Pierre Gasly

Qualifying went like shit... I ended in P17 after an engine failure. I didn't even reached Q2

After I came out of the car I ignored everyone who wanted to talk to me and went to my drivers room and slammed the door close

Chloe Laurent

I looked at the door of Pierre's drivers room as he slammed his door close. He is so hard on himself sometimes and if something goes wrong he blames himself. But the engine failure wasn't his fault. But he still blames himself for that....

"Pierre? It's me Chloe" I said when I nocked on the door hoping he would let me in. At this moment the only thing is where I could think of was 2019... that was a shit year for him. He gets into a top team, doesn't perform like the team and himself wants and gets demoted back to torro rosso in the middle of the season

After a few minutes Pierre opened the door of his drivers room and I look at him. He was already changed into his normal clothes

"Pierre..."

"Chloe please don't. I know.... I just want to go as fast back to the hotel" he said and I nodded. He walked past me and went to do his media duties of the day and debriefing

I sat in the canteen of Alpine waiting for Pierre

"Hey Elena" said and I smiled at her

"Hey" I said as she took place on the chair next to me

"How is Pierre holding up?" She asked me

"He is upset and almost won't talk to me.... Or anyone else and blames himself" I say. He didn't told me that but I know him wel enough to know what's going on in his head

After a few minutes I got a message from Pierre that he was done and that he was at his drivers room. I told Elena I needed to go and we hugged each other good bye and I went to Pierre's drivers room where I met the man himself

"Hey" I almost whispered and he looked at me

"Hey" he said and I walked to him and just hugged him

"I'm sorry" I whispered, still hugging him tight "don't blame yourself Pierre... I know your doing that now"

"I-I-I I just- I feel bad for the team..." he said

"I know baby but it was just qualifying tomorrow is the race and you wil do great" I said to him and I saw a small smile on his face

"Let's go back to the hotel" he said and I nodded and we walked to the car and Pierre drove us back to the hotel

•••

"Good luck" I said to Pierre before he needed to go and he gave me a peak on my lips "drive save" I whispered when he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a hug

"I wil" he whispered back and gave me one last kiss before warming up for the race with his performance coach Ben

•••

"How is he doing?" I asked his performance coach Ben as we watch the formation lap

"He is oké I think.... He hopes for a great result today after yesterday. He is so hard on himsef" he said and I nodded. All the cars were in formation and it was waiting now for the lights to go out

He finished in P10. I haven't spoken to him since that moment before the race but I'm proud of him he is in the points

I sat on the little couch in his drivers room when he entered the room

"Hey" I said. I stoot up and gave him a hug "I'm proud of you" I whispered and I looked at him

"Me too" he whispered

"I know you wanted ti end up higher but still I'm proud of you and your in the points" I said and smiled at him and he peaked my lips

"Seriously how did I deserve you?" He asked me and I giggle

"Just being your self amour" I said and he slammed his lips against mine again and I smiled
