Chanel Leclerc was in trouble.
Winning the first four rounds of the season, RedBull were delighted to have their driver on the top step at each and every race, but Max was more than unhappy. He'd claimed she had a better car, tried to force her off track, thrown a fit at Christian to swap their engineers around, and yet Chanel came out on top every single time.
To make matters worse, Helmut was berating her consistently for not giving Max a chance, even when she had done as he said, he would totally ignore it. Miami was going to be no different, she knew Max would throw some sort of fit and Helmut would agree with him, and she was nervous to say the least.
She was at a loss on race day, Mick was back in England doing sim work for Mercedes and she no longer had Max to speak to before the race. It was a few hours until the race, so the brunette decided to leave the hospitality in search of her newfound friend, Oscar Piastri.
"Hey Aussie." Chanel beams as she finds him. The McLaren Rookie smiles back at her, taking a walk of the paddock together whilst discussing the rather awful Miami heat.
Lando had joined them after spotting them sitting and eating lunch together, offering a warm smile to the Monegasque girl who was starting the race from 9th today. Unable to set a lap time in the last bout of qualifying, Chanel was eager to climb up the grid in hopes of 1st place.
"No Mick?" Lando questions after almost being blinded by her engagement ring reflecting in the sunlight.
"He's back at the Merc factory doing Sim work." She hums in response.
After chit-chatting for around an hour, the trio decide to go back to their hospitality to stretch ready for the race. Oscar and Lando both waved goodbye to Chanel as she walked a little ahead and into the RedBull building, greeting a few team members on her way upstairs to her driver's room.
