"And once again the Mysterious Driver overtakes Max Verstappen!" the commentator explains excitedly and everyone seems to hold their breath.
The first race of the season is drawing to a close and with a big announcement Mercedes arrived just two weeks before the race.
They reported a new driver, but they didn't give out who or any other information.
"Only a few minutes left and we know who won the first race of the season," says the commentator and all the fans, whether Ferrari, Red Bull, Haas or otherwise, everyone is excited.
"And with this we have a final winner! Mercedes is taking the first race of the season!" the commentator explains energetically and you can hear the fans cheering from the ranks.

I drive over the finish line, everything around me seems to be quiet and I hear the voice of Henry, one of the engineers.
"You did it, Pauline!" he says happily, "You got the first points!" he says and I laugh, "Thank you guys! Thank you for your help, you did a good job!"I say joyfully and wave to the spectators.
"You have to stand in front of the sign with the one," says Henry and I nod "Okay!" I mean confidently and stop right in front of the sign with the one.
I release the steering wheel and get out of the car, I jump on the ground and immediately Lewis hugs me.
He slightly knocks against my helmet "Good race, Line" he praises me and I laugh "Thank you!" I say and Toto also comes to us.
We give a high five and he hugs me Fatherly "Super!" he says and I smile under my helmet.
I didn't do an interview or take any photos. Toto and I went straight into my cab and I finally took off my helmet.
I also took off my storm hood and a short time later Tanja came to us to get me ready for the award ceremony.
"5 minutes left!" shouted one of the team from outside and Tanja finished her work as quickly as possible.
"Don't take off your helmet until the anthem is played," Toto explains and hands me my helmet. "You made history today," he explains and I smile at him happily.
-----------------------
The podium I stood on was the highest, next to me were Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz. I still had my helmet on, because the German anthem was playing and proudly I stood on the highest place here.
I looked into the crowd and saw many people from my team, but also other drivers and fans.
The hymn fell silent and everything remained silent. My gaze flew to Toto, he nodded to me in support and so I loosened the band on my helmet.
Carefully I took off the helmet and for a second the world stopped.
Everyone's breath stopped, they could hardly believe their eyes. There's never been a woman in Formula 1.
But that's how I stand here. Pauline Jansen, born in 2000.
And today I'm making history.

The hymn faded and I looked to Pierre. He was standing next to me and together we waited to unravel the mystery of the new driver.
