I looked at George walking away. I was questioning why Lando would tell George who I was. I don't even know him, and he doesn't even know me. I turned around and walked past the pit boxes. When I walked past the McLaren pit box, I looked inside. Lando spotted me and a shy smile appears on his face. He kept staring at me, when suddenly his face expression changes. He stared at the bottle from George I was carrying with me. He was about to say something when Daniel yelled my name. I looked at Daniel and he waved and smiled, and so did I. I later carried on walking to the Red Bull pit box, it wasn't far it was next to McLaren and Mercedes. I saw mechanics working on Max's car, one under the car, the others were still working on the smallest details and changes. Max leaned against the wall, watching them with his helmet on the long desk beside him drinking Red Bull. I walked over to Max.

"Where have you been all this time?" Max asked shaking his head.

"I was trying to find the restaurant you were talking about" I crossed my arms. 

"It's in our hotel, not here in the paddock" Max started to chuckle.

"Are you serious?" I rolled my eyes being annoyed, and I drank some more from the bottle George had given me earlier.

Drinking from my bottle, Max started looking at me like I was a ghost. I frowned, and stopped drinking.

"What is it?" I asked as I put the bottle away.

"How did you get that?" He asked, pointing at the water bottle. 

"Got it from George" I said soberly, I knew that Max now had a hundred questions.

"When?" He asked.

"Well, I bumped into him and I carved for a drink. So as nice and friendly as he was, he gave me his drink, I'll give it back after these sessions." I said innocently.

"You make friends quickly Lila" He said glancing at my shoes.

"Are you nervous?" I asked to change the topic of the conversation.

"No, I'm very relaxed" he shrugged. 

"Sometimes I really wish I could be like you." I said staring at my shoes.

Max could always remain calm, and he coped well with pressure. And I can't..

"Hey, you're as good as you are" Max said, trying to cheer me up. He laid his hand on my shoulder and smiled. 

I nodded and looked down. 

"Max, let's get started" Max's his engineer yelled and waved. 

Max nodded and puts on his helmet. He climbed into his car, and I walked to the back of the pit box. There was a pair of blue headphones to muffle the sound. I picked it up, and put it on as I sat down on the chair. I could watch the first free practice session on the TV in front of me. I grabbed my phone, and got into Instagram. I wanted to let Max know I supported him, so I posted on my story a picture of Max he made earlier with my phone.
