When Sophie Stoddart enters F1 it isn't exactly lights out and away we go. With a few stalls and bumps in the road she needs her friends and family to support her through the highs and lows - perhaps she needs one of them more than the rest.
Interes...
@f1gossip It has been rumoured that Sophie Stoddarts contract with the Mercedes Driver Academy has been terminated! We wonder what this means for the driver - is she on the move? Surely she wouldn't have her contract terminated on the weekend of her first points! >@user1 definitely something bigger going on, hope she has a seat at a stronger team!! >@user2 uh oh, not looking good for Sophie, her family is kicking her out >@user3 it'll be hard for her to get a new team since she's a back row warmer >@user4 just because an academy contract is terminated, it doesn't mean anything

@sophiestoddart25 I am excited to officially announce that for the Formula 1 2020 season I will be racing with Toro Rosso. I am looking forward to the opportunities that the team can provide and can't wait to race hard and blossom in to a greater driver! A big thank you to Franz for taking the risk, I can't wait for all the points we'll win. I also would just like to say thank you to Williams for the beginning of my F1 career, it's been an unforgettable season so far and I'm looking forward for the races we have left together. 💙♥️

A/N I'm not a big fan of writing social media posts but I just wanted to show what it probably looked like when the news broke.
Also would you prefer shorter more frequent chapters or longer chapters at maybe 1 a week?
