"A fashion show? Here in Montecarlo?"
"Yes, would you come with me?" Says Lewis.
"I have never been to a fashion show" I say getting in a more comfortable position on the sofa.
"Oh it's nice, I enjoy it every time"
"Ok I'm in"
"That's amazing, I phoned Dior so they book a seat and prepare an outfit for you too"
I smile, he looks so happy. It's becoming normal to wear luxury clothes that I'm not even realising I'm wearing a 1000£ Lewis jumpsuit just to lay on the sofa. I have always loved expensive bags but never owned one, since Lewis knew it, he finds every excuse to buy me one.
The dress Dior sent for me is breathtaking. It's a long beige dress full of golden details with a pair of golden high heels. Lewis bought me also a Dior bag by his own for tonight "I saw you looking at it the other week".
Lewis is wearing a black suit with golden details to match with me.
"I would be a bit sad tonight to see this dress on the floor" he says looking at me.
"On the floor? You already know how the night is going?"
"Yep miss" he says kissing me "and I can't wait"
After a night full of beautiful clothes and champagne, we leave the next morning for the French GP.
"Hi Jack"
The little child hasn't seen me yet and when he turns around he runs to hug me.
"Ciao Isabelle"
Susie and Toto are surprised and I am too.
"Come va?" [How are you?] I say
"Bene sono molto contento di essere ad un GP" [good, I'm so happy to be at a GP]
"Vuoi venire a vedere le macchine?" [Do you want to go see the cars?]
"Can I dad?"
"Yes sure" Toto answers.
"He really likes her" Susie says.
"I am amazed, he just saw her once. He came here a lot and never, never be like that with anyone"
"It's amazing, I like her she's a nice girl"
"If he has to be friend with someone around here I'm glad it's her, Susie"
"C'è Lewis?" [Is Lewis here?]
"Si ora andiamo a trovarlo" [yes we are going to him]
He takes my hand and we walk together around the paddock. Some people are looking at us, they all know Jack Wolff.
"In August I will go karting with dad, can you and Lewis come too?"
"Non lo so Jack, dopo vediamo ok? Se non abbiamo altri impegni veniamo volentieri" [i don't know Jack. We are gonna see ok? If we are not busy we will be happy to come with you] I smile.
"Didn't know she has already a son"
I turn around, it's Max.
"It's not my son, it's Toto's"
"Oh of course, too white" says the man near him.
"Excuse me!" How dare he.
"Low the volume, you know who I am?"
"Unfortunately yes, Mr Piquet"
"Oh so you're not stupid" he smiles.
"Who says that?"
"I did. 'Engineer' they said but all I see is a baby girl probably looking for money"
I smile at him "I'm not like your daughter"
"Sorry?"
"Have a nice day" I stop "the both of you"
Walking away, Jack looks at me "quando avrete un figlio, posso giocare con lui?" [When you and Lewis will have a child, can I play with him?]
"Certo Jack, certo" [of course Jack, of course]
I smile, I've never thought about having a baby with Lewis...
"Lewis, we have someone who wants to say hi to you"
"Jack!" Lewis smiles at the kid "do you wanna see the car?"
"Can I?"
"Yes, come here" he lifts him up and puts him inside the car.
"It's very different from my kart"
"New driver?" It's George
"Hi Russell" says Jack
"Why does he call you Russell?" I whisper.
"I don't know" he laughs.
Croissants, lots of croissants this weekend. We don't even have breakfast at the hotel, I grab some croissants on my way to the fanzone, they have vegan options for Lewis too. Lewis is being interviewed on stage, he wears an amazing yellow outfit, it shows his arms, I love when he shows his arms. I left the croissants to Angela and run to the garage.
"I'm gonna be late, shit" we have quali today.
Sunday is a very sunny day, I'm in a good mood, I have a good feeling.
"Lewis I can see your underwear with this pants"
"are you jealous?"
"Mhh maybe"
"Sexy"
"I'm the only one who can touch that perfect butt, understood?"
"Yes miss, this butt is all yours tonight"
We both laugh.
"Ok let's go, put that butt in the car and get that win"
"For you?" he says before kissing me.
"For us" I say.
"I have a lucky charm this time" he says
"What?"
"I put this fireproof shirt in your luggage and he smells like you, ready to race with me?"
"To the moon and back" I say kissing him, he really has my perfume on.
The race is full of twists and turns, Leclerc crashes by his own while he is leading, Perez looks really slow and for the second part of the race, Lewis and Max are battling madly in the front.
"We need to pit now, before them" I say to my colleagues.
"Why don't we wait?"
"Now and we have some possibilities to win"
"She's right" says Bono and he calls Lewis on the radio "box box"
"Now?"
I open the radio "trust us"
"Copy"
Three laps to go and Lewis overtakes Max, I'm speechless, the whole garage is praying watching the last laps. P3 for George.
"Lewis Hamilton is back, he takes his first win of the season, he wins the French GP" I heard the commentators screaming. The garage explodes.
"He did it" Toto says "he fucking did it, yasssss"
We all run to the podium, he gets off the car and runs to us everyone is cheering, he takes his helmet off and comes to kiss me.
"We won little star, I love you"
On the podium, all the cameras are on him, such as all the photographs trying to capture every movement he does.
"Everyone is watching him" says Angela "but he is looking at you"
And he is, the whole ceremony.
"Good afternoon miss Hamilton" a voice with a Portuguese accent.
"Good afternoon Mr Piquet"
"You won eh?"
I nod and smile.
"Isabelle...oh, Mr Piquet" Susie looks a bit alarmed "Jack is looking for you"
"The little kid. Babysitting now? Weren't you an engineer?"
"She is. And the little kid is my child"
"Oh you must be Susie Wolff then"
"Yes."
"Well, hope not to see you next week, have a nice day" I say and walk away with Susie.
When I open the door, Jack runs to me "we won, we won"
"We did yes" I say hugging him.
"We won" Lewis voice "we are waiting for you for the photos"
Jack grabs my arm "Mom said I can invite you two for dinner with us"
"We are going back home tonight and there is this pizzeria Jack loves on the road, if you wanna join" says Susie.
"I'm in" says Lewis
"Pizza? Oh please yes"
Jack smiles and says "Fidati, sembra di stare a casa tua" [trust me is like being at your home]
The photo of Lewis grabbing my head and kissing me at the end of the race is one of the most discussed photos.
"What do they say about us?" I ask Lewis while we are in the car heading to the restaurant, I'm driving the amazing AMG he took to this GP.
"Romantic, poetic, breathtaking" he laughs
"Lewis" but I'm laughing too.
"So basically, British newspapers love it and listen this 'Has Lewis just win this GP? Yes but the real victory has been meeting this girl, the 23 years old italian may be the reason behind the return of the champion? For his lately amazing mood?' Are you?"
"Of course" I smile proudly.
"Well yours newspapers are not so nice, Italians didn't take it well"
"Not surprised, what do they say?"
"I don't think is..."
"I'm not a child, what do they say"
"Well this one says 'The ex-Ferrari engineer, now Mercedes, is giving her everything to the new team, is it for her boyfriend or is she really willing to help the German team?" Oh, this one is even worst 'Double win for Lewis, on track and on bed' this angle of our kiss is really nice though"
"Save the photo"
"I'm sorry for what they are saying, I know you're not used"
"Believe me after your best friend called you a 'whore', your parents don't phoned you for one month because 'we don't share this decision' and an old champion does racist comments on your possible future child, I don't care like I used to do"
"Wait! You... what? Who?"
"It's ok Lewis, I didn't tell you so you don't have more stress, I'm learning, I know this world wasn't going to be easy, I know my decision would have had consequences and I'm dealing with it"
"You don't have to deal with it alone. Promise me, promise me you're gonna tell me this things from now on"
"But"
"I don't accept a no"
"Fine. I promise you" I stop at the red light and look at him "I love you"
"I love you too"
The pizza is amazing and we had so much fun with the Wolff.
"Can I go on the playground now?"
"Yes Jack but be careful"
"Si mommy"
"He mixes languages, I might have to learn Italian" Susie laughs.
"Good luck with that"
"Ok 4 gin tonic?" says Toto
"I'll drive so" I answer
"Such a good girl" says Susie.
"She's bad just with me and with our rivals strategists"
"Lewis!"
"He's not wrong, I mean on the second thing" says Susie laughing.
"I'm glad I'm helping"
"A win with this car, amazing" says Toto.
"With these drivers and this team it was just a matter of time, I used to told this to Lewis"
"Back in Australia" says Lewis overthinking.
"Australia?" says Toto.
"Always admire this team"
Toto smiles.
"This photo is amazing" I say watching the kiss photo.
"You should have an IG profile"
"I have it. I just don't use it. What do you think can I clean it up and post it?"
"As you wish honey"
I take my phone, delete a few personal photos and put the profile public.
I do a post with the post-race kiss and I write "to the moon and back?"
An hour later he posts a photo of us in the motorhome before the race and the kiss photo "to the moon and back, little star"
