Motorsport One shots x Y/n

🌼Media- KA07

Context: You are in an engineering apprenticeship with Prema, more specifically, FRECA.

"Okay guys, busy day today. Netflix are going to be coming around with the team today for an episode in the new season of Drive to Survive. A few of you will be taken away for interviews for it. We also have free practice 1, so let's have the cars ready and data printed for afterwards from last race." The team manager, Grazia said.

Everyone parted all their separate ways, me following the engineers to the cars. I noticed the cameras of Netflix arrive but didn't really care and started work.

"Y/n, how about you help put on the front wing today? You normally do engine checks so, something different today?" One of the engineers asked me. I smiled and nodded,  walking over with one of the others to get it. It was a fairly swift fit, simply having to drill some bolts in, but also having to angle it correctly.

"Perfect take, thanks guys!" The guy who I assumed was the director said, holding his check board. I hadn't even noticed they were filming.

"So, uh, there isn't much to do for you and we are only doing stuff that you've already seen loads so you want to go hang out with the drivers for a bit?" The engineer asked me.

"Yea, I'll come back with the drivers for engine warmup yes?" I asked as he nodded back and I made my way to the drivers room. I knocked as I heard Kimi's voice.

"Come in!" He called. "Helloo!"

"Hey, got nothing to do apparently so here I am. Stuck with me now." I grinned up at the Italian boy.

"Not too bad then! Can you come with me to warmup though?" Kimi asked. I nodded and followed him outside, holding several resistance bands and a tennis ball. I spent about 15 minutes helping Kimi warmup.

I threw the tennis ball back to him to catch for the normal end to warmup of just regular catch and throw.

"I'm bored," Kimi whined.

"Well we're done now so, free to go." I smiled ready to go back to the garage. He tried to walk forwards and hug me but I gently pushed him away when I noticed the Netflix cameras.

"Kimi," I nodded towards the cameras but Kimi still looked at me confused. "Kimi, turn around dumb ass."

"Oh," I lightly laughed under my breath.

"Y/n, can we have a quick interview with you? Just about working as an apprentice in motorsport." The director asked. I nodded, leaving Kimi to head to the garage early. I was  lead through the paddock a little until we got to the main building where there was a little side room, lights and cameras were set up, a singular chair  in front of a black background.

"First question, what is your name and what is your job?"

"Im Y/n, and I'm in an engineering apprenticeship with Prema in the FRECA."

"Next question, How is it being one of not many female engineers in motorsport?" The interviewer asked.

"Obviously I'm only an apprentice because I'm 16, but I don't think gender makes a whole lot of different when it comes to engineering. It's not like men's or women's brains are better than the other." I calmly explained.

"Good answer. So with some past footage we filmed, from earlier in the day, you seem quite close to the drivers as well?" He asked slightly warily.

"I wouldn't say I'm close to the drivers in general, but Kimi yes. He's only just under a year older than me so it's nice having  someone of my age around whilst there's all the races."

"Okay, so how would you describe yours and Kimi's 'friendship'?" He did speech marks round friendship. I raised an eyebrow at his question.

"Uh... well we're very good friends." I paused trying to think about what they wanted me to tell them. "I also think it's important for engineers to have good relations with the drivers so feedback can be conveyed better so the overall performance can be better..."
