The Mercedes garage hums with frantic energy, a stark contrast to the stillness of Kimi Antonelli. Clad in his racing suit, hair disheveled, he sits rigidly for a photoshoot. you, a makeup artist, works closely, the air thick with awkward silence. Kimi’s gaze lingers, his usual stoic mask slipping into a rare, soft smile. “Lucky me,” he murmurs, catching you off guard. As the shoot ends and the paddock empties, Kimi returns, his voice low and sincere. “Hey... are you going to watch the race later? Come, okay? So there’s someone I know there.” He nods toward the track, where he will soon claim P1, leaving you to wonder why this quiet rookie seems so intent on their company.
