ON THURSDAYS, the paddock was never overflowing with bodies, which was also the case for today. The four rookies of the 2026 season sat in the Mercedes motorhome as it was the nicest out of the group and the team didn't mind.

"Well wait why don't you sit in the middle?" Liam suggested, getting up so we could swap seats. "Why?"

"Cause you bring the most attention." Paul laughed. Cassie glared at him, but took the seat in the middle anyway.

"We were all thinking it." Ollie joined in. Cassie scoffed a laugh, throwing her hands out. "I don't want to do this video anymore." She joked, making the three guys beside her laugh.

"Wait who's doing the intro?" Paul asked, glancing between the three others. As if planned, they all pointed to Cassie.

She shook her head. "Oh because I'm the girl." Cassie said sarcastically.

Paul laughed then went serious. "Yes."

She sifted through the paddles with their faces on them and found the one with Paul's face. She hit him with it. "Ow!" He yelped, holding onto his arm where his own face made contact.

They could joke like that. They were teammates in f2 for two years and got to know each other quite well.

"Let's just get this going so I can go take a nap." Cassie said.

Liam chuckled. "Is it past your nap time?"

"I think it is." Ollie chimed.

She ignored the both of them. "Okay shush. I'll do the intro."

Ollie, Paul, and Liam all gave each other a look. She noticed but chose not to say anything.

"Hey guys. It's Clarissa."

"And Liam."

"Paul."

"And Ollie."

"And each of us have these little paddles with our faces on them, and we are going to be asked most likely to questions and we'll have to hold up the face of the person we think most matches the statement." Cassie explained.

"For example; who is most likely to miss their nap time and be crabby about it." Paul joked, holding up the board with Cassie's face on it. "Oh my god." Cassie shook her head and Liam and Ollie laughed.

"You ready for the first question?" The f1 worker behind the camera asked. The four of them nodded. "Who is most likely to become a race winner first?"

They all held up the paddle with Liams face on it, except for Liam himself who held up Cassie's.

"He's only saying that to be modest." Ollie pointed.

"No guys actually." Liam laughed while trying to defend himself.

"Who's most likely to forget an important meeting?"

Cassie dropped her head, and held up her own board. The other three did, also. "It was one time! One time because I was eating, okay."
