You are about to be the first female Formula One driver in the racing sports. Andreas Seidl (McLaren's team chief) was head over heels about your racing skills and gave you the opportunity to join the McLaren family. He had contacted you and suggested you a seat in the McLaren racing team.
     Seidl's call caught you off guard, not expecting to have the McLaren's team chief on the line. "Hello with Y/N Davenport," you said. "Good afternoon, ms Davenport. You speak with Andreas Seidl, team boss of McLaren F1 team." A short pause before you responded, "Andreas Seidl? Head of the McLaren F1 team? Are you serious?"
     "I am serious," Seidl answered and chuckled when he heard a squeal on the other side of the line. "Oh my god," you said, "w-what can I do for you?" "I have seen you in action and I am impressed," he said, "I want you to be our first female driver in the Formula One."
     "Will you excuse me for a moment?" you said. Andreas Seidl answered shortly and laughed when he heard distance screams of happiness. "Ahum. Y-You want me on the team?" "Yes, you ms Davenport."

"When and where?" Andreas told you the place and time. "I will be there, thank you so much." "You're welcome."

When the call had ended, you crashed down on your bed — squealing in excitement. You had been dreaming to be competitive in the big male sport since you were little. You had seen Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, etc drive.
     It is because those men, you developed a big heart for the sports. Your father, Donald Davenport, was a rich man and allowed you to travel with him when there were certain Grand Prix races.
     If you were lucky, he had passed to several paddocks, depended on which Grand Prix. That is where you met Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher.

As Andreas Seidl is showing you around, you haven't enough eyes to see everything. The McLaren's base is gigantic.
"Thank you for this opportunity, Mr Seidl," you say — looking at the boss. He sends you a warm smile as he answers, "you are very welcome. The moment I saw you driving, I thought she will be competing in sports." You felt the blush reaching up to your cheeks.
"Shall we meet your futuristic teammate?" he asks, to where you nod. "Lando Norris right?" you ask, "with Carlos Sainz will be driving for Ferrari." Andreas looks down at you with pride, "you know a lot already."
"Joined the sport since I was three."

"Lando, Carlos!" Andreas greets as he approaches the boys. Carlos and Lando are sitting in their simulators and turn around when Seidl had called their names.
The boys were rather caught off guard by seeing your appearance. ''This is Y/N Davenport, Y/N will be Lando's teammate next season.'' You shake hands with both men as they introduce themselves. ''I'm Carlos Sainz,'' the Spaniard introduces. ''I'm ... Lando Norris,'' the Brit introduces.

Lando seems to zone out while his eyes are still on you, which started to be uncomfortable. ''Are you alright?'' you ask, causing him to snap out of his train of thought.
     "I am and I certainly didn't zone out," he smiles widely as Carlos starts to laugh. He leans towards you as he whispers, "he completely zoned out." You let out a chuckle as you glance at the Brit, who has gained some colour on his cheeks.

"Do you want to drive in the simulator?" Carlos questions and points to the simulation. You glance aside to Andreas, who nods. "We have lots of time," he answers. "Then I wouldn't say no to that," you laugh.
     "Cool!" Carlos wriggles himself out of the simulator to make place for you. Lando just sat back down, watching you slide down into the seat. Lando notices your seat setting are oddly familiar with his.

You select the MCL35 as you question, "which track?" Lando and Carlos change glances and both agree to Monza. "We chose Monza," Lando says, which causes a smile on your features. "Ah I love Monza."
You start your lap at Monza with a grid start. You went straight into the first chicane and flawlessly continued to the next curves. Lando and Carlos glance over their shoulder to see a proud expression on Seidl's face.
You push the MCL35 through the Parabolica. You set a time of 1.19.31, which surprises all of you. "That is really impressive, Y/N," Carlos gasps.

"Now, you both are going to drive a lap at Monza," you challenge. Lando glances at Carlos who has a smirk on his face. "Deal."
     Both drivers drove their lap at Monza. You took notice how smooth they were in the track. As Lando as Carlos, couldn't get to your lap time. "Ah, I messed up at the chicane," Carlos mutters.
     A smirk fits your features as both McLaren's didn't get to your lap time. "You were pretty close though," you say as you examine the screen.

"I think Seidl wants to continue his guiding through the base. It was nice to meet you!" you say smiling as you are about to walk away. "Nice to meet you too and see you on the track!" Carlos waves.
Carlos glances at his teammate, who is staring at you while you walk away. "You alright, mate?" "I don't know whether to be afraid or impressed of my soon to be teammate." Carlos chuckles as he questions why he should be afraid of you.
"Because she will be my new teammate and pretty," he mutters. "Oh ... what do I hear? Is little Lando in love?" Carlos asks sweetly, causing Lando to glare at his teammate. "It ain't funny. How am I supposed to drive then?" "Just like everybody else, helmets on ... no friendship."
     "Very strong argument."

After the Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi, the season has ended and Lando has had his Rookie year. A rookie year is your first year in Formula One.
     You felt amazing, preparing as a Formula One driver for the first practise. McLaren had announced the big news to the world.

BREAKING: Y/N Davenport joins McLaren for 2021

The news spread fast and soon enough, the paparazzi started on your social media. Everyone was hyped up about the fact you will be the first female formula one driver.
     You spend a lot of time in the garage of McLaren, bonding with your mechanics. They have taken a like of you, noticing how you prepared are to learn about the car.
     Besides getting to know the mechanics, you build a bond with several drivers. Daniel Ricciardo was all too happy to see change in the sports. You got along very well with him plus Charles Leclerc, George Russell, Alexander Albon, Max Verstappen, Carlos Sainz, and Kimi Raikkonen.

SEVEN MONTHS LATER, RACES HAVE BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO CORONA VIRUS

During lockdown, Lando, George Russell, Alexander Albon and Charles Leclerc were streaming on Twitch. They are later known as the Twitch Quartet.
You had always been watching the streams, especially your teammate's.

One day, Lando had invited you to join the stream at his home. You accepted his offer and spent days at his house.
His Twitch fans got to know you, just as the other three drivers. "So, you'll be driving for McLaren this year?" Charles asks. "I am, haven't you seen Twitter." "Well, no but I'm looking forward to it."

AUSTRIA GRAND PRIX 2020

Valtteri Bottas has struck the first blow in the 2020 season, winning the Austrian Grand Prix from Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, as Lewis Hamilton was demoted from a second-place finish on the road to P4 after a five-second penalty for contact with Alex Albon – handing McLaren's Lando Norris his first F1 podium for finishing P3.

The Mercedes duo of Bottas and Hamilton enjoyed a comfortable performance advantage throughout the 71-lap encounter. But with 10 laps to go, the race exploded into life, with Hamilton handed his penalty after nerfing Albon into a spin on a Safety Car restart on Lap 61.

A late surge for Ferrari's Charles Leclerc after a difficult weekend for Ferrari saw him climb to third by the flag, meaning he inherited second after the Hamilton penalty, while a late pass on the Racing Point of Sergio Perez was enough to give Norris the net P3, meaning McLaren begin a season with a podium for the first time since 2014.

Behind Norris, Hamilton took fourth, ahead of the second McLaren of Y/N Davenport and Perez. Then came the AlphaTauri of Pierre Gasly in seventh, ahead of F1 returnee Esteban Ocon in eighth, with Alfa Romeo's Antonio Giovinazzi P9 and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel – who spun early on in the race after contact with Davenport – in P10, just one place ahead of the final finisher, Williams' Nicholas Latifi.

You jumped out of your car and walked up to Norris' car. You hugged him tight — ''well done, mate!'' Lando took off his helmet and you could see the smile on his face. ''Thank you, Y/N. This is ... so bloody awesome.''

After Lando got his podium moment, the team took photos of him with the trophy and bottle of alcohol. ''Wait, I want Y/N here too,'' Lando hurries and calls your name.
     ''You called for me?'' you question and Lando gestures you to stand next to him. You both smile to the camera. Lando, who felt bolder than usual, pressed a kiss on your cheek. It caught you off guard and you blushed furiously, just as Lando.

MONZA GRAND PRIX 2020

An incredible 2020 Italian Grand Prix saw AlphaTauri's Pierre Gasly claim a maiden win. For the McLaren driver Y/N Davenport, who has claimed her first podium, and the Racing Point of Lance Stroll, as a transgression under the Safety Car saw polesitter Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton forced to serve a 10-second stop/go penalty, leaving him seventh at the flag.

The race was turned on its head by a Safety Car brought out as Kevin Magnussen's stricken Haas had to be recovered.
But with Hamilton diving into the pit lane when it was closed (as did Alfa Romeo's Antonio Giovinazzi), he was handed his penalty – which he served after the race was restarted on Lap 28 of 53, following a 25-minute red flag period after Charles Leclerc crashed heavily at the Parabolica.

You got out of your car and congratulated Pierre with his win. You shook hands with Lance Stroll, who was third. Charles walked up to you and hugged you before jumping on his best friend, Pierre.
     ''You did it!'' sounded behind you. You turned around to see Lando Norris walking up to you. These four months with him were amazing and you couldn't deny there was some kind of feeling for the male driver.
     Lando hugged you and kissed you on your cheek, something he repeated after the first time.

After your podium time, McLaren took photos again with both you and Lando. Lando and you walked to the paddocks. Lando closes the door behind him, feeling extremely nervous. You place the trophy on the table.
     ''Everything alright?'' you ask, stalking closer. You survey the nervous expression on your teammate's face. You tilt your head in question. ''Y-yeah,'' he stutters, ''I-I'm just so happy you got your first podium.''

''Are you sure about that?'' you question, ''or is it something else?'' You stopped walking and stood across the young driver. Lando gazed into your eyes, as you were around the same height. ''I don't know,'' he mutters.
     A silence followed where you were only gazing in the eyes of each other. You eventually wrap your arms around his neck and pull him in a hug, which he doesn't expect. A smile formed on his face and he wrapped around your waist.

''We are teammates, Lando,'' you mutter, ''but I have a feeling we are more than teammates.'' Lando listens to your voice and remains silent. ''From my side, I started to like you when you got your first podium. I was so proud and when you kissed me on the cheek the first time ... Damn I was blushing hard,'' you continue, ''I really enjoyed those four months together.''
     ''Me too,'' Lando mumbles, ''I was struck the moment I saw you, back at the base. The reason I didn't talk much, because I was stunned by your appearance. I have never seen such beauty and you were my futuristic teammate! I thought I was going through hell ... It was the alcohol, though ... that made me bolder, but I didn't regret it.''

Lando pulls back but stays close to you. You rest your heads against each other. ''So, there is no denial between us," you whisper. ''No, I think not.''
     ''Can I kiss you?'' whispers he softly. You glance into his eyes and nod — ''yes.'' Lando leans in until their lips touch. The moment your lips touch, butterflies exploded.

''Does that mean we are official?'' you question. Lando giggles — ''if you want us to be official.'' ''I want us to be official,'' you giggle.
     ''Y/N Davenport, do I have the honour to call you my girlfriend?'' Lando questions. You nod and smile, ''yes!'' You embrace him in a hug and place a kiss on his lips. You felt Lando smiling against your lips and smiled as well.

"Now we have the biggest mission," Lando comments. "Which is?" you question. "Keeping it a secret."

THE COUPLE HELD IT A SECRET FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS

"Keep it a secret huh?" you question amusingly as you scroll through Twitter. Lando bows his head in disbelief. "Well, yeah ... I don't mind," he answers.
"Now hoping Seidl and Brown are okay with it," you giggle. "I bet they are okay with it," Lando giggles and kisses you once again.

"I love you."
"I love you too, muppet."
