You scanned your pass and then walked in to the circuit. You only walked alone as you understood that Seb didn't like when you and himself became a public consumption.
On a day before, you learnt that how frustrated he was as he failed to get through to Q3. When he was about to do his final attempt to improve his lap time, the new McLaren driver, Daniel, brought out the third red flag of the qualifying as he buried the nose of his car into the barrier, just minutes before the Q2 ended.
On the post-qualifying interview, he wasn't moody anymore. Instead, he was laughing when a reporter said that he could have a free tyre choice as he started from the outside of top 10. He was so bored with those words.
When you arrived at the back of the garage of Aston Martin, you found Michael, one of Seb's mechanics, who was standing there. And you greeted him kindly. "Morning, Mikey!"
"Hey! Morning, (Y/N)!" he smiled at you. "Are you ready for today's race?"
"Erm, I'm always nervous on race day, to be honest."
He chuckled. "Don't worry. He will do well like the previous one."
You were grateful when you saw how elated the team was when Seb could finish inside the top 5 on the previous race, Monaco GP. It was his best result of the season so far, and he was determined to give more.
"Thank you, Mikey. By the way, have you seen him?"
Michael tried to remember for a moment. "I think that I saw him talking with Otmar and Lance and walking together to the hospitality."
When they were talking, Antti appeared and he smiled to know that you had arrived there. "Hey, (Y/N)."
"Antti!" You were glad that he was there as you could ask him about Seb. "Do you know where Seb is now?"
Before Antti answered, Michael said goodbye to them as he still had some works to do with the other mechanics. Then, Antti replied. "He's with Otmar and Lance at the hospitality. Britta is also there. He asked me to come here in case you've arrived."
"Yeah, it wasn't that long ago."
"Seb wants you to wait for him inside his room. It will be around 5 to 10 minutes before he can see you," Antti explained to you.
You nodded. "Sure, I'll wait for him there. Thanks, Antti."
"No problem."
You walked to the hospitality behind the garage with Antti and when you had been there, you could see Seb, Lance, and Otmar who were in deep conversations, so that he didn't see you.
You went up to the second floor and you walked to one of the driver's rooms which was his, according to the name tag on the door. While waiting for Seb to come back, you sat down on a massage table, took your mask off and put it somewhere next to you.
You opened your Twitter page and how surprised you were as some F1 journalists predicted a win from Seb. It wasn't that you thought it was impossible. But knowing how strong his former teams, Red Bull and Ferrari were, you understood that Aston Martin hadn't reached the same level as them.
You didn't know who started hyping up 'a Vettel win', but it was nice to see that people's doubts on him started fading away. You felt that some people had realized that he was still one of the greatest, no matter what.
When the door opened, you smiled as Seb emerged. You quickly put your phone back inside your bag and you were in a rush to hug him. You could hear him chuckle.
"Do you miss me already?" Seb asked after he pulled away.
"You know that I always miss you although we are only an inch apart," you laughed a little.
