After the whole interaction with max, lita made her way to the podium. Her whole mood now duller but she tried to push it aside and make the best out of the podium.

The podium was just as exciting as usual, this was the one thing lita knew would never get old. The feeling of everyone cheering you on after you try your best and it pays off, the racing heart that was almost just as good as the adrenaline from driving.

after the three drivers: max,lita and lando received their trophies for each of their places, came the fun part. Champagne.

the three received their bottles as the crowd continued to go wild. With a sly grin lita shook the glass bottle before popping it and aiming it at lando however it seemed that he had the same idea as lita and aimed his at hers.

Lita let out a squeal of surprise as the cold liquid showered her, causing her messy braided hair to become wet but in this moment she couldn't care less.

max watched the two mildly amused as he popped his own bottle, but as he was in the middle of doing this his eyes widen in surprise as he unexpectedly became covered in champagne, with the sound of landos chuckling filling his ears.

Wipping his eyes of the champagne, he saw lita standing there, her honey coloured eyes wide with mischief. Her bottle aimed at him indicating that she  was the culprit.

His jaw clenched annoyed but he couldn't help but feel a little...amused? Lando began to chuckle even harder as max took small steps closer to lita, her mirroring his steps but backwards clearly regretting her decision.

"Come on emilian, let's be rational here" lita stared up at him nervously, she knew he was most likely still pissed from the race but now she had gone and sprayed him with champagne aswell. Way to go lita. The crowd watching in pure excitement to see what would happened.

"Oh Lonnie" he looked down at her with an amused smirk "you Shouldn't of done that" and with that he tipped the open bottle over her, a waterfall of champagne spilling down into her hair causing it to become even wetter.

The crowd roared at this, some of the other drivers taking pictures of the historic moment, while laughing their heads off.

As the champagne came to a stop, lita rubbed her eyes before looking up at max with a glare but she couldn't help but let out a laugh, tears now spilling out of landos eyes as he tried to control himself from laughing.

max stared down at his laughing team mate, he half expected her to blow up and cause a scene but she didn't. He couldn't help but feel a small sense of achievement for causing the girl to feeling sometbing other than pissed. One point to max

eventually max came to his sense and rolled his eyes before walking off the stage with his trophy, the crowd cheering him away.

After taking some photos with fans and signing some autographs (along with profoundly apologising to those that hugged her since she was soaked to the bone with champagne)  lita made her way back into the redbull garage, Alex handing her a towel as she did so.

about to walk to her retirement room she spotted Tori, who had her arms crossed. Never a good sign

swallowing nervously, lita made her way over to Tori wondering why she didn't look as happy as before. "Did someone piss in your cereal while I was on the podium?" Her joke was not greeted by amusement

"Christian wants to see you in his office" Tori sighed as she looked at the sight of a soaked lita. It took everything in her to stay professional and not burst out laughing. She should get payed more for this.

"I see" lita bit her lip as she looked away "do you know why?" She looked back to the blonde women curiously

"I'm not sure." it wasn't a total lie on tori's end, she knew that Chris wanted to talk to max and lita about their behaviour towards one another but she wasn't completely sure what he was gonna do to handle the situation.

"I'll go get changed then" with only a small smile lita could conjure up, she turned away and continued her journey to her retirement room to get out of her race race suit and into something more preferably dry.

Her Brian couldn't help but begin to overload with different possible scenarios of what could happen with her team principle, lita was an natural over thinker after all.

Changing into a pair of lilac coloured sweatpants and a white radio head t shirt that was too big for her, she slipped on her creased air forces and made her way back into the redbull garage to go down to Christian horners office.

As she began to approached closer and closer, litas heart beat began to pick up especially since she could hear a loud voice shouting.

"You can't do this."

It was Max.

Lita has always believed that Christian's office was sound proof but she had just been proving wrong. Unless max is just that loud when shouting which wouldn't surprise her.

max's yelling got interrupted by the sound of knocking on the glass door, bringing both his and Christian's attention to it.

"You wanted to see me?" She looked between the two nervously, the engineers down the hall could probably hear just how loud her heart was thumping against her rib cage.

"Come in..."
