Stella's POV

"Auntie Chrissy texted you." Rayne says as I carry her to the Mercedes garage

"What'd she say?" I ask.

"She said good luck and they're all watching." My daughter says as she looks at my phone.

When we get to the Mercedes area I head to my room then I set Rayne down on the small couch before I change out of my clothes and into my racing suit.

While I get dressed I look at a diagram of the race track that's on the wall.

After I'm dressed I grab my helmet, my gloves, my neck collar, and my fire proof balaclava then I head out into the garage and lead Rayne to her seat

After I'm dressed I grab my helmet, my gloves, my neck collar, and my fire proof balaclava then I head out into the garage and lead Rayne to her seat.

"Have fun Mommy." Rayne says as I put my curly jet black hair into a ponytail.

"Good luck Kiss?" I question

Rayne smiles at me before her little hands grab my face then she pulls me towards her and pecks my lips.

"Stay safe Mommy." Rayne says as I put my pony tail into my racing suit.

"You got it Princess." I say.

After I hug my daughter I grab my gloves, my neck collar, and my helmet then head onto the track to meet my race engineers.

"You Ready?" Toto asks as I put in my earplugs that also let me ear the radio.

"Very ready." I say then I put on my balaclava, my neck collar, and my helmet.

Once I'm ready to drive I get in the car, put my gloves on, then I get connected to everything I need to be connected to.

"Stella it's London." My race engineer says over the radio. "You got me?"

"Yes Mrs. Solo." I say causing my friend to chuckle.

"Good." London says. "Now..."

Over the next some odd minutes I sit in my car and talk to London until everyone is off the track.

Once everyone is off the track all of the drivers take a formation/warmup lap around the track.

After the formation lap is over I lineup in my slot in 3rd position then I look at the over head lights and wait for the red lights to go out.

The moment the red lights turn off I, along with everyone else on the grid, race towards the first corner.

As I come out of the first corner I realize there's only one car ahead of me.

"Uh what happened?" I question as I speed towards turn two.

"Verstappen was a dumbass." London says. "Now keep focused and let's go track down P1."

"On it." I say then I chase after the first place Ferrari.

Over the next 20 or so laps I do exactly as told and keep my foot down which allows me to have nobody in my wing mirrors so I'm guessing the gap is pretty big between me  and whoever is in third.
