As the final leg of the tour approached, Jake's excitement grew. He was eager to get back behind the wheel, but he was also grateful for the time he had spent with Olivia. It had given him a new perspective on life and his career. He realised that while racing was his passion, it wasn't the only thing that defined him.

Sophie Phoenix: Hollywood's A-List Sensation

Hollywood is no stranger to overnight success stories, but every so often, an actress emerges whose talent and charisma captivate audiences and critics alike. Sophie Phoenix is one such star. From her breakout role as Cassie Howard in Euphoria to her upcoming role in the highly anticipated Barbie movie, Sophie Phoenix has firmly established herself as one of Hollywood's brightest talents.

London-born Phoenix holds a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from Juilliard School, having completed her education alongside her commitments as an actress. Her path to stardom truly began with her role as Cassie Howard in the first season of HBO's Euphoria, which premiered in 2023. Her portrayal of Cassie, a complex and emotionally charged character grappling with the tumultuous reality of teenage life, earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.

"Playing Cassie was an incredibly transformative experience for me," Sophie said in an interview. "It was my first major role, and it taught me so much about the craft and about myself."

Following her success in Euphoria, Sophie took on the role of Harper Moore in the romantic comedy Set It Up, released in 2024. Her chemistry with co-star Glen Powell was palpable, and the film quickly became a fan favourite.

"Harper was such a joy to play," Sophie reflected, "she's witty, determined, and has such a big heart. It was a great contrast to Cassie and showed a different side of my abilities."
