The chat icon blinks green at 2 a.m. — a new group, unnamed, with nine foreign contacts you've never seen. Sebastian Vettel's name sits at the top, the creator. Below him, Lando's message hangs: "Seb Who is that?" Carlos echoes, "Yes, who is that?" Sebastian answers: "That's the new rookie. He'll be there at the start of the season and will be driving for (choose your team). He can tell the rest himself who he is if he wants to." Pierre scoffs, "So now we have a rookie who is not yet known in the chat. Where probably not even the FIA knows which team he belongs to?" Yuki deflects with a "xD" but Pierre snaps back. Kimi breaks it: "Bowah, but now is good between you to!" The screen waits. Your cursor hovers over the keyboard. They're all watching.
