"Hello Mick, hello Gina."

Gunther greeted his driver and his sister, before his eyes found the fidgeting brunette girl stood behind them, a few paces behind the siblings, with a coffee cup in her hand.

"Hello, other guest of Mick."

"This is Lennox." Mick introduced the girl to his Team Principal at Haas, before he turned to offer the girl a soft smile. One that didn't go unnoticed by the man in front of him. "She's Gina's best friend."

"Nice to meet you, Lennox. I'm Gunther, his boss." Lennox gulped nervously as the man offered her his hand to shake, biting at her lip as her body began to fill with nerves.

Gunther noticed that out of the corner of his eye, that his new driver was shaking his head softly, as if he was trying to be subtle in informing the man that the girl didn't like physical contact with people she didn't know.

Lennox breathed a quiet sigh of relief as the Italian man lowered his hand without asking questions.

"Hi." She smiled awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable. There was too much for her to concentrate on.

There were too many new people, and she was in a completely new location, one that she didn't know at all, and therefore did not know the escape routes in case of anything going wrong.

People here were friendly, and they often tried to speak to each other, even if it was just as they were passing each other, and it was completely new to what she was used to.

It was a total sensory overload for her, and she didn't know how exactly to deal with it. She wanted to run away, to hide, leave and never return, but she was Gina's best friend, and Gina was her best friend, she couldn't exactly leave her.

She wanted to get to know Mick, she really did, but she always kept her social circle to a minimum. Her dad and Gina, that was the number that she felt comfortable with and she didn't want that to change.

She blinked back in to the situation that she was stuck in, and found the three of them staring at her, slightly concerned.

She swallowed repeatedly, since her throat suddenly became super dry. Her hands began to shake, and her body began to become cold.

"Um, ca-can we go now?" Her bottom lip began to tremble as her breathing quickened, with Gunther quickly nodding his head to his driver before walking out of her personal space, hoping that it would help.

"We can go to my trailer, it's quiet in there, you'll be okay." Mick soothed her softly, being close enough so that he could help calm but chose not to touch her since he had been told previously by his sister that sometimes, touch could make it worse.

Gina intertwined her fingers with her best friend and squeezed, knowing that if she felt Gina's presence, that it would help.

Kevin Magnussen had begun to walk over to the trio to introduce himself, but stopped immediately as he noticed the brunettes panicking figure, recieving a nod of thanks from his team mate in return.

As soon as the trio were in the safety of Mick's driver trailer, the Schumacher's breathed a sigh of relief.

Gina immediately set out to grab one of her brothers sweaters, from Haas, and pulled open her handbag to retrieve her perfume to spray some on it so that the scent was familiar to her best friend.

As she was handed the sweater, her nose immediately took in the scent of her best friend, with her mind immediately feeling much more at ease and safe.

Mick smiled softly as he watched her pull on the sweater, and found that it actually suited her more than it suited him. She looked adorable in it.
