When the first female F1 driver is announced, no one expects her to get on so badly with Ferrari golden boy Charles Leclerc, but do they really hate each other as much as it seems?
The Saudi Race was once again a bad race for McLaren with neither of us finishing in the points. However, I managed to make it to Q3 in qualifying, although I only got 10th in that, out qualifying Lando.
The only thing that kept me going was knowing there would be a killer party tonight. Max had won again and he was hosting a party alongside an Arabian millionaire or billionaire (I wasn't sure which) so it would be filled with cool people. Rue was constantly reminding me of my deal and I wasn't the sort of girl who broke promises.
Getting ready for the party was such fun. All the WAGs of the grid got ready with me and Rue, and I bonded hard with Pierres girlfriend Kika and George's girlfriend Carmen. They were so in love with their boyfriends and I slightly wished I had what they did. I'd never really been in many relationships as driving had consumed my life, but the few I had been in had not been good. I didn't enjoy thinking about them.
Me and Kika both wore pink for the party and Rue kindly took some photos for us.

We arrived at the party on time (a once in a lifetime occasion for me and Rue) and it was already bustling with people. The venue was like a massive club along with a pool and beach next to it. The views were gorgeous but I headed into the bar to grab my first drink, also intending to scope out some potential guys.
I ordered a mojito and observed the partiers. All the drinks and food tonight were free which only meant Rue (and most likely me) would get hammered trying to make the most of the free alcohol.
I was watching Rue flirt with Lando's friend Max again, when a different Max approached me- Max Verstappen.
"Edom right" he smiled at me, holding out his hand.
"Yeah" I accepted the hand shake with a grin. "And you're the winner of the weekend! God I wish I was in your shoes."
"Hahah thanks" He chuckled "It sucks for you and Lando in McLaren. I don't know you too well but I know if Lando had the right car he could easily be fighting for the championship,"
Max and Lando were firm friends from what I had gathered from what Lando said about him. I thought it was sweet what he just said about Lando.
"I'd like to say the same about myself" I grinned
"Well hopefully I'll get to know you better then" he smirked. Was that a flirty tone I caught in that statement?! Surely not, Max could get any girl he wanted as current World Champion and he probably already had a girl on the go.
We chatted a little more about the race whilst we both sipped at our drinks. Max had a whiskey and I wasn't sure why but I felt the drink was very fitting for him.
