About time ft. Pierre Gasly

Weeks flew by, and so did Aimée her appearance in DTM. Kelvin was back on his feet, which meant that she was the reserve driver again. The other two races left her with two top step finishes, as she finished both in Zolder as on the Nürburgring in first place in race 1. Race two was in both races not so fortunate, as she finished 8th in Zolder and had a DNF on the ring. 

For the Formula 1 the summer holiday was over as well, with both races being good for one half of the AlphaTauri teams with Pierre finishing 6th and 4th. Yuki unfortunately had a malfunction on his car in the Netherlands, which saw him retire the car. The team therefore hoped that Monza would do them good and leave them with some solid points.

Aimée entered the paddock on Thursday with her grandfather and left him when they passed the RedBull hospitality. Aimée would have her final weekend with AlphaTauri, before moving over to RedBull for the next race and analyze Sergio. She felt excited to make the switch for the remaining races of year and move over to AlphaTauri again at the start of the next season. She entered the hospitality and ordered herself an espresso before heading to her room to prepare for the analysis of Yuki.

Thursday was always a short day at the track. Aimée actually used the time to work on her report. "Want a brownie? I tried to make the avocado ones and I do have to say that they're good." Noel entered Aimée her room and held out a tupperware box with a few brownies in them. "Is this from the recipe I send you?" Noel nodded his head, "yeah they are. I also tried the dade ones, those were so chewy, I actually ate the entire tray in one night with my girlfriend." A chuckle left Aimée her lips, "I know what they're like, hard to resist huh?" Noel nodded again, "but these as well." Aimée took one brownie out of the box and took a little bite. She could taste the hint of avocado, but was overwhelmed by the deep chocolate flavour as well. "These are like heaven, let me take a picture of it quickly." Aimée took out her phone, only to place the photo on her Instagram Stories. "Let's start a healthy baking club between the two of us and make the guys some healthy snacks, I would want to see who doesn't enjoy this. Can I take one to my grandpa and Christian?" Noel smiled at the brunette and nodded heavily, "I love that idea, I will share my recipes and then let's see which one we'll make. Take the box, I only have three left."

A few minutes later Aimée left the hospitality and almost bumped into Pierre. "Again? I know you're attracted to me, but this is becoming a bit too much." Aimée hit Pierre his chest, making him smile. "Whatever, brownie?" Pyry shook his head while Pierre grabbed one out of the box. "Two extra rounds for you if you eat that." Pierre rolled his eyes and took a bite of the brownie. "These are very good, what's in it?" Pierre investigated the piece in his hand as he could tell it wasn't a normal brownie. "Avocado, dades and some other healthy stuff, no sugar or anything with loads of carbs." Aimée looked sideways to Pyry who was impressed by it. "Right, no extra rounds then, but press conference right now." Pyry pushed Pierre away from the brunette, who smiled and waved at him before heading into the RedBull hospitality to find her grandfather and the teamboss.

"All right Pierre, time to push." Pierre started the sprint into the last round of qualifying for the sprint race. I just need to push a bit more, was what he said to himself. "That's it Pierre, sixth place for the sprint race tomorrow." Pierre was excited, this was the best result possible, and he did it yet again. Pierre drove the car in the pits and lifted himself out of the car when it was in it's place. He shared a look with Aimée on the other side of the garage, who put her thumbs up immediately. She was happy for him, and knew he deserved every bit of it. Pierre left the garage and sat down in his driver room to cool down. "Will you have dinner with the crew or do you have other plans?" Pyry helped Pierre with his stuff and handed him his clothes. "I made dinner plans with Yuki, Max, Sergio and Aimée, why?" Pyry shook his head, "just wondering. Movie night again with Aimée?" Pyry showed a cheeky smile and received a push from his driver, "shut up, but no, we have a to film a challenge with RedBull afterwards. And after that my bed waits for me." Pyry aims for the door when asking his final question, "with or without Aimée?" Pierre grabs a pillow from the couch to throw at his trainer, but he already left his driver room. Pierre shook his head and grabbed his stuff, ready to leave.
