Ellia Yearwood/Plot

### Background

Ellia is born in Nice, France. She and her family moved to London and began living their life there as Ellia grow up. By the time Ellia is 8 years old, her father began introducing to her Formula 1 and immediately gain interest in it. Her classmate in school is also a Formula 1 enthusiast, in which she is a fan of Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton.

Ellia had been watching Lewis Hamilton winning races during those years until her father soon introduced her to Red Bull. She asked her father why he is not a Mercedes fan, he stated that it is best to give other F1 teams a chance to win as much as Mercedes. Her father explained to her that Red Bull did not get as many victories and podiums as much as Mercedes. Thus, Mercedes earning more points than any other F1 team.

She had admired and idolises Mercedes until she is 16 years-old, when she began supporting Red Bull. This makes her gain interest on becoming one of the world’s best female Formula 1 driver. She had told her father that she wanted to be a racing driver for F1, but her father told her that being a driver needs a lot of experience from driving and a lot of physical body training. Although this could be a problem to her because of the type of body she has; a buxom figure. Knowing that it needs a lot of training to be a Formula 1 driver and F1 is indeed a dangerous sport, Ellia plans to be a Formula 1 engineer instead, where she can see and feel F1 cars every single race.

By the time she is 18 years old, she graduated from Cambridge in which her degree is engineering and travels to Austria, where she can finally apply as an engineer for F1. Right when she is about to apply her job in Red Bull, a Japanese applicant also tries to apply for it. During that time, the two meet each other as they are waiting to be interviewed and soon became friends when they are accepted to be part of Red Bull Racing, with Shiro as a racing driver and Ellia as Red Bull’s first female engineer.

### Formula 1 season

Ellia took her place as the engineer for Red Bull racing, she was taught on how to identify any problems (Such as suspension, brakes, DRS failure etc.) in the car through the use of looking at old F1 videos of how the cars crashed. After years of being taught to become a good engineer, she is finally an expert as Shiro was trained to become a good driver in his skills and agility. By the time a new Formula 1 season is about to begin, multiple professional F1 veteran drivers either retired or move to another FIA championships as new rookies came into F1.

During the races in the season, Ellia focuses on the corners and hairpins while Shiro and all the other drivers in the grid make their formation lap. Once she visualise the image of the race track, she often tells Shiro when there will be a turn and corners coming. At the end of the race, Shiro takes up his first podium of the Formula 1 season. Right when the season is about to end, Shiro and Ellia were stunned to hear that Shiro’s idol, Max Verstappen, Red Bull’s professional racing driver, Shiro’s teammate and the world’s 2nd F1 champion, is going to retire before the next F1 season begins. This soon gives Shiro the opportunity to bring his best childhood friend, Yuri, into Formula 1 to take his seat for Red Bull.
