The earlier revelation about Charles' identity piqued Katrina's interest. It's an interesting thought having few of the so-called top twenty drivers in the world in her home, passed out from last night's activities.
Sofia, being the angel that she is, suggested for trina to watch a race in order for her to understand the world these men were living in. When she asked for her personal recommendation, the young Monegasque didn't even hesitate to suggest the Belgium Grand Prix from 2019. She reasoned that although there were a lot of good races over the years, this specific grand prix was her favorite.
She was right to suggest, few laps in the race, Katrina found herself teary eyed as the commentator starts to narrate the events that transpired just few hours before the feature race. It was a gloomy day for the community, having lost another young life in the track. Charles and the other drivers did small tributes for Anthoine Hubert who tragically passed away the day before. It was very difficult for Katrina to even imagine how Charles and the others feel during this day. They knew the risk of their profession but they still do it for the love of their sports. It made me appreciate them more despite the risk.
It was around Lap 20 of the race when she heard someone walking near them.
"Belgian Grand Prix 2019 that was a good race" the two women turned and saw Max approaching them.
"Good morning, there's breakfast at the table. What do you want, coffee or tea?"
"Do you by chance have a red bull?" he asked shyly
"yeah I have, but really red bull this early in the morning?" she asked him curiously
"don't judge" he replied laughing
Katrina paused the race and went to her secret stash of energy drinks and hand Max his Red Bull.
"Help yourself with some breakfast and if you have hangover, I also have meds"
When everything was settled, she returned to her spot and continued watching the race.
"If you don't mind me asking, what are we doing here?" he asked while eating his share of the meal.
"There were a lot of miscommunications yesterday and everybody except Charles and I were sober so we just decided to let everybody crash"
"why are we watching Charlie boy's first-"
"MAX" Sofia exclaimed stopping the Dutch driver
"What?" he asked shocked at her sudden outburst
"Don't spoil the race result" he looked at the two women, confused
"Why?" He asked with one of his eyebrow raised
"This girl hasn't watched a single race in her entire life and has absolutely no idea who you all are until earlier today"
