Nat's pov
"RING". My Alarm rings waking me up. I wake up with the biggest smile on my face. I was dreaming about my first ever race win as a child.
Anytime I think of that race I can't help but smile. That was the race that got me to where I am now. I'm currently racing for Mercedes formula one team.
I couldn't be happier. There's only one thing I never look forward to at work. That would be lando Norris. My rival since childhood. Though I did beat him in that one race.
He still hasn't let up on his bully act. If anything it's just gotten worse. Being in F1 is challenging enough without someone in your ear constantly saying your not gonna make it.

Once I get out of bed I quickly get in the shower. I straighten my hair and put my outfit on. Black cargo pants and a Mercedes shirt. I throw my shoes on and go downstairs. I now live in Monaco .
I make myself some breakfast and watch tv while I eat. Once I'm done I grab my bag and phone and head out the door. I get in my Mercedes bens GT. Which I had gotten from my team.
I turn it on and head towards the track. This weekend was the Monaco Grand Prix. Which means I'm going to push as hard as possible this weekend. It's always been my dream to win this race
-—-——-+*+————-
Once I get to the track I see my teammate Lewis. I wave at him before parking. As I get out of my car I grab my bag. " Hey Nat you ready for this weekend"? Lewis asks as I walk with him. "Ready as I'll ever be". We continue to walk and chat about this weekend.Soon enough we are passing the McLaren garage. As we are walking past lando of course he has to say something to me. " Hey Nat do you really think your gonna win, your just going to end up in the wall. Girls can't drive". He scoffs as he's talking. "It seems that you don't remember that I've beaten you before". I've started to stand up for myself over the years.
"Don't bother giving your attention to him". Lewis says loud enough for lando to hear as we walk away. A little walk after we are at our garage. As we walk in I can see Toto start walking our way.
"Hello guys, go ahead and get ready to get in the car for practice". Me and lewis both say hi and go our separate ways to get ready. As I'm in my drivers room I play some music. I've always been a music person so it helps me get ready.
After I'm done and in my gear I head out to the garage. One of my mechanics hand me my helmet to put on. I thank them putting it on. After I'm done I start to climb in the car.
I wait for my team to give me the ok to drive out. When I see the sign I immediately take it and drive out. I can hear the roar of the engine as I'm driving down pit lane. I've always loved that sound.
I love it even more now knowing I'm driving. As I go out on track my radio goes off. "Ok Nat we are just practicing so don't push to hard we don't want any damage for qualifying tomorrow". "Copy that". I respond as I'm driving off to the track.
As soon as I hit the track I take off. Pushing my foot down on the accelerator. I look in my mirrors coming up to turn one. I see the one and only lando Norris behind me. Great I think to myself. He going to try and run me off track. That's something he always does no matter what.
He knows how to make it look like and accident so he never gets in trouble with the FIA. I speed away as I try to not get near him. I can hear the rev of his engine as he pushes to get near me. As we are going into turn 4 I feel him make contact with my car.
I'm able to keep going but I did have damage. "God damn it don't you guys see what his doing". I yell into my radio. "I'm sorry Nat just keep going, push". That's the response I get. I'm filled with anger. As I push to catch back up to lando I can see his Papaya car. Coming into the last corner of the track I'm right on him.
Come one Nat I tell myself. On the straight away I'm able to pass him. Yes I know we shouldn't be battling in free practice but that's how we are. He usually starts it like today. "Good job Nat that was the fastest lap set so far". I hear on my radio. I wasn't even going for fastest lap but that works to.
I was called into box the next lap. As I pulled into the pit I see that lando was also called to box. Once we are both out of our cars I go up to him. "What the hell where you doing damaging my car"! I basically yell in anger. " it's called racing Nat if your not up for it you can leave". He says calmly to annoy me. He knows I hate that.
"No lando that's not racing that's just you being an asshole". I respond. Once I finish talking I walk away flipping him off. Oh how the medias gonna love that I thought. Sometimes I wish the media would let us handle things without making it worse with pictures.
-———+*+———-
After practice was done I was sweating badly. Lando kept trying to battle with me anytime we were out on track. I was sick of it at this point but I knew it wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Now I'm getting dressed into my normal clothes to get ready to head home. Once I walk out of my drivers room Lewis is standing there. "Hey I'm sorry about today, lando just wants to get under your skin". He's always been good at cheering me up. "Thanks Lewis I know I'm used to it, I just can't help but be effected by it".
We continue to walk to our cars together like we did earlier today. We say our goodbyes once we get to our cars. God today has been a tiring day. I start my car and get out of there. I didn't want to be out anymore. I just wanted to shower and fall on my bed. Never getting up again. I knew tomorrow was going to be even worse.
SORRY IF THIS IS BAD ITS MY FIRST TIME EVER WRITING SOMETHING LIEK THISSSS
❤️❤️❤️❤️
