it's saturday, which means it's qualifying, which means we're going to the paddock
I haven't been on a circuit for years
so I can't wait to be there again

I got dressed
and then I went to the front of the hotel where my father was waiting for me
I went with him in the car, a very beautiful black Mercedes
he laughed at me because I dressed in the color of the enemy
it seems silly to me
but finally..I arrived at the paddock
I went to the mercedes garage where I had to say hello to everyone even if I didn't even know them all
after that ordeal I saw the perfect person at the perfect time
Mick was coming towards us
I went in front of him, hugged him and said in his ear "just nod yes"
"Dad, me and Mick were just going to show me around"
"ok, be careful, come back until we inspect the circuit" my father told me while I was running with Mick
"is it so bad to spend time with your father?" Mick asked me laughing
"no, but he wanted me to say hello to 500 other people and I'm already tired of hearing the story of me from the age of 10 when I doodled on a wall in the Mercedes garage" I said
"interesting, I want to hear the story" said Mick to annoy me
"no, you don't want to..what can we do here?" I said
just then someone came to us
"Maya Wolff and Mick Schumacher" he said
"Dani!" I screamed and jumped into his arms
he hugged me and then greeted Mick as well "I really hope to see you this year" he said smiling
"yes, we were both lucky with dad..by the way, you're not at McLaren anymore?" I said
"no, now I'm at Red Bull, the third pilot, but at least I'm something" said Daniel
"I know how he feels" said Mick and put a hand on Daniel's shoulder, laughing
"so, back to important things, what can we do here to have fun?" I Said
"oh i know, at the Red Bull monostop, we have a karaoke machine on the terrace," said Daniel
"perfect, can you sneak us in?" I said smiling
"I think we can go in through the back" said Mick
"I have a better idea, I go in first and then you come after me if it's free" said Daniel
and that's what we did, we went to the red bull terrace and all three of us sang a lot of songs at karaoke, Mick laughed at us more than he sang, but it's acceptable as well
when we looked at the clock, we noticed that an hour had passed, that is, father had already finished the walk on the circuit
"Mick, we have to get to the circuit immediately" I said seriously
"how do you want to do this? they are most likely at the halfway point of the circuit, you won't reach them on foot," said Daniel
I stayed for a few moments to think about something "on foot, no, but with Lewis's scooter, yes," I said
I went with Mick to the garage where Lewis's scooter was, but until then I wrote to Lewis and he said we can take it, but not to scratch it
Mick and I also got on it and left for my father
I walked for about 10 minutes in the terrible heat
I felt like the sun's rays were getting under my skin
it was terrible and on top of that Mick kept moving behind me and we were about to fall 3 times
but we arrived
and dad didn't seem happy
"Lewis take the scooter" Dad said angrily to Lewis
"where have you been?" father asked us angrily
"we walked" I said
"Maya, why did Horner call me to tell me that my daughter and one of my drivers were on the Red Bull terrace singing karaoke?"
"Daniel called us" I said
"obvious that Daniel was with you..Maya, Mick, I really want you to have fun, but please, stay out of trouble" said father
after that the preparations for the qualifications began
___
the qualifications they were not perfect, Lewis p7 and George p6
after the qualifications I was invited to have dinner with some drivers
when I entered the hotel restaurant, at the table were Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Carmen (George's girlfriend), Lando Norris and Logan Sargeant
I met Logan and Carmen and I was happy to see the others again
the evening was a beautiful one, I ate, I relaxed and then I went to sleep
but I still have Charles in mind. Today I didn't see him except when he got out of the car to give an interview because tomorrow he starts from p3
I don't know how it is that I can't take my mind off him
I saw him only once after a long time
it has changed a lot since then
he seems bigger, more mature, more beautiful, hotter
I don't know what my father would do if he heard me
until now he didn't force me to be with a boy and he didn't get involved when it came to it, but now it would be different, because Charles is part of my father's enemy team
God, I'm going crazy, I'm thinking what it would be like to be together, but I've barely seen him once in 3 years
I really need to sleep
besides that, tomorrow is the race and I have to be with my father
