Delaney Ricciardo is fierce and her determined to win at any cost has not made her well liked. But by the time she retires from tennis she is a twenty four grand slam winner and regarded as the greatest tennis player the world has ever seen.
But si...
"It's vegas baby!" Daniel yells, running through the door
"You don't have to say that every minute Dan" I mumble
"But it's vegas!" He continues to yell
If you haven't guessed, it's the Las Vegas Grand Prix. With it being the second last race of the season, I decided to fly out to attend.
"Shouldn't you be like, getting ready for the race?" I asked
"I'm too excited" he says, plopping down beside me onto the bench in his drivers room
"But surely it doesn't make much difference to you, it's all a blur when your driving past no?"
"Well, yes, technically. But it's the before and after part I'm excited for. The lights and the pizzazz and the buildings"
"Shouldn't you be a little more nervous? Givin the fact that you and Lewis are exactly tied on points with only two races left"
"I'm not worried about Hamilton,"
"Of course not" I mumbled, throwing my bag onto the couch and off my shoulder
"Did you see what he said about me as well?" Daniel asked
I felt myself still, before I quickly caught myself "Le- Hamilton says a lot about you, what was it this time?"
"His interview? Surely you've seen something about it, it's everywhere. Where he said he's not going to talk bad about me anymore"
"Oh that one?" I say, not meeting Daniel's eye, instead I had become suddenly very interested in the fabric of the couch "I did actually, i would say it best to just ignore him, like completely, don't think about it again. He's definitely just trying to get into your head since there's only two races left"
"Yeah" Daniel said slowly, and I could tell he was nodding his head how he always did
"At least one of you is worried about the other"
Daniel let out a scoff "the best man will win in the end"
"I'm sure they will" I say, slower than intended

Charles Leclerc had claimed pole position yesterday. Which actually made a nice change from Daniel and Lewis's usual back and forth fight for pole. Lewis was in P2, with Daniel in P3. A third place qualifyer for Mr Ricciardo? The world must be ending.
Today I'd gone for a complete over the top look to match the overall theme for Vegas. My dress was skin tight, red and beaded out in jewels. My hair was styled back in a messy updo and I had a layered stack of diamond red necklaces hanging from my neck.
