"Good to see you."

22nd march 2022, Monaco

I decided to not join the boys for the race in Jeddah. I wanted to have some peace after all the shit that went down with Lando. Besides that i also had to manage everything with uni so I could continue studying online.

Today Pascale and I went shopping and had lunch at her place afterwards. It was absolutely lovely. Ever since I met her we were so close.. she's a mother figure in my life and I couldn't be more thankful for having her by my side, which is also why I call her 'ma' most of the time. We often spend the days together when the boys are out of town and that's definitely something I will miss when I'll be travelling with Charles this season.

After a lovely afternoon with Pascale I make my way back home. Just as I entered I get a FaceTime call from Charles.

Mon soleil, how was you day?

Lovely, I was with ma.

That sounds perfect

How about your day ?

Nothing too special. Walked around the city with Joris and trained with Andrea.

So the usual

The usual

Any plans for tonight ?

Dinner with the boys. I'm about to head out but I wanted to check in on you. You sure you're okay..?

Because of lando..? I don't know it's not like I'm sad.. more that I'm so pissed.

And you have every right to be.

He doesn't deserve my thoughts..

True, so you got plans tonight ?

Yeah probably streaming again

Okay then have a good night. Talk to you tomorrow?

Yes! Hug the others for me!

We end the call and I change into a comfy hoodie and leggings for my stream.

I sit down in front of my set up and start the stream a few minutes later. I don't put the camera and mic on just yet, i wait for more people to join. I add a story with the twitch link on my insta and turn on the camera a minute later.

"Hi chat! I missed you guys!!" You smile in the camera and follow the chat.
How was bahrain? You read out loud "it was amazing! Obviously a 1-2 for ferrari and arthur had a good race too! I loved it!". What races will you attend ? "Funny story I made a bet with Charles and Carlos.. I lost.. soo i have to travel with them the whole season." You laugh and shake your head "but I'm more then exited." Why aren't you in jeddah then ? "I had to sort some stuff out with my uni so I can continue my degree online for now." Privileges. Just using the leclercs. "I met Charles before he got into f1 but yeah sure." You laugh and ignore all the other hate comments.

You have an amazing stream with your community you played different games and chatted with them. "Okay guys it's getting late.. I think I'll end the stream for todayyy" you read tons of comments and questions and laugh. "Okay 5 more questions but then I'll go to bed" you say smiling.

You read thru the comments and suddenly your heartbeats stops and you face drops. You read the comment again but not out loud 'Max_Fewtrell: good to see you'. You stare at your chat for a few more seconds before you snap back in. As you read the comments everyone goes crazy about Max being in the chat.

You quickly shake it off and ask the chat for the last 5 questions. Most of their questions were about the Leclercs so you decide not to read them out loud.

Which drivers did you meet last weekend?? You read out loud and laugh "that's literally the most asked question. Well I definitely found a new friend in Max Verstappen. Other then that the weekend wasn't very eventful" obviously it was a lie but I definitely won't the the world about my past and personal stuff like the fight with Lando.

Can you pleaseee start Vlogging when you're on race weekends?! "I though about giving you some behind the scenes so yeah maybe.."

Which race are you most and least exited for? "Thats a tough one.. most exited.. probably Monaco because it's my home but also monza, imola, spain. Basically Charles's , Carlos's and Ferrari's home races. The Tifosi are next level, you have to love it. Least favorite.. uhm.. don't hate on me guys but I think silverstone."

Why Silverstone? You smile sadly "Reminds me of a lot of things that I don't want to be reminded of. Just.. yeah I don't know.. personal shit and all"

What are you doing besides social media and streaming? You laugh "I really think you guys never listen to me! I do more then that seriously!" You smile and shake your head. "I'm studying for a degree in motorsports engineering. And before you ask why.." my mind drifts off the comment from max and I had to smile slightly "I was always obsessed with motorsport. I spend my whole childhood at the karting track beating my best friends. I wanted to stay close to them so... yeah thought that would fit.."

My mind wanders off again and I was wondering if max was still watching my stream.. "okay now that's it for today! It was lovely! I'll be back soon thank you guys!"

I end the stream and get into my bedroom throwing myself on top of my bed... why was max watching my stream..?

To get my mind off everything I turned on my favorite tv show and started watching it. About an hour later i was just about to go to bed as I saw a notification on my phone. From Instagram.
