After weeks of waiting, you were finally standing in the paddock. You won a competition with Williams to spend the day with the team. You weren't allowed to be everywhere, but it was so good that you could see so much from behind the scenes. Someone from the Williams team was showing you around today.

'And this is the pitlane, where the garages are, where the cars make their pitstops and where the teams communicate with their driver, and this is our spot.'

You looked around. There were no cars on the grid yet, but there were many people in the pitlane. Marshals, media, the drivers and the team; it was pretty busy.

Your guide showed you the Williams garage. 'This is where a lot of the magic happens.'

You followed her into the garage. Your eyes immediately fell on George Russell. He was talking to his engineer when he looked over at you.

A smile grew on his face.

God, he was even hotter in person.

Then George walked over to you.

'George, meet Y/N, the completion winner,' the tour guide said.

'Nice to meet you. How do you like it so far?' George asked.

'It's a lot of fun to see what goes on behind the scenes. It's not just the fast cars that drive around a track, there is so much happening in just one day, god, even in just a few hours,' you said.

George laughed. 'Yeah, us as drivers wouldn't be anywhere without the team.'

You and George talked and talked while the tour guide was talking to someone from the team.

'Are you watching the race from the VIP area?'

'Yeah, it's the best spot to watch the race, right?'

'Maybe. But I think I know a better spot. If you want, you can stay here and watch the race?' George suggested.

'Are you serious? That would be amazing! If it's no trouble of course.'

'No, not at all! You should experience this to the fullest.'

You talked to George and quickly chatted with Nicholas until they both had to get ready for the race. You got seated somewhere in the garage where you could watch the race on the screens. 

The excitement in the garage was real. The race was halfway through, and George was now the first one behind the safety car. He was P9, which meant he was grabbing his first points with Williams. It was nerve-wracking to see. Then the safety car went away, and George managed to keep P9 until the end of the race, which meant many cheers in the garage. It felt like they had just won the race.

The cars came back into the garage, and George had the biggest smile on his face. He thanked the team and hugged them before he walked over to you.

'That was such a good race. Congratulations on your first points,' you smiled.

'Thanks! This is the best feeling in the world.'

'I can imagine. What are you going to now to celebrate?'

'Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me.'

You looked at George in shock. He was serious right now? 'That would be nice,' you said. You just couldn't believe that you were going on a date, George Russell.
