"Someone needs to figure out what this surprise is," Leah radioed back to Isabella. They'd been trying to figure it out for the past two days. Lando had finally told her they would see it when they got back home, but Leah wanted someone to find out for her before. She wanted to know and it was driving her crazy.

"Wonder what it could be, and you have absolutely no idea?" Isabella asked her as Max came in for a pit stop. Leah had just boxed.

"Max is in the pit?" Leah asked as she heard the noise in the background.

"Yep, Lewis's time behind you is 11.292," Isabella informed her. The new adaptations to the car were working out well for their team.

"Does this mean I have redemption from last week?" Leah laughed to herself as she took a sharp corner hitting one of the curbs.

"Leah Guessey just flew over one of the sausage curbs, but she seems to take no damage. She is doing much better than last race, it was one of her first times not making it into the points," John reasoned.

"Yeah, but she has also mentioned that a lot has been going on in her life recently, but she seems to be dealing with it all well now," Ted explained as they watched Max come out of the pits.

"And there is her teammate coming out several seconds behind her, but still in front of Lewis Hamilton, this seems like it's going to be an easy race for Red Bull, Leah Guessey taking another trophy home with her. It's always either Max or Leah nowadays, no one else. We need others to get on the podiums as well," John laughed a little at his own joke. He was being honest, but also joking at the same time. A lot of people thought it was boring that Red Bull always stayed at the front of the race, keeping their positions and not allowing anyone else to be up there.

"Do you think Christian will let me have the ice cream from hospitality now?" Leah asked. Her radio was displayed on the screen so both Ted and John laughed.

"It seems that Leah Guessey was denied ice cream by Horner before the race," John laughed.

"Maybe it was an incentive," Ted reasoned as he held his stomach.

"Unless Max ate it, but other than that he would probably let you have it now, you re P1, with ten more laps to go, Max's time gap to you is 4.202," Isabella explained to her. Leah straightened her wheel coming around the turn.

"He ate my fucking ice cream?!" Leah yelled. Ted and John still laughing about her having a fit while she was driving.

"No, I don't know, I said maybe," Isabella explained, but Leah was already angry.

"You tell him, he better not have eaten my gelato or else we are going to have some fucking words after this race. I mean come on mate!" Leah yelled as she went around the first turn once more. "Ask him?! Someone ask him, I must know, the traitor!" Ted and John waited in silence as Max's radio popped up now.

"Leah wants to know if you ate her gelato from hospitality?"

"No, I didn't fucking eat her gelato," Max scoffed. There was a long silence. "Wait, the chocolate toffee gelato?"

"Oh no," Ted laughed.

"I did eat that, but if she's not talking about that one then I didn't." Max chuckled a little. "I will buy her some more after this, make sure to tell her that."

"Leah," Isabella sighed.

"He fucking ate it! I knew it that bastard! Who does he think he is eating my gelato, he doesn't even like gelato. It was toffee, he doesn't even! Ahhh! I was craving that," Leah sighed as she went around another lap. "Does Max have the fastest lap right now?"
