Qualifying has not went in litas direction at all, her mind was so plagued with thoughts about why her father was lurking around the paddock that she could barely focus on her driving causing her to score p10
P10...
She was livid
She knew if her dad got a chance he'd lecture her just as he had in her karting years, being the best was the only thing that mattered to him even if he never said it out loud lita knew...she always knew.
But as lita stood in the garage she held in an annoyed sigh as the man himself came stoking up to her
"I see qualifying didn't go quite as you planned yesterday Lou, I know you hate losing" the older man said smoothly but lita knew exactly there was a meaning behind his words...'you should of done better lita, my old colleagues are watching you let them down as always do'
"It's just qualifying" the brunette shrugged "it's not todays results or did you forget how racing worked while you were to busy with your other children"
That caused his face to pale slightly "I still watched your races on the tv Lou, never missed one of them." William spoke up with a guilty tinge in his voice.
'But you never came to support me because you never had faith a girl could make it in f1' sat on the tip of litas tongue but she held it back making it her tongue feel heavy, she didn't want to start anything
"I appreciate it papa" a small smile twitched on Williams lips at her words, it sounded so foreign to their ears, more than it should of but it weighted so much
"I just wanted to-" he begun before getting cut off as an engineer gestured for lita to get ready to get into the redbull car.
"I've got to go" lita grabbed her '42' helmet off the shelf, a sense of relief blossoming in her chest
"Before you go" William placed a hand on his daughters forearm but once she tensed slightly he pulled it away and cleared his throat
"I want us to have lunch before you leave" litas eyebrows shot up "just me and you like old times Lou".
A little voice in the back of litas mind told her he'd let her down again just as always but she forced it away "I'd like that" before she turned off and walked away.
With not only her father's eyes on her but also Maxs who had just finished pulling on his helmet...
____________________________________To say relief hadn't spread through litas chest as she got out of the redbull car was an understatement, she was worried that seeing her dad was gonna affect her performance all weekend but it hadn't...
She had managed to get p3 with lando in p2 and Lewis in of course p1
Max had ended up in p4
