(Lando's POV cause I got forced)

   I sat down and told her to check the group chat real quick just to keep up with them. She instantly got on her phone and got into instagram and started to show me everything. She was amazing. I really didn't care what people think. The fact that in less than a day, I fell in love with her is amazing. I started to see her text them, I put a hand on her thigh again and watched her scroll down slowly to show me what they said. She then looked at me and smiled as she got comfortable on my shoulder. I grabbed her instantly as I got up and hugged her. She looked shocked and then laughed. I loved that laugh. It made me smile.  She then gave me her back and I held her by the waist. 5 minutes to continue in qualifying session 3!  God damn how time flies. An engineer then came in to talk to me about the next continuous session.

Drivers are getting back to there cars. Everyone is soon done with their radio check. I ran to the car and got in fast. Got the helmet and checked the radio. LIGHTS ARE FLICKING.. AND THE LIGHTS ARE OUT AND AWAY WE GO FOR THE LAST QUALIFYING SESSION OF THE MONACO GRAND PRIX OF 2024! CHARLES ALREADY IS SLOWLY SPEEDING LIKE LAST SESSION AND CARLOS AND LANDO ARE RIGHT BEHIND HIM. CARLOS LETS LANDO PASS. NOW GOING FOR A TURN AND WOAAHH. YUKI HAS HIT CHECO AND ALMOST GOT HIM OFF THE TRACK! OSCAR PIASTRI RIGHT NEAR THEM AND PASSES THEM.

Carlos and I decided to help Charles. We are trying to block off the others when they try to pass us so we give Charles time to get more further. Charles has now been leader for almost all of the quali which meant he will get many points. I got to the DRS zone , I saw Carlos trying to block off some of the drivers from my wing mirror. WONDERFUL DAY IN MONTE CARLO IN MY OPINION. ALL THE DRIVERS PRETTY TENSE ACTUALLY! Hell yeah, I'm tense. I'm in one of the smallest tracks of all the formula 1 tracks and I can't speed as much! It's so difficult to surpass people. But it's a great track and the view is always amazing here. I like it more now since I met Faith here. She's just. Wow. "Vroom vroommm" I heard her say. She's so funny. "Yes, Vroom vroom gorgeous. Now let me drive." I told her instantly. "Fineeeee, I'll go talk to the girls!" "Okay!" I said.

CHARLES IS REALLY HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE KNOWING HE HAS A CHANCE TO WIN IN HIS HOME TOWN! WONDERFUL FOR THE MONEGASQUE DRIVER! Carlos speeding up to the Pitstop which won't ruin him that much. All of the drivers are still 3 seconds behind! Outstanding how the top 3 drivers today have absolutely dominated this race! Alex Albon overtaking 2 drivers whilst going into the second section. Charles in the tunnel, speeding as usual. Charles has only some minutes left until pole position! Carlos and Lando being a duo in this quali today.

Engineer : Lando, only 5 minutes left for you, 4 minutes for Charles.
Lando : Wonderful session today. P2 let's go!
Engineer : Don't celebrate too early. But still let's gooo!!

Last 5 minutes and we will be ready with the second qualifying session of the year! Reminder that last session, Lando was P4, Carlos P1, Charles P2 and Max P3... Charles speeding the last 3 minutes! He is in the DRS Zone again as he goes by. Many Ferrari fans will love today as both Ferrari's will maybe be on the podium! Right now, these are the Positions;

Charles P1
Lando P2
Carlos P3
Alex P4
Max P5
Sergio P6
Oscar P7
Daniel P8
Yuki P9
Pierre P10

    AS I WAS SAYING, LECLERC HAS ONLY 1 MINUTE LEFT UNTIL QUALIFYING OVER AND MCLAREN AND THE OTHER FERRARI TEAMMATE ARE BOTH RIGHT BEHIND HIM! CHARLES SEES THE CHECKERED FLAG, AND MONTE CARLO HAS SEEN THEIR REPRESENTATIVE AS SOON TOMORROW CAN WIN IN HIS HOME TOWN. HE WONT EVER REGRET THIS! THE OTHERS RIGHT BEHIND HIM CATCHING UP SLOWLY! RADIO CHECK WITH CHARLES!

Charles : YESSSSS YES YES!
Ferrari Engineer : YES! Tomorrow's race will be perfect!
Charles : VIVA MONACO! VIVA MONTE CARLO! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!

   CHARLES DID IT! YES YES! I saw him raise his hand right in front of me as he slowed down. He stopped and got out of the car and removed his helmet. Carlos and I instantly got out of the car to go celebrate with him. This is a day no one will forget...
