CELEBRITY NEWS

Lando Norris and his race engineers daughter?

Yesterday evening the Formula 1 Rookie Lando Norris was seen with his race engineer and former formula 1 pilot Phillip Sennes daughter, Eleanore Senne. They were seen in a club in Bahrain, dancing close to each other. They even got filmed coming out of the same toilet cabin!
VIDEO⏭

That was just one of hundreds of articles, shit those girls from the toilet posted that video of us, it seems so wrong, we haven't done what they all think now. Shit my brothers and Papa will have also seen this, how should I explain this to them?
I stayed in my room until 2 pm, trying to avoid any conversation, until dad texted me...

PAPA🏎❤️

Eleanore, I would like to talk with you
about these rumors. I want you to come
to my room in 30 minutes.

I will be there.

Shit,shit,shit... what should I tell him? That a guy touched me and after that I throw up on the toilet?
No way! I have to think about something quickly...

About half an hour later I knocked at my father door, he opened it, giving me a critical look.
,,We will come to the point directly, what have you and Norris done on that toilet together?" He asked me with his strict voice. ,,I had drunk a little too much and Lando hold my hair while I threw up, he just helped me, none of us wanted it to look like that." That's not even a lie, just not the whole truth.
,,I believe you, but that's very bad for Lando, he is new and this could damage his career very badly Eleanore. You know how these things work, we have to find a solution for the media. But we will think about this later. I will travel to mom till the next race, your brothers will stay a little longer, what is your plan?" I'm glad dad changed the theme.
,,I actually wanted to go to Jeddah a little earlier." I told him. ,,Hmm you should ask one of the driver, maybe someone could take you with them, I heard Lando wanted to go early. I mean it seems like you guys are friends now."
Dad tried to make me feel even more embarrassed about what happened, but I really want to go there early, so I decided to ask Lando later.

LANDO
I just took a shower after running to get my head clear from yesterday and from the media, I changed in some fresh clothes, about to blow dry my hair when I heard a knock on my door. When I opened the door I saw Eleanore, she looked a little nervous.
,,Hey Lan, so I wanted to fly to Jeddah earlier, but my family got different plans and I heard that you would go there early." She told me, giving me a little smile. She just called me Lan didn't she?,,Yeah I wanted to go their tomorrow evening actually, if you want you could come with me" I saw the relief in her face and how she started breathing again.
,, That's great." She told me.
,, Maybe we should exchange our numbers, so I can text you the details?" I asked.
I gave her my phone and she quickly typed her number, I added her name and saved it.
We talked a little, when Ella was on the door about to leave, she turned around ,, You will text me tomorrow right?"
,,Of course I will" She smiled and she headed back to her room.
,,Good Night Ella" I called after her.
She turned her head, looking at me ,,Good night Lan." Then she closed her door.
She called me Lan again, I smiled.

ELEANORE
He's calling me Ella, I like that.
Normally everyone calls me Eleanore or Elli, but he's the only one calling me Ella and I like that way more then I should...
