Mad Max - Max Verstappen

4. Race and Coffee

It was friday. Which meant only one thing, free practice.

Christian told her to be in the paddock when she wants, but she decided to come as early as possible.

She did her morning hygiene which included shower, teeth brushing and skincare. Then she used a concealer, added some blush and framed her grey eyes with black mascara.

She chose to wear a denim skirt, Red Bull t-shirt what she recieved yesterday and black knee-high boots.

Before leaving the hotel, she had a quick breakfast and when she finished, her taxi was already waiting for her.

Ride to the circuit was short and she was soon in the paddock. Luckily for her, Max left her paddock pass on the coffee table yesterday, before he left and didn't leave with it. Naomi hoped, that she will not see him today, even though it was almost impossible.

Christian told her to do what she wants, so she decided to walk through the paddock. He explained her yesterday, that she can come to work when she wants and told her that this job is up to her and he doesn't care what she does, if the social media are performing well.

Having a complete freedom was amazing, but she knew, it will be tough for her, because she had no idea what to do and where to start.

She also recieved usernames and passwords yesterday to instagram, twitter and tiktok. Next thing what Christian explained to her was, that she is not the only person who has acess to the accounts so she shouldn't worry if she sees some posts, what she didn't post.

After the paddock walk she returned to the hospitality.

"Ah here you are, Christian told me to give you this phone for work" said a man and gave her the phone. Without any other words he disapperead in the crowd.

She held brand new iphone in her hands. She sat on a random sofa in the hospitality and logged to all the social media accounts. Naomi saw thousands of notifications, but Christian didn't want her to work this weekend so she turned the phone off and putted it into her black purse.

"Naomi! How are you?" she heard familiar voice next to her. It was Daniel with his big smile.

"I'm fine, what about you? Ready for the practice?" Naomi said with smile.

"I'm good, but I will have to go now FP1 starts soon" he said. Then he hugged her and disappeared into the garage.

Naomi decided to walk through the paddock one more time. Right after she set foot outside of the hospitality she changed her mind. Fans were everywhere aswell as newsreporters and there was a pure chaos outside.

She went back inside and went to a balcony to wait for FP1.

FP1 went great for the Red Bull aswell as FP2. Max secured first place in both practices and Daniel secured third place in FP1 and fourth in FP2.

She met Max after free practice but for today, he decided to pretend she doesn't exist, which was a pleasant change.

After practices Naomi decided to go back to her hotel. She had pretty bad headache and wanted to get some rest before saturday's quali.

Saturday

When Naomi woke up she felt rested and felt full of new energy. It was a good decision to go to sleep early.

She did her morning hygiene, did her makeup and changed into a black baggy jeans, Red Bull t-shirt and white sneakers.

Naomi didn't go for a breakfast today, but she ate an apple in a taxi on her way to the paddock.
