Senna's Daughter - Carlos Sainz/ Lewis Hamilton

Chapter 14 - You are so much like your dad

23rd of May Thursday:

Gabriela Senna's POV:

We arrived at the bustling paddock, greeted by a swarm of eager fans. Cameras flashed, and pens were thrust in our direction for autographs. It was a whirlwind of excitement as we made our way through the throng.

Once inside, the F1 TV commentators pounced, eager to capture our thoughts on camera. I was caught off guard by the sudden attention and hesitated

"Here we have Gabriela Senna and Carlos Sainz. Hello Gabriela and Carlos, how are you?" I was really shocked because I was not expecting to be interviewed. Since I was not expecting this, I did not know what to say so,but Carlos stepped in smoothly. It was interesting that she told my name before Carlos'.

"Hello, guys. I'm good and ready for the media day" Carlos answered.

Then, they turned to me, and I felt the weight of their expectations. Gathering my composure, I smiled and responded, "Good morning. I'm thrilled to be here today."

The interviewer probed about my father's legendary status at Monaco, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. "It definitely adds an extra layer of excitement to the race," I said, trying to convey the significance while keeping my nerves in check.

"Thank you Gabriela and thank you Carlos" She said they stopped recording.

We continued to walk until we arrive at the McLaren hospitality.

"Wow, they are really interested in you." Carlos said.

"Yeah, I guess so" I murmured and my cheeks were getting red. I didn't want to be the center of atention.

"I watched you guys on the TV, it was broadcasted live and I can say that girl, you were the star. Carlos may be the driver but they wanted to hear from you" Lando said cheekily laughing. I laughed as well.

"Hello Ms. Senna, I am Charlotte and I am the senior communications manager and we have an offer for you. Would you like to talk?" A woman who was wearing a McLaren t-shirt.

"Of course I would like to hear it. And please call me Gabriela." I said and she nodded.

"So, he was wondering maybe... I mean... Would you want to film a youtube video for our channel?"

"What is the concept?" I don't know why but I was invested.

"A garage tour. You will be walking to the garage from the hospitality and we will record it asking you some questions then, when we arrive at the garage Carlos and Lando will join you and show you around the garage. What would you say?" I know that McLaren is the team that my dad achieved some incredible successes with. So, I felt like doing it.

"Count me in," I said with newfound determination, eager to explore this unexpected avenue. Both Carlos and Lando were shocked.

"Mi amor, if you don't wanna do it, that's okay. You don't have to do it," Carlos said, concern etched on his face.

"Yeah, don't feel pressured to do so," Lando chimed in, his expression mirroring Carlos'.

"No, no. I did not feel pressured. I really want to do this. It sounds fun," I reassured them.

"Okay then. Vamos!" Carlos said, a proud smile spreading across his face.
