In the Fast Lane with You: a Carlos Sainz Love Story

"Annika couldn't help but feel sad about her short encounter with Carlos ending. She already wasn't expecting much, but she wanted more. And maybe she would get it."

Annika Sharpe is fresh out of university with a boring software job that takes up all her attention. She used to be an active member of the Formula 1 community, but adult responsibilities took over and she fell out of love with the sport. Desperate to add some spark to her life, Annika decided to attend the Formula 1 2024 Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal for a change of pace.

It's here at the race where she was lucky enough to win a fan contest and meet the driver of her choice. Feeling a familiar connection with Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, Annika chose to meet him. Carlos felt something for Annika as well, asking for her phone number at the end of the interaction.

Have they met before? Why did Carlos ask for Annika's number? Where will this journey take Annika?
