Drive to Survive [Lando Norris]

-10-

Willow had a great time with her brothers. She barely talked to her parents, mostly her mother, but she had decided that that shouldn't effect her time with her brothers. 

But now she was taking in the hot air stepping out of the plane in Italy along with the rest of her team. She was very excited for the Italian Grand Prix in Imola. 

"Did you get to spend some time off?" Pierre's voice suddenly sounded besides her as they were waiting for their luggage.

"More or less" she replied and Pierre gave her a confused look. 

"What do you mean 'more or less'?" he asked not understanding his friend. 

"Well I visited Denmark again because my brothers were home. But you know, family and all that" she shrugged picking up her luggage. 

"Wait you saw your parents again? How did it go?" he asked following her as they were heading for the hotel. 

"It went how it always does, but I got to see my brothers so I don't really care" she replied shrugging again. 

"Are you sure you're okay?" Pierre asked with a worried look. 

"Trust me, Pierre. I'm fine" she said.

The next day was once again media day. Willow had already finished her track walk in the beautiful weather and was headed for the press conference. This time she was paired with Lewis Hamilton which honestly was pretty good for Willow. 

Mostly because Lewis really liked to talk. Not that that was a bad thing. It was actually a good thing because it meant Willow could do less of the talking and leave most of it to Lewis. And they'd probably just ask him about the World Championship and all those question that Willow couldn't quite answer.

After a dreadful long media day, Willow could finally catch a break. And she did so by sitting on a chair outside her motorhome catching some sun and just enjoying the beautiful weather of Italy. 

Or that was until the sun suddenly vanished and a shadow crept over her sight and she opened her eyes starring directly into Lando's smiling face. 

"You're kinda standing in front of the sun" she said looking at him. 

"Oh sorry... can I join?" he asked pointing at the empty chair next to him. 

"Suit yourself" she replied closing her eyes again as Lando sat down next to her. 

The silence was then broken, when Lando spoke up. 

"You don't have to tell me about your family and that phone call, but just know that you can talk to me." he said and Willow opened her eyes again looking at him. 

"Thanks Norris, I guess you aren't so bad after all" she smiled and chuckled when Lando faked gasped and put a hand on his chest. 

"You thought I was bad? How?" he joked. 

"Oh you know, just the usual stuff." she laughed. 

"Unbelievable." he said shaking his head with a playful smile. "But I'm glad you don't think that anymore. Does that mean I'm officially your friend then?"

"Officially? I didn't know you had to ask about those things?" she smirked. 

"Well I mean... I don't know, I guess I was a bit scared" he said with an unsure smile. 

"You're scared of me?" she said laughing even more. 

"You are very intimidating at first! You're like the bad guy who's beating most of our asses in F1 and just racing in general" he said trying to defend himself, but Willow kept laughing.
