7th of October 2021

Max POV:

The Turkish grand prix was around. And it was Thursday,which was media day. I normally hate press conferences and all stuff like that. But today I had another reason to hate them even more. I got paired with none other than Lewis. Yes,him. I would have to deal with his presence despite how much I hated too. I feel like people were doing this to us on purpose. They already know we aren't on good terms,plus the championship battle and now this

As we were about to enter in the press conference room myself and Lewis already made intense eye contact. When we sat down on our chairs there was already this awkward silence going on. None of us dared to even say a word. It wasn't looking good already and this was just the beginning

"Alright,welcome to the Thursday press conference ahead of the Turkish grand prix. With us we have Lewis Hamilton on the left,and Max Verstappen on the right who will talk to us shortly. Now let's go on with the questions"- The journalist started speaking and I already felt my nerves building up. It was just way too uncomfortable already. And by the look on Lewis' face,he didn't enjoy it either.

"Okay,so our first question,well this season has already been intense with the battle for the championship,so how do you guys feel about it?"

"Well,it's hard racing. It's what we do,we are both decent drivers and we push ourselves to the limit,and sometimes over the limit,but overall it's a great experience"- I tried to stay as rational as possible. I had so many other things in my mind that I wanted to say,but it would've been too much

"I think we all know that this is what F1 is about,the battles and all of that. I've seen on my social media that people enjoy our battles and that's really important as well"- Now it was Lewis who was speaking,but his answer was pretty decent to be honest. He was speaking the truth

The interviewer went on with the questions and they were basically all about racing and stuff like that. Just when I thought they wouldn't ask any personal questions that's when it all happened

"Okay,and now our final question for both of you. Outside of F1 you two don't really seem to get along,and there is a reason for that. Max,would you tell us more about your relationship with Lewis's sister?"

I was basically fuming on the inside and I felt like exploding at any moment. I hated how they thought they had the rights to ask this question

"Can't you guys just not ask about this. This is a very personal topic that we don't want to talk about in public. And it's not like me and Lewis are best friends or anything like that. I really have no idea what you all fucking expect"- This was the most calm I could be. However Lewis didn't seem to like my answer that much after all

"I used to have a good relationship with my sister. As you all can tell now things a very different. A certain person came into our lives and that's how it all changed. Plus they are expecting a child after all"- Lewis stated

"Why don't you just say my name out loud? It's not like people don't  know? Or are you that scared?"- I turned my head towards Lewis and basically started an argument

"You know i don't give a shit about you,Ivy or even your child? It's basically none of my business! Ivory chose to live this way and she picked you instead of us. I don't know what was going on in her mind but she definetly wasn't to herself"- Now Lewis replied back at me in an angry tone

"Don't you say a thing about them or this will end badly"

There was a lot more arguing after this and it got to the point they had to stop the press conference since it got so bad. What was the worst thing,was that all of this went live and so many people were watching. The media will blow up in any time

At the end we both walked out without saying a word to eachother. I immediately ran to the redbull motorhome and it seemed like everyone was waiting for me to come back

"What the fuck was that for Max?"- Christian asked me angrily as soon as I walked in

"I don't give shit at this point,but he has no right to talk about Ivy or my son in that way he did!"- I bursted out feeling more furious than ever

"Look Max,I know it wasn't easy for you,you just didn't need to start arguing in the first place"

"Oh my god won't someone be on my side atleast?"- I was fuming and my face basically turned tomato red

"We are all on your side,no one said that we weren't. I understand that this is a difficult situation for you"

After some time I was finally able to calm down,but it didn't help when tons of headlines from the press conference were out on social media

Ivy POV:

I sat on my couch with Mabel in disbelief,while watching the press conference. I simply couldn't believe how badly this ended

"Mabel,this is going to be a hot mess. I just know Max is fuming right now and probably arguing with someone from redbull trying to let all his anger out"- I said while still trying to process what just happened in the press conference

"I didn't expect it to end this badly. Like I knew it wasn't going to be the best,but this bad? I would have never guessed it"- Mabel stated

Then she got a phone notification. It was a message from Daniel. They decided to keep contact after the party and they are forming a good friendship. I always tease her about them being together though and she always gets mad at me

"Ohh,your lovely boyfriend texted you"- I looked at her with a smirk on my face

"Won't you ever shut up about it?
We met like a week ago jesus"

"But it is going towards that way. Trust me. I'm already imagining you two together. Oh my god yall would be so adorable"- I squealed in excitement after thinking about it all

"Oh my,just stop it. There is still time for that

We then joked around but then i remembered what just happened between Max and Lewis and my laughs were quickly gone.

I decided to call Max to see how he was,even though I already knew the answer to that. There is no way that he isn't pissed

***

I: Hey,Max. Listen,i watched the conference and it wasn't the best. I saw on social media people are already commenting about it

M: Ivy you know how mad i am right now? I just don't get it why do people not have a single bit of respect for our personal lives?

I: Max,I know. It isn't easy at all. I don't find it amazing either. We just have to get used to it cause the media will never change

M: And I'm also mad at Lewis if you don't get me wrong. He has no right to talk to you two like you are some piece of shit. I swear I wanted to beat him up on the spot! I don't know how i was able to control my anger

I: I don't even talk to him anymore so I don't even bother being sad for him. But you really shouldn't beat him up. You didn't do it,but you know it's going to cause even more chaos,right?

M: Yes and thats why i didn't do it. Ivy,i really want to talk but i am being called for a meeting and i really have to go now. I promise I will text you later. Love you lots

I:Bye Super Max!

After the phone call myself and Mabel decided to go out in town because we did get bored inside of our apartment. It was afternoon so we went to a restaurant to have some lunch. What annoyed me was that people were giving us weird looks. It did make me feel uncomfortable cause all i wanted was to sit and enjoy my food without people bothering us. I did notice some were taking pictures and I did get mad,but I kept calm since i didn't want to cause even more drama. What had happened between Max and Lewis today was already more than enough
