CAROLINE WELLS
77

"Welcome! Today we have a very special guest, Caroline Wells!" Logan smiles as he starts the video. I was invited by Alex and Logan to be on their Williams podcast type thing.

We get straight into questions, "Who out of the circuit would win the hunger games?" Alex laughs.

"Me!" I smile. I'm decked out in all Red Bull gear today.

"No!" Logan shakes his head, "You would be out first thing when you realize there's no cell service." He sort of got me there.

"I think I'd want to be out first, I'm not living through all that." Alex says. "Max is winning."

"No chance!" I argue, fixing the mic closer to me, "He'd be taken out by Yuki- Daniel would be a fan favorite and would win on gifts alone."

"Gifts? I think I need to watch the movies." Alex shakes his head.

"How have you not seen them?" Logan scoffs, "I agree with Caro, Oh god! I know some people who would be in the capital."

I laugh out loud, "Logan!" I know exactly who he's talking about.

"Anyways..." Alex eyes us both, "Caro is winning that's the end of it. Next question!"

We ramble off into more topics and random talks. I really do love Logan and Alex and in moments like these i'm worried for everyone's future.

I kick Lando subtly, trying to still answer the question I was asked. He kicks me back, I send him a look when I answer the question.

He smirks a bit, fiddling with his microphone, "I think this weekend will be fun." Daniel says from across the table. Max, Danny, Pierre, Charles, Lando, and I are sat at a long table with multiple journalists in front of us.

I kick Lando back which he immediately reciprocates but when he does my shoe kits my chair and makes a noise. Everyone looks at me, "Sorry." I clear my throat.

Lando is giggling now. Taking off his papaya hat, he covers his face while laughing. He is anything but subtle, leaning back in his chair while Max side eyes us.

He kicks my chair again. I reach my leg out and do the same to him. I realize it was a mistake when his face drops and he ends up on the floor.

The back legs slip which lands Lando on his back, I hold back my laugh, "Oh no, Lando are you okay?" I say into my microphone sarcastically while he slowly stands back up.

He looks at me annoyed, "I'm fine." Lando moves his chair back and sits, leaning over to me, "No thanks to you."

"That's a crazy thing to say on live TV." I frown and his eyes narrow.

"Truly." an journalist speaks up, "Lando, Do you blame Caroline for your lack of wins recently?"

I'm so surprised this woman said that and when I glance at Lando, so is he.

"No..." he says slowly, "That's a personal issue."

I feel oddly bad for him. I've seen the issues he's had and it's not really his fault. I hate empathy.

The Hungarian grand prix is a shit show up until the last lap. There was an hour-long red flag because of Charles and Yuki. Then once we finally got back, Carlos overtook three cars, getting in front of me and earning first place.

Lance spun out, Logan got points, and Alex slipped behind.

I overtake Carlos again at the same time as Lando. I trump Norris but he tails me the whole last four laps. What I didn't realize was that Oscar got around Sainz and into third.
