I am Brian Ranchton.I am a 14-year old kid and I
have a huge passion for racing.Today my favorite
Formula One driver,German driver Nico Rodberg,
is coming to town.I am so excited!!!

Around 3 pm,a massive crowd watched as Nico
Rodberg made a very interesting show in his
Merceres Formula One car.After that he began to
sign autographs.What happened changed my life.
After a very large queue,I saw Nico face to face.

Chapter I: How it began

"Hello Nico! I am Brian,your greatest fan!" I said
excited.
"Nice,he said as he shook my hand calmly.Here's
my autograph,Brian.Enjoy!"
"Thank you!"
"I'd do anything for my fans!" he replied.

An hour later,I went home.It was the greatest day of my life!
At night,I said to myself: "I wish I was Nico Rodberg. It would
be so exciting!"

THE DIARY OF NICO RODBERG:
Man,it's hard to be a Formula one driver all the time.I remember
that kid,Brian,who told me he was my greatest fan.I wish I was
a 14 year old again.

Chapter II:Wish comes trueI woke up after a sweet dream.I noticed that
I was on an airplane.What happened? I went
to check myself in the mirror.I saw Nico
Rodberg's face! My wish came true!
"Nico!"said someone.
"Who is it?"
"Your boss,Ross."
"Ross?"
"Ross Brown,your boss! You forgot?"
"I think so."

After that,a tall,black man appeared. It was
my team mate,2008 World Champion,
Lewis Hummelton!
"Hey Nico!"
"Hey Lewis!"
"You're not upset about the last race,are you?"
"Last race?"
"Yeah,you know,when your engine failed."
"Oh yes.No I'm not upset."
"Great,gentlemen,said Ross.We must get ready
for the next race."

Chapter III:What does Nico do?Oh,I had a busy day yesterday signing all the autographs.
Suddenly,someone said:
"Brian,get dressed!You're late for school!"
"Brian?"
"You know,my son.Brian Ranchton."
"Huh?"
"Oh God.You must have had amnesia! Let me just say it
quickly,I'm your mother,you love Formula One.Your
favorite driver is Nico Rodberg.You went to his show
yesterday to meet him!"
"Oh,thank you...mum."
It means that I changed bodies with that boy,Brian.

I think it's because I wished I was a 14 year old.So it
means that the kid is now in my body.I hope he doesn't
mess up anything.
Anyway,I had to go to school.There a boy said to me:
"Hey Brian!"
"Hey...sorry but I think I had amnesia.Who are you?"
"I am Tom.Your best friend since kindergarten."
"Oh,glad to know that again!"
"Aren't you anxious?"
"About what?"
"About today's paper at German.Professor Lippelt has
been telling us about it for the last two weeks!"
"Don't worry,I think I'll do well."
"But you stink at German!"

Of course,Brian might stink at German.But still,I
am German.I'll do really well.
"Hey Brian,what's up?" said a girl.
"You know,I've got to go now.Bye!"
"Okay..."
After she left,I asked Tom:
"Who is that girl?"
"Wow.You must have had a serious illness.That
girl is Judy Watkins.You've been in love in her
ever since you saw her for the first time two years
ago.But you are very shy and you messed
everything up anytime you tried to talk to her!"
Clearly,Brian needs my help.

Chapter IV:Does Lewis believe me?So here I am.I changed my body with my favorite
race driver.This means I have to drive his Formula
One car! I know that only one person can help me:
Nico's best friend and team mate,Lewis Hummelton.
I go and talk to him.
"Hey Lewis!"
"Hey Nico!What's up?"
"Listen.I've got to tell you something important that
you might not believe."
"You don't have a crush on my girlfriend,do you?"
"No.I mean,you remember yesterday,when I went

on that show and gave some autographs to fans."
"Yes..."
"Well,I don't know what happened but one of
these fans,a 14 year old called Brian Ranchton,
wished he could be Nico Rodberg.Then he
woke up in Nico Rodberg's body.I switched
bodies with Nico and I don't know how to drive a
Formula One car!"
"Man,that is ridiculous.I don't believe you."
"You have to! Who else would? Here,give me
your phone for a second."
I entered my phone number.I asked Lewis to talk.
"Lewis is that you?"

"Nico?Yes.So you switched bodies with a kid.I don't
believe you man.Tell me the secret I only said to you.
Oh,this is serious.Sorry for all this confusion."
Then Lewis told me:
"Okay Brian.I will help you.But you mustn't tell anyone
else for now,not even Ross.He would freak out if he
knew the truth."
"Oh thank you,thank you,thank you!" I said.
"Okay so in the rulebook of Formula One article
9313091999090919994627 it states that if someone
who isn't a Formula One driver switches bodies with a
Formula One driver that someone must win two races
that season to get back to their original body."

"Are there really so many articles in that rulebook?"
"Yes,it's a very complicated sport."
"And how do you know so much about it?"
"Did you forget that I'm a World Champion?"
"Oh yeah,sorry."
"No problem,mate."

Chapter V:The Sebastian Kettle StoryIn Formula One Merceres' greatest rival is a team named after
a famous energy drink company,Red Bell.Its star is 4-time
World Champion Sebastian Kettle.He,like Nico,is a German.
He is a really talented driver and can
get really happy.He has already won 13
races this year.There are only 2 races
left this season,the Monaco
Grand Prix and the British Grand Prix.
I have to win them to get back to my
body.But as talented and great as
Sebastian Kettle is,he has a huge
problem.

1) Numbers
2) Caesar
3) Atbash

A few races ago,in Malaysia,something happened that
shaped Kettle forever.There were a few laps to go,when
Kettle's team mate,Mark Warner,was leading the race.
The team told Mark to save fuel.Sebastian was told not
to pass Mark.But he did pass Mark and won the race.
Mark hasn't won any races this season.It's his last
season as he announced his retirement.
Now it's not only that.In 2007,in Japan,Mark was
leading the race when Sebastian crashed him out.He got
really mad because it could have been his first win.
Mark is a really unlucky driver.Another example I
remember is in 2010,in Turkey.Mark was leading the
race when Sebastian crashed him out again.That year
Sebastian won his first World Championship.

Now the two hate each other.I'm not sure why Mark
is feeling sad though,he could just ignore Sebastian
but he doesn't do that.

Ah,Monaco.The first ever street race in Formula
One history.Thanks to Lewis' help,I will start first
in the race,which is tomorrow.I go and talk to him.
"Hey Lewis!"
"Hey Nico,I mean...Brian.How are you?"
"I'm great.Really happy I'm starting first tomorrow.
Though I'm a bit insecure.What if Kettle passes me
at the start?"

Chapter VI:Monaco

"Don't worry,he won't do that.I've got your back."
"Thanks mate."
After possibly the longest sleep in my life,I went
to the race.Went in my car,started the race.Lewis
did his best to help me but he couldn't do
much as Kettle and Warner passed him.Luckily,I
won the race.It felt great.Unluckily,Mark tried to
congratulate Sebastian but he told him:
"I don't want to talk to you,you fool! I've told you
a million times to leave me alone!"
"But you don't understand!"
"Who's the World Champion here? Me,not you!"
I had to talk to Mark.

"Hey Mark!"
"Hey Nico,he said,with a sad look on his face.Nice
win today."
"Thanks.Why are you sad?"
"Sebastian..."
"Tell me,I'm your friend."
"Well...Well I admire everything Sebastian does.I do
my best for him all the time and all he does in return
is tell everyone he wants to get rid of me! I just wish
that he appreciated me for what I do for him.I just
wish he understood..."
"Don't worry,I'm sure he will."
"When? I've only got one race left in my career!"

Chapter VII:Brian is sadAfter talking to Mark,it made me feel really sad.
I miss my friends,my family and most importantly,
Judy.I go talk to Lewis about that.
"Well there is only one thing you can do,Brian."
"What?"
"Call Nico and invite him and your girlfriend to the
British Grand Prix."
"She's not my girlfriend yet..."
"I'm sure she would be if you won the British Grand
Prix."
"I don't know.I mean,Nico Rodberg would win the

race,not me.I want her to like me how I am,
not me with my favorite driver inside my body."
"I get it mate,you're really shy.How about I
call Nico for you?"
"You'd really do that?"
"For a friend,anything."
So he called Nico.
"Hey Nico."
"Hey Lewis.Is Brian there?"
"Yeah he is,replied Lewis.Come on Brian,Nico
wants to talk to you."
"He does?"

"Yes he does."
Lewis hands me the phone.
"Brian?"
"Nico?I mean,Mr. Rodberg?"
"Relax,you can call me Nico,we're friends.I just
wanted to congratulate you for winning in Monaco.
It's a great achievement."
"Thanks,Nico.How's it going for you in my body?"
"Well it's great.I improved your marks at Physics,
German,Chemistry and Maths."
"Thank you.How about Judy?"
"Well I knew that you would like to talk to her,so
how about you and Lewis come to the school?You

could invite Tom,Judy and I to the race,and after you
win and get back to your body,she will love you."
"How do you know?"
"Tom told me that he heard her talk to her friends about
you."
"Really? Thank you,thank you,thank you!"
"Good luck for the British Grand Prix!"

So after I talked to Brian and Lewis on the phone,I told
Tom:
"Hey Tom,did you know that Nico Rodberg and Lewis
Hummelton are coming to our school?"
"Really? How do you know?"
