—
You and your best friends were practically paddock celebrities at this point.
Ever since 2022, you had attended almost every Formula One Grand Prix together. You had become familiar faces throughout the paddock, knowing team members, photographers, hospitality staff, and even the drivers themselves. Everyone recognized your little group, and it wasn't unusual for people to stop you for conversations or ask where you had been if you missed a weekend.
But there was another reason everyone knew you.
Your style.
You and your girls had developed a reputation for being some of the best-dressed people in the paddock. The funniest part was that you all had completely opposite styles. One could show up in a glamorous designer outfit, another in something effortlessly casual, and another in a completely different aesthetic. Somehow, every single one of you always looked incredible.
But October was everyone's favorite month.
Every Halloween, your group arrived at the Grand Prix in elaborate costumes. It had become an annual tradition, and people throughout the paddock genuinely looked forward to seeing what you would come up with.
And this year, you had decided to make it particularly special.
Not only was it Halloween, but it was also the final day of October. You had qualifying to attend, an entire paddock to walk through, and one particular Mercedes driver you were hoping would notice your costume.
Kimi Antonelli.
He knew you and your friends well by now. You had crossed paths countless times since your first seasons attending races, and he was always friendly whenever you saw him.
But he had absolutely no idea what you were planning for Halloween.
