Mistakes| lando Norris & Charles Leclerc

would you?

I walk into the paddock, I grab a drink and head to the Red Bull garage. "Hi everyone" they were all smiling and looking over at me, "what" Christian walks up to me and smiles, "how would you like to be an engineer, if you want you may still work on the guys instagram and YouTube but this is totally up to you. Start in two months?" I smile and look over at my brother, "you guys are giving me the option to be more powerful, that's great. Yes I would love to"the moment I said yes I knew I would try my hardest to be the second best women engineer Red Bull can have, after Hannah of course.

I walk into the red Bull hospitality, I pick up my phone and call Yale's admissions office.

Yale: hi this is Anna, head of the admissions office at Yale university
Stella: hi Anna
Yale: Oh my god Stella verstappen, haven't heard you voice in a minute. What can I help you with darling
Stella: I just got promoted to be an engineer for Red Bull racing but I want a little more experience, is there a class I can take
Yale: okay honey looks like there will be a program starting in a month, ends in august. It is online
Stella: then that's perfect
Yale: okay I'll start putting in the paper worker
Stella: thank you

I put my phone down and it was quite for a moment, this is what my life is now. I know I have it easy, so many of these opportunities get thrown at me because of my brother but I'm learning to accept it. I also know that the reason I'm here is because I did that on my own.

I walk over to Charles to tell him the good news, walking into the Ferrari garage but I instantly didn't see him. "Hey do you guys know where Charles is" no one knew but Carlos looked up and walked over to me, "with Pierre" I smile and walk over to them, well more like ran because of how excited I was.

"Guess who's a Red Bull engineer"
I say completely out of the blues, Pierre jumpers a little bit then smiled, "hm let's think she's about 5'2 and likes to read for a living" he scratches his head and points at me, "you" I laugh and nod my head. "You are correct Gasly" Charles walks up to me and gives me a hug, he was so excited for me he spun me around. "You should be happy how far you've gone" every word he uses to expresses himself is perfect , there wasn't a time where he wasn't excited about my accomplishments. "You've done great things" says Pierre, that's the first compliment I've heard from him. He gives me a side hug

Kika was in the paddock, I obviously rushed over to her once I was done telling Charles the news.
"Keke" I call out, she turns and walks up to me, "what wrongs" she looked confused, she held my hand. "I'm a Red Bull engineer now" we both jump up and down for a while.

    We get a drink and sit down to watch the race, "I wanted to ask you something, if it's comfortable with you obviously. If not I totally understand" she says, I take a sip from my drink because I honestly had no idea what she was about to say.

   "How did you feel when giving up Blair" I sigh and look at the track, I wanted to answer that question. "Horrible, everyone thinks since I was in my last year of high school I was 18 when I had her, I wasn't I was 17. I got pregnant at 16, what people didn't know was the reason I left home was because I was so focused in trying to be someone, competing with my own brother when he always supported me. I hated being called his sister. I shouldn't have been so mad; two years before the school saw I was far and advanced, I skipped a year meaning I would graduate a year earlier than lando. I was always trying to impress my dad but it was like academics wasn't enough. Luckily the last year I was pregnant and graduated. I would leave to Yale, and lando would tell me he wanted to focus on becoming a formula 1 driver. I knew that was going to happen. But before that we had spoken about giving up for adoption. The minute I saw her laying .

in my arms I couldn't given her up to random people, I didn't want to give her up at all. My mom secretly kept this away from max because I didn't want this information getting to my dad. I called the first person that always cared for me, when a teen running around the paddock. Toto. I was always so close to him since my dad would fly us out to races. My interactions with Toto have always been like family, he's like the dad I always wanted. I asked him if he could keep her and I would supply everything. He said that it was fine and that they would be more than glad to, that whenever I was ready I'd be able to take her in. I feel bad taking them from her, she's so use to them and Toto loves her so much. I feel horrible about not taking her in, I'm going to be terrified of the day she asks why I kept jukes but couldn't keep her" I say, kika was understand and made me super comfortable with how I answered, she didn't answer badly. Not even once. Instead she tried understanding where I was coming from. "Well I'm glad that the decision you made, made you happy. You're an amazing mother" she says, I give her a hug and wipe the tear falling down my cheek.
