E.U: Bye Natty. Please keep us informed of what you are doing.

Natty smiled as she hugged E.U: Bye E.U. You have been such a good leader.

E.U smiled at it: Take some rest. You've earned it. Sorry for what happened in Idol School.

Natty nodded as the two embraced in a hug once more: No need. Jessica has apologized and promised they will take action.

E.U: I know Jessica. They will take action on this situation. Don't worry about it.

On the plane to Belgium...

Jessica was sitting on one of the couches in the jet. Normally she would have slept through it but now she has a lot of things to think about...especially after what Felipe Massa told him about a particular. True she was chatting with Carlos Sainz Jr on a potential contract deal as Carlos Onoro was chatting with her a few weeks ago but her emails have been bombarded with so many driver's agents asking for a chat and a potential seat at the helm of one of their cars. Carlos Sainz, Daniil Kvyat, Pascal Wehrlein, Nico Hulkenberg, Joylon Palmer and even Mr Valtteri Bottas were all asking her about a potential seat at.

Flashback...

Jessica looked at Massa with WTF written on it: You're telling me there is a chance we can get the honey badger?

Massa looked at Jessica and nodded: Yes. I truly think there is a chance.

Jessica rolled back into her seat and looked at Massa: I dunno if I can call you smart or not. Even me, there is no way he is coming here as long as Celes is here. He wants to be number one here.

Massa chuckled: I know. But I think that's the reason why he wants to be here.

Jessica looked at Massa as Massa elaborated: Let's be real with ourselves, Celes is not going to win in the next few years.

Jessica rolled her eyes: That's an understatement. Even if we convinced Ric Bobby to come, I don't think we can even make a championship winning car until 2020 at the very earliest and that it by itself is a stretch. Plus getting Ricciardo now is going to be a hassle due to his contract with Red Bull not up until 2018. Sainz is a much easier option as he clearly has distaste for Red Bull.

Massa nodded: What about Valtteri?

Jessica: As much as I want to, he is not that spearhead, I can guarantee you that it will not end well. 'sigh'. Ok here is the deal Felipe.

Massa: What is it?

Jessica: I will not approach Ricciardo, I don't see it happening. But if he approaches me and ask for some contract or whatever, we will have this discussion again. If by latest Italy he does not approach me, we will go for Carlos Sainz Jr. Renault is very keen to pick him up and I am not going to allow it. Unless we can convince Ricciardo to come and join us.

Massa nodded: Fair enough.

Jessica was still rattling her mind thought many other possibilities. She knew Sainz was looking at a way out of Red Bull and he would be a much cheaper option but that. Should she entice Ricciardo now or wait for him to come to her. Would he really be the best option to pair up to Celes. He would be an extremely good benchmark for Celes. The rumors were killing her and the fact that she cannot do anything to quiet them down was hurting and completely messing with her mind. These rumors unlike Kpop usually have no merit and are pure speculations with no real credibility added onto them. Kpop usually have some form of merit, even if they are most of the time complete and utter rants by some folks who have access to the internet. But now it is official media and the fact they had such a stellar rise to the top of the midfield will not help quiet them down as well as pretty much everyone is saying they can fight for the championship in 2020 which sure is possible but she is thinking longer term to the new regs. They still have so many facilities to do and build as they expand and make themselves a statement. At the same time she can't stop and think what a statement it would be for them to sign the honey badger. It will be a statement of intent on their part and would really solidly their intent to stay in Formula 1. It was just a lot going on for her right now and the summer break was not really a summer break with emails, contract talks etc. it was just too much for her to handle.
