"Evelyn what are your thoughts on this whole new Ferrari driver situation?" Carmen asked me as we watched the Spanish Grand Prix unfold in front of us.

Today it was officially announced that Fred was not extending Carlos Sainz' contract and they had a new driver signed for the next season but would not reveal who that was, spoiler alert it's me.

I pretended to act shocked "It's crazy, Carlos is an amazing driver I don't understand why they couldn't keep him on, we've got to hope someone else will take him because he's amazing."

Charles was the only person who knew I was the next Ferrari driver and I wanted to keep it that way, I didn't even tell Leonora.

I signed the official contract a week ago, I read though the entire sixty page document and they had agreed to keep me anonymous but my contract is up for three years, I was going to be driving with Ferrari for an entire three years.

"It is weird isn't it, it's got to be an F2 driver hasn't it?" Susie joined in the discussion to which we just shrugged, I'm not even in F2.

My assistant was going to have an absolute meltdown when she found out, I'd been scheduled for all sorts of training sessions up until January, shooting days were going to be hard to figure out.

"He is amazing, doesn't deserve this he's had a good start to the season." My dad replied as he began pacing around the garage, Lewis had a crash early on and George was stuck in P7.

My brother Jack was showing me his play cars that Carmen had gotten him for his birthday, "This one is the best one because it's red." He told me as he rolled it across the table.

"Oh really?" I asked him, my dad rolled his eyes at Jack as he was dissing Mercedes without even realising, "Have we got a Ferrari fan on our hands?"

"Uh huh." He nodded not really knowing what he was saying, my dad ignored his comments but his face appeared to be seething.

"If you love Ferrari most you love it alright Jack? Diversity is good, change it up a little." I told him truthfully.

"Don't encourage it, that behaviour isn't accepted in this household." Toto told us but Jack didn't really care, the Ferrari comment was flippant anyway.

The race was soon over and George had advanced into P6, but it still wasn't good enough for Mercedes standards. I picked up Jack and we decided to go for a walk around as my dad immediately organised a team meeting to discuss what they needed to improve on.

"Evy can we look in Ferrari?" He asked as he held onto me tightly, his arms around my shoulders as I held his body upright.

"Hmmm if you don't tell dad we can have a little look, promise me you won't tell dad?" I asked him as he stuck out his pinky to promise me.

We walked into the paddock, it was mostly empty as Ferrari had a podium position for Carlos in second, they're making a mistake thinking I can top that.

"Evelyn! Who is this?" Charles asked as he walked out of his drivers room, his hair was a sweaty mess.

"Charles this is jack, Jack this is Charles he drives for Ferrari." I introduced them, Jack immediately got shy and stuck his head into my neck.

"Two of Totos children being Ferrari fans, now that is uncanny." Charles replied laughing, I rolled my eyes at him as Jack finally turned to face him again.

"Jack do you want to show him your car? I think he will like it." I asked Jack who held out his red car, I placed him down as he showed it to Charles.

He held his car upwards "It is red, the fastest one that I got from Carmen. I think it's a Ferrari." He mumbled to Charles.

"I think you might be right, did you enjoy the race today?" Charles asked him as he admired my brother and the car, he crouched down to his level.

"Yeah. My daddy isn't happy though." Jack told him honestly, Charles emphasised with him as they chatted for ten minutes about cars.

I turned to see some of the Mercedes mechanics leaving the paddock to go to the catering, signifying the meeting was over "Jack cmon we need to get back."

He grabbed my hand, "Say bye to Charles." I told him as he did what I said, waving goodbye "I don't want to leave." Jack told me as he stood up from the ground, putting the car into his pocket.

"I have a feeling we'll be seeing eachother more don't worry Jack." Charles told him, forcing a smile from my brother.

"Cocky." I mouthed at him as Jack and I turned to leave, straight back to the Mercedes paddock where we rightfully belonged.

I lifted Jack up to me as chaos began, mechanics, engineers and strategists from all of the teams all leaving their paddocks at once "So where do we tell dad that we went to Jack?" I asked him.

"We went on a walk to see the podium." He told me smartly, to which I high fived him for. Despite his age Jack was a very smart boy and he was a good liar, that's for sure.

"There they are." Susie smiled as we entered the garage, passing Jack over to her as they had waited for us before they could leave back to the hotel.

When we brought Jack to a Grand Prix we usually stayed in that country longer than the necessary three days, turning it into more of a holiday.

As much as I had a love for Spain I'd decided to fly home without my family, straight back to Monaco. I'd spent the last six months in spain so I didn't really feel the need to stay there for a week and my workout schedule began this week.
