Daniella looked at the sky as dark clouds were hovering above, seems like it is going to rain any moment.


“We are hoping to finish filming before it rains,” the produce informed her as Myra fixed the driver’s hair and mic.


Currently Max and Yuki are driving around the track, asking each other questions. And once the pair is done it will be Daniella and Pierre’s turn. Originally she was supposed to be paired with Yuki but the producer changed the decision after Pierre had a quick talk with him which Daniella knows nothing about.


“I think its going to rain the entire weekend,” Pierre said as he joined the RedBull driver.


“Yeah,” she nodded. “Hope it doesn’t ruin the race.” Daniella will throw a tantrum if the Russian grand prix turns out like the Belgian grand prix.


“Here they come,” Myra announced as the car came to a halt in front of them.


Yuki immediately got out of the car, his face looked like he is going to throw up.


Max was laughing as he got out as well.


“He was driving so fast,” Yuki complained. “I almost got sick in there.”


“You okay?” Daniella handed him her water bottle which he gladly took and drank.


“Mate you are aware that you are a formula one driver, right?” Pierre laughed, joining Max.


“Its different when you are a passenger and the car going that fast,” Yuki glared at Pierre and Max.


After a few minutes of briefing from the producer and cameraman it was Daniella and Pierre’s turn.


Daniella sat in the driver’s seat as Pierre tool the passenger seat.


“Okay, here we go,” she started driving.


Pierre look at the question on the card.


“Okay, first question,” he looked at Daniella who’s full attention was on the track. “ Among the current drivers who would you say is the best driver and why?”


“Oh god! Christian is going to kill me for this but I am gonna go with Lewis,” she replied, giving a quick smile to the camera. “He is the seven time world champ after all.”


“Good answer,” Pierre gave her a thumbs as she took a turn, making him almost fall off his seat. “Next question, who is your best friend in formu…”


“Lando,” Daniella answered instantly which made Pierre frown for a second.


He has noticed Daniella and Lando has gotten more very close recently and he is not very fond of the possibility. According to Charles, Daniella and Lando are are just friends, but she did say that she is dating someone. He wants to find out who is the guy and also hoping for a second chance with her.


“Is Max a good teammate?” he asked the next question.


“Umm yes,” Daniella replied, taking a few seconds to reply. “I mean he is like my brother and scolds me when I do certain things…but yeah, he is a good teammate.”


After a few more questions it was now Pierre’s turn to drive and Daniella to ask questions.


They switched seats and fasten their seat belts.


“Ready?” Daniella asked as he startes driving.


“Ready.”


“Among Charles, Max and Me, who would you say is the better driver?”


“Why is Charles in the question?” he laughed. “I would say you…sorry Charles and Max.”


“You know Charles is not going to like the answer, right?” Daniella asked.


“I know, but I gave an honest answer,” he smiled as he took a sharp turn, making Daniella lean towards him. She had to hold him to prevent herself from leaning further.


She quickly pushed herself off and tried to sit straight. “Next question, who is the better teammate, Yuki or Max?”


“I am not answering that.”


“You have to,” Daniella replied. “I answered all the questions.”


“No, ask me something else,” he laughed. “If I say Yuki, Max is going to kill me, and if I say Max, Yuki is going to kill me.”


“Okay then,” Daniella laughed and looked at the next question.


She asked the next couple of questions as Pierre drove very fast around the track.


“This was fun,” Pierre unfasten his seatbelt and Daniella did the same.


“For you maybe,” Daniella gave him a playful glare as she got out of the car. “My head his spinning.”


Max and Yuki were waiting for them. Max had his evil laugh going on as Yuki is still recovering from his drive.


“Water?” the Japanese driver offered Daniella her bottle back.


“Thanks,” she quickly emptied the bottle.


“How was it?” Max asked.


“Oh it was the best drive ever,” Pierre happily replied, earning a glare from Daniella.


“For me it was the worst.”


***


After a couple of interviews Daniella was ready to go back to her hotel. The next day is free practice and she needs her rest.


“Nate is waiting for me,” Myra told the driver. “Are you sure you will be okay?”


“Yeah,” Daniella nodded. “Max will drop me off. Now go and enjoy your date.”


Myra soon left to go spend some time with her boyfriend, leaving Daniella to wait for Max.


“Just give me 10 minutes, then we can leave,” Max informed her as his PR manager is rushing him for another interview.


“Take your time, there is no hurry,” Daniella smiled.


“I can take you back to the hotel,” Pierre joined the drivers. “I am heading back now.”


“Umm..” Daniella looked at Max.


“Its okay Pierre,” he told the AlphaTauri driver. “She will go with me, and I have something important to talk to her too.”


Pierre looked disappointed but nodded. “Okay then, I am leaving, see you two tomorrow.” He smiled at Daniella before walking out.


“You are welcome,” Max smirked at his teammate.


“You are the best, you know that?” Daniella patted his back.


“I know,” he messed up her hair. “Now give me ten minutes, then you can go back to your papaya boyfriend.”


“What?” Daniella looked shocked as Max shot her another smirk before putting on the hideous snapback and walking towards the interviewer.


***********


A/N: Pierre is trying to get Daniella back and he will try more in the future.


Also Max is aware of Dani and Lando.


I want another driver to be interested in Dani so Lando has some more competition. Any suggestions?
