jegove vožnje uvek ostavljaju ljubite-
lje auto-moto sporta bez daha. Jedini
Srbin koji se izborio za superlicencu
za Formulu 1, najjače i najpopularnije
takmičenju u automobilizmu, Miloš
Pavlović nikada nije nastupio u najskupljem takmi-
čenju na svetu, iako je tu mogućnost dobio još pre
dvanaest godina kao pobednik italijanske Formule
3. Mnogi bi rekli da mu je nedostajala sreća – ali od
tog cilja nikada nije odustao.
– Sreća je bila uvek uz mene, od početka karije-
re do danas – kaže. – Formulu 1 je trebalo da vozim
2008. u timu Frenka Vilijamsa, ali, morao sam, kao
i svi drugi vozači u F1, da obezbedim sponzora.
Nažalost, to se nije dogodilo.
Ove godine Pavlović se u punom sjaju pri-
kazuje u Lamborgini Supertrofeju, u kojem niže
pobedu za pobedom i trenutno ubedljivo vodi u
šampionatu.
Njegova priča počela je pre dvadeset godina,
kada je kao dvostruki prvak Jugoslavije u kartingu
počeo da se takmiči u Italiji, gde je ubrzo postao i
vicešampion Evrope. Pre desetak godina Pavloviću
je nuđeno italijansko državljanstvo, ali se on nadao
da će podrška doći iz Srbije.
– Odanost prema svojoj zemlji nema cenu
– ističe Pavlović. – Kada čovek iskreno veruje u
sebe, ostvariće sve svoje snove. Od prvih dana
profesionalne karijere znao sam koje rezultate
treba da postignem kako bih došao do Formule 1 i
te rezultate sam, uz velika odricanja, u potpunosti
ostvario. Kada bih imao sličnog sponzora kao što
ih imaju najbolji vozači: Alonso, Fetel, Maldonado…
sada bih sigurno bio s njima na stazi.
Da li planira da se oproba u nekom šampiona-
tu kao što su WTCC ili DTM, koji spadaju među
najjače na svetu?
– Razmišljam o tome – kaže. – Kada vozač do-
stigne nivo da sa uspehom može da nastupi u bilo
kojoj kategoriji auto-sporta, onda izbor takmičenja
u narednoj godini zavisi samo od kompatibilnosti
sa ciljevima sponzora.

His driving always leaves fans of the auto-
motive sport breathless. The only Serbian to
obtain the coveted superlicence for Formula
1, the ultimate and most popular automobile
competition, Miloš Pavlović, never partici-
pated in the most expensive competition in
the world, even though he was given the op-
portunity twelve years ago as the winner of
the Italian Formula 3. Many would say that he
just wasn’t lucky enough – but he never gave
up on his dream.
– Luck has always been on my side, from
the beginning of my career to this very day –
he says. – I was supposed to drive in Formula
1 in 2008 in Frank Williams’ team, but I had
to find a sponsor, like all Formula 1 drivers
do. Unfortunately, that never happened.
This year Pavlović has performed spec-
tacularly in the Lamborgini Supertrophy,
where he has a string of wins and has a com-
fortable lead in the European championship.
His story began twenty years ago, when
as Yugoslavia’s two-time karting champion
he started to compete in Italy, where he soon
became the European vicechampion. Around
ten years ago, Pavlović was offered Italian
citizenship, but he hoped to find support in
Serbia.
– Loyalty to my country is invaluable –
Pavlović emphasizes. – When someone sin-
cerely believes in themselves, they’ll achieve
their dreams. From day one of my profes-
sional career I knew the results I needed to
have in order to reach Formula 1 and, through
dedication and effort, I accomplished all I
set out to achieve. If I had a sponsor like the
best drivers: Alonso, Fetel, Maldonado… I’d be
with them right now, on the track.
Is he planning to compete in champion-
ships like WTCC or DTM, considered to be
among the best in the world?
– I’ve been thinking about it – he says. –
When a driver reaches a level where he can
successfully compete in any category, then
the choice of competitions only depends on
compatibility with sponsor goals.
Podrška za Top Gear
Nedavno je popularni probni
vozač Ben Kolins – „The Stig“
iz najgledanije auto-emisije
na svetu, „Top Gear“, vozio
Milošev lamborgini.
– Bilo je zabavno. Stigu sam
detaljno objasnio sve specifične
procedure i ponašanje mog
automobila. Znate, svaki
trkački automobil je jedinstven,
pogotovo kada vozač iza leđa
ima motor koji razvija 570
konjskih snaga.

Recently, famous test driver
Ben Collins – “The Stig” from
“Top Gear“, drove Miloš’s
Lamborghini.
– It was very fun. I explained all
the specifics of my car to The
Stig. I mean, every race car is
unique, especially when the car
has a 570-horsepower engine.
