First Race

Amelia and Logan walked into the paddock with her trainer Marcus, her manager, Rachael and his trainer and manager following behind as they talked and laugh before they went our seperate ways, Logan going to Williams and Amelia to Red Bull. As soon as Amelia entered the Red Bull was greeted by Christian and Max, "Are you two ready for qualifying?" Christian asked and they nodded. During pre-season testing the car was not that bad it took a couple laps for her to get used to the car.

Yesterday during free practice the car was a lot faster with her topping the leaderboard both times. She did not know how much she missed being in F1 until she returned to it but she does not miss is the amount of media duties as in IndyCar it was less and fun mainly when recording stuff for the social media accounts.

Amelia headed to her driver room and placed down her backpack and got changed into her Red Bull polo and going off to get everything she had to get down before the final practice.

She came back in after the FP3 and went over to her race engineer to talk to debreif and go over the spots she was struggling with and could improve in so she knew what would help her get the best performance during qualifying.

With her heart pounding in her chest, Amelia gripped the steering wheel tightly, her focus razor-sharp as she prepared to tackle her first qualifying session back in F1. She showed what she could do during free practice but this is what matter along with the race.

As she pulled out of the pit lane and onto the track, Amelia felt a surge of adrenaline course through her veins. This was it—the moment she had been waiting for, the chance to prove herself once again on the world stage.

With each passing lap, Amelia pushed herself to the limit, her car slicing through the corners with precision and grace. She could feel the familiar rush of excitement building within her as she navigated the twists and turns of the circuit through Q1 and Q2, her eyes fixed firmly on the prize as Q3 started.

And then, as she crossed the finish line for her final flying lap waiting for what her race engineer will radio to her, "Pole position for now," He said and the words seemed to echo in her mind as she let out a triumphant whoop of joy, she knew that there were still a few more drivers out there as she entered back into the garage and went over to the screen the team was watching.

Max cross the line just behind her, his time only a fraction of a second slower than hers. She smiled and thanked the team for as they celebrated the team started in the front row. This was just the beginning of her F1 come back.

After she got her pole position award she headed off to do her media duties and the team debrief and talked about what they might want to do during the race to secure a good performance on the race. As soon they free to go Amelia went to get her belongings before going to meet up with Logan.

As Logan and Amelia stepped out of the bustling paddock and into the cool evening air, a sense of relief washed over them. The day had been long and exhausting, filled with endless media duties and debriefings, but now, finally, they were free to relax and unwind.

Logan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement bubble up inside him as he glanced over at his cousin. Despite the challenges they had faced throughout the day, Amelia's spirits seemed higher than ever, her eyes sparkling with a newfound sense of confidence.

"Can you believe it?" Logan exclaimed, unable to contain his excitement any longer. "Pole position on your first qualifying back! You were absolutely flying out there!"

Amelia's face broke into a wide grin at his words, her cheeks flushed with the thrill of her accomplishment. "Thanks, Logan," she replied, her voice filled with gratitude. "It feels amazing to be back behind the wheel of an F1 car, doing what I love."
