The sun was sweltering.

Blazing high in the sky, all mighty as a knight.

There was little wind in the Brazilian air making it a perfect day to go down to the beach

Except for that it was race day.

As much as lita loved these days even counted down them each night, she couldn't deny that she couldn't wait for the season to be over and for rest to take over her

There was one thing that she was sure of and that was she wouldn't be missing this goddamn heat.

Chugging on her redbull bottle as if a there would never be a drop again, the brunette stood trying to motivate herself into changing into her race suit

Max had already changed into his meaning he was able to go over last minute details with Horner.

There were different tourists from all over the nation walking past the garages, the ringing of snapping cameras following them like an echo

It was sometimes hard to believe even when she was standing here that this...f1 was her home from home

She was a lucky son of a bitch.

"I come baring gifts" hit litas ears with the all too familiar British voice

Autumn.

Turning just in time to catch the little purple battery powered fan before it could hit her lita let out a sigh of relief "thank god, I'm gonna be the next frosty the snowman at the end of the movie"

"You're mad of ice? No wonder your a cold ass bitch" autumn snickered as the French girl looked over to her like a red tomato

Rude.

"I can't deal with this heat" lita huffed as she shifted her stance letting the little propellers spin near her face but never too close to her hair not after last time

"Oh really I thought you were enjoying it" autumn hummed lazily as she chewed gum, loose strands of her auburn hair hanging over her eyes

Rolling her eyes lita just watched the fan go round and round, starting p2 today meant she had an easy chance to score high points and it wouldn't be too hard to pass a Mercedes

it was hardly a secret to anyone that both max and lita were clashing for the next WDC

while max already had 4 under his belt, this was the closets she had been to getting her own with only being 41 points behind the Dutchmen.

After crashing out in the Azerbaijan race last year and getting a concussion it meant not only did she miss those points but all the points on Singapore with being made to sit out and be covered by Liam Lawson which knocked her down to 3 in the championship

She wasn't letting her chances slip this time. Not when you could practically taste it.

Clearly haven  zoned out and not hearing her name be called out multiple times lita felt a small sharp pain in her upper arm

"Hey" she helped and looked to autumn with a glare who returned it with a shrug

"You zoned out" the brunette scoffed

"I was gonna ask who's that" following the auburn haired girls gaze she spotted a gorgeous women

She had Carmel like hair tied up into a bun and stunning grey like eyes, she was tall clearly around 5,6/5,7 with a small beauty mark above her lip.

Her skin had a healthy tan and god lita loved the dress on, it wouldn't be hard to mistake her for a model

"That's Aurora Hughes's" an all too familiar voice spoke gruffly as he placed his hand on litas waist

"Aurora hughes?" The Brit looked to him confused

"I've heard of that name before" lita hummed as her eyes narrowed in on the girl that was currently talking to a man with grey hair and a black and purple polo shirt on

"She drove in the Mercedes academy, Susie Wolff mentioned her a few times to me" lita eventually hummed

"Well she's officially gonna be another driver on the grid  next year" Max almost smirked as he watched his girlfriends eyes light up at the information

"Oh my god good, the testosterone in here is suffocating" the Dutch scoffed before autumn spoke up

"Everyone's already set for next year" she hummed confused "who will she be driving for?"

"Porche" he hummed lazily "she'll be Daniel's teammate"

Autumn looked at the Dutchmen for a moment before her eyes drifted back to the women who was smiling almost infectiously at the cameras, a pull at the back of her head as she watched from afar

Lita, watching her best friend, furrowed her eyebrows slightly the look on autumns face was almost familiar but to what end?

God she was probably dehydrated and become delirious already.

"Go get changed" max pinched her hip lightly bringing his attention to him

"Race is starting in 30" slowly nodding and looking back to autumn one last time who's eyes held something she didn't quite know, lita let max kiss her forehead before she scurried off

If only she had time for a nap.
