I put on my black pantsuit and a high ponytail, grabbed my phone, wallet and key and walked out of the room. 

I went to the car I had for the weekend and drove out of the hotel parking lot to the restaurant Charles told me. I played my music with the windows down just enjoying the bahrain night breeze thinking this was definitely one of the best days of my life, tied with the time I won the formula 2 championship and when my dad took us to the Monaco grand prix in 2011. 

After around 25 minutes of driving I reached the restaurant and left the car in the Valet parking as there were a lot of photographers, guess someone tipped them off. I went inside the restaurant and went to the hostess stand. 

"Hello, what can I help you with?" she said, smiling at me 

"Hi, I believe they are already waiting for me." I said and she nodded 

"You're with the drivers right?" She asked and I nodded "Follow me" she said and I followed her to the back of the restaurant where all the drivers were sitting down. 

"Heyy, Lena" Charles said to me as I sat in front of him and everybody else said their hello's after. "Hey everybody" I said. Mick was on my right, Daniel on my left. 

The waitress brought a menu to me and said "would you like something to drink?" she said "yes, a strawberry margarita please" I told her "Be right out" she said and left. 

"So how was your first day in the car?" Pierre asked sitting next to Charles "Good actually, but  my neck is so sore" I said laughing a bit. "Yeah, that also happens at the end of summer break" george said "Can't wait" Lando said sarcastically. 

A silence took over the room while everyone read the menus. The waitress brought my margarita and asked around the table 

"Ok, what is everyone having to eat?" she said, taking out her notepad. 

"I'll have the spinach soup and the fish" George said. Everybody ordered stuff like that, healthy and with a lot of vegetables. "And for you ma'am?" the girl asked me 

"I'll have the chicken alfredo pasta and an order of garlic bread" I said handing her my menu, everyone looked at me with wide eyes except for Mick. "What?" I asked them, taking a sip of my delicious margarita. 

"You ordered pasta" Carlos said "On race weekend" Lando continued and Mick laughed at them "How?" Pierre asked 

"I can eat whatever I want because no matter how much I eat, with the training I do I'll still be lighter than all of you, and i'll have less muscle mass" I said and smiled 

"Even lighter than Yuki?" Alex asked and everybody laughed but looked at me for the answer "Even lighter than Yuki" I said shaking my head 

"But like why?" Lando asked 

"Look even if I'm taller than Yuki men are naturally heavier with more muscle mass, especially you strong fucking giants. So even if i'm a little bit taller than Yuki by genetics and nature i'll still be lighter" I said and everybody hummed in agreement. 

"That's so cool, imagine we could eat whatever we wanted in race weekend and not some stupid spinach soup" Max said as the waitress arrived with our plates, she gave me my pasta and garlic bread and handed everyone else their disgusting vegetables. 

"Omg Lena that looks delicious" Charles said from in front of me "You want some?" I asked him 

"No I could never, Andrea will kill me" He said and I told him 

"It's not like he needs to find out" I said handing him a fork with pasta. He ate it and groaned "Omg that's delicious" he said and handed me my fork back
