Millie and Ollie have both achieved their dreams....to drive in Formula 1. But can their relationship make it though this big career change, or will they have to put thier dreams before their love?
(Second book-if you haven't already, read Banned fi...
"p2 at your home race millie! p2!!" her race engineer came down the radio "AY AY AY WHATTTTTT LETS GO GUYS!!"
the friday and saturday had passed in what seemed like a blur to millie. after the conversation she had with ollie, she was out of her usual race weekend flow, but when she lined up starting 5th on that grid, seeing the home crowd, she focused on the race and only the race.
she had come p2 a few times already this season, which she was over the moon with for her rookie season, but to get it at home made it feel so much better. as she pulled into the pitlane she saw a mercedes already parked up in the p1 spot. she was curious as to who it was considering both p1 and p2 in qualifying were taken by the redbulls of verstappen and ricciardo. pulling up to the side she saw the yellow 44 written on the side of the car.
"lewis" she whispered to herself
he hadn't won a race since jeddah 2021, so to see him celebrating with his team after winning his home race, almost 3 years later, brought a tear to the girls eye. she removed her steering wheel before pulling herself up by the hall so she could hop out the car and celebrate with her team, not having a lot of time until she was moved to the post race interviews.
"well millie norris! we would usually intervuew p3 but lando is still speaking to his team so here you are first! amazing race" said nico rosberg through the microphone "wait what" she said looking off to the side low and behold, there was landos car parked behind p3 "an all british podium?" she then said turning back the crowd laughed at how clueless she was "that's right millie, how does it feel not only to be part of an all british silverstone podium, but to have your first podium with your brother. no better place than silverstone right?" "uhh yeah. it's cool" she wanted to be happy, she truly did. ever since she started karting, her dream was to share the podium in formula 1 with her brother, but this chance she had been given was bound to be different, there's no doubt about that. she continued her interview with nico before moving off to the side.
standing watching lando talk to nico, she almost zoned out until she felt a tap on her shoulder. "arthur?" "congratulations!" he said reaching in for a hug she smiled at him and gladly returned the gesture. "you had upgrades this weekend right?" she asked him "yeah, ollie finished p6 and me p8" ollie got points at home too. she was super proud of him, even if she couldn't tell him that.
or could she?
"is he around?" she asked hopefully "umm no i think he's been taken to media, which is where i was heading but i had to come and congratulate you" he said giving her a small pat on the shoulder before saying a quick goodbye and heading off.
as she walked out onto the podium, she was flooded with happiness, watching the sea of mercedes, mclaren and aston martin fans crowding the track, which was now impossible to see. watching lewis walk out was amazing, but to be stood up there with lewis and lando when the british national anthem played, meant more to her than anyone could ever imagine. the trophy's were awarded and champagne was sprayed. millie and lando both sprayed lewis as he stood there taking in the moment, which he had ever so clearly missed. millie then felt her face get sprayed as she looked towards lando, who was attacking her with champagne. her and lewis teamed up to get him back, him eventually surrendering. he came and hugged her as they both stood with their trophies having a photo together, huge grins in the pairs face. in that moment everything felt right again, like nothing had happened between the two. grinning, they eventually walked off the podium.
when out of sight to the fans, millie turned to lando, who simply blanked her and walked past and down some stairs. he had played it up to the cameras. being on the podium with him at silverstone meant everything to millie, but clearly meant nothing to lando, and that hurt. it really did.
to make matters worse, walking back down the paddock made millie fill with anxiety. everyone was looking at her with confused faces. she had just got p2 at her home race, so why was she now walking through the paddock, head hung low with tears threatening to pour from her eyes at any moment. nobody really knew. she felt a hand on her back, causing her to stop walking. she turned around keeping her head low, until the person lifted her head. "chin up. you just got p2 at your home race" "piss of theo" she said as she spun on her heel and went to walk away.
he jogged to catch up until he fell in step beside her. "just trying to cheer you up mil" "i don't care, and don't call me mil" "everyone else does" "no just people i like and people who don't kiss me at clubs" "i was drunk" "clearly sober enough to kiss me so ollie saw and ruin my relationship" she said now stopping and moving herself closer so she could whisper. she didn't want to be close to him, but if anyone heard what they were arguing about, a lot of things could be ruined, and she couldn't take that risk "well i'm sorry" he said "that doesn't cut it theo, you've ruined everything for me" he suddenly stepped back and looked behind millie. she turned around to see ollie stood there with a betrayed look on his face. again. she knew exactly what it would have looked like from that angle and his point of view as she looked him in the eyes. he looked down and shook his head, walking off and into haas. Millie immediately tried to chase him but was stopped at the entrance to haas, her not being allowed in due to driving for aston martin.
