Think I need someone older (The come back?)

"That's P16 for you Mikky, sorry about that" Hugh said to the team radio

"Yeah let's keep pushing guys" I replied sad, I parked my car and I got out of it to watch who won

Lewis

A small smile appeared on my lips seeing that Lewis won the race, I'm so proud of him

"Michaela" Max walked to me giving a friendly hug "I can't believe this"

"Me too" I sighed "Do you think that we will be able to come back?"

"No" Max answered "We won't"

"I don't know if I will cry or laugh! I mean Lewis won but I'm struggling to drive the car!" I was ready to cry so hard

"Don't cry! Everything's fine!" Max hugged me again softly "Let's go back to the garage now"

We walked to our garages, I can't be here any longer! Now I think I can understand the 2022 Lewis, having an incredible season in 2021 and can't drive the car in 2022

"Did you rethink what we said?" Christian asked looking at me

"It's still a no!" I answered "I have to go for my interviews"

As I turned I watched my dad coming to me

"Hello Teddy Bear" He kissed my head "Sorry about that"

"I feel so mad" I answered and then Mathias gave me a RedBull "I mean I understand Lewis, how he was feeling back in 2022"

"Also you need a PR Manager" Mathias said

"Do you think that Britta will be available?" I asked looking at my dad

"Britta loves being to the races! So I'm sure that she would love have you!" My dad said proudly "But for now Mathias is good enough!"

"I am a trainer!" Mathias giggled

"My favourite one" I winked at him "Let's go to the interviews now"

We walked together at the same spot where all the interviews are recorded

"Sky Italy" Mathias said pointing there and we walked there

"English if that's okay" I giggled softly

"Good! Hello Michaela!" The interviewer said

"Hi!" I smiled at him

"How do you feel after a bad race for you and for RedBull because we watched Max struggling as well" the interviewer started asking

"Yeah it was a bad race! For both of us but we want to stop struggling with the car! It's a difficult car to drive and I'm struggling with the jumps up and down and I really want just get out of it because my back has started hurting and I'm just 19!" I giggled softly "Max is sad as well because he was the winner of the championship last year and now he struggles with the car!"

"Your dad is here in Bahrain, how do you feel and how he feels with you here?" The interviewer moved to the next question

"I'm so happy having him by my side and as a father and as a mentor because he's here when I need him! And I know that he supports me with all of his energy and I love it and I'm glad about it!" I ended

"I will stole her for a second" Lewis was there and he turned me at him to give me a soft kiss "Love you"

"Love you too! You raced amazing" I gave him a quick but strong hug

"You too" He kissed my hair and walked away, I turned at the interviewer

"And that was?" He asked giggling

"We're just friends" I laughed so he did "Good joke!"

At night we had the after party, the first one of the season

Lewis came to pick me and drove me and Lando to the party

"Hello boys!" I said hugging all of them "How are you?"

"We're good but I don't understand your happiness" Esteban giggled "You didn't seem good to the interviews and to be honest we were ready to hear you cursing!"

"I'm fine and happy!" I laughed

"I didn't give her drugs!" Lewis said looking at me confused

"You did" Mick said looking at me confused

"Laila!" I hugged Laila

"Hey babe!" She giggled as we broke the hug "You sure you okay?"

"Absolutely! I need a drink!" I looked at Lewis that he walked to buy me a drink
