I gaped at the screen, heart pounding as I tried to navigate the flood of emotions building within me.
Send them my way. They need to hear from me directly and know it wasn’t ME brushing them off. But if you could unblock every journalist or company that I never told to fuck off personally, that would be great.

Done.
They’ve handed you the scandal on a silver platter, and now we sell the story. They can choke on their own silence.
You know why?
Because you’re the comeback. You’re the headline. And you’re the one who they tried to silence.
Let’s raise hell, Frenchie.
A smile tugged at my lips. Finally, someone in my corner who was going to fightwithme.
Next I created a new folder on my drive:
/RECLAIMING MY VOICE/
I started keeping score. Screenshots. Dates. Email headers. Names. Every time someone tried to give me a platform and the team made sure I couldn’t take it.
Next came the FIA guidelines. I pulled up the 2025 rulebook and compared it to my contracts with Luminis and Ferrari, skimming like a woman possessed. I wasn’t trying to break the rules. I was trying to master them. Rules weren’t made to protect people like me—they were made to control us.
I highlighted furiously and circled important keywords.
DRIVER COMMUNICATION
FIA Reg. 3.6.2:
“Drivers may communicate with media unless otherwise instructed during official sessions. No regulation shall prevent a driver from offering personal statements post-race, provided said statements do not constitute direct slander against another party.”
Translation? I could speak my truth—long as I didn’t call Morel a fucking terrorist and attempted murderer with a steering wheel and a super license.
Cool. Noted.
Luminis PR Clause 12.4:
“Drivers shall defer all interview arrangements, quotes, and commentary to Luminis’ PR division. No independent media outreach shall occur without written approval.”
Except I wasn’treaching out. I was responding and telling them I was available...
Let them try to call that a breach. Idarethem.
MEDIA OBLIGATIONS
FIA Media Resp. 5.2:
“Drivers are expected to participate in scheduled media engagements unless medically exempt or given written reprieve by team management.”
I sat back in my seat and stared at the clause. I’d been barred from every press opportunity that gave me agency. That wasn’t areprieve.That was a gag order in disguise.
Ferrari Clause 7.1.2:
“The Driver shall retain autonomy to accept or decline interview requests related to personal experience, driver safety, or off-track affairs, without prejudice or penalty.”
Autonomy. I let that word sink into my bloodstream like oxygen. Ferrari didn’t want a puppet. They wanteda weapon. They wanted me fast and free.
