Jessica stood there in shock. She was not expecting this day to get any crazier than it was already. Guess she thought wrong and she is going to have her first discussion with the Honey Badger, Daniel Ricciardo. She snapped out of her thoughts and walked to the door, which she then opened.

Jessica: Hey Ricciardo.

Ricciardo and Jessica shook hands: Hi Jessica. It's been a while since we last spoke to each other.

Jessica: it sure is. Not exactly the best of forms right now. I mean 4 DNFs in the row, not ideal huh.

Ricciardo chuckled: You can say that. Especially Hungary when Verstappen was cleared of the blame by Red Bull. You still remember the article.

Jessica: I sure do Ricciardo. Come inside. We don't want the media to know we are chatting.

Ricciardo smiled: Sure thing. Just let my advisor in as well.

Ricciardo entered the room and Jessica made sure no one was watching before locking the door. She greeted the two

Glenn: Glenn Beavis, Daniel Ricciardo's advisor. Nice to finally meet you face to face

Jessica: It's a pleasure to meet you too Glenn. I think it's best we get straight to the point. Why do you want to ask for a seat here?

Ricciardo signed: I need a new start. I can't take it here in Red Bull anymore to say the least. Them being all over the place. I'm not going to win the world championship at Red Bull.

Jessica took her seat on the chair as she went back to her computer: That I can understand the championship part but what makes you think you can win here rather than Red Bull.

Ricciardo: Because of Celes.

That immediately peeked Jessica and she stopped doing whatever she was doing on the computer and looked to Ricciardo confused: Wait what?

Ricciardo: I simply think Celes will be a better teammate to work with rather than Verstappen.

Jessica: What makes you think that.

Glenn: it's very complicated but from what I see it. It's more like Celes has less of an ego than Verstappen does.

Jessica: Kind of helps I guess. But in 2019 we will be using not a Merc engine. It will be a rebranded Porsche engine with no guarantees of reliability. What makes you think it will be any better than Renault with Red Bull.

Ricciardo: Simply put Jessica the fact that your in 4th right now after a shit show last year at Manor. I think it can work with it.

Jessica: You're a lot more serious behind the cameras than I thought.

Ricciardo chuckled: I'm your age Jessica.

Jessica: minus 2 and a half months.

Ricciardo chuckled but soon turned back: I would not be here if I did not think I could win a championship with this team.

Jessica: You do know this team is owned by me. Celes's cousin, right? While I can say is I can guarantee a seat, I won't be able to guarantee number one status if that is what you are asking for Ricciardo.

Ricciardo: I know but if need to Celes will assist me right?

This caught Jessica completely offguard and inquired further: What?

Ricciardo: Amount all of the drivers on the grid, I can safely say that Celes amount all of them has the most modest amount all of the drivers.

Jessica: That's a low bar in all honesty. The only real outliners on this grid is maybe you, Vettel, Massa but he is retiring and maybe Palmer.
