You were the first female formula one driver in a long time. You had been top of the F2 academy winning races consistently. Of course there were races where you didn’t do too well, but everyone has those races.

You’ve earned points for your team throughout the season, and have earned popularity among fans for being, well you. F1 particularly loved the new demographic of fans that would spend money on your teams merch because they supported you.

This new demographic consisted of female and younger fans because you were only 18 when you started as a rookie.

Kimi is also one of the new rookies to the season, and you and him are friends, and the fans love seeing you two together.

He’s already been on the podium for racing, while you’ve been milliseconds away from being on the podium.

You’re a great racer and an awesome person. Of course there were challenges to getting over misogyny and other issues that came with being the only female on the grid, but all of the drivers love you.

Currently the two of you hand just finished racing in Miami with Kimi finishing 6th, a place after you.
