Street vs Track - Lando Norris

55

Sunday - Mexico Race

Nat

+Its lights out and away we go!

The race begins, and everyone is now holding their breath. Myself included. Max stays in P1, as well as Lando stays in P2, and Charles in P3. Daniel is coming close behind them. Alex and George are gaining some ground.

"So Lily how is life as a professional golfer and the girlfriend of Formula One driver Alex Albon?" I ask.

"Oh, you know one thing after another, trying to keep my career alive and be supportive of Alex."

"How can I do that? I want to be there for Max and Charles but I have a life I am doing some modeling work and I am going to be away for a while." I reply.

"Well, first focus on what you want, your friends and family will wait for you."

"If they don't?" I ask.

"Well then you don't need them 'cause we girls are going to be with each other no matter what," Lily replies.

"We will see each other whenever we can," Charlotte replies.

"100%" Kelly exclaims. I then smile at all of them as the race continues.

*********

+3 laps to go.

-Yes! Charles is now in P1 because Max Verstappen's Pit stopped letting him gain a position and then when DRS was enabled he snuck past Lando.

+Max is now charging toward Charles after overtaking Lando.

-Lando is clearly in the top 3 for this race as the gap between him and Alex is 10 seconds with Daniel behind and Pierre behind Daniel.

+These three are going to be at it for these last three laps.

**********

"Who do you think is going to win?" I ask.

"These three are good friends off and on the track. I know whoever wins the others will be happy for them." Kelly says.

"Wow, Kelly calm. Anyways we should probably get down there it is coming closely Max and Lando keep overtaking each other and we are about to go into the final lap." Charlotte says to everyone. We all nod and agree.

"Auntie Nat?"

"Yeah, kiddo?"

I then pick P up and place her on my hip as we go to the pitlane.

"Is Maxie going to win?" She asks.

"I have no idea but promise if he doesn't cheer him up for me," I reply. She nods and giggles. I then put her back down on the ground, and she ran to Kelly as we all entered the pitlane. The final lap begins.

Turn one is being entered. Charles led the three, with Lando behind and Max just behind him.

+Charles Leclerc leading the three that keep fighting for the winner's spot. Max now just overtaking in turn three.

-Hang on though we are heading in the DRS zone and Lando has it. BOOM! Overtakes him again.

+It seems like it is a battle for P2 because no one has been able to touch him. We are now coming into the third last corner. Lando is clinging onto P2.

-Charles Leclerc is the winner of the MEXICAN GRAND PRIX!

+Lando Norris P2, Max Verstappen P3.

I and the girls all cheered and screamed as the girls did a cool lap. I hugged the girls with excitement and joy. I then see Victoria coming towards me and she hugs us all together as well.

The guys come and park their cars behind their signs. Then they all jumped into their teams, and they all cheered for them. I then see Max and he hugs P and kisses Kelly on the cheek. Victoria and I then crushed them in a bear hug.

I am the first one to pull away. I then let them finish their hug and I go see Charles who is getting an enormous amount of compliments from Charlotte. I smile and go to him hugging them both.

"I have something to tell you both. Before you go to the podium meet me at the Ferrari garage." I say. I then go over and I hug Daniel.

"Forgetting someone?" I then turn around and I see Lando standing there, hair sweating and getting his gloves off. I then hug him.

"Congrats, you did well today," I reply. He then smiles and hugs me again. I then see Charlotte and Charles waving at me from the Ferrari garage. "Have fun on the podium." He winks and leaves for his interview. I then walk over to the pair.

"What is going on? I have my interview?" Charles asks.

"I am leaving. Like right now. No one knows except for Victoria. Tell everyone tomorrow morning after the party. Just say I wasn't feeling well." Their faces turned white. Then their eyes started to water. Without saying anything they both embraced me with a hug.

"Why now?" Charlotte asks in between sobs.

"It's time for me to go, but don't worry you will see me soon," I reply to her. I then pulled away from them both and wiped Charlotte's tears from her face. I then turn to Charles.

"Don't hurt her while I am away. I don't want any bad phone calls causing me to rush to wherever you are in the world." I say.

"It isn't going to be the same without you." He responds. He then wipes a tear and puts on the number one cap.

"Compose yourself and go to your interview. I love you, Charles." I say. I then hug him again. He kisses my head and lets go hesitantly. I then watch him walk away to his interview. I then turn to Charlotte.

"Don't miss me too much. I love you Charlotte, but it is time for me to leave and find my path. Go support him." I say. I then hug her as well. She looks back at me and wipes her tears gains all the composer she has and then goes to the crowd as the last few interviews are finishing.

All three of the boys then go to the podium and collect their trophies. As I watch Charles lifting his trophy our eyes connect. He waves to me and kisses the trophy. My eyes start to water as some confetti drops and everyone starts to spray their champagne. I take a few steps back away from everyone. As I walk further back into the distance everything starts to become a blur. I turn and walk with a smile on my face.

I am walking away from everything I know. Everyone I know. But this isn't goodbye, this is just simply see you later.

Hope you like this chapter.

Sorry for the break, but hopefully this chapter makes up for it. In my next chapter during Nat's time away, she makes new friends and makes memories for a lifetime, and her coming back to F1 will be the greatest. So at the start will be the main events of her time away.
