When all is said and done, it's only history books that remind us of the past. The legends that were true and those that were merely stories. The Legends were no stories and as a new generation of Formula 1 drivers step forward, they are the future...

If he was honest, Aari Verstappen didn't think it was a big deal to be a Formula 1 rookie. Everyone made such a big deal out of it, whether it was how well you'd do, your previous successes or proving you were a good choice. To him, a driver was a driver. You were good or you were bad, end of the story.
He got that attitude from his mother, who was strongly against the idea of luck and believed wholeheartedly in skill and observant. He'd observed the grid before joining and moreso after he had. There was a lot he thought he knew about them.
Williams drivers — Adria García, a Columbian, spent most her time laughing and seemed genuinely nice. She was good at overtaking but struggled to defend; Garrison Mellard, an Australian, was honest with the media and himself, accepted his mistakes and learnt from them.
RedBull drivers — Lily Norris, a British driver with a strong mind, blunt matter of speaking and incredibly quick pace with any car that was capable of it; Mason Jones, an American that hosted a rude and reckless attitude to everything he did which effecting his driving.
Audi drivers — Ethan Wilson, a Canadian, with a calm and kind attitude towards those he spoke to be aggressive and powerful on the track; of courses, Aari himself, who categorised himself as aggressive but smart. He knew he wasn't the friendiest person but he never cared.
Lamborghini drivers — Ingrid Jørgen, a Dane with a Bitchy attitude and seemed to disagree with everyone she came by...but you couldn't deny she had pace on track; Flash Sullivan, an Irishman with a bright smile and positive attitude that complimented his strong defending.
Andretti drivers — Nasir Aguta, a Nigerian that kept to himself unless someone was crying, then he'd panic and try to help, he wasn't the quickest driver but he was a team player. Logan Miller, an American with a feisty attitude that made media take everything out of context but they couldn't deny his skill on the track when it came to overtaking.
Aston Martin drivers — Oliver Bearman, a British driver who was the oldest on the grid but one of the most skilled too; Haruki Tanaka , a Japanese man who was quiet but kind to talk to. He was retiring at the end of the year, having lost some of his confidence in the new generation.
The Alpine drivers — Kaelynn Gasly, a French driver who lacked confidence when she wasn't being praised and often shy but bubbly, she was good on track when she had a good day; Reneé Leclerc, a Monegasque with a fierce attitude to live up to her parents name and had done very well in F2.
The Mclaren drivers — Naya Ahuja, an Indian with a little too much confidence that grew her ego but never once was she unkind. She pulled of bold moves and often surprised people; Fynn Scott, a Scottish driver who just wanted to be left alone to drive and hated when they would give him too many radio messages.
