"Is it Thursday or Thurslay?" I burst into laughter as my Uncle Fernando snapped his fingers in the most sassy manner I have ever seen. "Imma eat this weekend up!"

I was on the floor dying at this point struggling to breathe from laughing so much alongside Lance who too was dying of laughter. "Please... no."

"What, why not? I'm speaking for all of the young people!" I shook my head at Fernando as I pulled myself back up as I regained myself.

"That's going too far tío!"

"Nando you are in your 40s, not 14 years old," Lance said as my uncle let out an offended scoff.

He snapped his fingers in front of Lance's face once again in a rather sassy manner, "I'll have you know I'm very down with the kids!"

"I think this is my sign to leave and go find the boys," I patted Lance on the shoulder before wishing him, "good luck with Fernando."

I then gave my uncle a quick hug before leaving the Aston Martin garage. George had finally told me his big idea and apparently instead of me being in the Mercedes garage at Silverstone, I'll be in the Mercedes garage mainly this weekend. Which gives me the opportunity to roam free at the British GP.

It was only media day today so I was just going to be wherever the world wanted me to be. It had been raining all day so far and I believe it would be continuing to rain throughout the entire weekend which was a bit of a bummer but I didn't mind. I actually loved the rain.

As I walked through the paddock trying to stay in the shelter I searched for any of my four boys who may be out and about. When I had walked around the entire paddock now rather drenched due to the rain I gave up on finding any of them and headed to the McLaren garage.

"Please tell me Lando or Oscar are here?" I asked one of the pit crew members who I knew pretty well.

He nodded his head, "Lando is round back."

"Cheers," I then ran round back to find Lando on the phone to someone.

He quickly spotted me and gave me a big smile before then noticing the fact that I was drenched, "alright, well I'll call you later Maria has just walked in looking like she took a shower in her clothes."

Lando then ended the phone call, "max?"

"Max... why are you absolutely drenched?" He questioned looking me up and down.

"I walked round the entire paddock trying to find you or any of the boys but obviously you were all hiding away from the rain and I didn't have an umbrella or anything," I admitted as he ruffled up my hair which was currently stuck on my face.

"Idiot. Do you have a change of clothes or anything?" I quickly shook my head. "Follow me, I may be able to find something for you."

He then dragged me all the way through the garage and after a very quick 3 second run through the rain we headed into his drivers room. After a few seconds of him digging through his bag he brought with him he chucked me a pair of joggers, a hoodie and then a McLaren rain coat.

"What about a top?" I asked giving him a big smile.

"Hang on a minute!" He rushed out of the room and came back about a minute later with a McLaren shirt in hand. "I'm really repping the McLaren merch today."
