Always By Your Side

Monza

"why the fuck is he trying to push me off the track in fucking free practice" i scream over the radio as yuki squeezes me very close to the wall 

"we don't know lynn" me engineer says 

"tell him to back the fuck off, putain d'idiot que fais tu" i scream waving my hand at him to move 

"calm down lynn" he says again 

"je ne vais pas me calmer, il essaie de me mettre dans le mur, dis-lui de reculer" i scream 

"lynn calm down please and just try to push ahead of him you have more power" he says 

"i know i have more power than that idiot" i say pushing ahead of him and flipping him off as I pass him 

"ok lynn come into the pits" he says after i do two more laps 

"just under a minute left of free practice two" he says 

"just shut the fuck up and let me drive" i say 

i drive into the pit lane and they take the car into the garage i throw my steering wheel out and climb out angrily i take my helmet off and throw it on the table while matt passes me my water bottle 

"he's such an idiot" i say 

"christian got mad" he says 

"at who"

"you, he said your behaviour was uncalled for" he says 

"well you know what fuck him too i don't know what was going through yuki's head" i say walking off 

"you have interviews ella is waiting for you" he says pointing at my media manager

"i know matt leave me the fuck alone" i say going across the paddock to the hospitality and up to my drivers room 

i get changed into a rebull top and shorts since the heat was unbearable i brush through my hair and splash my face with cold water before heading out 

"lets go" ella says 

"ok quickly i'm done with this i want to go home" i say 

we walk to the media pen and she directs me to the first reporter for sky sports i had three interviews to do one for the english sky sports one for the italian and one for the french god what a hassle it is to speak three languages the media duties pile on heavily 

"celine you had a good FP2 today the car was extremely fast do you think you will have a good outcome on sunday and tomorrow with quali" the reporter asks 

"yes today the car was incredible the straight line speed was excellent, as for tomorrow and sunday we hope for the best as always monza is very special and historic so we hope for a good outcome as always and not too much pressure from Ferrari" i say and ella nods 

"as for the monza curse you won in F2 last year do you think it applies to F1 as well" he asks 

"to be completely honest i think that's all made up and if it is true i don't really think it will apply to me" i say 

"oh i'm sorry but we've had word that you are needed in the stewards room" he says as someone whispers something to him 

i look at ella and shes typing something on her phone

"did they say why" i ask 

"they just said they need you there" he says 

"à chaque putain de fois" i say under my breath and ella starts to pull me away by my shirt while still staring down at my phone
