iii. WATCH OUT

chapter three | "oh logan"

i was sat in one of the mechanics chairs while i waited for qualifying to start. the team was doing some last minute changes to my car before going out. i probably like weird sitting in the garage with my helmet already on but other drivers where already sat in their cars so i was just waiting to do the same.

"alright kid your up" one of the mechanics said as he tapped my shoulder, i cringed at the term 'kid'.

once i was strapped up in my car the green light for q1 had gone off. another mechanic gave me the signal to leave the garage and join the cue. my tire was already in the lane when the haas of nico game up next. once all the other cars started to file out i followed closely behind.

"leclerc is starting his fast lap behind you, watch out for him"

"copy" i swerved to the side to let the ferrari through before driving around the track completely before i start my flying lap.

i pressed on the acceleratore as i neared the start line. i turned the car deep into turn one before accelerating straight out before braking into another corner. it was the same over and over throughout the entire circuit, lots of braking zones but there was also a massive speed trap that i loved.

"okay that lap brought you to p3. come into the pits"

"i will do another lap right?"

"we will send you out again, yes"

i was wheeled into my side of the garage, a data screen placed in front of me. i surprisingly had a lot to improve on considering i placed p3 but i knew others still needed to put there times in so i was going to drop.

"how much longer left of q1?"

"there is just less than four minutes, we will send you out soon lucia"

my hands clenched around the water bottle in my hands, my fingers wrapping around the metal tightly.

"lucia, we are sending you out to do one more lap"

"copy"

i placed the bottle on the side of my car where i could reach furthest, eventually someone would grab it.

i headed out just before others did. i would probably have traffic on my fast lap but that would be a problem i have to deal with in a minute. i could feel my heart pumping out of my chest as i went around the corners, nerves rising as i went around the last corner.

"lucia, you have two cars heading into turn 3. they are on out laps but you might not need to worry about them"

"copy thanks"

i took a deep breath before pressing my foot down harshly, not lifting it one bit until the breaking zone. i went around the first two corners cleanly. hamilton who was now the car ahead moved to the side as he saw my car approaching, giving me a clean road ahead.

"you are currently the fasted time, others still yet to cross the line"

"yep"
