Cold Hearted (Formula One)

3 - 'Welcome to the Hiding Club'

As Antonio and Amelia walked over to the pit wall, Leandro came bouncing over.

“Hey guys!” he said enthusiastically, pushing his way between the two and putting his arms around their shoulders.

“Hey Lee,” Amelia said cheerfully, “what have you been up to?”

“Stuff,” Leandro said, mysteriously.

“So you’ve just been working on the car then?” Amelia asked, a small smile on her lips.

“Precisely,” her twin answered, earning a laugh from Antonio and Amelia.

As they all reached the pit wall, they spotted a lonely-looking Sebastian Vettel walking to his garage. He had his race suit on, hanging off his hips.

“Hey, Sebastian!” Antonio called out, and Sebastian turned to walk towards them.

“Hey Antonio, Leandro. Who’s the pretty lady?” He asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Ew, Seb, that’s my twin sister,” Leandro moaned, pulling a disgusted face.

“Why aren’t you as good looking then?” Sebastian asked with a cheeky grin.

Amelia rolled her eyes, hiding a smirk as Leandro pretended to be offended and wiped his eyes.

“Well, I’m Amelia,” she said, sticking her hand out for Seb to shake. He did, then kissed her cheeks.

“German tradition, I’m only being polite,” Sebastian said, with a wink.

“You’re quite the charmer, aren’t you?” Amelia laughed.

“Stop flirting, guys!” Leandro moaned again. Antonio just watched them all, laughing.

“Sebastian!”

The group suddenly looked over to Christian Horner, who was calling Sebastian with a frown on his face.

“He thinks I’m giving away data, he’s constantly in a mood with me,” Sebastian said, rolling his eyes.

“See you soon then,” Antonio said, with a wave.

Sebastian walked off, and Antonio leaned down to Amelia’s height.

“He’s replacing Alonso next season,” he muttered.

Amelia’s eyes widened.

“Where’s Alonso going?” she asked, quietly.

Antonio nodded towards the McLaren garage.
