Julie POV

I slowly wake up and open my eyes only to realize that I'm not in my room. I look around before opening the door and stepping out to the hallway. 
I walk to the kitchen following the noice of someone making breakfast.
"Oh hi. How did you sleep?", Luisa asks.
It looks like she's making some pancakes.
"Great"
"Oh, you fell asleep last night in the living room and I thought it would be a great idea to not wake you up and let you sleep in the guest room. Lando already left for qualifying and all that. We're alone."
"Okay so when are we leaving?", I ask her and take a pancake off a plate.
"I thought in about an hour. You can shower here if you want and after we can go to your hotel real quick so you can grab a few things before heading to the track."
"Sure that's great"
I watch Luisa finishing breakfast and talk to her a little before we sit down at the table and eat together.
"You know I've hear a lot about you", she says smiling.
"Oh you did?"
"Yes. But don't worry only good stuff. You and Lando have been knowing eachother for a long time now right?"
"Uh yes we actually met when we were about five years old I think. We used to kart together back then. I still know the first time he talked to me. There was a mean boy who said girls couldn't race and Lando came to my rescue and told him 'to go away since he was only jealouse of me'. After that we became best friends and I told him everything. Altough he keeps telling everyone everything because he just can't keep secrets for a long time."
"That sounds so sweet", she says smiling at me.
"It was. I have a photo actually of our first podium together when we were about six years old wait", I take out my phone and search for the photo. After some time I actually manage to find it and show it to her.
"That's so adorable. You and Pierre really look alike", she says looking at the photo.
"You think?"
"Yes, well more when you were little."
"Yeah when we were little people used to say that all the time"
We continue talking until breakfast's finished.
She hands me a towel and I go to the shower.
After we drive to my hotel. I was just about to go out of the car when she hands me a bag.
"Wait. Charles left that for you."
I look at her confused and look inside the bag. There's a ferrari shirt inside and a hat with the number 16 on it. I chuckle and walk into the hotel.
I come out about fifteen minutes later with some baggyjeans on, jordans and my new shirt and cap.
"Nice outfit", Luisa says laughing as I get inside the car.
"I know right"
"Why are you wearing a ferrari shirt and Charles' cap?"
"Because he and Arthur asked me too and since I'm a big ferrari fan I don't really mind. And let's be honest red suits me perfectly". I say the last thing sarcasticaly.
"It really does not gonna lie."
She starts the car and we arrive at the track not even five minutes later.
We get out of the car and walk to the entrance. There are fans waiting for us.
We wave to them before entering. We walk to McLaren and watch the finish of fp3 there.
Ferrari looks really fast today especially Carlos.
We go down to greet them. 
"You did great", Luisa says as she hugs Lando.
"Thanks"
He comes and greets me too.
We talk a little before I say: "I'm sorry but I have to say hi to my brother and the ferraris. See you later Luisa"
I start heading to the alpha tauri garage when I come across Arthur.
"Oh yes you're wearing a ferrari shirt and is that my brothers number on your hat?", he starts smirking.
"Yes he gave it to me so I thought why not wear it?"
"It looks great. Come with me"
He takes my hand and we go to the ferrari garage where we come across Carlos. He starts smiling at my outfit.
"She looks good doesn't she?", Arthur says to Carlos.
"Yes but the 55 would look better. Charles is there talking to som engeneers by the way.", Carlos says and points back to a little circle of people standing there. There's about four engeneers and Charles. He notices us and starts smiling as he sees my outfit.
He excuses himself and comes over.
"You look beautiful with that shirt and that hat", he says giving me a hug.
"Thank you".
I smile at him and he gives me a smile too in return.
"So how do you feel about today?", Arthur asks them.
"The car doesn't really feel good. That's also why I was talking to the engeneers. Something feels off.", Charles says.
"I feel incredible. I think I have chances to win this weekend but I'm not sure. We will see", says Carlos.
"I wish you best of luck but I have to leave now since I want to talk to my brother too before quali. So good luck and Charles you better get good result since I'm standing in front of the cameras as a Charles Leclerc fan.", I say and walk out of the garage.
