ii. ARTISTIC FLARE

chapter two | "no idiot"

i left bahrain to go straight to jeddah. left my third place trophy with the team and left, max almost doing the exact same as me but he actually interacted with the team.

i had raced at jeddah a few times, won my first f2 race there. so i had good memories here.

"get off your ass otherwise you will be late to the conference" i sighed as i got up from the small couch in my drivers room. it was media day today which meant i was doing nothing other than smiling and waving, and talking about boring subjects.

i was the last one to step in the room. all the other drivers heads turned to me as i fell back onto the couch at the end. lance sat next to me, offering me a smile. which i did not return.

charles, daniel and valtteri were the other drivers here, all of them looked just as bored as me and i had only just arrived.

"lucia, you got your first ever formula one podium last week, how did that feel?" i slowly picked up the microphone before answering

"yeah it was cool"

"it was also a double podium for red bull, first and third place that must be good for the team"

"yeah i guess. i do not really care about that though. just race" i shrugged, placing the microphone back on my lap.

the interviewer moved on from me, he now asked daniel what his favourite food was here in jeddah. it was something about everyone else getting asked different questions while i got nice boring and basic ones.

i would gladly answer what my favourite food was here.

"valtteri, i understand that stake this year has changed a lot. what would you do to be in a seat like lucia's?"

"uhm...i am not sure why she was exactly brought into this question, you could have just said red bull but there isn't a lot i could do to get a seat in a red bull or mercedes even aston martin but i can try" valtteri ended his little motivating speech with a shrug.

i sent valtteri a nod, silently thanking him for his small gesture. not sure if he even saw me but at least i thanked him even if he did not see.

after what seamed like forever the man thanked us all for being here today. when i heard it i immediately grabbed my phone from the couch and left, last one to arrive, first to leave.

i left and headed straight to the red bull garage because i knew beth was going to be there waiting for me and then drag me where we were going to film a youtube video.

"what are we even filming?" i ask as i sat down on a chair opposite max

"can you not tell?" beth asked as she raised an eyebrow "you two are going to be painting each other, hence all the sheets on the table and floor. lucia put the damn poncho on"

i looked over to max who already had his on, even the hood was on "you look like a weirdo" i stated as i chucked my poncho behind me

"lucia! your going to get paint on your shirt"

"and? i have like five more. this is all going to be cut out right?" i ask now realising they have already starting filming

but beth shook her head. great.

"oh well...max, i am going to make you look beautiful!" i leaned over the table before picking up the black paint cup and the smallest brush there was "what is with the cheap paint and brushes guys, we are red bull, we got money? sorry max i do not think i can make you beautiful anymore"
