The all-Italian weekend of the Italian Grand Prix is upon us and the fans are ready to paint Monza with the colour that unites and unites them, red, which shines under a single sign: Ferrari
Thursday was media day and drivers began to enter the paddock to give interviews and sign the cap of some lucky fan; Kimi Antonelli will be making his debut in the first free practice session, and Franco Colapinto who will replace Logan until the end of the season, before leaving the place to Carlos next year

Antonelli was already in the Mercedes box talking to manager Toto Wolff, while time was ticking by

Toto: I think you'll do well with our car, then you'll have Lewis or George explain everything to you, but you can also ask me, of course
Kimi: okay, I'll try to handle everything as best I can and I won't disappoint her...
George: hello everyone!

George entered the box, dressed in a cool but unwearable way (if you've seen his outfit, you know what I'm talking about)

Toto: well, from now on you'll take him as your mentor, *beats his chest* he'll more or less explain to you how to be in formula one for the first time, okay?
Kimi: ok
Toto: okay, see you later

Toto took leave of the two boys; the debutante looked at Russell

Kimi: so...what do we do?
George: come with me, young man

The English guy took Antonelli with him to his driver's room, so that they could be a little more private

George: *comes in* this is my room, stand wherever you want

For the Italian boy it was already too tidy for his tastes...but despite that he settled in well and sat on the sofa

Kimi: wow, that's really comfortable
George: haha, you don't know how many people have been sat on it
Kimi: excuse me?
George: *He turns around suddenly* nothing...*takes off his shoes* so, here in Formula One there are three words that you will always have to keep in your head
Kimi: and what are they?
George: G-Force, head and...uh, how could I say it in italian...
Kimi: do you mean "cazzimma " (great determination and self-esteem)?
George yeah, that...*walking randomly in the room* as you well know, while driving a single-seater our body is subjected to stress including the "G-Force" on the neck parts; if you haven't trained it enough there's the risk of having some physical problems...after all you will experience it more than your category, right?
Kimi: yes yes, in fact I often train for these things here, just to not have those problems there, eheheh
George: hmhm, how cute you are
Kimi: oh...thanks, you are too, even if I don't think that stuff suits you...
George: oh, you say that? *sighs* I know, it's 30 degrees and I'm boiling but you know how it is, sponsor *grimace* ok then...head. In our category, using your head is very important, since there are several drivers who don't have one, like a certain Max or Charles...tzz, details; the head is also important because you can organize YOUR race based on how you are doing with the tyres, like a "tyre whisperer"
Kimi: got it...but what is a "tyre whisperer"?
George: a driver who manages to keep a certain set of tyres until the end of the race from the last pit stop he made...but anyway, you also have to learn not to risk too much or you make mistakes that can even cost you the victory
Kimi: hm, ok...I think I'm starting to understand something
George: well, I'm happy for you. Why did I say "cazzimma" as a "third word"? Well...*sits down next to the Italian guy* nowadays, Kimi, you have to learn to assert yourself; here you can talk to anyone but if you meet the wrong people, one wrong sigh can change your reputation forever
Kimi: uhm...ok, but who for example?
George: It's a long story, we'll talk about it next year...
Kimi: hm, okay...oh! What's that?

In a moment of distraction, he took a cute, small blue box hidden behind the sofa

George: *he snatches it from Kimi's hands* nothing that interests you
Kimi: come on, let me see it...I won't tell anyone, I promise
George: I don't think you'll like it...
Kimi: pleeeease 🙏🙏🙏
George: fiiiine, *passes it back to him* here you go
