P3 start for the feature race in Jeddah. It was a good start, but with Bianca hot on my heels I needed to have a good start.

Yet again the red lights flashed, one by one, and when they turned green, I stepped on the pedal. I immediately enable ERS, to give me an extra boost and to make up a place against Pourchaire.
But by lap 10, Bianca was on my heels, and we both needed to pit.

"Alright, Bianca is coming in this lap, box next lap."
I used the next lap to try and make up as much time as possible, but after pitting to hards, Bianca ended up in front. I was in 12th place, with 9 left to pit, provisional 3rd.

Then on lap 18 of 30 laps, I saw a car come off the track and start to flip. I remembered my dream two nights ago.
Turn 22.
Prema Livery.
Bianca.
Bianca had crashed.
"RED FLAG! RED FLAG!"

I knew my 2nd place was secure for the restart so I hit the brakes and pulled over to the side. I jumped out of the car and sprinted towards hers. There were flames coming out of the engine, and I could feel the heat wave smash into me as I ran towards Bianca's car.
"Bianca! Bianca!"
"Help." Was all she spluttered.
I reached into the car to grab her hand, as I tugged hour out of the gap between the Halo and the Side-pods.

I carried her bridal style away from the bonfire that was her Prema car and collapsed onto the asphalt over-run. I took off mine and her helmets and saw her gazing into my eyes.
"Bianca.. your ok."
"You saved me Ollie." She said.
Next thing I knew, I pressed my lips against hers and kissed her deeply. She pulled away first, dazed. We lay there, completely immune to all the firemen and medics rushing over to us both in shock at what has just happened.
