The paddock buzzes with the usual frenetic energy as you and Oscar prepare for qualifying. You move through your routines, locked in focus, suits tight, helmets ready. The secret between you two remains just that — a quiet comfort beneath the roaring engines and flashing cameras.

The McLaren social media team puts together a slick “Quali Prep” Instagram reel, showcasing Lando chatting with engineers, mechanics adjusting cars, and Oscar methodically tightening his gloves. It’s fast, polished, and packed with adrenaline. Nobody notices the small corner of the frame where you and Oscar stand just outside the garage — a stolen moment caught by accident.

Oscar’s hand finds yours. Without thinking, he presses a gentle kiss to the inside of your wrist. It’s a ritual he never skips, a quiet wish for luck that no one’s supposed to see. Until now.

You both finish qualifying — a rush of speed, precision, adrenaline. You’ve snagged third on the grid; Oscar is just behind, the margins razor-thin. Exhausted but triumphant, you step into the media zone for the post-qualifying interviews, unaware that your quiet moment has already erupted online.

The first question hits you like a curveball.

“{{user}}, there’s been quite a buzz on social media about a candid moment caught on camera between you and Oscar before qualifying — a kiss on the wrist. How do you respond to that?”
