RACE DAY! The Monaco Grand Prix. One of my favourite races on the calendar. The McLaren's were in P5 and P12. But the most impressive was that Charles Leclerc was in pole position for his home race. I was over the moon for the Monegasque driver. He really deserves it. 

Arriving at the track, I scan my pass and walk through the paddock and head off to McLaren hospitality. I'm a lot calmer than I was after qualifying yesterday. My mind is in a better place and I'm more focused on getting into the top 10 and getting some well deserved points for the constructors and driver championship. 

Sitting downstairs in hospitality with Lando, we decide to head to the garage to talk with our engineers prior to the race, just to go over any fine details that we need to know before getting in the car. Walking into the garage, I head over to my side of the garage to talk to Tom about the game plan for today. 

"Morning Tom" I said 

"Morning Jas, you ready to talk about the game plan for the race today" he replied 

"Yep, let's go" I answered

"Okay Jas, you are starting on the soft tyres today and we are on a two-stop strategy but depending on tyre wear during the race. Also try not to run over the curbs as that will degrade the tyre quicker. Sector times in one and two are good, jut need to pick up the pace in sector three. Other than that we are all set for race. Just chill for the next couple of hours" Tom explained to the young British driver 

"Thanks Tom" was my replied and just as I was finishing my chat with Tom, Lando was finishing his chat with Will. 

Lando walks over to m e and give me a hug and we walk out the front of the garage to stand in the sun for a little bit before getting into the car. Me and Lando were standing in the pit box, and he was talking to his ex teammate Carlos, I was looking down the pit lane, as celebrities were walking down and the one celebrity caught my eye. TOM HOLLAND! As I saw Tom Holland walking towards the McLaren garage, I used the back of my hand to whack Lando's arm repetitively until he grabbed it. 

"Jazzy what is it?" Lando asked his girlfriend questionably. 

"Lan, Tom Holland is walking this way and you know I'm a huge fan and that Ronnie loves spiderman. Shit he's walking this way" I said trying to calm down

As Lando and Jas start having a conversation, Tom walks over to the female McLaren drivers 

"Just wanting to say, I'm loving the livery for this weekend. It looks great" the Marvel actor said 

"Thank you. It's pretty great. I know this is going to seem unprofessional of me but can I have a photo with you, because I'm a hug fan and is it also possible to sign the sweatband because my nephew is a spiderman fan" I said nervously 

"Of course I can" he replied 

I pass over the sweatband for Tom to sign and get my phone out the pocket of my race suit and took a selfie with my favourite actor. 

"Thank you so much. You've honestly made my day and the sign sweatband is going to make my nephew so happy" I replied with a big smile on my face

"It's a pleasure. Anything to make fan happy and good luck for the race" was the last thing he said before he continued walking down the pit lane. 

Turning around to head back into the garage, the entire team noticed a spring in my step and a huge smile on my face, which made the McLaren team all feel confused. 

"What's made you all happy Jas?" Zak asked as I was heading to the back of the garage.

"I just met Tom Holland, who is literally my favourite actor and we had a really nice chat and he took a selfie with me and sign a spiderman sweatband for my nephew, who is going to be over the moon because he absolutely loves spiderman" I replied
