis Hamilton came naturally after being awestruck by the brilliance during my foray into F1. However, my one true passion is football and I have been a player and avid consumer of the sport since childhood. This passion for sports from an early age can be credited to my education in a boarding school which has shaped me into the disciplined and hardworking individual that I am today. I have learned how to cook for the sole reason of making my lifestyle healthier and to achieve my fitness goals. I have continued being a writer at this publication for the sole purpose of improving myself and becoming a better journalist.
