"Ms. Wells!" The use of my last name gets to to stop for an interview, "How has your partnership with Charlotte Tilbury affected your driving?"

I smile at the women, "Well I feel extremely lucky to be backed by such a wonderful woman owned company. Charlotte herself is such an inspiration for me." she nods at my answer, holding the microphone out.

"And everyone's been wondering, do you wear makeup to a race?" I laugh and shake my head.

"Honestly no, I wish I could do some sort of beauty video to show the difference between my everyday routine and race days. I only wear Charlotte's lovely skincare when I'm driving." She thanks me and I try to keep moving.

It's Quali day in Japan and i'm dressed in a short flowy dress, knowing i'll probably get shit on for anything I wear so I might as well be comfortable and cute.

"What do you think of the figure eight circuit?"

"How's your car feeling for today?"

"Do you like the gravel?"

I walk by the interviewers who have a million questions but I set my eyes on the Red Bull hospitality area. I walk inside to see Max arguing with B, "What's going on?"

"She's trying to sabotage my career!" Max scoffs as if it's a known thing.

"You're being a brat, Max."

I raise a brow and walk closer, "Explain."

"He's being a baby because he doesn't want to do more media." B puts her hands on her hips, wearing a chic suit, "You two are going to do some videos with the Mclaren team."

I laugh, "Max that's not even- wait McLaren!?" my face drops, "Is this a stunt to cover up the whole Norris thing?"

"Yes!" B says, "We need to raise both of your socials. Girl, you're doing great but people saw how aggressive you were with Lando, and people are sad that Max doesn't do more videos."

"B, Please. It'll be worse media." Max sits on the black couch, "I can't deal with Caro and Lando anymore!"

"You're just saying that because you don't want to film. Lando and I aren't that bad." I cross my arms and sit across my Max.

B actually laughs out loud at that, "Yes the fuck you are."

"What? I poured a drink on him one time!"

"One time too many!" Bianca shakes her head.

"With a cunty speech to go with it." Max points out.

"Thanks Max!" I grin.

"No!" B shuts us down, "You two will film a video with them, you WILL be civil, and you won't give anyone anything to gossip about!"

I ended Qualifying P1. I smile as I get out of my car, Waving to the fans. "P2, nice." I dap up Oscar, "I need food."

Oscar and I make our way through the crowd, finding the line that's the most filled with ferrari fans and waiting until we get to the front.

We order two burrito bowls and start to run back. Lando sees us and raises a brow, signing a hat before coming over to us, "Please. I'm so hungry- my trainor is watching me like a hawk."

"Mine has beans." Oscar pulls his away from Lando.

"Nah I don't share with strangers." I shake my head and shovel more food into my mouth.
