MOVING UP
-"Red Bull Racing is happy to have you."-

Chloe Evans

Karting is fun, but Racing in Formula 1 is even better. I'm very excited to start my first season. I used to be in F2 but quickly moved up since my performance was 'outstanding'. I had to fly out to England to meet the Red Bulls team manager. Just to sign the contract.

The building was not hard to spot, and I walked in to be greeted by the front desk.

"I'm here to see Mr. Horner," I spoke.

"Yes, and your name?"

"Chloe Evans." Was it just me or was it weird saying your name out loud? She makes a call to who I assume is Christian.

"Ok, he's ready. You're going to walk down this hall to the left, and it's the last room to the right." I nod as she explains and make my way to his office.

Before I enter I give a light knock, just in case. "Come in!"

"Chloe I'm super glad you made it." He says while getting up from his desk, to shake my hand.

"Me too!" I give an enthusiastic smile and nod. I walk over to one of the two chairs in front of his desk and have a seat. He makes his way back to his seat and pulls out a paper from under his desk.

"So, I know you're here to hear what will be involved during your time here and Red Bull." I nod when he says this. He places the paper in front of me.

"So there's going to be some interviews and shoots in the process, when you sign this contract you're saying that you agree to do anything the team requires you to do." He hands me a pen and I take it. Before I sign the contract I read little parts of it. And then I do the honors and sign it.

"Perfect, Red Bull Racing is happy to have you. So now in the next few weeks, when the season starts, we will have your car ready. And I'll introduce you to your teammate, engineer, and the rest of the team in the garage. Do you have any questions?" I shake my head no.

"Ok, well you're free to go, and you have my number so you can ask me anything." I nodded and made my way out the door.

I was driving to the hotel I was staying at since I didn't have a house or an apartment yet. I knew someone who was in town. I walked into my apartment and made a call.

"Hello?" I spoke

"HELLO!"

"God, Lando your voice is loud."

"Sorry, mate I'm in the car right now." He spoke quieter.

"Where are you heading?"

"I'm on my way to my mum's house, she's making dinner."

"Can I come?"

"Erm... sure! Do you want me to pick you up?"

"Yes please."
