oscar

I WALK INTO THE PADDOCK AND THE MCLAREN GARAGE FEELS QUIET. i get stares by my own team. i go to the mclaren hospitality and see lando. "what's with the quietness today?" i ask. "you leaked her secrets mate, i mean good job but people aren't happy" he says. "right" i sigh. "oscar media time" di, my pr says. i nod and walk off and go to the press. my first meeting there was microphones and cameras all over me. "is it true that alex albons sister is quitting law school?" the reporter asks. "yes it is" i say. i look near me and see a man in a williams shirt doing a interview next to me. "why did you say ashleas secrets?" another reporter asks. alex looks over at me. "i felt as though she told me i could tell others." i say. i feel a death stare from my side. "okay that's all thanks" di says. "god thank you" i say. she nods and we come back to the mclaren garage and i talk to zak for a bit and i watch as landos pr approaches me.

"didn't think lando would grow on you, suprised you'd say that about her oscar" she says and walks past me. i sigh. "5 minutes until the race!" zak says. i slip into my race suit and sit in my car and put on my helmet. "off you go mate, have fun" zac says. "thanks" i say and drive into the pits and go out for the formation lap. the car feels good. as i line up in p5 the red lights start. as they go off i push my foot to the accelerator i dont lose positions but i dont gain any either. by lap 15 i've overtaken carlos and sit in p4. "albon behind 0.8" my engineer says. albon. as i push harder i see in my mirrors alex at my rear wing. we go to turn 3 and i feel a tap on my rear tire. "all good" i say and i agrily go faster.

alex approaches me once again and taps the middle of my car with his front right tire. my bottom of my car backs out a bit but i straighten up. "dont retaliate" he says. "mhm" i say. i drive harder and as we reach turn 7 alex really gets on my nerves and gets ahead of me but next to me. i continue turning and i hit a car. i hit alex. he doesn't go off track and he hits me as we go over turn 9. we both spin out and i hit a barrier and alex hits me. "oh for fucks sake!" i yell.

"oscar are you okay?" my engineer asks. "yeah" i say and i get out of the car and so does alex. i walk up to him. i pull my visor up and push him lightly. "what the fuck was that for?" i ask angrily. "you shared all my sisters fucking secrets and now she won't talk to me because everyone's told her she's giving up on life because she quit law school and now she's apparently a slut for telling you! it's all your fucking fault! i knew you two mclaren drivers were no good to be around and this proves why!" he yells. "she shouldn't have told me!" i argue. "she's being told to kill herself from your fans!" he says pushing me. "maybe she should!" i scoff. he pushes me harder and i fall to the ground. "don't fucking talk about my sister like that you fucking cunt!" he says going to punch my torso before being pulled away by the marshals and rescue team.

i get up and walk off and ignore all the rescue team and go to the mclaren garage. "seriously?" i hear landos pr say. "oh come on!" i scoff. "why did you say that! your radio somehow still worked and now everyone heard it and watched the fight!" she says. i walk into my drivers room and sit down. "piastri. officials room. now." zak says. i sigh and get up and walk to the officials room ignoring everyone. as i arrive i speak to the desk lady. "i'm oscar im here for a meeting" i say. "room 205 mr piastri" she smiles. "thanks" i smile and go to that room and knock.

the door opens and i see the face of a puffy eyed alex albon, his pr and my pr. i sit down and infront of me is ella, the official. "well.. didn't think i'd be seeing you again oscar." she says dissapointed. "now i mean this in utter respect, what the hell was that on the track!" she says. "it appears my driver, oscar had a race incident involving alex albon and there was a fight afterwards over alex albons sister ashlea." di says. "oscar?" she asks. "yes, that's true there was a crash and there was words exchanged between me and alex and there was some physical side aswell." i admit.
