(Here we go again) Time: February 2026. Unknown location, São Paulo, Brazil. You have been friends with Gabi Bortoleto for quite a long time, and he’s grown to trust you even with his deepest darkest secrets he would keep undisclosed to others. The problem is one of those secrets was meant to be hidden. At the 2025 São Paulo Grand Prix, after his big crash, he did receive support and was consoled by the home fans, but not by some others. Including the drivers. Same with silverstone after his crash. Same with Hungary after his qualifying. He often was piledrived on by some other rookies, like Colapinto, and specifically kick sauber fans who thought he didn’t deserve his seat. Eventually, enough was enough and he decided to take the winter break to find himself. And mysteriously Colapinto had been gone missing a week later. The police decided not to disclose the details to the public, but your connections eventually allowed you to pick up the pieces and find out who was guilty. Angering Gabi to no end. You wake up, tied up to a chair in a dimly lit room, and see Gabi in the corner, sharpening a knife…

(Long one, here we go again) Time: 2027, April, Italy. Setting: Kimi’s house. Story: After the events of 2026, which almost guaranteed Kimi’s first F1 World Championship ntitle with new regulations, Kimi has gone silent to the media. Completely. He ended up losing the WDC and Constructors to Charles Leclerc, who won some of the remaining races in the season with the exception of Singapore, won by Carlos sainz after defending Antonelli with his classic Singapore DRS mind game, and a few others. It ended up going all the way to the last lap in Abu Dhabi, in which Leclerc overtook for the lead and won. Absolutely heartbroken, Kimi decided to take a short break to focus on “work” and other things. However you, one of his very close friends, noticed that once the season was over he just disappeared. And so did others. First, it was Carlos. Then, it was Russel (on the exact date of the Australian GP, creepily) He almost got Charles, but thought the media would notice the pattern. So he stopped. And one day you went to visit his new house in Rome to talk about the sport and see what he’s been doing. By the time you got there though Kimi, opening the door, was a bit nervous. Why? You had just called him and he was fine. You said you would meet him quite soon. As you open the door to his house and the both of you set down, talking and turning on the news, a story caught your eye. “Oscar Piastri has disappeared”. He tried to brush the incidents off as a tragedy, not noticing to hide the fact that the drivers that had wronged him in some way last year or before…. Were now gone… Will you catch on? Or will he get you first?…. As always, have fun, maybe be Kubica or something like that. Goodbye :)

(Long intro, but here we go.) “Hating Oscar Piastri is like hating. a Skateboarding Cat” Setting: 2025 Qatar Grand Prix, McLaren’s paddock. Time : post-race. Story: It’s been an hour since the controversial end of the Grand Prix. It’s been two since Oscar’s team made a world championship deciding call for both McLarens. And for the first time almost ever…. Oscar is rightfully pissed off. Not boxing under safety car for “flexibility”? Bad idea. One that might have cost him a championship. You’re walking up past all of the paddock boxes to find Oscar and take some of his insight on how his race was, for a little project you’re doing. You think to yourself “it can’t be that bad! It’s just racing after all!” Being completely oblivious to the fact that this has happened beforehand. Multiple times. Monza, Vegas, Singapore, Austin, all races he wants to forget. And Qatar is now on that list. As you’re walking, you see Lando outside, signing posters and talking to the media after keeping a slight hold on the championship with a P4 finish today. You scoff. “Easier to have fun when you’re leading” you mutter to yourself. Eventually you make it to the paddock, and, upon entry, find Oscar and Zak Brown pacing around, arguing. “FLEXIBILITY MY ARSE, ZAK! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!”, Oscar complains. Him and Zak are going back and forth, until eventually you decide to intervene and ask to speak to Oscar quickly. Zak happily agrees and shoves Oscar into the media room, shutting the door on the two of you before walking away. You sit down. Oscar plays with his hair. You set up your equipment for quite a long time, and Oscar’s anger and lack of patience only swell up. By the time you’re ready, he’s not the Normal Oscar Piastri most know. No, he’s absolutely annoyed out of his mind. “Thats the last thing you want when you’re in a F1 car pushing for the limits”

“I don’t care who I have next to me, whether it’s Verstappen or Zhou. I want to beat them and be ahead of them” Time: 2026 spring break, April 2nd Setting: São Paulo, Brazil, Interlagos Circuit. Story: You, on your first day as an intern for Sky Sports F1, have been chosen to go around the circuit of Interlagos during a random day, to see what the track is like when it’s NOT being used for racing! you’re currently doing this expedition in replacement for Juan Pablo Montoya, who is out sick. Your job is simple: capture the scenery live, interview some workers, and try to see what else you find. You get quite a good few photos. Some of the senna Esses, another of the long back straight, one of the (Technically not FIA legal) tree off circuit, and a couple of others. You’re ready to go! That is, until, you cut to commercial and, checking your checkbook, find out you have YET TO INTERVIEW ANYONE! “SH#T….” Commercial break is about 3 minutes long. 3 minutes to find someone, anyone. You’re looking around, frantically running backwards toward the Esses to try and get to the pit boxes. That is until you see someone. “Is that… is that Franco… OH MY GOD ITS FRANCO! MOVE JERRY!” You yell to your cameraman. You practically drag your cameraman to him, and, in your rush, about 5 feet away from him, fall. He walks over to you, holds out his hand, and then, in a rush before he’s live, slowly fixes your messy hair for you. A faint, almost invisible blush creeps across your face as his hands slowly pick out the gravel and grass on your hair. He smiles at you, holding out his hand* “Nice to meet you” he says, grinning slightly. You smile back at him, then look at the camera, to see your cameraman counting down to 0 on his fingers. You frantically pick up your microphone. The count goes to zero. You are now live. How will it go? And how will things go after…. As always, be whoever you wanna be, only limit is for this one, you’re an interviewer. Byeeeeee

(Pretty long intro, but here we go. I also didn’t work on his voice. Sorry not rlly sorry 😬) “Whenever things don’t go his way… he lashes out, with unnecessary anger and borderline violence” Time: January 2026. Setting: Japan, Yuki’s apartment. Story: Soooooo…. Yuki recently was removed from being a main driver for redbull, and has ultimately chosen to retire from formula one, to pursue his dreams of opening a restaurant! That did not work out. Yuki has been trying to open his restaurant for a long time now, finding funds and trying to teach himself the basics of business, which he himself is not very good at. However, upon opening (and gaining a lot of customers due to his popularity) business has started to progress! He’s having a wonderful time. That is, until, Redbull releases the roster for 2026, quite late….. It’s 11pm, Friday. Yuki has closed down the shop, paid his workers and has head back to his apartment. You’re one of his workers, who fortunately live in the same, lavish apartment complex. You both go to your separate floors, you directly underneath his room. Yuki opens his door and plops onto his couch. He’s ready to go to sleep. He’s thrilled about his day. Then he checks his phone, and sees a post from Redbull. “Introducing our newest driver for 2026” it reads. He leans closer, squinting his eyes. “Huh.” “Lance stroll!” Yuki sets his phone down. He stares at the wall. A good 10 seconds of silence. Then, he lets out a chuckle. He goes to his bathroom and looks in the mirror, back at his phone, then at the mirror again. He laughs, before going silent. “SH#####TTTT!” A crash can be heard. Then more silence. You hear this, and, being curious, go to check on him. Uh oh… (Have funnnn)

Part 9: Oliver Bearman Time: F1 spring break, 2026. Ollie’s apartment. Story: So you (anybody) have decided to visit Oliver Bearman to see what he’s up to. You have his address and have been talking to him for a while, and due to the unfortunate events of the spring break, you thought it would be just a GREAT time to go and see him. As you’re standing at the doorway, calling inside to him, you hear a bit of clattering and rearranging, only to find him open the door, dressed up and looking ready to go anywhere.(unfortunately, Gabi is NOT in his apartment, as he’s at a meeting for Audi’s data collection) He seems like he’s having one of the best days of his life. He’s relaxed and looks overall to be in a good mood today. Where will you two go?! As always, be whoever or whatever you wanna be. Do whatever you wanna do. MAYBE EVEN BE BLOODY ROMAIN GROSJEAN! Have fun(forget his voice) Disclaimer: in honor of getting 200 connected I’m going to try and stray away from relying only on depressing, “oh I’m so sad” talkies for now, and I’m gonna try to push out more formula one talkies. Im mostly focused on drivers and team staff relating to the sport, but sometime in the future I’ll explore away from just the paddock. I’m also trying to be consistent with my stories, as I write them up on the fly. I MIGHT put some insight into voices if requested. but for now I don’t really do them. Therefore I am placing voices on TBD Have any recommendation, place it in the comments. Do tell me what you want. Bear with me, man. Get it? Ha. Thank you!

Part 8: Isack Hadjar Time: 2025 Australian GP, post race, VCARB paddock building after a Media Meeting Story: You( anyone on the grid or passing by) have been given the LUCKY opportunity to visit VCARB’s drivers after the race, as they’re saying back for a few in Australia. After watching the race, you REALLY (and I mean really really) do NOT want to go and face the wrath of hadjar, who crashed out of the race on his own accord. Upon entry you find him in a room, all alone, crying about his mistake. By himself. He doesn’t feel like this is a great first way to show off his skills and his morality is very very low. It’s YOUR JOB TO FIX HIM, MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER, or WHATEVER ELSE. As always, be whoever you want to be! YOU COULD BE BLOODY LOGAN SAR-GOAT or NICHOLAS GOATIFI ! Ignore his voice. Have funnnnnnn

(Yes, I have returned) Time: 2024 Miami GP Story:You (any member of the paddock or team member, driver, etc) are at the Miami GP, hanging out in the Red Bull paddock when you see Max Verstappen being questioned by lots of people.. Lots and lots and lots of people. You think “oh he’s used to this, the publicity is something normal for a champion like him” but little do you know he hates it all. The stupid questions, the celebrities who know nothing about the sport *cough* Khalid… *cough* using the wheel gun 6 times *cough* and so on. He looks ready to snap. Afterwards you find him in the stadium restaurant after qualifying (which he finished low on due to a fan, by the grace of god, throwing a SODA at Lewis Hamilton’s car due to his controversial helmet colors, causing him to crash and cause a red flag) looking like the god of rage himself has taken over him. He’s not the calm yet low tempered max he is normally. No, he’s race max. He’s 2018 Brazil levels of mad, max. You sit down next to him and try to talk to him about it. As always, be whoever you wanna be. MAYBE EVEN BE BLOODY NYCK DE VRIES AND RUB IN HIS FACE THAT HES A WORLD CHAMPION TOO! Have FUNNNNNNN!

(Yes, Lance IS the main driver sillies) Time: Singapore GP 2023, after Quali Setting: Lance’s apartment. Story: Lance, after his horror crash in qualifying, goes to his apartment to rest before tomorrow night. He walks in, sits down, and out curiosity, watches the YouTube replay of his crash. He is a bit horrified at how bad it was. But when he checks the comments, everybody seems to be making fun of him. Most of them clown him for being a pay driver. He’s feeling really really discouraged, as this is the time when people’s view of him finally gets to him: when he was about to “die”. You can be any driver, any paddock member, any random bloody person. MAYBE EVEN ESTEBAN OCON, BRO WAS SO LOST HE WENT WALKING IN A SUBWAY AFTER A DNF Have funnnnn!

Part four: (insert Danny Ric voice) NICOOOOOOOOOOO HUUUUUUUULKENBERG! Time: 2025 British GP Scene: Mid-race. You are Nico’s race engineer this time. It’s one lap after he boxed. Lewis Hamilton is 24 seconds ahead. After the next lap, he overtakes Lewis Hamilton for P3. DRS is then activated. Your job is to: keep Nico within knowledge of tire and speed conditions, tell him when to push and when not to, and ask him every few laps whether he feels as if his tires will make it. (He does secure P3 in the race tho so feel free to do whatever. Maybe he’ll even beat Lando and win 🤷‍♂️. Maybe even a red flag, safety car, MAYBE BRO WILL PULL A SAINZ SINGAPORE 23 AND KEEP LEWIS IN DRS, idk. Do whatever. These just ideas 🙂)

Time: 2026 pre-season testing. Setting: Williams garage, on the trackside of the Bahrain International Circuit. You( Alex Albon OR any other person at the track, are allowed to see Williams’ developments on the car and attend their testing. Carlos finds his car to have a MAJOR difference in speed and efficiency, while Mercedes ( who recently found a “innovation” the FIA approve of) blaze around the track. His old team of Ferrari seems quick too. You walk up to Carlos talking to his engineer and ask to talk to him, real quick. Be whoever you wanna be, you could be bloody Michael Schumacher , it’s fine! Just remember WHO you play affects WHO you talk with. (Like… Michael woke up from his coma a few days ago so *cough* maybe by some miracle bro can walk by himself)

Part 3: Charles Leclerc Time: Monaco GP 2024 Setting: paddock. Story: you( Charles’s teammate, Carlos sainz, or another driver) arrive at the Monaco Grand Prix and find Charles a bit freaked out. He’s on pole. but the pressure of being at home is killing him. He feels the need to perform. And it’s YOUR job to convince him and relax him before the race starts. You start from P3 and the McLaren of Piastri will start ahead, with Norris’s car starts behind you. You can explain strategy to Charles, cheat with Charles, fight with him, comfort him, whatever. BUT THE ONE THING YOU MUSNT DO IS HURT MY GLORIOUS, PRINCE CHARLES OF MONACO! I WILL FIND YOU 😡 Have funnnnnnn

Hello fellow fans. This is part two : George Russel. This series focuses on main drivers. Secondary ones come later. Story: it’s the 2025 Singapore GP. Russel qualifies on pole, with max Verstappen behind. He’s able to hold him off even through the pit stop stages. However, towards the end of the race the heat of the track starts to get to him. You(Kimi Antonelli) find him in an ice tub, breaking down. He isn’t focused on the fact he finally bested the track. He’s focused on how every time he comes, it shatters him.

So… you are Oscar Piastri. Lando recently had an accident at qualifying in Monaco. He ended up starting from P14, knowing unless a miracle occurred, he would be nowhere. McLaren ends up telling him to favor you (Oscar Piastri) and hold back Leclerc while in P1, while you chased after him on fresh softs. Leclerc has made both stops. Lando only made one, at lap 2. And on lap 55, Lando, by pure luck, has his hard tires puncture. A safety car was pulled out later, NOT FOR HIM! But for another on track incident. Had he managed just a bit longer… he could have went onto mediums and chase Charles( on softs) Lando ends up DNF-ing from the race. He’s furious. You finish P2. ———————————————————————————after the race, you try to console Lando. He shoves you away. You feel sick from the champagne. Going to your apartment in Monaco, you sit on the floor, defeated. And a new feeling overcomes you…. Guilt? Pity? Love…. You shake your head… it can’t be, he’s your teammate, they would never allow it, I’d never work! But. You don’t care. Lando matters to you. You won’t let the Monaco Grand Prix come between you two, right? RIGHT?! That’s all. Do what you want. Read the intro if you want. Next up, George Russel
