<end of his pov>

Skip to the airport——

Max face lits up when he saw  arthur entering the private redbull plane  " hey there thur, how was Scotland "- asked the dutchman  " fun, I honestly enjoyed that trip " - arthur got distracted looking at  the plane window  while it took off clearly nervous that made max hold his hand  " hey listen,.. umm don't overthink you got this .. ok?"   " the media have already been expecting me to be like dad "- sighed the younger male  " but its ok , hope it goes well for me "- smiled arthur at max " im here to help you when you need me " - mad patted his head smiling too .

As soon as they are in the rbr building in uk Christian was the first one to greet both of his drivers guiding them inside till the meeting room " nervous buddy?"- horner looked at vettel jr "a bit.... But ill be ok i guess "- sighed the boy " go on .. get inside helumt is waiting " " sure.. ok "- the two drivers walked inside getting greeted by helmut himself and some other redbull employees , the team principal got up and said " alright everyone.. lets welcome our new driver arthur senna vettel , hes done great back in f2 and f3 so i saw potential in him , good luck young fella" - he patted arthur shoulder before returning to his seat .

The meeting went well and the factory tour was interesting to say the least he got to meet his garage crew and his new manager " hello my name is marcus lawson , cant wait to be working with you young one"- smiled the 30 year old man " nice meeting you marcus"- arthur shook his hand looking so excited to start his f1 career , hours later he was back at the hotel and called Sebastian " vater , how is mom doing? "- asked the boy " shes doing well , she misses you already "- chuckles seb " also tell me.. how did the meeting go? Did helmut annoy you?" " no.. it went good actually, I still have your helmet you gave me " " keep it i gave it you on purpose...unless you want to make one of your own?" " no maybe later but im happy im having yours with me it's my lucky charm remember?"- yawned the boy getting sleepy " ok ill end the call now.. you should rest baby" "i will.. good night dad " " nighty son".

Note: fernando and checo are retired in this story to focus on their lives 🤓

Fp1 went through and soon after fp2 was over arthur ended in p13 as he understeered in turn3 while max is p4 , instead of feeling disappointed arthur was actually more hyped up to do better in qualifying he rested at his driver's room after meeting with mick , lewis and George having snacks together, he sat down checking his instagram comments on his last post .. he wished he didn't most of them were so mean and harsh saying things that he only got in f1 because of his last name , some even said that he's just there for a show , this caused his to shut his phone down and started to feel so discouraged agin .. just like what happened when he lost the f2 championship due to last corner crash forcing him to retire and lose the standings lead on the last race of the season... tears fell down his cheeks sobbing into his knees .. he thought about what ifs soon after he fell asleep in his driver room , was found by max that woke him up to go back to their hotel .

The ride back was silent ..max tried to open a conversation but the boy was just not feeling it so he let him be to not overwhelm him , on the other side of the earth Sebastian saw how people are mean to his son and to say he was pissed was an understatement he waz livid ... he knew arthur was a shy type and doesnt even hurt a fly... he has to do something before his son gets more hurt .....
