DYNAMITE// MAX VERSTAPPEN

TWELVE

"Please remember that Monaco is a tight dangerous overtaking track."

Daniela told the young Mercedes driver while handing her the helmet with a slight worried smile.

She knew that Cooper was a driver that liked taking risk to get were she thought she deserved, which would be on the podium and qualifying the previous day had delayed that after Charles Leclerc caused a red flag after crashing left her in P5, leaving the young American mad and disappointed.

But she didn't blame Charles Leclerc, she would never blame her best friend as she knew the Monaco Grand Prix hated him for some reason, giving him what they all call the Monaco curse.

"I will Daniela, I'll take it as carful as possible out there while trying to make up positions."

Cooper Reynolds told her personal trainer with a small smile while slipping the helmet on her head over her balaclava before climbing in to the car allowing her mechanics to buckle her in, giving a fist bump to all of them including Daniela before focusing in to the task at hand.

She looked up at the lights after the formation lap, counting down with each light that turned red ready to get a good launch at the start as soon as the lights went out.

"Good start Cooper, that's one position made up, take your time there's a lot of race left."

Samual, her head race engineer said on through the head set as he watched the start from the monitor and data in front of him.

"Great, let's see if we can keep picking them off."

Cooper replied as she saw the car of the McLaren that was that of the Norris man just ahead of her.

"You're free to race but keep in mind that you also have to save your tyres."

Samual told her with a smile as he went back to watching the data and giving her feedback when needed.

Cooper smiled as she passed the two other cars bring her up in to second position around lap forty four.

"Great, you're free to race, you're tyres should be good Cooper."

Samual told her from the pit wall as she finally passed the car that was in front of her not even a second ago, gaining a lead from it quickly.

"It's Verstappen for the lead?"

She asked through her radio as she pushed on the gas with full intentions of catching up to him and passing in this lap.

"Verstappen in the lead, two seconds ahead."

Samual replied looking at the time sheets to make sure she was given the right information knowing that if she didn't she would be angry at them.

Cooper never got mad at them often because she was understanding but this was Max Verstappen, if the information that he given was wrong and it caused her to lose and him to win.

He was sure that the young driver would have his head on a sliver a plater immediately when she returned to the garage.

It was lap sixty nine when things turned bad for the young American Mercedes driver as she tried to do an overtake against the Red Bull that belonged to the Dutchman.

It happened suddenly, one second she was going for the overtake and the next second she was sent flying in to the barriers at a high speed causing her to lose consciousness for a moment.

"Cooper, are you okay?"

Samual called down the radio as soon as her car went in to the barrier, worry written on his face as he looked at the monitor and the shape that the car was in.

"I'm good."

Cooper said once she came too and pushed the radio button after blinking her eye lids to get rid of the stars that she was seeing.

"The race is red flagged, I wonder why."

She added with a teasing tone in her voice as she walked on removing herself from the destroyed car that rested in the barrier with the help of the medics.

"I wouldn't know Cooper, I wouldn't know."

Samual said with a chuckle whilst shaking his head at the sense of humor that the American driver has.

"That son of a bitch!"

Cooper Reynolds yelled out as she watched the outcome of the race from her drivers room, having been taken out by the very man that had just won the Monaco Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen.

"Calm down Cooper."

Daniela said standing up to immediately block the door of the drivers room knowing that the Reynolds woman would book it out of the room to give the Dutchman a piece of her mind.

The media would be on it before the young driver could blink giving her bad press which was something that the personal trainer knew wasn't good for the brown haired girl, especially not her rookie season in Mercedes.

"He crashed me out!"

The American driver exclaimed while glaring at the tv where the Dutchman was giving his interview.

"Okay, he crashed in to you but don't give him the satisfaction of fighting with him. He wants you to paint yourself as the issue."

"So he ruins my race and doesn't get anything?"

"Race control saw no issue in the move Cooper."

"Bullshit."

"I'm sorry Coops, but this is a matter that you let go, show him that you'll be the one on the top step next race."

"If he wants to play dirty Daniela, then so will I. Only difference is I'm smarter and safer in my driving."

Cooper Reynolds said with a glare as she watched the Dutchman get handed the trophy and then the Dutch anthem afterwards.

She would show him not to mess with her.
