The driver, The Girlfriend and Me

Bad move

I woke up with the most terrible back ache. I wanted to make a good impression on my first day which just so happened to be media Thursday.

I got up and had a banana for breakfast before getting ready and throwing on my new t-shirt and looking very presentable and professional.

I went straight down to the garage where Nico was waiting.

"Wow! Never have I had a PR that's early! Keep it up!"

"Just trying to make a good impression!"

"Well I think that's working! You're here before Toto! He'll still be with Susie..."

"I don't think I'll ask further!"

"I wouldn't either, you'll get used to it"

As we didn't have any work to do, we sat around talking for a while. I couldn't take Nico to any press meetings until Ella had arrived for Lewis, who was pacing up and down, anxious to get started.

"Where is that woman?!" Paddy asked me.

"She was still asleep when I came out"

"Will you go and get her?"

"Yeah sure"

I literally ran to our motor home before going inside to see her sat at the table doing her makeup.

"Can I help you?"

"Have you seen the time?"

"Oh, am I meant to be at the garage"

"You were meant to be there half an hour ago"

"Can it wait?"

"Wait? You're in the best team in the business and you want them to wait for you?"

"Yes"

"No it cannot wait"

"Well it's going to have to. I need to look good"

"You're a PR not a grid girl"

"Just go"

"Bye bye!"

I went back to the garage alone.

"Where is she?"

"Getting ready and, in her words, wants you guys to wait for her"

"But I'm in the Thursday press conference in five minutes!" Lewis said.

"I know you are Lewis, Sophie might just have to take you" paddy told him.

"But I'm in the media square at the same time!" Nico whined.

"Boys boys! Fine, I'll go and get her. Sophie, you're going to have to drop Lewis by the media centre on the way to the media square"

"But the PR needs to..."

"Yes Lewis! I know she needs to sit on the front row! I'll let her sneak in!"

"Okay fine. Come on, if we don't go now I won't make it"

Both of the boys were in awful moods but Lewis' was the worst.

"Right, come on Nico, we won't be late if we go now" I said, leaving Lewis at the press conference.

"Are you okay?"

"Just a little stressed, that's all"

"Calm down! Stress isn't good for babies"

"I know but, I didn't realise how much work went in at a top team"
