FOUR YEARS LATER
The Australian Grand Prix returned as it did every year, and this time it was the second race in the series – the entire season kicked off in Japan, where the Formula One drivers had an amazing time. As always at every race. And the Japanese knew how to organize a great event.
Alira, now Ricciardo, stood impatiently at the hotel doors, waiting for her husband, who should soon appear in the elevator with their two-year-old son. The girl had dressed quickly because she wanted to catch Carmen and have a chat – Carmen was expecting her and George's first child and wanted some information from a mother who would soon have her second child to care for.
The brunette was happy for Carmen and George, as she had been following and rooting for them since she started dating Daniel. She had been waiting for the moment when George would propose, which happened in the summer of 2026 during the Silverstone race, which the Brit had won.
"Here comes your man," Carmen smiled, pointing to the elevator from which Daniel was emerging with their son Thomas Maximilian Ricciardo – named after Daniel's grandfather, with his middle name chosen in honor of his godfather Max Verstappen.
Alira couldn't help but smile when she saw her two men, who had stolen her heart the moment she saw them.
She might not have known Daniel since her youth, but from the first moment she saw him at Perth Zoo, she knew this was the man she wanted to marry – although she didn't know then that in the first few days he would annoy her to the point that they almost didn't end up together.
She had fallen in love with Thomas from the moment she found out she was pregnant, exactly a week after she and Daniel got married. On the exact day she changed her name from Barisha to Ricciardo. At that moment, she didn't know she could love anyone more than Daniel, but when Thomas was born and she held him for the first time, she knew that Daniel was now second. Thomas was her number one love. But he was an exact copy of Daniel, so you could say she loved them both equally.
"Mummy!" Thomas exclaimed, dressed in a Mercedes shirt, Mercedes cap, and black shorts.
Daniel wanted their son to love Red Bull. Max, his godfather, wanted him to love Red Bull because he raced for them. Alira wanted their son to love Red Bull because they spent the most time there due to Max and Christian. But their two-year-old son had other plans. At one year old, he fell in love with Pierre Gasly, who currently drove for Mercedes, so he refused to wear anything that wasn't Mercedes. Poor George had a big ego and still thought it was because of him.
"Tommy, Mercedes again?" she asked when the boy ran up to her, and she picked him up. She was already seven months pregnant, so it wasn't the easiest, but she could still rest him on her hip so he wouldn't get in the way as much.
