2022 British grand prix

Friday

It was raining as I got to the garage for free practice 1. 

Most teams were bringing big update packages to Silverstone but not us. 

We were waiting either for Hungary or after the summer break they weren't sure yet. I got into the car as Alexis handed me my helmet and I connected the radio to the car. 

"So it's raining cats and dogs out there" I said looking outside the garage as they rolled me out. I started driving the cars on inters but it was weird honestly. 

There were some parts where I could feel every single raindrop on my helmet. Talking about my helmet so many people were saying that I should have a special design but honestly no home races meant I had no inspiration for special designs like Mick, he had one of Michael's designs for the weekend which was cute because he was here. 

 I got in one fast lap before I needed to go back to the garage but Valtteri got the fastest lap so win for the team.

 It was way too tricky to be out there today. 

Then in practice 2 it was finally dry, so much wind but hey it was dry. 

I got into the car and headed into the car taking a few warm up laps around the circuit. 

"Fast lap next please Lena" Ilmari said and I pressed the okay button before pressing on the gas in the straight. 

I went into Turn one nicely while preparing for turns 3, 4 and 5 which were back to back. and heading into the second straight at full speed making me relax. I headed into turns 6, 7 and 8 without a problem and got ready for turns 10,11,12,13 and 14 passing those smoothly too. 

I got into the last long straight before taking turn 15 and heading to turn 16,16 and 18 and pressing on the gas by the straight. 

I passed the line and waited for confirmation as I did another lap around the circuit. 

"That put us in P8 Lena, amazing lap. Come to the garage and we'll go back out" Ilmari said and I smiled to myself. 

"Copy" I answered and went back into the pits. They rolled me into the garage as they put the TV's by my car and I analyzed the data and the weather. 

"The wind is crazy out there" I said into the radio as my dad knelt down next to my car. 

"Hey" I said, taking my helmet off and putting it by my legs. 

"Great lap Kleine I have some notes to make you go faster" He said and I smiled. 

That's the MIchael I know. 

"I think you can take turn 7 deeper and a tiny bit faster. If you turn the steering wheel before pressing on the brakes and then the gas you won't spin" He said and I nodded, taking mental notes. 

"Okay" I answered and looked at the TV in front of me. 

"Are you okay?" He asked and I nodded slightly. 

"What 's wrong?" He asked and I sighed. 

"I don't know I have a weird feeling for Sunday but I don't want to focus on it" I said quickly and he nodded. 

"I get it, it happens" He said and I smiled 

"Thanks Pa" I said and he patted my head before standing up and going somewhere else. 

I couldn't shake that feeling away from me. 

I didn't know what it was. It was some kind of dread in my body and something was worrying me and I couldn't place what it was.
