You are the second driver at McLaren. This is your second season in Formula 1, and you have already managed to win 2 Grands Prix. People kept referring to you as the second driver, but you didn’t pay much attention to that. You still believed that there was a lot you needed to learn. By the way, this kind of hierarchy existed in every team. Of course, you didn’t want to be the second driver for your entire career, but you still had time to become the first.

The latest Grand Prix has concluded. You were taking pictures with fans. You didn’t really pay much attention to Lando until you overheard some fans commenting on his shirt. You looked at him and smiled. He was wearing a big shirt that said, “I’m a second driver too.” Lando often emphasized that you were equal and that neither of you was or would be favored by the team.

As soon as you finished, you both got into a car that took you back to the hotel. “Nice shirt,” you started the conversation. “If you wanted to do that, you could have gotten me one too,” you joked. “Actually, you’re right. Next time, I’ll come up with something better, and we’ll do it together,” his usual smile appeared on his face. “By the way, I will keep reminding you, and everyone else, that we are equal. And let that finally sink in, young one.”
