I am walking with my camera in my hand to the entrance of the circuit. I turn the camera on and start filming.

"Hey guys! Welcome to another vlog! Today, I am actually going to a Formula 1 race and I'm extremely excited. Let me explain what happened and where I am. So, a week or so ago, I got a call from a company that wanted me to vlog Formula 1, so it could get to younger people and I was up for it! So they decided to fly me out to Malaysia, where this weeks Grand Prix is. So yesterday, I flew into Malaysia and here I al!" I show the people at the gate my ticket while I keep filming. They let me through and I thank them.

"Anyway, I am even allowed to vlog on the grid, where the cars will be. I hope that I can film some drivers, because that will be amazing. For those of you who don't know, I always watch the races as I love Formula 1, so I hope I can meet some drivers" for now, I turn the camera off as I make my way to the grid. The cars are already there.

They let me through and I grab my camera again.

"I'm now onto the grid and I'm in the back, so I'm gonna make my way to the front. I am hoping that I can see my favorite drivers. If you have watched previous vlogs, you know that Red Bull is my favorite team, so I hope I can meet both of them. Ah, I am starting to see the red cars, which means Red Bull is in front of them" I say, as I see the Ferrari's appearing in my sight.

Looking past them, I spot the Red Bulls.

"Okay, so I am now seeing the two Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo. Let's see if I can talk to them" I say into the camera. Just then, all the drivers get back to their car, from having listened to the National Anthem. I smile when I see Max walking straight to me.

He smiles when he sees me filming and walks over to me.

"Hi! You are not from TV, are you?" he asks, a bright smile on his face.

"No, I am a vlogger! Say hi to everyone watching!" I say and point the camera to him. He waves and chuckles.

"Who is your favorite driver?" he asks me, although team members want to pull me away. Behind him, camera men and interviewers are waiting.

"You and Daniel actually" I say. Max grins and looks at Daniel's car.

"Oh he is right there! I gotta go but you can meet him as well! Hope to see you later" Max says.

"Thank you! Good luck, kick some ass, Max" I tell him. He nods and waves at me. I make my way over to Daniel's car, nerves going through my body. Daniel looks up, just as he was about to put on his helmet. He smiles brightly at me, waving into the camera. He takes a few steps forward, helmet still in his hands.

"Hi! Aren't you Y/N?" he asks and your eyes widen.

"How'd you know?" I ask him, as Daniel grins widely.

"I actually watch your videos. They are amazing and I am a fan of yours!" he says, smiling brightly. A big zoomer sounds and Daniel sighs.

"I really got to go now, but I'll see you after the race, okay?" Daniel asks me. I nod and smile.

"Good luck! Hope you can kick the asses of the Mercedes'" I say with a smile. Daniel smiles brightly and kisses my cheek, making my eyes widen slightly. Daniel waves and goes into his car.

"Hey guys! The race has just ended and I am extremely excited! Daniel Ricciardo won the race and Max Verstappen came in 2nd! They kicked some serious Mercedes ass! Daniel made everyone on the podium do a shoey, which everyone did. It was amazing! But the best thing is about to happen. I got invited to the celebration party. Like what?" I yell into the camera, as I make my way back to the hotel.

"So I am going to change now and go celebrate the 1-2!"

I walk into the club, loud music filling my ears. I look around, seeing no one I recognize. Until two handa are placed on my shoulders.

"Hey! How are you?" he asks. I turn around and see Daniel in front of me. Without thinking, I throw my arms around him, smiling brightly. Daniels arms find their way around my waist, holding me tightly.

"Congratulations! You did amazing!" I tell him, feeling really excited. I hear Daniel chuckle.

"Thank you! It was with a bit of luck" Daniel mumbles. I pull away and shake my head.

"No, you did amazing" I say, making Daniel grin widely.

"Do you wanna dance?" He asks me. I nod and Daniel takes my hand, leading me to the dance floor. I see now more drivers dancing, some with their girlfriends and some with random girls.

Daniel puts his arm around my waist, pulling me against him, while he moves to the beat of the music. I follow his rythem, placing one arm around his neck and one hand on his arm.

"You know what I thought when I won?" Daniel asks me. I shake my head. How am I supposed to know what he was thinking.

"That you must have helped. You wished me luck, that must have done the trick" Daniel says, making me laugh.

"You did it yourself, Daniel" I tell him. Daniel shakes his head.

"You don't get the point" Daniel mumbles, making me frown.

"What's the point then?" I ask him, confused.

"I thought of you when I won. Out of all the people I could think off, I thought about you" Daniel says, looking into my eyes. I just smile slightly, not knowing how to react to this.

"Do you want to go on a date with me?" he suddenly asks, a big grin on his face. I just not my head, not trusting my voice right now. Daniel grins even brighter and leans in, giving me soft and small kiss on my lips.

"There is more where that came from" Daniel mumbles, smiling at me.
