"El, please tell me that you have not brought a cardboard cut out of Daniel Ricciardo to the first race of the season."

Pierre Gasly facepalmed his unamused face as his sparkling blue eyes fell upon the figure of his best friend who was walking towards him with a large cardboard cut out underneath her arm.

"Okay then, I won't tell you."

Eliana Friedmann responded without hesitation as she came to a stop just outside of the French man's garage for his new team Alpine, placing the cardboard cut out down so that it was standing straight.

She subtly moved it so that it was facing the Mclaren garage.

"El, please just go and put it back in the car." Pierre spoke in a gentle tone with the girl, since he did not want to raise his voice at her and become angry, knowing that she would occasionally flinch if she was being screamed at.

"Hell no! If Mclaren want to fuck Danny Ric over then they must be prepared to face the consequences and be haunted by his face for eternity." Eliana scowled at her best friend, becoming protective over the cardboard cut out that towered over her.

"Please. For me?"

"I love you Gasoline, but not a chance. I'd marry Zak Brown before I take this back to the car and let them win." The Friedmann girl lifted one of her hands to point harshly at her best friend, seeing him sigh in exhaustion.

"Fine but I'm going to send a message to Charles and see if he can talk you out of this."

"Don't bother."

The brunette shook her head from side to side as she saw the look of defeat upon the face of her best friend, since there was absolutely no way that she was going to let Mclaren win and take her most prized possession back to her car.

She had the idea of bringing it with her as soon as she had met the idiot that replaced him, a fellow Australian that was so ugly and boring and shit that it almost made her want to vomit.

How had the life of the party Daniel Ricciardo been replaced by that freak?

"Oh hey kid."

Pierre's head shot up at the sound of a panicked squeal, seeing the girl in front of him frozen in panic with her eyes wide open and hands shaking violently.

Because Daniel Ricciardo was standing behind her.

Oh, and he was admiring how great he looked in the cardboard cut out.

"Hey Daniel." Pierre greeted his friend with a fist bump, whilst the Australian moved his body around so that he was standing beside the girl who had fainted the first time that they met.

"Pierre, is your friend pretending to be a statue? She looks like she's in pain."

Daniel Ricciardo smiled brightly as he stood inbetween the two best friends, his eyes glazing over the young woman who had instantly frozen at the sound of his voice since he had approached them from behind.

"She's... a cardboard cut out." Pierre spoke hesitantly, not exactly sure of what words to use to describe the situation in front of the two of them.

"Talking of cardboard cut outs, I look great in this, can I sign it?"

Eliana immediately released a deep breath of oxygen since she had been holding her breath, to jolt her head to the side, her hands clasping around her most prized possession and pushed it in to the Aussie man's chest.

"Ohmygodyesplease!"

The two men laughed as they watched the woman desperately holding the cardboard Daniel out to the real Daniel with an abnormal sized grin upon her glowing skin.
