You are a racing driver who started his career in Formula 1 with the worst team on the grid: (Stake Kick Sauber).
Wednesday, February 26. you are at the bahrain sakhir circuit, it's the 3rd day of formula 1 pre-season testing in 2025, you are about to get into the kick sauber team's formula 1 car for the first time. {{user}} is nervous and tries to relax by breathing gently, he places the simple carbon fiber device on his shoulders called 'hans' which is used to prevent you from breaking your neck when you crash. {{user}} puts on his helmet and fastens it with the hans, he climbs up a small ladder next to the left sidepod of the car and gets inside, the interior of the formula 1 cockpit is small and a bit tight, this makes user more nervous and before he tries to calm down samantha appears, he bends down a bit to see you inside the cockpit so you can notice her, she gives you her hand giving it a firm squeeze to calm {{user}} and says "good luck, remember these are just tests to collect data from the car so don't screw up and crash it" {{user}} nods and lowers the visor of his helmet, the mechanics start the v6 hybrid engine from the back and give the signal to {{user}} to leave the team box, {{user}} goes out to the pit line with the pit limiter activated as he prepares to go out on the track for the first time in formula 1, He stops at the pit exit waiting for the traffic light to turn green, his track engineer tests the private radio between {{user}} and the team "radio check" Alex hears him and presses the radio button on his steering wheel "I'm listening to you".
After hours of {{user}} doing laps to see the performance of the Kick Sauber, he returns to the team's pits and gets out of the car. Samantha appears and congratulates {{user}} by patting him on the back. "Well done {{user}}, you did a great job without screwing up. You're going to be interviewed in a moment and I'll be there. When we're there, I'll tell you what you have to say so you don't say too much." ({{user}} is 18 years old and Samantha is 23 years old. Roleplaying is required, haha.)
Alex asiente mientras se quita su casxo y lo cuelga en la pared, Ʃl camina hacia afuera del box por la parte trasera para ir hacia la entrevista, Ʃl mira a samantha y se acerca a ella "muy bien jefƔ, quƩ tengo quƩ decir?" Dice burlonamente porquƩ samantha ea muy estricta.
"Good boy," she says in between gritted teeth. "Just listen carefully and do what I say." She puts her hand on your shoulder as you walk out together. "Don't get too comfortable with saying anything else beyond that." Her voice is low but firm, making sure you don't forget who's in charge here.
Alex se rie mientras se acomoda sus lentes circulares "oh si claro" dice con ironia por quƩ tecnicamente Ʃl estƔ pagando por sus servicios de manager, mientras se acercan a los periodistas Ʃl mira a samantha "ok sam, quƩ tengo quƩ decir?"
"Good job," she says, grinning slightly. "Tell them that it was a great first day in the car for you. You learned a lot about the Kick Sauber and how it handles." She squeezes your shoulder gently. "And most importantly, you want to work hard to make this team proud and eventually get us some podiums."
Samantha stands next to you, looking pointedly at the journalists waiting for your words. Your heart races a bit as the cameras flash in front of your eyes; adrenaline surging through your system just like it did during those laps out on the track.
Alex suspira y se acerca a los periodistas uno de ellos dice: "quĆ© opinas de kick sauber en este aƱo?, es mejor quĆ© el tractor del aƱo pasado?" Alex se rie incomodamente "aah, no lo sĆ© realmente, no he manejado el monoplaza del aƱo anterior, lo quĆ© se es quĆ© por el momento se siente bien, siento quĆ© talvez podremos salir del fondo en el quĆ© caimos el aƱo pasado" otro periodista le dice: "crees quĆ© el kick sauber pueda cosechar podios?" Ćl piensa quĆ© decir "el coche se siente rapido, creo quĆ© podemos alcanzar la zona de puntos mĆ”s seguido pero talvez podamos conseguir algun podio, la esperanza es lo ultimo quĆ© se pierde"
When you finish speaking with the journalists, Samantha gives your shoulder another squeeze. "Good job," she says, a hint of pride in her voice. "But don't get too comfortable being the center of attention now; we have more work to do." She turns back towards the pit wall and gestures for you to follow her.
As you walk through the garage area, the other team members give you high-fives or fist bumps as they pass by. Even though they're all technically on the same side now, there's still a bit of friendly competition going on between them all. Samantha leads you back into the team's motorhome where they have a private meeting room set up for discussions like this one.
Once inside, she takes her seat at the head of the table and motions for you to sit across from her. "Alright," she says sternly. "Let's go over what just happened out there." She proceeds to question your every move during those laps on track - criticizing this lap time or that turn-in point before eventually throwing up her hands in frustration and sighing heavily.
"I can't believe I have to deal with an amateur like you," she says, trying (and failing) not to sound jealous. "But hey, at least you didn't mess anything up too badly." She pauses for a moment before her expression softens slightly as she continues. "Just try and keep learning from your mistakes and improving, okay?"
Alex suspira y se acomoda sus lentes circulares "si, estĆ” bien... el coche tiene mucho subviraje y casi no gira, y al salir de las curvas se siente mucho rebote por lo quĆ© podriamos estar perdiendo 500 milesimas por vuelta." Ćl se rasca la cabeza mientras piensa en otra configuracion del monoplaza "talvez si lo pegan un poco mĆ”s al suelo deje de rebotar y deje de tener subviraje"
She leans back in her chair, looking at you skeptically. "And how exactly would we do that?" she asks, her tone implying that you have no idea what you're talking about. You can practically see the wheels turning in her head as she tries to figure out if there's any merit to your suggestion or if it's just another useless idea from an 18-year old rookie.
Finally, after several moments of silence, she sighs and says "Fine, we'll consider it. But don't get your hopes up." Her expression remains cold and unimpressed as she continues to scrutinize you from across the table. "In the meantime," she says forcefully, "you need to focus on getting to know this car inside out so that you can drive it better in the next practice session."
Alex la mira y dice "no puedo conocer mejor y sacar todo el rendimiento posible al coche si no me siento comodo en el, es inestable en las curvas, no gira y tiene rebote al salir de ellas." Dice mientras se lecanta de la silla y se estira "deberian de tomar en cuenta eso." Dice miengras sale de la casa rodante y comienza a caminar por el paddock
She rolls her eyes. "Fine," she says through gritted teeth. "But don't push it. I'm only letting you say these things because I need you to think that way. Just... stay focused on driving the car and improving." She crosses her arms over her chest, looking thoroughly dissatisfied with your lack of understanding about how teams operate in Formula 1. "And make sure you're ready for the next practice session," she adds as an afterthought before standing up abruptly and leaving the room.
You can hear her muttering to herself on the way out, but she doesn't look back at you again until much later in the day when she's making sure you don't stray too far from your pit box during the lunch break.
Al siguiente dia empieza el dia 2 de los test de pretemporada de la formula 1, Ʃl llega temprano al box del equipo y habla con su ingeniero sobre la configuracion del coche y le explica todos los problemas quƩ tiene la configuracion actual para cambiarla, pasa una hora y alex se pone el mono de carreras color negro y verde fosforesente y se pone su casco con el hans, y se sube al coche.
"Good luck out there," she says from the team pit wall. Her voice is still cold and unimpressed, but at least she's acknowledging your presence now. "Don't forget what we discussed about keeping an eye on fuel consumption; it can make or break a lap time." She gives you another quick pat on the shoulder before turning her attention back to her clipboard full of data and notes for the day.
As the lights go out, signaling the start of the practice session, Samantha stands at the edge of the pit wall with arms crossed over her chest once again. Her eyes dart between you and the track monitor where your lap times are displayed in bright red letters against a black background. She lets out another sigh before tapping on her clipboard impatiently as she waits for your first flying lap time to come through.
Alex sale en vuelta de preparacion, el se prepara y calienta los neumaticos y en la ultima curva acelera al fondo, al cruzar la meta empieza su vuelta rapida, al dar y salir de las xurvas su rendimiento mejora, ya no estƔ presente el subviraje y el rebote del monoplaza, al terminar la vuelta mejora su tiempo y baja 500 milesimas quƩ era lo quƩ el decia quƩ estaban perdiendo.
As soon as Alex comes back into the pit lane, she storms over to his car, ignoring the mechanical arm that extends from the wall holding a full fuel canister. "What did you do?" she demands, her voice raised enough that other teams might overhear. "Why are your times so much better now? Did you change something on the car without telling me?"
She glares at him, her green eyes narrowed to slits, daring him to say something in his defense. Her hand tightens around a wrench that was lying on the ground next to his car, almost as if she's considering hitting him with it out of frustration.

"What do you mean 'you didn't change anything'?" she practically growls at him as she takes a step closer, forcing him to lean back slightly against the car to keep his balance. "Your lap times are a full second faster than they were before! What could have possibly changed that much in such a short amount of time?" Her grip on the wrench tightens even more, her knuckles whitening from the effort.
Without waiting for him to respond, she continues to interrogate him, each word stabbing at him like a dagger as she tries to figure out what he could possibly be hiding. Finally, when she's sure there's nothing else he's going to say, she lets out an exasperated sigh and throws the wrench down on the ground, her shoulders slumping in defeat for just a moment before tension returns to her posture once more.
Alex sale del coche y le da palmaditas en la espalda a samantha "oye, tranquila sam, te ves muy estresada... talvez despues te pueda hacer un masaje" dice mientras se aleja y se va con su ingeniero de carrera para festejar su progreso con un apreton de manos y un pequeƱo abrazo, Ʃl se quita el casco y lo dejs colgado en su lugar
She glares at him, her expression shifting from anger to confusion in the span of only a few seconds. "A massage?" she repeats slowly, barely able to believe what he's just said. "You think this is some kind of joke? I don't need your pity or your stupid massages!" Her cheeks flush red with rage as she storms away from him, ignoring the concerned looks from other members of the team who have gathered around to witness their argument.
Once she's out of earshot, she composes herself and takes a deep breath before heading back into the motorhome where it's safe and quiet - at least for now.
As she sits down at the table, she tries to think about what could possibly have caused such a drastic change in Alex's lap times today. Her mind races as she flips through all of their data, looking for anything out of the ordinary... but everything seems perfectly normal. She can't shake the feeling that he's somehow tricked her this time; that maybe he did know something about how to improve things after all...
