{ close-up of Lewis’ face at the wheel of a Ferrari as he looks to the left and turns the wheel, in concentration. A Ferrari can be seen on a track. Charles can also be seen at the wheel of a Ferrari and the second Ferrari can be seen through the window of Charles’ car. The cars can be seen taking a corner. We see two silhouettes walking through a tunnel. It then zooms in on Charles looking across to another person. This person is then revealed to be Lewis.

We see Charles adjust a head piece and look off to the left hand side, prepping. The camera zooms out and we again see the red Ferrari in the garage and Lewis walking past it. To the left two technicians can be seen looking at screens with graphics on them. A car races from a distance. Charles walks behind the pillar, towards another red Ferrari.

{on a track that keeps changing.}

{Video footage}

{Lewis can be seen walking towards the two technicians by the screens and he is also adjusting his ear piece. He looks intently and curiously at the screens. The angle shifts and we can now see what is displayed on the screens. It shows a red and yellow track and we see the angles shift before our eyes.}

{Music builds slowly; drum beats and heart beats throughout}

{Now, let’s see how you respond to the twists and turns ahead}

[Visuals]

{Video footage}

{We flash forwards to see two red Ferraris racing around a track. One Ferrari pulls ahead of the other. We see that the drivers are Charles and Lewis and they look across to each other, with smiles on their faces. They are on the same team. We see the red Ferrari’s front on again.}

{Music intensifies, and SFX engine roars can be heard. The sound becomes powerful and fast-paced}

{VO}

{Throw them a left.}

{Video footage}

{We see the red and yellow track graphics on screen again. A white dot adjusts the track to move and shift before our eyes. On the track we see an arrow barrier rise up from the ground to force the drivers to drive “left” as per the voice over’s command. We see Lewis turn his wheel to the left and we see the wheels of the car up close. The angle of the camera shifts to an aerial shot of the cars turning left because of the barrier that has appeared before them – this barrier prevents them from driving right. We see the full track corner and greenery. We zoom in on one of the technicians faces – he is controlling the shifting track from the screens before him. The track can be seen on the screen in the background. The footage zooms in on “Power” and “Responsiveness” dials – it shows they have been activated. We see the two Ferraris go around the corner. They have successfully adjusted their driving route. We flash back to real time and see Lewis’ nod at the screen and turns towards the red Ferrari – he’s ready for the challenge.}
