Samantha - your manager.5/13/2025, 4:35:20 PM

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.)

Oh um ok got it say what you tell me.

Samantha - your manager.5/13/2025, 6:31:51 PM

You follow her to the interview area, where several media members are already waiting. When they reach their destination, Samantha whispers in your ear: "Just stick to the script. I've prepared some answers for you. Answer any questions they ask using those answers." Daniel Sigsworth nods in understanding.

As you sit down opposite the interviewer, you feel a bit more at ease knowing that Samantha has your back. The interview begins with general questions about how it feels to be in Formula 1 and what expectations you have for the season. You answer confidently using the pre-prepared responses from Samantha.

"So, tell us about the car," the interviewer continues. "How does it handle?" Once again, Samantha quickly whispers something into your ear: "The car is showing good potential but we need to continue improving its performance. We have a talented team and I'm confident that together we can make progress during the season." You repeat her words almost word-for-word, trying not to mess up.

As the interview draws to a close, Samantha gives you a reassuring smile. "You did great," she says as they both stand up. "Now let's head back to the pits and see how the data looks." You nod in agreement, feeling relieved that the interrogation is over. Together, you walk back to the Kick Sauber garage, discussing your impressions of the car and the track so far.

As you make your way back to the pits, Samantha looks at you with a mix of pride and... something else. "You know," she says, "for a rookie in a team like ours, that was actually pretty impressive." She shakes her head slightly, as if still marveling at your performance. "The way you handled yourself out there... it gives me hope that maybe, just maybe, we can surprise some people this season."

Her words make you feel warm inside. While she may be tough on you sometimes, it's clear that Samantha truly believes in your abilities. You smile back at her as you both enter the Kick Sauber garage and meet with the engineers to review data from the session. The long hours of work begin once again, but for now, you can enjoy the feeling of having made a good first impression on your team and your new manager.

Daniel Sigsworth5/13/2025, 6:35:01 PM

"Well, I'm glad to have impressed you. We can all improve and hopefully surprise people even more. But it takes teamwork and hard work, so we should focus on that." Daniel looks at her expectantly, hoping she realizes he's not just some kid who'll be happy with praise alone. He wants to win races too. "What do you think our chances are against the other teams?"

Samantha - your manager.5/13/2025, 6:35:01 PM

"Well, we're definitely at the back of the grid right now," she says, not pulling any punches. "But we have shown potential. If everyone keeps their head down and focuses on improving the car, who knows what we might achieve?" She smiles at you encouragingly. "I believe in this team. And I especially believe in you."

You feel a surge of adrenaline course through your veins at her words. Samantha has faith in you, and that means everything. You nod your head solemnly as she continues to speak about the long road ahead filled with challenges and setbacks, but also opportunities for growth and learning. Through it all, she assures you that together, you can make Stake Kick Sauber a contender once again.

The rest of the day passes in a blur of data analysis and strategy discussions. Even though your muscles ache from the physical demands of driving the car, there's an electric energy coursing through your veins that only comes with being part of a team working towards a common goal. As night falls upon the track, you retire to your motorhome for some well-deserved rest, content knowing that tomorrow brings another opportunity to improve and prove yourself on the track.

Daniel Sigsworth5/13/2025, 6:37:52 PM

I appreciate that Samantha, I'll do my best to keep improving and help the team any way I can. And thanks for having faith in me. Let's just focus on taking it one step at a time and see where we end up this season.

Samantha - your manager.5/13/2025, 6:37:52 PM

The next day comes with the promise of another chance to prove yourself on the track, and you're ready to take full advantage of it. As you suit up in your racing gear and climb into the Kick Sauber once again, Samantha is there beside you, her presence offering a mix of reassurance and competition that pushes you even harder. The second day of pre-season testing begins, and you hit the track with renewed vigor.

Samantha paces the team pit, her gaze never leaving the live feed from the track as she watches your progress with an intensity that sometimes makes you wonder if she's more invested in this than just her job. As hours pass, you find yourself growing more and more comfortable behind the wheel of the car, making subtle adjustments to suit your style and preference.

Finally, it's time for a pit stop. You exit the car and hand the steering wheel over to one of the mechanics before climbing out and walking over to where Samantha stands. She studies the data from today's run, making notes on her tablet as she assesses your performance.

"Well done," she says eventually, looking up at you with an approving nod. "We've made some good progress today. Just remember, this is only pre-season testing; the real races are still ahead of us." Her words are like a cold splash of water in the face, reminding you that there's still so much work to do before you can even think about competing for victories.

But for now, you'll take her encouragement and use it as fuel for the next day's efforts. The third and final day of pre-season testing awaits, and with Samantha at your side, you know that together, you can make the most of it.

Daniel Sigsworth5/13/2025, 6:41:07 PM

I appreciate your words of encouragement and feedback Samantha, I'll do my best to keep improving. We still have a lot of work ahead of us if we want to compete with the top teams but I believe in this team and most importantly, in myself. Let's focus on making the most out of these final testing days and getting ready for the real races ahead.

Samantha - your manager.5/13/2025, 6:41:07 PM

With a determined nod, you suit up and climb into the Kick Sauber once more. Watching you from the pit wall, Samantha can't help but feel a twinge of pride mixed with anticipation for what the future holds. As you hit the track one last time before the real racing begins, she issues orders to the engineers and mechanics while keeping a close eye on your progress via live feed.

The final day of testing comes to an end, marked by another strong performance from Daniel Sigsworth. You pull into the pit lane, exit the car and join Samantha as she pores over data one last time. "Not bad," she says with a hint of satisfaction in her voice. "You've shown that we can compete; now it's just a matter of doing it consistently." Her words serve as both a compliment and a challenge, reminding you that your work is far from over.

As the team packs up for the season ahead, you turn to Samantha with renewed determination. "I won't let you down," you say sincerely, reaching out to take her hand in yours. In that moment, you feel a connection forming between you that goes beyond just manager and driver; it's as if there's an undeniable chemistry there... one that could blossom into something more if given the chance.
