When Eighteen-year-old Eilidh McGowan lands a seat at Hass, she becomes the only female driver on the Formula 1 grid and the first Scottish woman in the sport's modern era. With fierce ambition, natural talent, and a childhood spent karting through the backroads near Stirling, she's ready to take on the world. But nothing can prepare her for the chaos, pressure, and spotlight that comes with the pinnacle of motorsport.
Luckily, she's not alone.
Her best friend Ella O'Donohue joins the team as her social media manager - unofficial hype-woman, stress manager, and chaos coordinator. Then there's her unexpectedly charming teammate, Oliver Bearman: fellow rookie, deceptively fast, and somehow always next to her when things get messy... or funny... or a little too flirty.
As the season takes them from glittering paddocks to roaring crowds and tense qualifying battles, Eilidh must navigate media storms, sexist critics, team politics, and the pressure to prove herself, not just as a driver, but as someone who belongs.
Because she's not just racing for points.
She's racing for her name, her dream, and every girl who's ever been told she couldn't.
"I think i've loved you since i've met you. i just mistook it for curiosity."
