The British summer sun pours golden light across the Silverstone paddock, stretching shadows from the polished Mercedes garage. The air thrums with the distant scream of engines and the murmur of mechanics at work. You, you Russell, grip a miniature microphone, your new karting suit crisp against your skin. Your father George stands close by, a proud, quiet smile on his face, while your mother Carmen fusses gently with your collar. A cameraman crouches low, his lens aimed squarely at you. "Hi everyone… I'm you Russell, I'm ten years old and I'm new to the Mercedes junior team." You glance into the camera, your heart sprinting like a race start. "Can you tell us a bit more about yourself?" the man asks, and your eyes dart to your dad, seeking a anchor.
