Blame it on love

P18, first race

'Sydney!' Nyck yells, it makes Daley giggle. They are doing a track walk. Sydney came along, she won't be out on track after today of course, even though she is deaf. Daley is still scared it could hurt her ears, in some way, so she's playing it safe and she will keep her in the motorhome.
'She is deaf so she won't hear you.' Nyck looks confused at the female. Not understanding it, as the dog is trained and listens so well. Currently running loose around track, sniffing interesting places, but Sydney still is very focused on her little boss, checking if she's still close. As she relies on her boss and she knows that.
'How? She listens so well.' That's a sweet compliment. It didn't came that easy, but she tried her best training her.
'Dog signing, that's the trick.' And allot of trust in each other.
'Sydney!' He starts to yell again, not wanting to believe it. Bitch. Nyck just wants to make sure.
Confused she looks at the male from her age. 'Are you serious?' Nyck still calling the dog's name. He can't be.
'She is looking,' he says with allot of enthusiasm.
Her eyes roll. 'Because she is looking if I'm still here. I just said that we use sign language, trust me Nyck she is deaf.' Her hand patting the male on his back.
He chuckles, finally believing her, there is no reason to doubt it. 'How do I call her then?' Daley loves the sign, thought it was genius when she came up with it.
'Shooting Spiderwebs.' What? Nyck looks confused at her this time. Hoping she isn't kidding because then it would look stupid when he tries. He points his hand towards Sydney with his two middle fingers folded. He starts to chuckle when she comes running over, somewhat surprised. 'I told you.'
'Why Spiderwebs?' He gives the treat to the dog, that he just got from Daley.
'Because you've gotta make it a little fun.' And no one makes that move every time so she won't be running to everyone, not that she ever would.

She is unbelievable, Daniel shakes his head. Daley is chilling with her legs on the table, thinking about allot of things, as her head movies on the beat of the music that's playing in the paddock. Sydney lying underneath her chair, half asleep. He starts to film with his phone. 'Can I have your water bottel?' He doesn't wanna throw his, it's heavy and harsh.
'Let me film.' Michael and Daniel switch phone and water bottle. Daniel throws the bottle with a bow towards Daley, hitting the side of her leg; not wanting to hurt the female. Again the female doesn't jump.
Just confused, as she gets woken out of her thoughts. 'Oooh and another fail of Daniel Riccardo!' The three of them are all smiling. Daley grabs the bottle and throws it back to Daniel, but a little too low and not as careful as Daniel did. 'Right in the rose!' Daniel falls down on the ground, it didn't even hit him hard, he could stop it with his hand slightly before it could actually hit his nuts. With a hand in front of her mouth she tries to hide the smile a little, but the dimples kinda expose her. Quickly she gets up to check on him, crouching down next to him. Sydney standing too, watching her boss, but stays at her spot. 'I'm sorry,' she giggles, her hand on his shoulder. She looks up at Michael, who is smiling behind the camera, still filming. She feels bad for Daniel, that wasn't her intention.
'I'm fine.' Still pretending he is in a lot of pain, changing his voice a little. 'Imma need a kiss.' She chuckles and looks away for a second. Of course wants one.
'You wish.' If they weren't in public maybe. She stands up again and reaches out her hand, wanting to help him up. He takes it.
'You've gotta find a better way of scaring me though.' She smiles before turning around with a little hop in the air, she walks back to her seat, she tells Sydney to lie down again.
'Thought your father raised you different.' Her legs back on the table, finding it's a comfortable way to sit. Her father would encourage her though. That's just Tobias.
'Daniel.' She waits a second before she raises her middle finger with a fake smile. Daniel chuckles. He loves her for that, it's classic Daley. Who also can't hold back an actual smile. The more she thinks about tomorrow, the more nervous she gets, the official car reveal. Planning on doing a pole on Twitter and Instagram tomorrow, asking them if they like the car or that they like this -that they know right know- better.

Tobias wraps his arm around his youngest daughter. 'Today is the day.' A nervous smile on her face. 'They will love it. No worries, you did an amazing job.' It's still early, her siblings will arrive later this morning. Sydney, who's happy today, is walking on the left side of Daley.
'Thank you dad.' Her father is again wearing a white blouse, but it is part of the clothes. Other employees will come in the other official clothing, in the somewhat Aussie colors.

Messages fill their phones, notifications from different social media platforms. The official look is out into the world, Daley already teased a little this morning on social media. A photo of the yellow front wing; a close up from the two kangaroos with boxing gloves on, with the Porsche logo in between. There are a lot of positive reactions on the car. Many people like the kangaroos, it's humor. 'You did a nice job.' Daley looks up from her phone to Daniel, who hasn't seen the official look before today.
'Thank you.' He really likes the look. The blending of the colors, just the two colors together. It's simple but it's very noticeable - because of the bright colors. The base of the car lime green, that about half way it fades into the bright yellow; making the back of the car yellow. Still on the green, at the engine intake, there are the Australian stars on each side of the car. Like the back of the car the front wing is also yellow, except the front lines, they are green. The halo is black, other features are also black, like the number and brand logos.
'Now let's see how competitive it is.' He winks.
'I think we'll be good.' She says with a lot confidence. But his smile starts to grow wide.
'You still don't know shit about it.' She nods, admitting he's speaking the truth. She has still no clue how it works, most of the racing rules she knows now, but how good the car is compared to others, no clue. But then again no one really knows.
'I do know how it works, I just don't get the numbers and lines they see.' Daniel chuckles. It makes Daley smile a little, she loves his laugh.

As Daley her camera is pointed at her father she films him and the two drivers chatting. 'I just want you to enjoy it. Give us some good data. Don't crash, not in the first home race, that is not our goal.' They know he is messing around, it's classic Tobias, a great boss; who doesn't always really feels like one, but can be very serious when he needs to be. 'Good luck. Enjoy your time,' he finishes. At training they had a good phase, but now it's real, the real deal. Daley moves away and continues to film the people that are working hard.

Confused Daley is shown on tv, she is looking at a screen with lines, numbers and other data. She is pretty good with numbers but this is so confusing to her, she wants to learn though. But not today, today is all focused on the first race. When she opens Instagram, there has been bad reactions on Sydney being at the track. There is also a video of Nyck going around doing spiderwebs. The best comment just popped in her head. The video of the driver, with spiderwebs shooting out of his hands, she had already saved in her phone; someone edited it and she thought it was cool. "As you can see Sydney doesn't give a 💩 about y'all, cause she can not hear all the hater. Spiderwebs aren't used for no reason" And post, also posting it on Twitter. When she is scrolling through Twitter het eye catches a tweet from F1, it's her just a couple minutes ago, something she totally missed, being way to confused looking at a different screen. She retweets it. Now stop it letting it be about yourself, selfish bitch.

Ok so I could change this chapter a little and make it a bit more realistic with the corona shizzle, but idk if I want that (made this chapter before I knew this was gonna happen).
Everything is about that subject and it's annoying, obviously we can't go around it.

But what do ya think? Change it or keep the virus away from this?? Let me know
