20-22 Oct 2023 Circuit of The Americas, Austin
As Aelina settled into her spot on the grid, she felt her nerves in her belly. Her helmet snug. The track warm and lit with the sun. The smell of burning rubber and gasoline filled the air, a scent that always seemed to calm her.
"Last car on the grid," Andy's voice crackled through her earpiece.
She took another deep breath and focused on the lights. One by one, they illuminated above her. When they all went out, the roar of the engines erupted, and she released the. Her car shot forward, the tires gripping the asphalt as she fought for position.
In the initial seconds, Aelina's eyes darted around, assessing the movement of the cars. Liam was right beside her, his car a mirror of her own. She caught a glimpse of Carlos's Ferrari diving aggressively towards Oscar. The opening laps were always a scramble, one wrong move could spell disaster.
Aelina held her line, managing to avoid any contact. She saw an opening on the inside and took it, squeezing past an Alpine that had managed to squeeze its way past her. Now she was back in P7 chasing Oscar down.
Lap 5 she could see Oscar struggling and managed to make her way past him now chasing down Lando who was behind Carlos.
By Lap 10 she watched Lando chase down Carlos. Her radio trickled on. "Carlos is struggling with the soft tires; you'll be able to overtake him."
Knowing how much her brother fights her on track, she knew she had to be careful, she also had the red bull of Perez chasing her down.
By Lap 11, she went down the strait and by the time she got to the breaking zone she had passed her brother.
"Nicely done," Andy said. Now she set up her sights after Lando.
Lap after lap she tried to chase him down, but the McLaren was pretty fast in the end she finished behind Lando but still in the points.
"Great job, Aelina!" Andy's voice came through the earpiece, "P5."
The cool-down lap provided a momentary respite. Aelina felt the sweat trickling down her face inside the helmet, the adrenaline still coursing through her veins. She parked the car in parc fermé, the relief of finishing the race washing over her. She clambered out of the cockpit, feeling the muscles in her body protest. Removing her helmet, she made her way over to the scales.
