PR to Mrs Norris - Edited version

Race weekend

Lando

"Where is my scooter Charlotte" I jokingly complain as Kimi zooms past us towards Alfa Romeo hospitality "I wouldn't trust you on one!" She tells me and I can't help but laugh because she is right! We keep walking through the people milling about in the paddock "I would absolutely kill it!" I defend and all Charlotte does is laugh at me. My attention is drawn across the paddock seeing Mols Squealing running away from Max and George who are, I'm assuming trying to tickle her. She trips over her own foot and goes face first into the tarmac. I run over completely forgetting about the jokes I was having with Charlotte a few moments earlier. "Ouch" Mols says as George scoops her up off of the floor "You okay Squirt?" George asks her with a worried tone "I think so, my nose is really sore though" She complains and I reach her placing my hand on her arm "Mols! Are you okay?" I ask and she turns to face me and I see that her nose is completely smashed up "Oh" I say without realising and she looks at me panicked "Is it bad?" She questions me and I nod "Let's get you to the medical centre" I say leading her by her elbow down to the opposite end of the paddock, George and Max trailing behind me.

Molly

"Okay, please keep the dressing clean and dry" The doctor tells me and I nod "And try to not get you face smashed against the floor again" he jokes and I let out a laugh before standing to go and find my group of boys. I swing the door open and Lando is immediately at my side "All good?" He asks me and I nod "Just some strips and a dressing, I need to keep it on for the next 7 days" George sniggers slightly "Sorry" he says and Lando speaks "Perfect, we can work with that, lets get you back to Mercedes" He signals at Max and George to follow as we leave the medical building. As we make our way back across the paddock I spot Charles who makes a beeline for our group "Oh Molly, what happened?" He asks taking in my appearance "I fell over, sadly my face took the brunt of the impact" he winces "All sorted now though?" He asks and I nod "All good, just need to keep the dressing on for the next week" He nods "Could be worse" he shrugs before turning his attention to the group "Hey guys!" He greets and George gives him a quick man hug and he gets a fist bump from Max. "That press conference was a bit brutal" Lando says and I immediately know what he is taking about "Yeah, I didn't realise I had given people a chance to assume I wouldn't be with Ferrari next season" He tries to joke with Lando who does his trademark laugh "Well Carlos has come in strong" Charles nods "I know he has been fantastic, but I still have 2 more years in my contract" Charles shrugs. He was asked earlier if Mick Schumacher was getting his seat next year. The question was awkward as hell as Charles didn't want to say anything he shouldn't but he has a Ferrari contract till 2024.

Once we finally get back to Mercedes I see Josh outside not looking impressed "Where have you both been?" He asks angrily staring into his phone which George rolls his eyes at and then he clears his throat getting Josh to look up and his eyes widen as he takes in my appearance "We had to go to medical centre, completely my fault" George says attempting to deflect the blame from me. "My god, what happened?" I shrug "I just fell over, my face took the fall" he nods "well you are both due in a meeting so can we get into the garage" he herds us in and through to the meeting room. We take our usual seats and I see Toto's eyes widen as he takes in my appearance. Once we start the meeting I realise it is about the weekend ahead and what to expect from the cars performance, I get to come to these so that I know what to expect in the media pen, in terms of what questions we might get asked. My nose starts stinging as we are finishing up and George notices me wincing "I'm sorry!" He whispers and I laugh lightly as Toto thanks us all and wishes the team a successful weekend!

I walk out of the room with Josh right behind me "I need you to stay late tonight" he tells me and look at him confused "why? I missed like 10 minutes earlier" he shrugs "there are lots of emails and plans to go over" he knows I stay late usually anyway so I let it go and head straight into the press office, loading up my laptop so that I can get straight into the emails. I send Lando a message letting him know I will be finishing late so I will see him at the hotel. I let out a small sigh and start looking through the emails.
