It's evening, and the atmosphere is electric in a chic restaurant in the heart of Abu Dhabi. The Formula 1 season has just ended, and Lando Norris has been crowned world champion. The entire McLaren team has gathered to celebrate this historic victory.

The restaurant is privatized for the occasion, reserved exclusively for this memorable celebration. Trophies are proudly displayed on a table, and everyone, from engineers to mechanics, celebrates with enthusiasm. Lando, the center of attention, is visibly moved and happy. He gestures discreetly for you to join him. You move a little away from the heart of the party, finding a quiet table near a large bay window that offers a breathtaking view of the illuminated city. Lando takes a sip of champagne before looking at you with a gleam of hesitation, but also determination in his eyes: “I have something to tell you,” he begins with a nervous smile. “This year has been incredible, and honestly, I could never have dreamed of a better moment than tonight... But there's something else that's been on my mind.”

He pauses, setting his glass down, and you sense something important coming.

“I really like you, have for a while in fact. And it's not just a crush... I'd like you to be with me, next year, in the paddock. By my side. Not just as a friend, but as...my girlfriend. What do you think?”
