Driving and living (F1 young)

Chapter 4

Théo's POV:

It was Saturday and I was ready for quali.

We arrived at the track and the alpine people made us film with Jack, Victor, Nikola and a few more people, all of them from the alpine drivers academy and from either F2 or F3.

When we finished it was time for FP3.

I don't know how but I finished P4. That definitely wont happen in quali.

Now we had a few interviews and some of us had to go to a fan sing. 

It is incredible how we have a lot of fans and a lot of people is starting to find our category.

Then after that we had a meeting before quali with our teams, I hate this type of interviews.

Ricky's POV:

Now it was time for quali!!

-Okay Ricky you're in Q2- Engineer
-Yess woah!!- Ricky

I drove to the pits and now I'm out on track again.

-In Q3 mate- Engineer
-Copy woah!!- Ricky

And now time to try and get pole position.

-That's the checkered flag, P3- Engineer
-Yeay yeay yeay!- Ricky

In the end Dylan got pole.

The starting grid for tomorrow will be:

P1 Dylan Verstappen

P2 Alex Woods

P3 Ricky Herrman

I went back with Dylan to the hotel and when Dylan fell asleep I stayed up.

I was in our balcony looking to the stars while thinking of everything and nothing at the same time.

Then I remembered that Dylan told me yesterday he liked someone.

I decided to try and figure out who it could be.

I remembered how he was looking at Luan yesterday.

I bet it is him. I wonder if Luan likes him too.

Well now I think is time to go to sleep.

Niko's POV:

Finally race day!

I wanted to ask Ethan on a date and my plan was to give him a note.

As soon as I entered the paddock I saw him there talking with his brother.

-Hey Lance, Eth this is for you- Niko

I said that while winking at him and then I left.

I hope he comes tomorrow to the place I told him.

Now it was time for the race, let's see how this goes.

Lap 7/50

-Niko red flag, drive back to the pits please- Engineer 
-What happened?- Niko
-João and Matías crashed- Engineer
-Are they okay?- Niko
-Yes they are both conscious- Engineer

After 20 minutes we started racing again.

Lap 38/50

-Box, box for softs- Engineer
-Copy, wait softs?- Niko

It was too late when I asked.

Lap 50/50

-That's P17- Engineer
-Fuck it, why did we pit for softs? My tires died way to fast- Niko
-We'll discuss that later Niko- Engineer

The race ended like this:

P1 Alex Woods

P2 Ricky Herrman

P3 Luan Sainz

P4 Dylan Verstappen

P5 Pablo Diaz

P6 Mikas Bottas

P7Julian Schumacher

P8 Ethan Stroll

P9 Eric Johns

P10 Théo Laurent 

P11 Ilias Diakos

P12 Andriy Zinchenko

P13 Noah Davis

P14 Joshua Hansen

P15 Luca Bruno

P16 Nilas Christensen

P17 Niko Jukić

P18 Conrad Müller

P19 Matías Rodríguez DNF

P20 João Costa DNF

Wow what a race.

But now I'm mad with my team, I don't understand why they chose softs when they were shit in our car.

I guess we'll discuss that now because I want an answer.

Ethan's POV:

Lance was helping me get ready for my date with Niko.

I can't believe this is actually happening.

When I finished I said goodbye to Lance an rushed to the place Niko told me to go.

It was a hidden lookout.

It was just us.

We had a lot of fun and also decided to have another date after Australia before we go with our families for that little break!!

I went back and told everything to Lance, he was happy to see me so happy.

I hope that my brother also finds someone one day.
