August 2013

Well we had officially made it to Spa... It was weird being back to the paddock, mostly because we wouldn't be staying in Ferrari. We were going straight to Mercedes.

We made it to Mercedes where we were created and welcomed by everyone. Everyone loved Michael, like come on who doesn't! It's Michael FREAKING Schumacher! When things started to settle down. Michael and Lewis' PR manager had introduced us to Lewis.

I was a big fan and meeting him was amazing! We talked about his career and he asked me about my plans. He mentioned how we need more women in the sport and he thinks that I would be an amazing candidate to join the Mercedes team. I was blushing so much that I could feel my body temperature rising.

- Lewis, it would be a dream of mine to join Mercedes! Honestly any F1 team!

- Isabella...

- Please call me Bella!

- Alright, well Bella... I know that you will be a wanted women when the time comes for you to join F1, so please remember to consider us. We are no Ferrari... but we do have a lot to offer - Lewis said with a soft smile

I could tell that he was trying to be sympathetic and pay his respects, but he didn't want to overstep why which is why he didn't say much about it.

After our conversation, we had said goodbye and started making our way to Red Bull. Michael knew everyone in F1 and he wanted me to have the connections needed to get my foot in the door.

We are walking up to the Red Bull garage where we see Christine Horner talking to what I would assume is a driver.

- Horner - called Michael

- Schumacher, long time no see! - said Christian as he hugged Michael

- How are you? Where have you been?

- I've been good. Just been at home with the family. They are actually all here today! - said Michael

- Speaking of family, I want to introduce you to Isabella Montes. She is currently going to University to become an engineer and the goal is performance engineer. Let me tell you,  she is the future. She has helped out a lot with Mick on the track. - he says proudly

- Nice to meet you Isabella! I see that you are following in your father's footsteps. He would've been so proud. - he says as he touches my shoulder and all I can do is give him a soft smile

- Well when the time comes, you know you can reach out and we can help you get an internship or even a job - he smiles and laughs a bit

- Who knows maybe you'll even be this guys performance manager in the future! - he points to the curly haired, brown eyed, tall guy that he was talking to. He was a driver for Toro Russo

- I'm Daniel, nice to meet you! - he said with a smirky smile

- Isabella, nice to meet you too! - I said giving him a soft smile

- Well we should keep moving. We still need to stop by Ferrari and then head back to the family. - said Michael

- We'll walk with you, Daniel and I are heading that way.

As the four of us were making our way through the paddock, Christian and Michael were catching up and Daniel and I were talking about F1 and my goals were in F1.

Just as we were arriving at Ferrari, we had said our goodbyes.

- Isabella, we should get together and continue talking about your future in F1. I think you should really consider joining me and some of the drivers for a night out.

Daniel was walking backwards, pretty much yelling across the paddock, while my back was towards the doors of Ferrari.

- I'll think about it! Find me later. - I yelled back

- Don't worry, I will Bella!

I laugh and let out a smile giggle. Just as a turned around, I bumped into someone and fall down. He extended his hand out and to pull me up.

- Sorry, I didn't see you - I said with my head down

- I can see that, you should really keep your head up and be careful where you're going

He walks away before I can even get a glimpse of him. All I could see is his back. He didn't even bother to ask if I was okay or try to even apologize because he also didn't see were he was going... he could've payed more attention.

I was so annoyed and frustrated, but that didn't matter. I had to go into Ferrari for the first time I'm in 3 years and catch up to Michael. Before heading in, I looked at the guys back, rolled my eyes, and said

- What a jerk!
