Summary
Life in the paddock pack is a dream, and very frustrating. People both inside the paddock and outside of it just don't seem to get how it works, or think that it should work differently, in their favour, especially when it comes to the pack's Omegas. Lando loves his pack and his Mate, and having such a good friend as a teammate. Everything else, the pack gets through together.

Summary
Kimi isn’t sure how he feels about a grid pack, it sounds like a lot of pressure. A night out with some of them and with Ollie helps clarify things, some of it has nothing to do with the pack.

Summary
It’s really easy to notice how prettily the Omega drivers dress, and Franco definitely notices. He notices how good different colours look together and wonders what colour would look good on him, he wonders what texture or hemline or draping of Omega clothing would look good on him too.
Alpha Franco has never told anyone about how he sometimes thinks about dressing in Omega clothes, he has definitely never anyone about feeling like he's an Omega some days. Until he relaxes enough around the pack to let something slip. It's nowhere near the destroying shame that he thinks it will be.

“You need to get to Lewis’s motorhome now. A VIP tried to get Albon into a car and drive off with him.” The pack starts to gather. It protects itself, and gives comfort to its members that no one outside the pack sees. Ollie is so glad to be part of this particular pack.

Summary
Esteban doesn’t know why Ollie and his team abruptly get up from their table where Ollie is being interviewed and leave the room. It’s very startling and Ollie looks alarmingly upset.
(Esteban gets to know his new teammate Ollie, teaches him how to survive the F1 media, and is reminded that how he himself is often treated in F1 by the media might be an unchangeable fact of life but it's also not okay.)

Summary
It’s another hot weekend, which makes it one of George’s least favourites. He’s trying to push last year’s Singapore anxiety to the back of his mind, but thanks to Netflix, most of the people who’ve interviewed him this weekend have brought it up. Now he's the fragile Omega who shouldn't be racing, let alone leading Mercedes.
(George is triggered at a hot race, and is grateful for support from his teammate and for an evening with his Alphas)
