It has been three weeks since I signed that contract with Prema after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and every day I have had to pinch myself to check it was real. Ever since it was released officially by Prema, my life has changed.

I got shipped off to Italy, gained around 90,000 followers on all of my social media platforms and even had people ask me for autographs. I was in awe that this is how much fame a measly F2 gal could get, let alone being a famous F1 driver like Lewis Hamilton or my mentor, the Aussie Daniel Ricciardo.

I woke up at 4am to the sound of my phone buzzing. I forgot about the alarm... I forgot I need to be at Prema HQ! I rushed out of bed and had a shower, then got ready, screw breakfast, I am sure Prema's Headquarters will have something for lunch. I jumped in a cab and then I was off.

It was insane, I got to see all the F3 cars, meet all the pit crew, have lunch with my new team principle and of course, see my new ride for the 2023 season.

It was beautiful. The Prema livery was full of the Italian Tri-Colour and the Ferrari Academy influence just added more.

"You will meet your teammate Ollie tomorrow. I can tell you are excited." My engineer said with a chuckle, as I took a photo of every little detail I saw.
"It is time to head back to your hotel. Remember, 10am sharp. It is important for you to get to know your teammate."

I set an alarm on my phone for 9:30am and got a taxi back to the hotel. My god what a busy day it has been.
