Summary
Tilly Suttner knows what she's talking about and has the degree and resume to prove it. She knows sports, how to talk to people, and what questions to ask make professional athletes forget they're being interviewed at all.
No, Tilly didn't expect her silly TikTok videos of the UW men's hockey's team to go viral, but people are interested in who athletes are besides a statistic. While continuing to make behind-the-scenes videos with other Badgers teams, she discovered her love for sports media.
By the time she graduates college, Tilly's built a following in the millions, prompting Formula 1 to offer her a job after graduation. At first, they don't know what to do with her — she's young, American, and has a following large enough to make legacy media sweat. She's not treated like a journalist, instead as "the TikTok girl" — until people vouch for her skills online.
Thinking it'll be harmless, Tilly's given the opportunity to cover the rookies. Drivers and viewers alike see how good she is at her job, but when millions of people have opinions and Wi-Fi, new narratives — both real and imagined — form.
After all, in a sport where everything's public, nothing stays just yours for very long.

Summary
Max Verstappen will hold his hand up and admit to making a few mistakes in his F1 career.
But starting a drivers’ group chat in the middle of an unassuming summer break will probably end up being the worst mistake.
