Esteban had been wanting to see his sister ever since he woke up on friday morning. She had texted him early that morning that she would board the plane after her day at work had ended, so she should be in Italy just around dinner time. The training sessions had been good for the Alpine divers, both setting decent times. Esteban walked back from the mediapen with George and Mick.

"I can not believe your sister is comming." George had enthousiastically said as the three of them sat down on a terrace down the paddock. Esteban shrugged. "Are you not excited?" Mick asked his friend. "Ofcourse I am." Esteban stated but Mick and George didn't buy it, both raising their eyebrows at their friend. Esteban groaned. "It's just. Toto invited her and i mean, I love my sister, but would it hurt her to date men of her own age." Mick chuckled and George gasped, he didn't know the girl had been invited by Toto. "Is she really dating Toto?" Esteban shook his head. "No." Esteban spit and Mick laughed and showed George the headlines of last weeks social media posts.

"She is Jacks school teacher." Esteban stated as he watched Mick and George scroll trough the photo's. "Yeah I heard him talk to Sebastian about it. Jack seems to really like your sister." Esteban hummed. "She's good with kids, like that." Mick looked at Esteban sideways. "Well, Toto is pretty impressed with her aswell. Whenever he talks to Seb about her, it's nothing but compliments." Esteban groaned again, causing George and Mick to chuckle. "Come on Estie." George said. "Your sister is pretty and single. You shouldn't be surprised that there are more people noticing her." Esteban rolled his eyes and grumbled. "Well, it would be nice if it weren't the people I'm working with and massively older than her." Mick patted his friend on the shoulder. "I know things with Fernando weren't ideal, but maybe this is all it is. Toto thanking her for helping him out with his kid. Toto is a nice guy." Mick stated. "Yeah and he invites people over for the weekend all the time." George added at this. "He'll be my team principal next year, so I could keep an eye out for Grace. I'll be visiting the garage over the weekend." Esteban groaned and slumped back in the chair. "Why couldn't she just date someone like Danny Ric or Seb. They're both her age and nice guys." Mick laughed at his friends missery. "Come on, she isn't even dating anyone." George said. "Yet."

"Well, Seb is happily married. Your sister even taught their kids, so setting her up with him would only add drama you're trying to avoid." Mick smiled as he pulled his sunglasses over his eyes and looked at Esteban. "Maybe Danny." There was a short pause. "But you really shouldn't mendle in your sister love life too much." Speak about the devil and he shall appear. It was as if Daniel Ricciardo felt his ears ringing at the mention of his name and walked past the three friends. "You gossiping about me boys?" He said with a big grin. Esteban groaned and sunk even deeper in his chair as Mick and George started talking about his sister. "Esteban wants you to date his sister." George boltly stated and Daniel laughed loudly at this. "Yeah, she's visiting for the weekend." Mick added. "Oh, nice, Gracie is back in the paddock?" Daniel beamed, he'd always been fond of the elder Ocon.

Daniel had been out with her several times, when she dated Fernando. Not on dates, but just nights out with Fernando and the other older drivers on the grid. He always enjoyed her company, she was a sweet girl. "She's arriving later, accompanied by Jack Wolff." Mick whispered. Daniel rose an eyebrow at this. "Jack Wolff?" George nodded. "Hmh, she's his teacher and babysister apparently." Daniel looked back at Esteban who zoned out from their conversation. "You think your sister is dating Toto, Esteban?" He asked a little loudly. "Shh! Knock it off Danny." Daniel chuckled. "Well, I'd love to see your sister and take her out for dinner, but I leave the dating part up to her." And with that he ruffled Estebans hair and walked away, leaving the three boys to gossip about Estebans sister.

What they didn't know was that Fernando had heard the loud exclamation Daniel made and he was fuming. How could Toto put his hands on such an inocent woman, just mere weeks after his divorce. She was way too young for him. Fernando, clearly not thinking straight, walked into the Mercedes garage and up to Toto Wolffs office. He didn't care that he was in deep conversation with Lewis as he threw the door open. "Alonso." Toto stated as he watched the angry Spaniard walk into his office. Toto had never really like the Spaniard, and now knowing that he had hurt the petite French woman he'd grown fond of, he disliked the man even more. "To what do we owe the pleassure." Fernando balled his fist. "I told you last time. You should stay away from her. She is too good for you." He spat. "And too young." Toto took off his glasses and folded his hands in front of his face. "I don't know who you are talking about." Lewis rolled his eyes at Toto's power play. "You know damn well I am talking about Gracie." Fernando hissed and he took a step closer to the man. Lewis looked warningly at both men, but said nothing. "I don't believe you have any say over her anymore." Toto stated, trying to provoke Fernando. "I believe the end of your engagement was your doing." At this comment Lewis stood up and merged in between the two men. "You don't know anything about my marriage." Fernando hissed. "Oh but I do know you broke her heart. Seems like you're regretting it now. Can't stand to see the girl with another man?" Toto provoked the Spaniard. He liked that Fernando obviously grew jealous of him. "Okay that's enough." Lewis said and pushed both Toto and Fernando away from eachother. "Fernando, go back to your garage." Lewis said and then turned back at Toto. "And you act your age." Fernando turned at that comment. "Yeah, act like the old man you are. You shouldn't be messing around with thirty year-olds." And with that Fernando Alonso left the room and slammed the door closed behind him.

Lewis looked at Toto with a disaproving look. "What was that about." Toto shrugged. "This is some weird dick comparing match. And it makes you look like an asshole." Toto rolled his eyes at Lewis. "You can roll your eyes all you want, but if Grace sees this behaviour from you she'll definetely turn away from you." Lewis stared down at Toto. "Act like the adult you are and don't stoop to Fernando's level. She didn't end her relationship with him for nothing." And with that Lewis left in the same direction Fernando had walked in, leaving Toto with his thoughts.
