That is the sound of Sofia, Ben and Mason scanning their paddock passes to enter the Silverstone paddock. It was race day and Carlos Sainz had gone and smashed his lap and put it on pole yesterday. Sofia had screamed and she'd be lying if she said she hadn't cried a small amount. This was everything she had waited for and she prayed that he would be able to stick it out and get his first ever race win today. She knew how much racing meant to him and how hard he had been pushing himself on and off the track. If anyone deserved to win, it was him. They walked through the paddock towards the ferrari motorhome as Lando came to join them, casually swinging his arm over sofias shoulders as they walked. "hey guys" "hey Lando" "hi Lan" "heyyy" "i'm gonna win today" he said confidently "i'd usually support you on that Lan but my brother is starting on Pole and i have complete confidence that he will win" sofia replied "hmm if you say so. i've gotta go i'll see you guys later" he said. He kissed sofias cheek and walked off. Her cheeks went bright red. "Sof" "yes mase?" "you look like a tomato" Ben and Mason burst out laughing, and Sofia just went a darker shade of red. "i hate you two more than you can possibly imagine" "no you don't" ben said slinging his arm round her and smiling. She tried to keep a straight face but ended up smiling back. Ben is her best friend. There was no way she would stay serious. ——————————————————————— The race was set to begin in an hour. The three footballers made their way into the ferrari garage to wish Carlos and Charles good luck. "Hey guys" "hey charles, have you seen my brother?" "yeah he's over there" he said pointing to just outside the garage in the pitlane. "thankyou" she said and she walked off towards carlos, leaving ben and mason to speak to charles.
"Hola" "Hola sof" "how are you feeling?" "i'm so nervous. i've never started on pole before" "you've done fine from everywhere else. it's basically the same just without any overtakes. if anything, it's easier" "oh sof, i'm so glad you don't race" "heyy whats that supposed to mean?" "yes i don't have anyone to pass at first but i need to hold position into turn 1. i neeed to defend off any cars that get close and have DRS. i have a lot to worry about" "yeah...." he was biting his nails. "carlos, stop biting your nails" "who do you think you are? mum?" "it's showing me your nervous and i get that" she took his hands in hers "but your gonna be amazing. your a fucking talented driver and you know as well as i do that you can win this" he smiled "thankyou sof" they went into a hug that didn't end for a while. Carlos cherished the comfort of his sister more than anything in this world and having her with him before the race helped him relax so much. "i'm gonna go wish charles good luck and head up to the balcony ok?" "ok" ben and mason came over and wished carlos a quick good luck. the three of them were about to walk away when sofia turned round and said "you'll be fine chilli. just be a smooth operator" she said and winked before walking away. he let out a slight giggle before going over to his engineer. sofia ran into the garage and jumped on charles back. "good luck bestie" she said as he spun her round "why thankyou mi amor" she hopped down "you know you don't need to call me that? nobody can even hear us" "i know but it makes you blush whenever i do and it's funny to see you all flustered. that's why i enjoy every conversation you have with lando" her cheeks went red again "that's why i'm enjoying this moment right now. your face blends in with my car" "ok goodbye good luck dickhead" they laughed and charles walked off and sof caught up to ben and mason. ——————————————————————— masonmount via stories
