Singapore was a bit of a shit show to say the least. 7 cars had to retire due to a crash in lap one because of latifi and unfortunately i was one of them. i had gotten a 5 place grid penalty because of my new gearbox and singapore was always a bad track for us so i qualified 11th getting knocked out of q3 and with the penalty i ended up starting 16th. Max started in 7th and ended up in 6th so overall a really shitty race for the team. lets just say the debrief was a long one i could barely keep my eyes open it went on until 3am and thank god i drive for redbull and the supply of coconut berry red bulls is unlimited, i can't even imagine how the other teams stayed awake.
Japan was a difficult one. i haven't been here since and just stepping out the plane the constant 'are you okay' or concerned looks from people just made it worse. But at least before that i had a few days in Tokyo to enjoy in peace
"its cold i thought it would be warmer it's only the start of october" i say to charles as we walk with andrea and joris
"here take my hoodie i'm warm anyways" he says taking his light blue ferrari crewneck off
"i can't wear this char" i say laughing as he hands it to me
"suit yourself you said you were cold" he says and i sigh putting it on
"we better get to the train station quickly i can't risk being seen in this" i say
"i agree lynn we all know rebull is better" joris says
"jojo watch your mouth" charles says
"why should he, red bull is better" i say
"mhm whatever makes you sleep at night" he says and i roll my eyes
we sit on the train and i lean my head on the cold window hearing the rain hit the glass. i put my headphones on and play my playlist closing my eyes and enjoying the calming white noise of the rain in the background of the music.
"linnie wake up we're here" charles whispers into my ear kissing my forehead
i stretch my arms out and smile, i look outside and see it was already dark
"is it still raining" i ask and he nods
"is it raining this weekend" i ask
"so far those are the predictions but you know they aren't always reliable" he says and i nod
"its ok we'll be fine" he says pulling me in for a hug
"i don't know" i say and shrug against his embrace
"i promise you we will" he whispers into my ear
"come on let's go to the hotel we have lots of media tomorrow" he says holding my hand as we walk towards the car with our bags
-------------------------------
"wait so how many interviews in total for today" i ask while sitting at the table in the media debrief
"about 7 or 8 plus we could have some unpredictable ones that come up" ella says
"and we have to go" i ask
"yes lynn again media is not optional" chris says
"they should make it optional" i say
"well it's not now get up we have a track walk" ella says and max and i groan
"how come the other teams get to go on bikes and we have to walk" max says
"Because we like to take our time explaining and debriefing" hugh says (my engineer)
