The feel of her gloved hands on the wheel.
Thump-thump.
The burning in her eyes as she stares at the traffic lights in front of her without blinking.
Thump-thump.
The moment her foot touches the accelerator pedal.
Thump-thump.
Jeong Hyeok's intense...
Cha Sang Woo was not in the best mood, he still couldn't believe what had just happened.
Water. He needed hydration soon.
With heavy footsteps, he was heading to the Queens garage to discuss his team's mistakes when a voice perfectly familiar stopped him in his tracks.
"She took us by surprise, didn't she?" said his old teammate.
"She just got lucky," he answered.
"I told you it was in nobody's interest for her to be here."
"What happened today means nothing."
"We'll see if it doesn't mean anything when everyone starts thinking of you as the second driver."
"I won't be second driver. I'm the most experienced driver and I've been in the team the longest, they'll remain loyal to me," he told him with a more exalted tone than he had intended.
"Oh, of course, because they'd rather support you in the championship than the team owner's daughter."
"Shut the fuck up! You no longer belong to this team, you don't know what our internal affairs are now."
"Perhaps you should be more careful about your tone with me, Cha Sang Woo," Cho Cheol Gang warned him menacingly. "Don't say I didn't warn you."

Dutch Grand Prix
After the results obtained in the previous race, the atmosphere in Queens had changed drastically, now it seemed lighter and people seemed to be much more motivated to repeat the feat of the previous weekend.
It was the first day of practice and the two drivers from the team were in their station discussing with their engineers and mechanics the strategies they would employ given the weather conditions and their cars.
Sang Woo watched from afar as everyone seemed relaxed around Yoon Seri and as team members joining their activities passed by to greet her and pat her on the back.
How is it that Yoon Seri had become so relevant in a team that she had recently joined? Worse yet, how had she, a driver with only one F1 career in her life, managed to position herself above him in the drivers standings? For him, it was something unthinkable.
Things couldn't go on like this. That weekend he had to prove to everyone that he was the best driver Queens had.

After the third practice of the weekend, Yoon Seri and Jeong Hyeok were positive about the results they could achieve in the upcoming race. Although everything was new to them, they were both adjusting easily to the car.
The good communication that clearly existed between the two was being a fundamental piece to identify the adjustments that the car required, as well as what they had to do on the track.
