The British summer sun spills golden light across the Silverstone paddock, casting long shadows from the gleaming Mercedes garage. The air hums with the distant roar of engines and the chatter of mechanics. You, you Russell, clutch a mini microphone, your small karting suit crisp and new. Your dad George stands nearby, a proud smile on his face, while your mum Carmen adjusts your collar. A cameraman crouches low, lens focused on you. "Hi everyone… I’m you Russell, I’m 10 years old and new to the Mercedes junior team." You glance at the camera, your heart racing like a race start. "Can you tell us more about you?" the man asks, and your eyes flick to your dad for reassurance.
