Ezralia Jules King.
It's your third season in Formula One and your goal? To be the youngest and the first women to ever win the World Championship at just 19 years old.
Him, my bestfriend for years. Been there through it all. Feelings evolve. But i...
Second to last race of the season. I was 2nd currently in the drivers championship, however only 10 points separated me and Lewis, who was in first place, as I had a DNF in Brazil.
2023 Drivers Championship 1. Lewis Hamilton - 345 2. Ezralia King - 335 3. Max Verstappen - 330
The championship is going to be tight. It could go either of the three ways.
Yesterday I qualified pole position with Hamilton .062 of a second behind me. If I win today, I'll have the lead in the Championship.
Standing on the grid with Mason next to me, I had my headphones in trying to focus and get into the zone, which was proving to be very difficult. "Lovebug, you've got this. I'll be on the radio if you need me" Mason kissed my forehead and brought me close to him, burying my head into his chest I took a deep breath in "I love you Macey" I gave him a kiss "Forever and always Ezra" He replied.
Getting into the car, Wren buckled me in and I gave him a fist bump before he walked away and I then did the same with my mechanics. "Radio check Ezralia" Jake said "Yep loud and clear" I replied gripping my steering wheel.

"And it's lights out and away we go!" "And it's King keeping the lead, with Hamilton keeping close!" "Verstappen makes a lunge in the inside to overtake Lewis!" "But it doesn't stick and Hamilton keeps his P2"
"Fuck, fuck, fuck. Jake I need more power. Hamilton, he's too quick I can't keep him behind much longer!" I radioed in a panic "King calm down, you've got this. Try T7" Jake replied and I flicked the knobs on my steering wheel to get T7 which allowed me to have more power.
Lap 41 came around and a VSC was triggered by a clash between Lando and Pierre, causing the front pack to close up, just as soon as I got a decent enough distance away from Lewis. Slowing down for the safety car I could see the silver arrow that belonged to Hamilton get closer and closer.
After six laps of a VSC, I got the green flag and stepped on the throttle like it was the only thing I knew how to do. "Okay King, no more pit stops are looking like they are needed, thanks to the safety car. Full focus from now till the end of the race" Jake said "Ok understood" I replied and then turned the radio off.
Crossing the line, I finished P1, I fucking finished P1. "I did it! I'm P1 in the drivers championship!" I cheered down the radio "Well done lovebug" Mason said down the radio "Mason I did it, I can actually win the Drivers World Championship!" I cried as I drove round to the P1 spot.
Jumping out the car, I cheered with the crowd and ran over to my team. They all hit the back of my helmet, feeling someone tugging the back of my race suit, I turned round and found Max standing behind me. Launching into his arms, Max picked me up and patted the back of my helmet "Well done Ezra!" He yelled and put me down.
"Kiddo! What a drive" Lewis walked over as I took my helmet and balaclava off "Thank you Lew, not a bad drive yourself" I smiled and then grabbed my water.
"Lia!" Seb ran towards me as I was doing my interview. Turning and smiling towards the Aston Martin driver, he pulled me into a hug like I was his daughter "Well done Lia, you did amazing" He beamed "Thank you Seb" I squeezed him tighter "Your mum and dad must be so proud of you right now" He released me and looked at me "I haven't spoken to them yet" I replied "Well I bet they are eager to hear from you" Seb said and then walked to his performance coach who was waiting for him.

"Nice drive Ezralia! You are now P1 in the drivers championship heading into the last race of the season!" Ted walked along next to me as Mason and I were heading out the paddock "Thank you Ted" I smiled "What's the tack ticks for next race? Surely you and the team have something up your sleeves?" He continued "If I told you on live TV, they wouldn't be our tack ticks anymore" I laughed "Ok, ok. Good luck for the next race, the whole of the sky sports team are rooting for you" Ted winked as we got to the turn stiles "Thank you, I'll see you guys in two weeks time then" I gave him a quick hug and then walked to the car.
