In Love With Formula 1

Part 66

Landos POV:

It was the USA GP and I was there with my team doing all of the boring interviews where they asked the same questions as the last person with very little break in between.

Izzie had been at her house for the past month or so and wasn't expected to have a race until the Mexican GP in a months time, this meant she wasn't here in America with me, I know she didn't like it here because she one wasn't old enough to drink and two everyone just annoyed her, they are very loud and it was very overwhelming for her.

I was walking through back through the paddock with Charlotte and Daniel to head to the garage to talk set up for the practice sessions. Our team were expected to do well here, the track was extremely bumpy so it would be a test for the suspension.

There was also a section that was exactly like Maggotts and Becketts from Silverstone which was the part I felt most confident about.

I had spent some time looking at data and making notes about it, I think Izzie is turning me in to her with all of her studying, it was paying off though my results were better and my skills were getting better with situations like when my tyres started to blister and grain. 

I walked back out of the garage and someone asked me for a photo, I obviously said yes but I didn't really get to see who it was until the camera was up and I saw who it was in the selfie camera on the phone.

Before I could do anything the photo was posted on twitter and I was being given a glare from them that looked like they were out to kill someone.

When I followed her to try and delete the photo, more cameras were pointing at me, most importantly Sky, I genuinely just wanted the photo to not get any traction.

I carried on with my day, what else could I do about it. I was in an interview with Sky and I knew it wasn't going to be racing related.

"How is Izzie settling in to her new home, it's in Cornwall yes?" Johnny asked me

"Yeh, it's beautiful, when I first saw it I wasn't sure but she is incredibly talented at decorating and it looks amazing now"

"That's great news, we haven't seen Izzie for a few months at the last couple of GP's, what is she up to?"

"I haven't actually spoken to her today but I know she is doing a lot of training for her upcoming races and is working hard for that F3 seat"

"We heard about that, do you know when it will be officially announced that she is an F3 driver as it's all rumours at the moment?"

"I'm not 100% sure but it should be announced when we are in Singapore or around that time"

"Great stuff, good luck this weekend Lando"

I started to walk away but Johnny tapped my shoulder just as I was about to leave

"Why did you take a photo with Lily-Rose?"

"I didn't mean to, someone asked for a photo and by the time I realised who it was it was already posted"

"Izzie"

"I know, she doesn't use her phone that much though, hopefully she won't see it"

"You should tell her though, I am a lot more wise than you, Izzie gets hot headed and doesn't think, if you don't tell her she will find out and come for your throat and hers"

"Thank you"

I walked off and started internally freaking out because it had been a few hours and it had got a lot of attention on social media already.
