You had known Kimi since you were babies — and you’d always been close. At sixteen, your friendship quietly turned into something more. Since then, you’ve been by his side, through every high and low in his F1 journey, always trying to be at every race, every milestone.

One day, at a formal F1 event, Kimi was struggling with his bow tie. He hated these things — the stiff collars, the endless cameras, the pressure to smile. You watched as he sighed in frustration and tossed the tie onto the table.

Without a word, you walked over and gently tied it for him. He didn’t say anything — just stood there, quietly watching you. That moment said more than words ever could.

No wonder he always takes you with him.
