Full Throttle - Lando Norris

12

"What the hell?!" Allison was not happy at all and the sprint race at Austin was not going her way. First, she had car issues during free practice and now Liam Lawson just pushed her off the track and even slightly damaged her front wing. "What is wrong with this guy?"

Obviously Liam finished the sprint race ahead of Allison and the Red Bull driver is beyond pissed. She got out of the car as her mechanics came running to take care of the rest.

"Nice race," Lando gave her a grin as he walked by, knowing well how her race actually went.

"Go to hell, Norris," Allison snapped.

Lando walked backwards, faked feeling hurt and put his hand on his chest, giving her a sad look for a second before grinning again. Allison looked away and ran her fingers through her hair, a frustrated look on her face.

Her eyes landed on Liam who just gave her a cold look before turning his back, unapologetic about his actions.

"Jerk."

Allison was coming back from the interview panel when she noticed Franco having a serious discussion with Kimi Antonelli and Ollie Bearman. She gave them a suspicious look before approaching them. Kimi noticed her first and immediately warned the other two.

"He..hey Ally," Ollie tried to act normal, giving her a welcoming smile.

"What are you guys doing?" She looked at the group suspiciously.

"Just talking about the race," Franco lied.

"Yeah, we were talking about the race," Kimi nodded his head, another lie. "We were not talking about you at all...ouch.." He stopped when Franco subtly hit him.

"It's fine if you all were bitching about me. I kind of lost it after that jerk pushed me off the track," Allison shrugged, now much calmer than she was earlier.

"I was worried you might kill him," Franco joked.

"Trust me, I wanted to," Allison replied slightly grumpily. "I mean, if he can drive fair and can't pass a driver without pushing the car off the track then maybe he shouldn't be here."

"He still drives better than you," The McLaren driver yelled as he walked by.

"Fuck off, Lando!" the other drivers' eyes went wide at Allison's reply, all three of them looked shocked, Kimi more than anyone.

"Community service," Lando yelled back, once again a grin on his face.

"I was happier in F2."

"Guys I found it," Jack Doohan came running excitedly, but slowed down once he saw the Red Bull driver. Ollie gave him a look, silently telling him to choose his words carefully.

"Found what?" Allison asked.

"Umm...my phone charger," Jack lied but didn't sound convincing. "I uhh I lost it this morning but now I found it."

"Okay..." Allison didn't buy his words. "You guys are acting weird," She looked at the other drivers.

"When are we not weird?" Ollie asked, trying to deflect any doubts Allison is having.

"That's true.." The Red Bull driver nodded, deciding not to give much thought about it. "Anyways, I need to go. Debrief is starting soon." She waved the group bye and made her way towards the Red Bull hospitality.

The four drivers watched till she was out of hearing distance and then all let out a deep breath.

"Okay, so I managed to find the cake," Jack spoke first. "I just need to go get it before the bakery closes."

"Nicely done," Franco patted his shoulder. "The rest of you all be there at the hotel before midnight."

It's Allison's birthday the next day and Franco has planned a surprise for her and he is sure she is going to love it.

A/N: Classes are killing me and I am barely getting any time to write. The next few updates will also take time, so apologies in advance

Thoughts on Liam ruining Ally's race? He is Ally's one of least favorite person right now

Thoughts on Lando getting on Ally's nerve? The guy really knows how to push her buttons 😅👀

Also Franco has a little something planned for her birthday and Kimi, Jack, and Olli are part of the plan. Wonder how that would go👀
