2021 Abu dhabi Grand Prix

"Get up right now Lenie" I heard someone scream behind the hotel 

"No!" I screamed back and went back to my pillow 

"Lena Cristina Schumacher get up right now or you are gonna be late" Said the voice behind the door who I now recognized as my personal trainer, Alexis. 

I groaned but stood up so that Alexis could come in. 

"what the fuck would I be late for?" I told her as she barged into my room 

"The last race of the season idiot" She said and started picking up my mess. "Shit" I said and jumped to the bathroom. 

I took a quick shower and started to think about how hectic this season had been. I was fighting with oscar piastri for the title and let's just say it has been a very tight battle, not as much as the one with Max verstappen and Lewis Hamilton of course. I was nervous of course but that wasn't the only thing that got me nervous. If everything went well today I would be signing a seat in formula 1 for next year with Alfa Romeo and that meant I could race with my brother and possibly become a world champion. Not to mention the incredible added bonus that none other than Valtteri Bottas would be my teammate. 

I took an incredibly fast shower and ran out of the bathroom putting some baggy jeans on and a team t-shirt. 

"Finally, let's go" Alexis said and we walked to the buffet that was in the hotel. 

I needed to ask Alexis if she could come with me next year, I knew her contract with Carlin expired this year so this would be a great opportunity for both of us, but nobody knew about the contract negotiations, not even my family. I was so nervous about jinxing the contract that I had not dared to mention it to anyone. 

If I signed the contract today after the race I will be telling everyone as soon as I'm done. We reached the breakfast buffet and Alexis put breakfast on my plate. I let her do it because if she doesn't hand me breakfast I know I won't be able to stomach anything. 

I was eating my fruit and chatting with Alexis when I felt someone sit down next to me. I turned to see my brother there. 

"Nervous?" He asked me, putting an arm around my shoulder. 

"A little" I said, eating more fruit. 

"Don't worry you are gonna win. I mean you are starting from pole" He said and stole my fork, the audacity of this man. 

"I know that, give me my fork" I said and took it from his hands. 

"What about you?" I asked him "Starting 19th yei" He said and put his arms up in fake enthusiasm causing Alexis to laugh in front of me 

"That sucks but don't worry I know you'll have a great race" I told him slapping his cheek with a tiny little bit of force. 

"ow?" He said "It didn't hurt drama queen" I said. 

"At what time do Ma and Pa arrive?" He asked me 

"They got here yesterday idiot. They are sleeping in their room and they are gonna come to the paddock right before my race starts at 1? right" I asked alexis, I didn't even know when my race started "Yes Lena it's lights out at 1 so they are coming at like 11:30" She said not even bothering to look up. 

Alexis was my best friend, she has been with me since I joined prema in 2017 and we have been inseparable since, she's so fun and I can tell her absolutely everything. 

"Ok then, i'll be in the Carlin garage with you at 12, see you tiny" He said to me and kissed my head. He left the room and me and Alexis chatted for a little bit. I looked down at my phone and saw it was almost 10:30
