TWENTY NINE
The British Grand Prix was amazing and the race hadn't even started yet.
A sky sports interviewer, Ted, immediately ran and that means, literally sprinted, over to the two Toro Rosso drivers as soon as they arrived together on the morning of the race, with a microphone in his hand.
"Toro Rosso! Wait for me I've got small legs!" Ted yelled as he attempted to catch up to the two drivers who had decided to go for lovely spontaneous jog.
Larissa turned to him, jogging backwards as she smiled, shouting over to him and the cameraman who was also running. "Come on, mate! You've got this!"
Ted smiled as he noticed her teasing smile and knew instantly why they had started jogging without exchanging any words with each other.
"I'm not old! I'm just out of practise!" Ted shouted as he tried to catch up to them, knowing that his cameraman was capturing all of the footage.
"Let's get you in practise!" Pierre smirked as he shouted with the team mates sharing a look of amusement.
"What are you looking forward to for this race?" Ted was forced to yell as he ran to make sure that he got his interview.
"Winning!" Larissa winked at the camera as she jogged backwards.
"Watching her win!" Pierre smiled, ruffling his team mates hair, causing her to stop running and push him in his chest.
"Not the hair!" Larissa faked a glare at her team mate, whose hand shot to his chest as he released a fake gasp.
"I am offended!" Pierre smirked.
"And I am tired!" Ted breathed heavily as he stopped beside the two now bickering drivers.
"Need some water?" Larissa crouched down in front of him, her water bottle that was in her hand extended out to him.
"Let's just have the interview on the ground." Ted smiled softly at Pierre's suggestion, as the four of them slowly sat on to the ground.
"So Larissa, are you feeling any pressure starting from pole after what happened the last time that you were on pole and didn't finish?" Ted asked the Brazilian with intrigue.
"Obviously there's pressure every race to do well as we need points, but yeah, there's some pressure from starting on pole but I know that I will push the car to its limits to get the best result that I can." Larissa answered cooly.
Ted laughed as the Brazilian snatched the cap off her team mates head and placed it on her own to block out the sun from her eyes.
Ted was secretly overjoyed when it had been announced that Larissa Cohen was joining Formula One, since he had been a fan of her father and always used to interview the late Brazilian driver whenever he spotted him in the paddock.
Luiz used to always wave at him as soon as he saw him, and even if he was being interviewed by other people, he would always politely excuse himself so that he could be interviewed by Ted.
"Do you think that your dad is watching over you from above?" Ted smiled softly at the girl as she noticed a pained look on the man's face.
Larissa gulped thickly, as tears threatened to leak from her eyes. Her hands subtly began to shake, something which the camera picked up on instantly.
Pierre attempted to reach over to grab her hand to comfort her but she began to wring her hands together before her teasing smirk returned to her face.
"Nope, but I reckon that he's looking up at me from below." Larissa hid her pain with humor, hearing the three people around her chuckle at her joke.
Ted beamed as another driver approached the duo of Toro Rosso from behind, with them wrapping their arms around the Brazilian and pulling her to her feet.
