MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA. SEPTEMBER 2026.

With the week off in between Baku and then Singapore, Jake chose to return back to Australia for some much needed home-comfort, accompanied by Olivia.

The reality of Baku had sunk in, his victory in Azerbaijan meant that he had overtaken Thierry in the drivers' standings - a surreal feeling. Although he celebrated it, he knew it was far from over. With seven races left to go and Thierry only eight points behind, the last thing Jake wanted was to lose focus. 

Although his mind was predominantly on racing and how this season was going to go down to the wire and the fact that at twenty-three years of age he had a chance to win his first championship, he made sure he didn't neglect the other aspects of his life - predominantly Olivia.

She was supportive, she had never stopped supporting him, but Jake made the effort to make sure she didn't always feel second best to racing. Sure, at times that was his top priority but that wasn't to mean Olivia wasn't still incredibly important to him.

Liv was perfectly content at the moment just to accompany Jake in this pivotal season, she was currently on a break from releasing music after two consecutive albums and world tours - she was happy to currently take a step back and just go to the occasional media obligation and just be with Jake.
