Over the next few months, Saffron began her recovery. She did go to therapy and had her intern work loads eased. She still got interviews but not as many as she did before as the intern program understood what happened and eased her work load. Today she was having a chance on Sky Sports covering the F1 and F2. "Saffron, welcome. We're so excited to have you join us this weekend." Natalie Pinkham smiles, greeting the girl. "I can't wait. I'm very fortunate to have this chance." Saffron smiles, clearly better mentally and emotionally as well as physically. "We know you were meant to join us at the Imola grand prix but we're very fortunate to have you for Silverstone. We understand what happened and what you were going through. We hope your ready for this next step." Naomi Schiff smiles, give Saffron a welcoming hug. "I've got the right support system around me so as long as I have that, I'll be okay." Saffron smiles. "Okay, guys. 5 minutes until show time." one of the producers says. "Ready?" Natalie asks. "As I'll ever be." Saffron laughs.
"Okay. Hello and welcome to Silverstone for this weekends British Grand Prix. I'm Natalie Pinkham and I'm joined by Naomi Schiff, Nico Rosberg and Saffron Beattie. Saffron, let me just start by welcoming you to the team." Natalie says as the live filming begins. "It's a pleasure to be given this opportunity and to do it at Silverstone." Saffron smiles. "So as our viewers know, every media intern must atleast do a race infront of the cameras. How are you feeling to be doing it this weekend?" Natalie asks. "Well, I am nervous but I think these nerves will calm down as the weekend goes on." Saffron responds.
"Great. So Silverstone, a historical track. Great atmosphere all around the track and what are you guys expecting from this weekend?" Naomi asks. "I'm looking forward to some good battles from McLaren. Since Lando was given some major upgrades in Austria, he really took the fight to teams like Ferrari and Redbull and fighting for the podium. And with Oscar being given the upgrades this weekend, I can see him going and doing the same." Saffron says. "Same as Saffron, I can see one of them getting the podium this weekend. Lando did really well in Austria to get P4 so maybe he can push for a podium as can Oscar. They have it in them to be up there on the podium." Nico speaks up.
"Now Saffron, you have F2 as well as the F1 so in the Formula 2 feature race, what are you expecting considering what you've seen from previous races?" Natalie asks the young girl. "Well, with Vesti on superb form, he is tipped to win here on Sunday. But, the others are all quickly picking up so it will be interesting to see a different winner on Sunday in the feature race." Saffron says with a soft smile, trying not to be biased towards Arthur and Ollie. As Natalie, Naomi and Nico continued to talk, Saffron heads to the F2 paddock.
"We're now going to join Saffron who is with Ferrari academy driver Oliver Bearman." Naomi says as Saffron's camera begins to film. "Thanks Naomi. Yes, here I am in the F2 paddock and I'm joined by Prema driver and home hero Oliver Bearman. Ollie, your home race how are you feeling?" Saffron asks, turning to the young driver. "I'm excited. I always enjoy coming to Silverstone each year. It's just a joy to drive infront of the home crowd and listen to their reaction after each session." Ollie says with a smile. "So, it's your first home race with Prema in F2. How heavy are the expectations this season compare to the last time you were here in F3?" Saffron questions. "Very different. Obviously in F3, you don't have to worry about strategy too much compared to F2. But the expectation from the home crowd is higher this year. We as a team are just praying for a good weekend and some good points." Ollie says.
"Now, you are up against fellow Ferrari Academy Driver and your very good friend, Arthur Leclerc. How do you think you've performed over him considering your on different teams?" Saffron asks one of the questions that was written down. "I don't want to be selfish or spark a fight/argument with him. But, I think we've performed equally well given the talent we both possess. I know the championship doesn't lie but I don't want to say something that'll get me into bother with him." Ollie laughs as does Saffron knowing how much the two drivers value each others friendship.
