Glitter: A Pierre Gasly Story

Chapter 8

FORMULA 1'S NEWEST SUPER FAN

F1GossipWag

The Monaco Grand Prix is iconic for a reason, and this weekend's race lived up to all expectations. The first stint of the race unfolded as one would expect with Lewis Hamilton's lead being challenged by Max Verstappen, but a tire puncture for Verstappen caused him to take both drivers out of the race leaving Charles Leclerc to score his maiden win on the storied track. That should have been enough action to make any motorsport fan happy, but Monaco delivered an even bigger surprise.

For the second time in less than a month, the paddock was graced with the presence of American Starlet, Ellie Scott. The beauty was first seen in the Ferrari garage in Monza. Her and her mother, Oscar winner Annabelle King, were guests of the Prancing Horses at their home race and it seems at least one of this pair has become addicted to the adrenaline.

But is there more than meets the eye?

Formula 1 has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, particularly in the States, but our bets are on there being a more amorous reason for Scott's newfound fascination with the sport.

This time around Scott was a guest of Alpine and seen getting cozy with Pierre Gasly, the wayward French driver, prior to the race. However, by the end of the event, a certain Spanish Smooth Operator was seen chatting up the actress in the pits. It's also worth noting that Gasly's teammate, Esteban Ocon, remains single after his break-up with model Hannah Pierce and we know how the Alpine boys love a triangle.

Scott has been notoriously single since her breakup last year with long time love and American Singer/Songwriter/Producer Jackson Williams. The pair recently made headlines again after Williams's personal phone was hacked, and an intimate video of Scott was distributed across the internet. Both Scott and Williams have filed legal actions for invasion of privacy.

Tell me in the comments who you think has caught Ellie's attention.

F14Lyfe: Carlos. It has to be Carlos. He's so sweet and is basically a prince. The perfect complement to the American Princess.

PG10Fan: Please, please, please let it be Pierre. I will die if they get together.

ElliesArmy22: Urg. How about none of them? Why can't she just get back together with Jackson, they were perfect.

Jimmy67Plus2: This is stupid. Who cares who that slut is dating? She seems cold as ice anyway.

EatSleepF1: There's no way it's Pierre. He'd be terrible for her image. She needs someone nicer. My guess is Carlos.

AlpineGrl7: It's definitely Esteban. It's suspicious that there are NO photos of them together at all. She spent the entire day in the garage, how could their paths not have crossed at all. Seems like a misdirect to me.

EllieGirl31: I hope it's Pierre. Talk about a power couple! Can you imagine them on red carpets? I would melt.

ItsElliesWorld: Pierre. 100% Pierre. Did you see those photos of them in the garage? Damn.

PIERRE'S POV

The headlines were out of control. Ellie attending Monza had been newsworthy, but it was nothing compared to Ellie attending Monaco.

Just as Jess and Sadie had predicted, her presence at the race had been a shock to most of the world and there wasn't a sports publication or gossip site that hadn't posted about it.

And I was fucking livid.

I had agreed to the plan, but only because I was secretly hoping it would fail. I figured this would be a win-win. I'd get credit with the team for trying something drastic, but not actually have to fucking go through with it.

So, for Monaco to have gone so fucking well was a disaster. I'd already received messages from Andre and my team principle congratulating me on successfully kicking off "the stunt." No mention of my top ten race finish, of course, just praising me for having my photo taken with a girl. It was madness.

The only thing that should matter was my performance on the track. This whole mess was so fucking stupid.

And to make matters worse, half the articles tried to make it seem like there was something going on with Ellie and Esteban.

Esteban. He'd been a pain in my ass for as long as I could remember. 

We'd come up in carting and the lower series together. The world wanted us to be best friends, along with Charles and Anthoine, but we'd always hated each other.

He was my biggest competition on track. Charles had always been just a bit better than us, leaving Esteban and I to fight for spots on the grid and deals with sponsors. We were constantly at each other's throats with Anthoine stuck in the middle as peacemaker.

And as we'd gotten older, that competition moved into our personal lives. There had been so many girls that we both pursued, with them choosing one of us over the other. It had never really bothered me until Hannah.

Hannah Pierce was the love of my life. Or I thought she was.

We'd started dating right after I lost my seat at Red Bull and her warmth and comfort had been the only thing keeping me out of the darkness. She made me feel worthy when I had felt so low, and I was ready to spend my life with her. 

We had been so happy, until I signed with Alpine.

She said I had been neglecting her. That I was too focused on training and meeting the expectations of my team. At least, that was the reason she gave me when I found her half naked in Esteban's driver's room.

It seemed that while I had been trying to prove myself to my new team, my new teammate had been taking care of my girl. I should have fucking seen it coming.

Esteban had been pissed about me joining the team. I had almost not signed the deal; not sure I could manage the added pressure of having him as my teammate. But in the end, Andre convinced me it was the best move for my career.

I had tried to apologize to Hannah. I told her that I forgave her for what she'd done and begged her to let me fix things. But she hadn't wanted to fix anything.

Within a few weeks she had moved out of our apartment in Paris and in with Esteban. That was a little over a year ago and it had been fucking torture to watch the two of them together at every race - cuddling in the rain, whispering to each other at team dinners and hands all over the other at parties.

I'd slowly realized what a fucking snake Hannah actually was. 

She'd never loved me, not really. She'd only been interested in me for what I could give her - parties, Instagram followers, a new management company. And when she saw that I was struggling at Alpine, she'd jumped to another target. And Esteban was all too happy to fuck me over again.

Not that it mattered. There had been plenty of girls ready to take Hannah's place and I'd had a great time fucking all of them.

So, for even a single person to suggest that Ellie would be interested in that fucker over me was infuriating.

Rationally I knew this was all fake and for show, but the rest of the world didn't know that, and I couldn't help the jealousy I felt bubbling in my stomach. There was no fucking way he was winning this one.
