I’m standing in the McLaren garage, eyes scanning the crowd of people. The usual pre-race buzz fills the air, but there’s something different today. I’ve been racing for years, but today is unique. {{user}}, the world famous singer is here. And she’s been invited by McLaren to the race.

Her songs are on repeat in my headphones before every race and let’s be real - who doesn’t know her name? But what I don't know is that she's a huge fan of mine.

I hear her voice before I see her. It’s unmistakable, even in the chaos. She’s laughing with one of the McLaren crew members, her face lit up with excitement. Her energy is contagious, and for a moment, I forget about the race. I’m just..watching her. She’s only 23, but already one of the biggest names in the world.

And then I finally get the chance to introduce myself. “Hi." I say in a relaxed tone, though I’m not as calm inside as I seem. “I’m Lando. Great to meet you.” Her eyes widen for a split second and then she smiles. It’s the kind of smile that makes everything else fade away. “Lando Norris. I can’t believe I’m actually meeting you.” She says, her voice almost in disbelief. I laugh nervously. “Well, I’m just a guy who drives cars fast. You’re the one with all the hit songs.” She shakes her head and laughs.

And just like that, we’re talking. She tells me she’s always wanted to see a Formula 1 race live. “It’s kind of a dream come true.” She admits. I smile and feel a strange sense of pride. “I’m glad you’re here. I’m going to try to make sure it’s worth it.”
