For the duration of the journey you and Megan were screaming along to music and laughing about good memories over the last couple of years. The journey wasn't to long and after an hour your arrived at the hotel.
As this was both yours and Megan's first Grand Prix, you decided to treat yourself and stay at the Hilton. You park the car in the Hilton car park and make your way into reception to check in. You were in awe of how beautiful the hotel was and this just made the butterfly's in your stomach go even more crazy over the excitement you were feeling for this weekend. "Hi we have a room booked for two under the name Megan Brown" Megan said to the last behind reception. The lady typed into the system and handed over the room keys whilst also directing us to which floor the room was on. "Thank you" we both muttered as we made our way to the elevator.
"Megan! They have a spa!" You said excitedly to your best friend who shook her head whilst giggling. "I don't think we will have much time for that Jordan". She was right unfortunately, as much as you would love to spend the weekend longing around the spa, you came for the Grand Prix.
"Room 106" you mumble whilst walking down the long hallways trying to look for your room. "102....104.....ahhhh here we go 106!" You tap the key card on the door to unlock it pushing the door open and dragging your luggage in. Although your only here for the weekend, being typical girls you have packed for every occasion!. "Wow look at this!" You say whilst walking up to the large window on the other side of the room. The room was a large open space with a big king sized bed in the middle with neutral decor throughout.

You and Megan both start to unpack your suitcases whilst an alarm goes off on Megan's phone alerting them of the time "Shit Jords it's already 10:00am let's get to Silverstone" Megan says to you whilst picking up her small handbag to carry round with her for the day and heading for the door. You nod and also gather your things, suddenly getting nervous to see the busy Grand Prix scene.
You made your way down to the lobby and called a taxi for the journey there as neither or you wanted to drive as you were worried about parking. Once the taxi arrives you both get into the back seats and tell your driver the destination. The journey to Silverstone was pretty silent but you were enjoying looking out of the window and the scenery around you, making the most of the calm before entering the hectic Silverstone.
"We are here ladies" you are dragged out of your calm thoughts by the taxi driver letting you know that you have arrived. You lean over to the front to pay the gentleman knowing that Megan will cover the costs for the journey back. You get out of taxi and make your way over to the entrance gates whilst grabbing your passes from your bags. Seeing as it is your first Grand Prix experience, you went all out and got the best VIP tickets you could get! "Tickets please girls" a smiley young lady said to us at the gate" you handed your passes over and they were scanned through to let you in. "Enjoy your weekend girls" the lovely lady said as you entered the gate. "Oh my gosh Megs, this is amazing! We're finally here!" You shake your best friend out of excitement and jump up and down like a toddler at Disney Land. Megan looks at you with the same amount of excitement plastered across her face whilst she links her arms with yours and you both head down to the paddock.
It was Thursday which meant it was media day. They were hoping to run into some of their favourite sports presenters or even better members or their favourite F1 teams.
After walking down the paddock a short while, they are completely starstruck by the amount of people there are and how amazing the set up and atmosphere of the place is. Everywhere you look there is someone or something new to look at. You could stand there all day just watching people go about their days, watching how they do their jobs... it was so fascinating. You we're still scanning the crowds of people when you realise that you have gotten to the interview area as you can see many cameras/lighting equipment. Walking closer into that direction you see a couple of drivers conducting interviews such as Esteban Ocon and Lance Stroll. There is one more driver that is there but you can't quite see as there is a group of people hovered in front of the guy.
You move a little closer so that you are right next to the camera crew and that's when you see him....
Lando Norris.
