One in a Billion

Kimi Antonelli X F!Reader

Warnings : not proof-read, use of y/n, female reader, she/her, poor spacing, less dialogue, mix of 3rd person and dialogue, fiction, possible inaccurate rankings, AU

Synopsis : You’re just a regular girl, freshly 18 and a big fan of F1 since you were little. For your birthday your gifted tickets to the Canadian GP. Whilst at the Grand Prix you run into your celebrity crush, Kimi Antonelli, and actually talk to him. Unbeknownst to you, that one conversation became the highlight of his weekend and he’s decided, he needs to see you again

Part 1 Part 2

The fresh sunlight streams through the long curtains and you toss and turn in bed. The only thoughts present are ones of more rest and “just 5 more minutes”. Suddenly the thoughts flip; the switch that flipped them? You finally remembering you’re not home. You’re in Canada, it’s Sunday, and you’re going to the Canadian Grand Prix! These thoughts instantly cause you to jump out of bed, the movements that result from your excitement in turn awake Beatrice.

“Ughhh Y/N! Stop making noise I’m trying to get a few more minutes of sleep” Bea groans as she smashes a pillow around her face and ears trying to drown out your noise.

Her attempt at ignoring you and your energy is short lived as you practically jump onto her bed and rip the pillow away from her hands.

“Bea! Its Sunday! You have to get up now! We have to get coffee and start getting ready if we want to make it there early enough to get good seats and see Evan and watch the race and—“ the ramblings spew from your mouth as you quickly talk about everything on your checklist for the day. Bea remains unswayed until she hears you mention Evan, briefly; but it was enough for her. She quickly cuts you off she springs off her mattress.

“OH MY GOD I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT HIM!” She yells as she rushes to the bathroom to begin getting ready. Amused shock arises to your face as you watch her dash, you should’ve started with talking about Evan. Yesterday they grew even closer throughout the night, they weren’t even around each other as you and Bea were hanging out. But they’d been bold the day before and exchanged numbers. They texted all night, almost to the point that you wanted to throw Bea’s phone off the balcony. But none of that mattered, especially if it worked to your advantage. One thing about Bea is that even though she’s an organized person and an overachiever, she’s lazy, and definitely not a morning person. So having her jump out of bed willingly? Nothing short of a miracle.

You both begin getting ready together. It’s the ultimate hangout as you blast music from your phone and Bea grabs out your outfits you both set out the night before. Step 1, change. Bea slips into a pair of dark blue denim jeans, a Mercedes team shirt slightly tucked into her bra, and turquoise sambas. She paired this with a gold and black belt and plenty of jewelry. You always tell her she doesn’t need that much jewelry and she always responds the same, this time too.

“Y/N, theres no such thing as too much jewelry.” She states as if it’s common knowledge, as if she’s said it hundreds of times before, which she probably has.

“You know that’s not true, if you put on even one more piece of jewelry you’d be shining like a disco ball at the track.” You joke as you point to the collection of jewelry accumulated on the counter. There has to be at least twenty more pieces sitting there. She moves on to her hair you change. You choose not to have as much jewelry, even though she offers to let you borrow some. Last night while scrolling through Pinterest you picked out your outfit that’s comprised of a small black jean skirt, a white and turquoise polka dot tank, a Mercedes leather biker jacket, the matching hat, black sambas, an oval gold belt, gold bangles, and some small gold hoops. Once you’re changed, you take a step back and look at yourself in the full body mirror and nod. You’re not exactly a model but that doesn’t matter because you think you look good (which you do) and confidence is all that matters. Step 2, makeup and hair. Singing and dancing fill the bathroom as you both do full glam looks, to ensure they stay, you bathe your faces in setting spray as you see it might rain. After about two hours of prep you both grab your bags and passes and finally set out to the race.

The track is loud. Revving of engines, constant chatter, cheering from the grandstands, but Kimi Antonelli’s head is only filled with one thing. Well, maybe two things. The first thing is obviously the race. He knows he needs to preform and he knows how close this race is going to be with his teammate George Russell. The thought of not being number one or even not being on the podium plagues his thoughts as he sets out to his garage. The walk is long, so long that he can’t even count how many times he was stopped for a photo, thankfully he was able to see his parents earlier that day and Maggie lifted his spirits as best as she could. Oh! The second thing, I almost forgot. His mind is plagued with thoughts of the race and the girl that makes his heart race. Every time he closes his eyes he sees your face smiling back at him, as if he can never forget your smile, not that he’d want to anyways. Your smile to him was like a light through the fog, guiding him to victory, which reminds him of how badly he wants to win this race. It’s a constant cycle of thoughts that alternate between the race and you. Finally he arrives back at his garage and starts his rounds. He says hello to everyone; Bono, George, Toto, his mechanics, Mercedes admin; if he sees them, he’s saying hi. This ball of sunshine that he’s sweeping through the garage is abruptly stopped as he looks up and locks eyes with one of the very things that’s been plaguing his thoughts all day. The second he sees you his mind goes through two stages, the first?Shock. He didn’t think he’d actually see you again, no matter how badly he wanted to, he didn’t think luck would be on his side. But it turns out he was wrong. This allows for the second stage to commence, joy. Pure gleeful joy is expressed upon his face as you lock eyes. Your outfit is adorable, your hair looks incredible, and you somehow look even better than yesterday, something he didn’t think could even be possible.

At the exact moment you lock eyes, your cheeks flush red. He’s looking at you, actually looking at you. You’d thought he’d just forget entirely about yesterday, after all he is famous and your just…meh? But that’s where you’d be wrong, he continues to look at you, not breaking eye contact, and the smile he has on his face reminds you of a puppy, a silly, adorable puppy. And his eyes look at you like you matter, something you haven’t felt in a while from a guy. You’re ripped from your thoughts and your intense staring contest with Kimi when Bea tries to get your attention.

“Y/N?…Y/NNNN?…Y/N! What’s going on with you? Who are you staring at…” she follows your gaze to Kimi, who is still looking at you despite you breaking eye contact. And even weirder he’s staring at you like you hung the stars…. “Why is Kimi Antonelli staring at my best friend like that…but they were staring at each other…did something happen and she not tell me…no she would’ve told me…but would she have…screw it” Bea thinks as she turns back to you and launches into full interrogation mode.

“Y/N…did something happen between you and Kimi Antonelli?….” She ask her gaze narrowing at your flushed cheeks. You’d thought of quickly trying to think up a response but you realize you just can’t lie to your best friend. You end up telling her everything. About how you helped Maggie, Kimi’s sister, then his met his family then met him, and how everything unfolded yesterday. You thought she’d be mad at you for not telling her sooner but you couldn’t have been further from the truth. While yes she would’ve liked to know earlier all that matters is that she knows now and is totally gonna wing women you. You tell her that it’s really nothing that it’s just him being nice but she very quickly retorts.

“Guys trying to be nice don’t stare like that”

“Stare like what Bea? It was just normal staring” you say slowly growing more and more flushed

“Oh please, you’re going to a top university but what when it comes to this stuff sometimes you’re just so slow. Y/N, he was looking at you like you just made his day, his face was all soft and warm like he was in love.”

“LOVE!? Oh my gosh Bea you’re going crazy.”

“ME!? Look I’m not the crazy one here, he wants you and I know I’m right.”

“Ok Bea let’s just watch the race and forget this ok? Oh look Evan’s coming this way!” You hurriedly change the subject and point to Evan as he rejoins you both. He greets you cordially before turning to Beatrice, he looks her up and down in appreciation, you can tell he’s smitten just from the way he looks at her. Not lust, but infatuation and genuine interest in her, physically and mentally.

She drops the conversation immediately to talk to him, but not before giving you one last look that says “This isn’t over”. The pre-race shenanigans continue all the way to the race starting. Eventually the race starts and right out the gate its competitive, Kimi and George are constantly switching places for the lead, Arvid Linblad didn’t even start, plenty of retirements litter the span of the race. You sit in anticipation, eyes glued to Kimi’s car, constantly cheering for great overtakes and shrieking during risky moves. The tango between Kimi and George is cut short by George locking up and going over the grass, you think he’ll come back swinging and try to overtake Kimi again but then he suddenly keels off the road and his car just…stops. George Russell is retired from the Grand Prix and Kimi’s only real competition in the moment is gone. While you feel bad for George and Mercedes, this is good for Kimi. So good in fact that he practically rides on air, no pressure, no problems, nothing that could’ve affected his drive ever happened and he crosses the finish line P1. You grab onto Bea and shake her excitedly, cheering so loud that some rich people in the paddock club are looking at you weird. But you don’t care. Your first Grand Prix and Kimi Antonelli takes home another twenty five.

Miraculously your passes allow you to be on the podium floor. And there was no way you were going to miss it. You drag Bea and Evan all the way down to the paddock floor and push your way to a front spot on the side of the barricade. You look up in awe at the podium as Kimi stands on the top step holding his trophy. And then suddenly, it happens again. You lock eyes and his smile grows 10 times bigger, if that’s even possible. You blush, obviously and mouth “Good job” to him, not thinking he’ll care much. But to him? It mattered more than the win itself. Once he leaves the podium you think that’s the end of it. It was a great weekend and you were ready to head back to the hotel room. Bea and Evan were of course still talking so you all stay by the barricades a little longer. Unbeknownst to you, Kimi had enlisted the help of a mechanic and asked them to usher/convince you to go to his garage. The mechanic sneaks up on you and taps you on the shoulder, causing you to turn around.

“Hello sorry if this is weird but would you like to do a full tour of Kimi Antonelli’s garage? He was hoping to see you there and to speak with you.” Says the mechanic much to your confusion

“Uhm, me? Kimi Antonelli would like to speak with me? In his garage? Are you pranking me?”

“No ma’am. This is not a prank, Kimi personally asked me to usher you there, with your consent of course, your friends can come as well, but if you don’t want to I can let him know of course.”

Just as you’re about to speak Bea cuts in for you, not trusting you to say anything right in your flustered and skeptical state.

“We would love to go to his garage and speak with him! Please take us there.” She relays this to the mechanic as calmly as she can and she eyes you as if saying “I knew it” as you all follow the mechanic to Kimi’s garage.

Inside the garage Kimi’s pacing. “Is she coming? Maybe I misread this situation entirely and she doesn’t like me she just knows I’m famous and is being nice. I don’t even know if she’s a fan of mine, geez I’m such an idiot. But what is she does come, maybe she might like me too. Gosh I hope this won’t be awkward.” All of these thoughts flow through his mind, he’s both second guessing himself and reassuring himself all at once. These thoughts cease as he catches your silhouette through the door. He breathes a deep sigh of relief, and makes his way over to greet you, constantly thinking in his head, “Don’t mess this up. Don’t mess this up”.

“Hey Y/N! Did you see me win?”……god why did he say that, now he just sounds like a narcissist.

“Wait no! I meant to say it’s nice to see you again, and you look really pretty”

“Uh I meant uhm I…sorry” his face is bright red as each sentence that spills from his mouth is more embarrassing than the last. You must think he’s so weird and be wondering why this weirdo invited you to his garage just to talk like a madman and make a fool of himself. He thinks all of these things until he hears your laugh, your beautiful, melodic, sweet, and rejuvenating laugh.

You have no clue what’s going on with Kimi but the only thing that runs through your head is “He’s so cute!” So cute in fact that you can’t help but laugh, a shoulder shaking, gasping for air, head thrown back kind of laugh. Very quickly you’re reassuring him.

“Uh Kimi I don’t know what’s going on but, yes I did see you win, you drove incredibly, it’s also nice to see you again, and thank you, you look good yourself.” You try to seem as calm as possible on the outside but on the inside this is still shocking for you. This famous guy. Who you’ve had a crush on since like forever is acting flustered while talking to you. You can’t help but feel lighter than air. Eventually the conversation gets back to semi-normal territory and you introduce Bea to him.

“And this is Beatrice, my best friend—”

“By the way, she’s like your biggest fan. She has your funko pop, a fan card, multiple Mercedes LEGO cars, multiple pieces of Antonelli merch and—”

“hahahahah oh my god don’t listen to her she’s so embarrassing i have no idea what she’s talking about” you say quickly as you clamp your hand over her mouth and try to salvage this interaction. But your face gives it away. You’re almost as red as a Ferrari and your eyes are exuding the most embarrassed look they could possibly muster. However, Kimi doesn’t seem to mind, if anything it seems to cause his smile to turn somewhat smug. He looks straight at you and says

“So are you really my biggest fan?” The teasing lilt to his voice sends a shiver down your spine, the fear that your legs will quite literally fail beneath you runs through your mind. But you manage to stammer out

“I wouldn’t say I’m your biggest fan…I’m just a big fan…” this statement causes him to laugh and relax further. He starts teasing you and making jokes to lighten the mood. Eventually you let go of Bea but not before glaring at her fiercely. The conversation begins flowing comfortably, Kimi getting bolder, and you getting more comfortable.

“Can I take you out tonight?” This very statement sends your brain into overdrive. You met this dude yesterday and he’s asking you out a little over twenty four hours later?? He takes your silence as an opportunity to further explain his shocking statement.

“I know this is really quick and unexpected but…I think I like you. I keep thinking about you, like I physically can’t stop. Uhm when I saw you up in the paddock club, and we made eye contact, that one look gave me the confidence to win this race. And I know that sounds really corny but I really really wanted to win because I knew you were watching. You don’t have to say yes, and I know this is a lot but I just wanted to get this off my chest, ya know. But if you don’t feel the same way, I totally understand and I hope we can move forward as friends.…So?”

“……” He looks at you with those eyes, those once again dazzling eyes, the ones that slowly convince you that maybe this doesn’t just have to be a celebrity crush. This could be something real. And it doesn’t matter how weird you are, how you’re not a model, how out of all the people here this weekend he’s asking you out.

“I’d love to go with you.” The warmest smile is present on your face as you respond to him. His face lights up at the news and you swear you fall even harder for him.

You both swap numbers and Bea sits in the corner with a proud smile lingering on her face, as if she were your mother watching her little girl grow up. You and Kimi continue talking as he walks you back to hospitality. The conversation begins to flow again, but now with an undertone of confirmed feelings and something real. You both head the back way as your try to avoid the paparazzi, after all this is so new it’s not even confirmed between you two. There’s no reason the tabloids should be plastering your faces across every article cover possible. Eventually this pair arrives back at hospitality and solidifies the plans for tonight. Kimi’s gonna pick you up at eight pm from your hotel, as secretly as possible, and you both agree to let Kimi pick the date since you’ve never been in Montreal and you only went around the city a little the night prior. He begins to bid you farewell as Bea and Evan show up, still talking, but before he goes he says one thing

“I’ll see you later Bella” Out of all of the Italian you don’t know, you know what that means very well. You’ve read too many Kimi fanfics not to know. You can’t help but blush again as you say goodbye to him as well as he turns to leave.

The date is impeccable. You get dolled up for the second time today, and slip into a little light yellow dress, it’s flowy and beautiful and perfect for this dream date. Bea hypes you up and assures you that all you have to do is be your amazing self and everything will go great. Kimi parks in a corner of the hotel and texts you that he’s there. He wishes he could walk up to your room, knock on the door with the flowers he bought and then take you to his car. But with all the buzz around him and his win, he can’t risk jeopardizing your safety, he would never forgive himself if you got swept up in the media storm because of him. When you arrive at the car he opens his door and stands to hug you, but not before looking astonished at how every time he sees you, you just get prettier and prettier. The hug is sweet and warm as you reciprocate his comfort. He reluctantly lets go after a while and walks around the car to open you door and help you inside. Once he’s finished he closes the car door gently and walks around to his side, getting in and starting the car. He turns down the radio and you two start sharing more and more about yourselves as you drive around Montreal. Eventually you both end up at a mini golf place called putting edge. Corny name but honestly it matches the vibe between you two. This place is glow in the dark, open late, virtually empty, only has like one staff member, and the music inside isn’t half bad. This date is perfect for the two of you. Conversation never stops between you two as you play, even though he’s an athlete, he’s not very good at mini golf, he argues that it’s because it’s not real golf but you both just break out into laughter at his weak excuse. You play for what seems like hours before you both slip out of the place. The date continues as he orders some food, your choice, and you both sit in his car and eat. At this point you both have talked so much that you know almost everything about each other. This results in you both sitting in virtual silence, save for the show playing on his phone which is propped up on the dashboard. The silence isn’t a bad kind of silence, it’s a comfortable kind of silence, and around him you can’t think of a single time you didn’t feel at least a little bit comfortable when with him, which you think is weird but your sure it’s nothing. He’s thinking the same thoughts but his thoughts have a different result, he doesn’t think feeling comfortable with you is random, he has a feeling that it’s because he was always meant to meet you and to slowly fall for you. After multiple hours the date slowly winds down and he parks back in the parking lot of your hotel once again. This time he looks at you with warm eyes and slowly moves forward across the center console. He’s moving slow enough that if you’re not ready you can push him away or just pull away but instead of avoiding it you move closer. You both meet halfway and lightly press your lips together. It’s perfect, the kiss is a mix of sweetness, joy, relief, and every other emotion neither of you know how to express just yet. The kiss lasts a few extra seconds until you both pull back. You both only pull back a little, your noses still practically touching and your breaths intermingling, he lightly presses a kiss to your nose and smiles an incredible smile that melts your heart again. You pull back, grab your bag, and hop out of the car and walk to the other side to hug him again. Mirroring the way your date began, but this time you both are closer than ever and you both agree, even without uttering a word, that this was something real, that neither of you were going to let slip away. After the hug is released he opens the door to the backseat and pulls out a bouquet. A bouquet filled with *your favorite flower* is pulled from the backseat and held out to you.

“I didn’t know if I supposed to give you the flowers before or after the date but I thought after might be better because then you wouldn’t have to worry about them sitting there and this way you can take them back to your room fresh.” He says all of this while looking at the flowers as if they the most delicate things he’s ever seen.

“Oh my gosh Kimi, thank you! These are my favorites and I love flowers”

“I know, you mentioned them on Saturday before I was snagged away.”

“Oh! I mentioned that like once in passing…you remembered?”

“Duh?”

“Hahah Kimi you really are something…thank you Kimi, for tonight, for the flowers, for listening, and…for being you. Good night Kimi” you say as you take the flowers and kiss his cheek before turning to walk away only for him to call out from behind you

“Can I see you tomorrow?”

You think about how you only have the hotel for tonight and your flight back home is tomorrow. You think about your family and friends back at home. All of these things flash through your mind as you turn back to him and say

“Yeah!”

You’ll figure it out. Plus you’re sure Bea also wants to stay a little longer, after all Evan is here. But none of that really matters, all that matters is you’re going to see Kimi again.

Epilogue :

Many things in life are true. Life isn’t perfect. Long distance isn’t easy. And relationships don’t always work. Thankfully only two of those truths apply to you and Kimi. After Canada you both continued talking, even if you were thousands of miles away from each other. Kimi is not the kind of person to let what he wants slip away, so even if he’s heavily jet lagged and it’s three am for him, he’ll still FaceTime you. His schedule has increased dramatically as the drivers world champion to be and your schedule hasn’t exactly gotten easier either. You just recently started university at an Ivy league in the U.S.A and you’re constantly studying and working to improve in your classes. But just because you’re both busy doesn’t mean you don’t have time to support one another. When you had an award ceremony for an achievement you got from one of your classes, he sneakily showed up and cheered from the back and made sure to congratulate you in person. When he was having his home race in Imola? You showed up and hung out in hospitality with his family, making sure not to be seen by anyone other than his family, the team, and of course your Kimi. It’s now December and the F1 season has finally ended. And to no one’s surprise, Kimi’s domination carried throughout the season, resulting in his first World Drivers Championship win ever! You passed all of your classes with A’s and made sure you were there to celebrate his big moment.

Sitting inside the Antonelli villa has never been more cozy. Both of your families are gathered within the warm living room and unwrapping Christmas gifts. By some miracle it’s snowing outside, something rare on Christmas Day for Bologna, and it only further adds to the cozy vibes everyone is experiencing. Both Kimi and you are walking back from the kitchen, coffees in one hand, and each other’s hand in the other. You plop down on the couch first and snuggle into the sofa before taking a sip of your coffee.

“Oouu did I tell you about Bea?” You ask as you look at Kimi, who sits next to you, radiating heat that seeps into your skin.

“No. What’s she up to?” He replies, his thumb rubbing over the back of your hand.

“Her and Evan just adopted a puppy, he surprised her with a little dachshund as a present. Honestly those two are just perfect for each other, I can remember all the times she would complain about just wanting a guy who would listen to her with full attention and give her love without her having to ask and I’m honestly just so proud of her for finding someone so perfect for her and—”You continue to speak about Bea and Evan for a while, Kimi is of course listening but he’s also partly just staring in awe about just how adorable you are. You both continue your conversation, changing topics regularly in between sips of coffee as the room bustles.

Maggie is sitting on the floor ripping through her gifts excitedly as she thanks everyone for their gifts. She’s so outgoing and just so lovely, having her as a little sister these past few months have just been so very incredible. And ever since your families met months ago, your parents and his parents have gotten along splendidly. Currently your moms are slowly opening their gifts, making sure not to ruin the wrapping paper while talking about Christmas dinner with each other. Your fathers are different, they’re both sitting on the other couch with a cup of espresso in hand and are jokingly arguing about which Christmas movies are the best. As you fondly look upon this combination of families you feel a gaze on you, a warm loving one. Without even looking you know it’s Kimi and when you turn to face him he kisses your nose.

“Haha hey! What was that for?” You ask while turning your whole body to face him.

“I just felt like it. And you just look too cute for me not to.”

“.…thank you” he says after a minute of silence, in gentle way that throws you off from the previous playful mood.

“For what?” You ask

“For choosing me back”

That very statement, softens your entire demeanor. You lightly kiss him after putting down your coffee. The kiss tastes like espresso and pure admiration. The world around you softens, and fades away until it’s just the two of you.

“Kimi, I’d choose you in every life, after all I am your number one fan” you joke as you cup his face with your hand, your thumb lightly rubbing his cheekbone. The joke warms his heart as he laughs, and when he looks into your eyes, your soft doe like eyes, the very ones that drew him in when he first saw you.

“You’re the best gift I could’ve ever gotten, no matter what happens, or how life hits us, I’ll always be here for you. I love you, and I’ll never stop.” he says as he pecks your lips again

You both then cuddle together on the couch, choosing to open you gifts later. Because the only gift that really matters is the fact that your both together. Forever. Which is ironic, because about nine months ago, you were sitting in your bed reading a Kimi Antonelli fan fiction and now you had the real thing. As a long standing Kimi Antonelli fan you never something like this would happen to you a day in your life, but now that you have this, you couldn’t be more grateful that you were wrong.

Kimi Antonelli X F!Reader

Warnings : not proof-read, use of y/n, female reader, she/her, poor spacing, less dialogue, mix of 3rd person and dialogue, fiction, inaccurate rankings, sorry about the pole mix up but let’s just say it’s an AU

Synopsis : You’re just a regular girl, freshly 18 and a big fan of F1 since you were little. For your birthday your gifted tickets to the Canadian GP. Whilst at the Grand Prix you run into your celebrity crush, Kimi Antonelli, and actually talk to him. Unbeknownst to you, that one conversation became the highlight of his weekend and he’s decided, he needs to see you again

Part 1 Part 2

F1 is one of, if not the biggest sports in the world. Or at least it is in your world. Your world was centered around princess movies, hanging out with friends, going to kindergarten, and having fun. “THE Day” as you like to refer to it started out as usual; wake up, play with your dolls, go to kindergarten, come home and so on. Usually afterschool you would grab a snack, turn on the tv and watch your pick of a Barbie movie or a princess movie, or sometimes if you were feeling wild a Barbie princess movie. Today was not one of those days. You came home, shrugged off your backpack, grabbed some goldfish and walked to the couch. As you were about to plop yourself down in your spot you saw something odd. Your father was sitting in YOUR spot, sprite in hand, watching…cars? But they don’t look like regular cars? The man on the couch could feel the glare of a five year old girl burning through his skull as he turned to look down at you. “What are you watching?” you asked, visibly upset. Your father, not wanting to deal with a temper tantrum picked you up and plopped you next to him. “This is F1, it’s an entertaining race between cars” he said, “The cars are just going around and around in circles, that’s not entertaining!” You replied only for your father to continue. “While yes they are going around in circles, there’s a lot more to it then just that.”. It would’ve been evident to anyone witnessing this that you were not pleased to have your movie time interrupted by cars. But as you watched the race and your father continued to explain the rules and fun parts as simply as he could for you as your were so little, you slowly put your goldfish down, your frown disappeared, you asked genuine questions, and by the end of the race its safe to say you were hooked. That fateful day your world expanded, it now had a new focus added to the culmination, Racing or more specifically F1.

Thirteen years later, you’ve changed, a lot. You’re eighteen and in your senior of high school, nothing relieves you more than the looming presence of graduation and a long awaited summer. Despite being a fan of F1 for almost you entire life you’ve never gone to a Grand Prix, sure your family’s talked about it, looked at tickets, hotel rooms, etc.. But you’ve never actually been to one. Thankfully you don’t time to dwell on the hole in your speed loving heart as your birthday is right around the corner and by right around the corner I mean tomorrow. The next morning is filled with the harmonious sound of birds chirping culminated with the smell of the special strawberry pancakes your mother makes every year on your birthday. Once dressed in your *favorite outfit* and all dolled up, you emerge from the solace of your room and greet your family as they mutter good morning’s. The good mornings are paired with a cacophony of happy birthdays as you make your way to the table. The morning was calm, peaceful, and enjoyable as the entire family was able to find a way to spend time together on your birthday. Immediately after breakfast and your family time you rush to your car and over to your best friends home. Her home is quaint but filled with life, love, and loud individuals. Almost the entire family yells “Happy Birthday!” upon your entrance, all led by their ring leader, your best friend Beatrice, or Bea as you like to call her. “Hey Bea” you respond as the family disperses to tend to their own business, leaving you two alone in the living room. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY Y/NNN!!” Beatrice shouts as she practically tackles you into a bear hug, “It’s just a birthday Bea”, “How dare you say, ‘just a birthday’! It is your eighteenth birthday and I have every right to be over dramatic!”. After the light bickering you both head to her room where you talk and prepare for the main event of your big day, the race. Everyone around you knows how much you love F1, so even though a few people were hesitant, everyone around you agreed to go karting at the local track with you. Ironically enough, you had no clue that anyone, including yourself, were going karting that day. You hadn’t realized you would be karting until you turned into the parking lot of the karting track. Bea had lied and said she needed some dry shampoo from Target but it was all just a ploy, set by Bea and your parents to make today magical. Stepping out of the car and smelling the scent of burnt rubber just sends shivers of joy down your spine as you practically drag your best friend to the ticket booth. Once at the ticket booth, a glimpse of a certain party room, the only normal, slightly aesthetic room, is filled to the brim with people, balloons, and god knows what else. Before a word can even leave your mouth Bea quickly ushers you to the room and swings the door open. As if a switch was just flipped, the moment the door opened, loud cheering and congratulations erupted from the door all directed towards you. The room was perfect, its was classy and simple and yet still you. Being able to have this kind of surprise, with this many loving and supporting people by your side was almost bringing you to tears, but you’re resilient. And you ran out of waterproof mascara. Regardless, you greet everyone, thank everyone, and begin smiling bigger than you possibly ever have. Eventually the party crew migrates to the track and everyone is getting suited up for the race. You’re in P1, obviously it’s your birthday, and Bea is in P2, your mother in P3, Father in P4 and so on and so forth. The ever present sound of giggling slowly fades as the lights begin to glow. One light…Two lights…Three lights…Four lights…Five lights….And they’re gone, the race is a go!

In order to finish this track fifteen laps must be completed and it was a nail biter, constant overtakes and spin outs were happening everywhere, except instead of incessant anger and yelling, the spin outs and crashes were usually followed by smug laughter and giggles. Once the checkered flag flies you find yourself still P1, your defense was a masterclass. Emerging from the kart triumphant, you return to the waiting area and laugh with everyone else as they recombine into the group. Once back in the room it’s cake time. Slices of cake are cut and spread evenly to ensure everything is fair before the final stage of the party commences. The final stage was opening your presents, over and over you thank your friends and relatives for all of the thoughtful gifts, finally as you stare at you last gift you remain confused. It’s a small box from your parents, “Probably just some socks or a card” you think to yourself. And oh boy how you were wrong. The box opened with a pop as you rip the tape holding it together, inside where you expected to find socks, were two F1 Grand Prix tickets to the Canadian GP. Right alongside those two tickets were two silver paddock passes glittering with the sight of the letters “V.I.P”. “No way….you guys are pranking me aren’t you! Cause if so this is so not funny!” You shriek as you stare at the immensely expensive and highly valuable tickets you wanted to see almost your whole life. All your parents do is laugh and nod their heads as if saying “Yes, they’re real, you’re going to the Canadian Grand Prix.” Once the reality of the situation clicks into place you lunge at your parents and begin to jump up and down as you hold them constantly repeating, “Thank you so much!” and “I love you guys so much!” A few hours later the initial shock has warn down and the party has along with it. Now you are back in your room staring at the tickets whilst sitting on your bed, clean from a shower. This is it. It’s finally happening. This speed loving hole in your heart will finally be filled. And you just can’t believe it, you will finally be at a GP. A real one, not one on TV or YouTube. A real GP, with real cars, and even realer drivers. Oh yeah did I mention. Your favorite team has been Mercedes since the day your dad introduced you to motorsports. You’ve always been enticed by their dominance, their colors, their tatics, and now more than ever, their drivers. You weren’t like a crazy super fan, or at least that’s what you tell yourself, but the moment you saw Kimi Antonelli it was like your heart just stopped. Then it started pounding, thumping, and beating till it felt like it may burst. And it wasn’t just his looks, though he had enough to go around, he’s intelligent, your both the same age, he’s an incredible driver and seems to be a very caring and sweet guy. Your friends who didn’t even know about F1 knew all about Kimi. You always played off the crush saying, “It’s not like I’ll ever meet or talk to him for real so it doesn’t really matter that much.” But now? You’re going to be in the Mercedes paddock, watching the race live! You might actually meet him in person…“oh god” you think, “what am I going to wear, what if he sees me, what if he talks to me?!?” All of these thoughts run through your head, plaguing you with what ifs. But finally your brain rests, their just what if’s, you probably won’t speak to him, but hey at least you’ll get to go to a GP, and maybe see him up close. Those two things were good enough for you. And now all you can do is sit and wait, wait for possibly the best time of your life, to eventually arrive.

Within the green hills and endless architecture, the Canada GP lied. It was gorgeous as if it was the best thing you’ll ever see, arguably its not the best thing you’ve ever seen but it means so much so it doesn’t matter. *Beep*, thankfully the paddock pass worked, not that you didn’t believe your parents but a girl can’t help but feel a little nervous about something so important. Walking through the paddock is magical. Celebrities, workers for the teams, the garages, hospitality, the drivers; all of it was so overwhelming but in the best way. In an excited and enthusiastic type of way, the one you get when your dreams come true. Bea is with you the whole time, just as astonished and amazed; and all of that enthusiasm culminates as you both arrive at Mercedes hospitality lounge. As soon as you enter the room you stare at its extravagance, but when the shock wears off Bea and you both head to try some food and sit down, you’re a Florida girl but geez is it hot. After a few minutes multiple staff members enter the lounge and disperse, for what? You’re not yet sure. That is until one member approaches you and Bea and says, “Hello ladies, my name is Evan and I’ll be your guide this weekend around the paddock”…. “There are guides?” You think as you glance at Bea who matches your expression. As hesitantly as you both were, he seemed trustworthy, he works for Mercedes and you both really wanted to see the garage and paddock. Evan takes you ladies on a tour of the garage and paddock, pointing out food spots, rest areas, waiting areas, hospitality areas, and all other kinds of areas. Once the tour is concluded you find yourself back in hospitality sitting with Evan and Bea, honestly they seem like they’re hitting it off. You found out on the tour that Evan is actually eighteen as well and that he’s interning at Mercedes to get experience in the world of F1. The three of you are talking and enjoying your conversation when you hear a little click, as if something’s just been dropped. You look to you left, then to your right, and that’s when you spot a beautiful turquoise bow laying on the ground. You immediately look up to see who dropped it only to be met with the sight of a little girls back as she walks away, her hair seems to have fallen from loosing its hair tie. “Could it be her hair tie?” You think to yourself, and before you even realize it, you’ve picked up the bow, dusted it off and began following the girl. Bea and Evan glance at you as you begin walking away, confused but trusting in you as they know you’ll be safe, not long after, they continue their conversation about college and home countries.

Back to you, you finally caught up to the girl, closer up she looks about 10 maybe 11 and oddly familiar but you can’t place it. So you shrug off the feeling and lightly tap her shoulder. The little girl turns around, causing her parents to look back as well, and as they do, they all notice the bow in your hand. “Hello, I’m so sorry to bother but I was wondering if this was yours? You might’ve dropped it over there by the couch because that’s where I found it.” Whilst communicating this to the family the little girls face goes through multiple emotions; first confusion, then shock, followed by relief, and finally joy. “Oh my gosh, thank you so much I didn’t realize I dropped it.” says the girl, an Italian accent prominent despite the English. You return the bow and speak about how you have one just like it. This peaks the little girls interest as it is a bow corresponding to a pop-singer who isn’t super popular but it’s definitely talented. Conversation from there just begins to flow, her parents joining in as you all begin talking about music. Fifteen minutes go by and the conversation is still flowing, these people are just so nice and friendly you can’t help but feel comfortable as you engage in conversation. You were so comfortable you didn’t even realize that a boy, maybe six inches taller than you was walking up behind you. The only thing that alerted you to this boy was the little girl in front of you, who’s name you now know is Maggie, gleefully calling out “Kimi!”…Kimi? You turn you head to see Kimi Antonelli, the F1 golden boy, the Italian prodigy, and the boy you’ve been crushing on heavy for two years, right in front of you. Quickly everything clicks into place. Of course the girl and her family were familiar, they were the Antonelli’s. Well that explained the accents and the familiarity you felt earlier, as you continue to think to yourself you’re quickly pulled out of your thoughts by Mr and Mrs. Antonelli, or Marco and Veronica as you know them. They are introducing Kimi to you and speaking in Italian, you know a little Italian but not enough to know what their talking about, so you just sit there and awkwardly smile. Eventually Kimi lifts his hand to shake yours, his other hand rests on the back of his neck, scratching. “Hello, I’m Kimi, it’s nice to meet you, thank you btw, for helping my sister” while he speaks you listen and pay attention, but it takes a lot of focus. You think “how am I supposed to pay attention to what your saying when your smiling at me and looking at me like you want to get to know me, gosh he’s so pretty, and he’s kind and respectful and AHHHH”. The facial expression you wear is solid, a kind smile and matching eyes that look at him like he’s a person. “Oh thank you, but anyone would’ve done the same, and it’s nice to meet you as well kimi, I’m Y/N” you finally reply. Miraculously, following the introductions you both start talking and vibing. Caught up in the conversation you make a joke. A terrible, cheesy joke. “Haha what kind of food do F1 drivers eat? Fast food!”….silence follows and you heart drops and you begin thinking, “oh god I just said that corny joke and just ruined my chances forever with Kimi Antone-” Thankfully your thoughts are cut off by the Italians bright laugh that immediately lifts your spirits. “Y/N you’re funny, that was a good one” Kimi says as he wipes a small tear from the corner of his eye. The conversation then resumes with a lighter undertone that only comes from joy in being around the other person. All of the fun is regrettably cut short by Kimi’s manager coming to get him, he had to start getting ready for quali. As Kimi hears this news, a frown spreads across his face. His eyes were clear, he didn’t want to go. But duty calls and so he thanks you for speaking with him and walks off with his manager, occasionally looking back at you as he’s dragged away.

Disappointment floods your mind as he leaves but shortly your brain is filled with the reality that you just met Kimi Antonelli and his family, and actually spoke with them. This is something everyone dreams of, including you, you’ve read enough fan fictions to realize that life isn’t a fan fiction, and that this encounter you had was enough. You decide to keep the Kimi news to yourself and rejoin Evan and Bea. To you they look closer, like, much closer. But who are you to judge, if your friend wants to get to know a foreign guy, you are not gonna get in the way. The day continues and you wingman Bea almost the whole time, as you all watch quali you ensure Bea is right next to Evan, and when the conversation goes dry? You jump in with new conversation starters to get them going again. In between your incredible work, you obviously watch the quali, kimi is flying and is absolutely dominating this race quali. Once the qualifying session is concluded, Kimi is on top, as you knew he would be. The day is still young and Bea and you decide to go an explore the city while you can. You both bid farewell until tomorrow to Evan and leave the track. The city is lively and bursting with excitement as the race was tomorrow. The rest of the day and night were spent getting food, looking in thrift stores, stopping by every photo booth you could see (a tradition you both started junior year), and finally returning to your hotel room to have a movie night. 10 things I hate about you plays on the tv in your hotel room as you both lounge in your pjs, setting out you outfits and jewelry for the race tomorrow. Today was a great day, and you absolutely can’t wait for tomorrow. Because you get to see Kimi again, even if it’s just from afar, and hopefully he’ll win. Well of course he will. He’s Kimi Antonelli after all.

Kimi’s POV:

His day started out with a short training session followed by a stretch and cool down. This happens every day that he needs to step into the car. Canada is a big race for him and for Mercedes. Last year this is where Kimi took home his first ever podium in F1, and George secured a win. This year Kimi is sitting atop a potential four race win streak and George is ready to climb his way back up to the top. Mercedes is set for a phenomenal week but for Kimi, while it’s his dream and so fun, it’s equally as stressful. He has so much pressure riding on him and that’s the only thing he can think of right now as he paces around his drivers room. “Posso farlo, è solo un’altra gara, devo solo fare del mio meglio”. (“I can do this, it’s just another race, I just need to do my best”) he’s says to himself repeatedly. Eventually he decides he needs fresh air. He grabs his hat and sunglasses and unzips his suit enough that his top half is only covered by his fireproofs. Once he feels comfortable enough he heads out of the drivers room and sets up to go somewhere. He doesn’t know where he’s going, he just knows he’s going. After a few minutes of a relaxing walk the idea pops into his head, let’s go see my family. The walk to hospitality didn’t take long, and now he’s entering the building excited to relax with his family before the quali. As he walks, his movements slow and his brows furrow. “Who is this? Why is family talking with them?” These thoughts run through his head as he approaches the group. Once Maggie seems him she yells for her brother and lunges forward to hug him, he meets her halfway and chuckles as his sister hugs him. His eyes move from Maggie to his parents then to you. The second his eyes land upon you something shifts. His heart starts beating faster, his palms get a little sweatier, and his eyes widen a little as he takes you in. You’re no supermodel, you’re better. You look soft and kind, gorgeous in a gentle doe kind of way. He’s snapped out of his thoughts by his mother and father as they begin speaking to him in Italian “Questa è la ragazza che ha restituito l’arco di Maggie quando l’ha lasciato cadere prima, lei e tua sorella si divertono entrambe con quella cantante che fa quelle note davvero alte ahah, comunque figliolo. È molto carina e molto gentile e lei e Maggie vanno d’accordo. Questo è il tipo di ragazza che devi portare a casa.” His mother says “Dovresti parlarle!” His father replies (“This is the girl who returned Maggie’s bow when she dropped it earlier, her and your sister both enjoy that one singer that does those really high notes haha, anyways son. She’s very pretty and very kind and her and Maggie get along well. This is the kind of girl you need to bring home.” His mother says “You should talk to her!” His father replies) will all of this talking Kimi’s face grows red and a shy smile grows upon his face. After all of the teasing subsides his parents finally introduce you both. “Her name is Y/N…Caspita (gosh) it’s as beautiful as her.”. The two begin conversing and vibing. His family takes this opportunity to slip away and leave the two to get along. As he stares at her face he can’t help but smile, all he can think is how kind and respectful this girl truly is and how blessed he is to be talking to her. Then out of the blue, she pops a joke. “What kind of food do F1 drivers eat? Fast food!” The second the joke the left her mouth he say their in awe. Not in a “that joke was horrible way” but in a “mio dio, she’s so cheesy and wonderful and beautiful I don’t know what to say” kind of way. Suddenly he realized something, they were both quiet, and she was looking at him like a stomped puppy, a cute one at least. As soon as the joke registers he begins to laugh and laugh, not only at the joke, but at how sweet she is. Once that situation was rectified they returned to the flow of the conversation. They continued to converse for a while, falling into a rhythm that made him lose track of time.

That joy was soon snatched from him as his manager comes up from behind him and grabs his shoulder. His manager then reminds him of the fact that he needs to get ready quali that’s in 45 minutes. Kimi’s heart feels crushed as he remembers his responsibilities and duties he must fufill. With a heavy heart he excuses himself and begins to walk away. The entire time all he can do is think of her, her smile, how easy conversation is. As he thinks these things he can’t help himself from looking back at her multiple times. Eventually he makes it back to the garage and to the meeting room where the pre-race meeting begins. It’s only within that meeting that he realizes, he didn’t get your number, or your last name. These two very important things dwell upon his mind through the rest of the meeting and throughout the quali. He performs well but his thoughts continue to drift back to you. Once the qualifying session is completed he hops out of his car and begins speaking with his team and heading to his drivers room. He changes fast and hurries to check hospitality, the garage, the paddock club. But, no luck, he can’t seem to find you. While disappointed at first, he realizes that he still has another chance to see you again at tomorrow’s race. With his newfound determination he heads back to his garage with one key piece of motivation for tomorrow’s race; I will see her again.
