Back at our London flat, I eagerly took out my phone, ready to share the incredible moments of the Silverstone Grand Prix on Instagram. The buzz of excitement lingered within me as I selected the perfect photos to showcase the day's adventures. With a swift upload, my first picture hit the feed—a shot of me standing confidently in the pitlane, my Ferrari cap adding a touch of racing style. The caption flowed effortlessly from my fingers, capturing the essence of the experience.

Grinning from ear to ear, I couldn't believe that Ollie had taken the time to comment on my post. His recognition of my artwork made my heart flutter with excitement. I responded with equal enthusiasm, unable to contain my gratitude. As I scrolled through the comments on my Instagram post, a wave of inspiration washed over me. Ollie's kind words about my artwork sparked an idea in my creative mind. I wanted to capture his spirit in a portrait, to show my appreciation for his encouragement. Excited by the thought, I grabbed my sketchbook and began to visualize the lines and shadows that would bring Ollie's image to life. Pencil in hand, I gently traced the contours of his face, carefully shaping each stroke with precision. While my drawing took shape, a notification popped up on my phone. It was Ollie, reaching out to me directly. My heart skipped a beat as I read his message.

OllieBearman:

Hey Amelie! Your artwork blew me away! Mind-blowing talent you've got there.  Wanna meet up at the race tomorrow? I've got some paddock passes and an invite to the Prema garage. We're shooting a YouTube video with fans, and it'd be awesome if you could join us! Let me know if you're up for it!


Amelie:

Ollie, that's incredible! I'd love to join you! Paddock passes and the Prema garage? Count me in!

It'll be epic to be in the YouTube video! Can't wait!


OllieBearman:

That's what I like to hear! It's gonna be a blast, Amelie.

Prepare for an unforgettable experience!


We continued chatting back and forth, our conversation filled with laughter and teasing. It was refreshing to connect with someone who shared a passion for racing, even if I had only just met Ollie. The more we talked, the more I realized there was a playful chemistry between us.


Amelie:

So, Ollie, spill the tea. Who's your favorite F1 driver?


OllieBearman:

Well, besides me, of course, I'm a big fan of Ayrton Senna.

His skills on the track were insane! How about you?

Amelie:

HUH?? Who tf is Ayrton Senna??


OllieBearman:

REALLY?! YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THE AYRTON SENNA IS?

Had you even heard of me before we crossed paths?


Amelie:

I'll be honest, Ollie. I hadn't heard of you.

OllieBearman:

Haha, I'll take that as a challenge!

Get ready to be converted into a hardcore fan, Amelie! Just you wait.


As our conversation continued, I couldn't help but feel a growing connection to Ollie. There was something undeniably special about our banter, and I found myself eagerly anticipating our meeting at the race. With the portrait of Ollie complete, I carefully placed it in my sketchbook, a symbol of the friendship we were forging. Late into the night, I found myself diving into Prema YouTube videos, wanting to immerse myself in their world and familiarize myself with the team before our visit.
