Charles Leclerc | Formula 1

Nine

I wake up and shower. I'm not at all hungover. I get dressed and get ready to go to the race track.

I bring my papers with me and my laptop. I catch Pierre and Lena in the lobby.

"I'm mad at you" I tell her and greet Pierre and ignore Lena.

"I know" Lena said sheepishly. "What did you do?" Pierre asks lena with a raised eyebrow.

"I might've left. Luisa and I couldn't find you!" Lena says trying to justify the fact that she left me.

"You forced me to drive with Charles. He was a pervert the whole ride!" I exclaim and she smiled sheepishly once again.

"Did he try anything?" Pierre asked warily. I then to him and debate whether or not I should tell him.

"He—" I start but pause. I sigh and smile. "He was just flirty the whole way" I say.

Pierre nods and Lena raises an eyebrow. "Can I ride with you guys to the track? I have a job interview in thirty" I say and look at my watch.

"Of course, let's go" Pierre says and the three of us get in his car. Pierre drives this time.

I was preparing myself in the back of the car and went over my papers and glanced at the time all the time.

When we arrive we split ways. "We need to talk later" Lena tells me and I nod before going to Mercedes hospitality.

I make my way in and see George and Lewis. "Hey guys!" I cheer as I see them. They hug me and as we pull away they ask me what I'm doing there.

"It's not something to mention to everyone but I'm here for a job interview" I say and smile.

"Are you coming for my seat, Lorenzi?" George asks me with a laugh.

"You bet" I say and wink before laughing. "Daniella Lorenzi?" A voice asks out loud and I turn around and see Toto Wolff stand there.

"Yes, Toto hi" I say and hurriedly shake his hand aas he smiles waitingly at me.

"Nice to meet you" I say and smile. "Nice to meet you too, shall we?" Toto asks and I nod and follow him.

"I hear that your brother is racing in Formula 3?" Toto says and I nod. "He is" I confirm with a smile.

"You have a lot of friends in Formula 1 as well, don't you?" Toto asks once again and I nod.

"I do, I have been around for a while" I say and laugh a little. Toto walks into a room and I follow, I see multiple people who I shake hands with.

"It's definitely an advantage that you know how things work here in Formula 1. Why don't you tell me a little about yourself" Toto says and I nod as we sit down.

I begin with the basics, tell him my story, split up parents, college graduate, what I have of experience.

We get onto what the job entails. "I will already now tell you, I do have a job interview later with Redbull. So, I'm open to everything" I finish and they nod.

"I think we have what we need, we will let you know later today" Jeanette tells me and Toto smiles at me and I stand up.

"I'll look forward to hearing from you" I say with my charming smile and shake their hands as I leave.

I walk out with a big smile on my face and go down to the garage. I see practice already started and I watch for a bit before walking through the paddocks to get to AlphaTauri.

"How did it go?" Lena asks me as I catch up to her. "I think it went well, I let them know that I was going to another interview with Redbull later" I tell her and she smiles.
