Think I need someone older

First Qualifying Day in F1! I am so excited and more excited that my dad will be here and support me! He is not here yet because he was in Denmark with my mom and my three younger siblings

As I got in my driver's room I got a call from him

"Hallo Papa!" I said with a smile on my face

"Wie geht es dir, kleiner Teddybär?" ("How are you, little teddy bear?") My dad asked

"Ich habe gerade mein Meeting beendet und ich habe die Konferenz!" ("I just finished my meeting and I have the conference!") I answered

"Okay, ich werde nicht dafür sorgen, dass du zu spät kommst! Wir können nicht nach Bahrain kommen! Wir fahren nach Finnland" (Okay, I won't make you late! We can't come to Bahrain! We're going to Finland") I close my eyes and I sighed

"Ich muss gehen Tschüss" ("I have to go bye") I said without any emotion

I walked to the press conference room, my seat was next to Lewis were I sat on the couch

"You okay?" Lewis whispered on my ear

"No" I mouthed wanting to cry

The questions started

"Question to Michaela" When the journalist said that I looked at her "Michaela, congratulations first of all to your contract with RedBull and welcome to F1! We all know that your father is one of the most loving f1 drivers, will he join you to watch your first ever f1 race?"

I sighed smiling

"Thank you first of all for yours good words!Unfortunately he won't make it! I am really sad about it but I know that being here or not my dad will support me! Not only my dad but my mom sisters and brother" I said smiling

Lewis looked at me with a sad expression on his face, I was one step before started crying so Lewis hugged me in front everyone to cry on his arm

"Don't cry" Lewis whispered in my ear "I'm here"

I calmed a second later and I looked at the journalist

"Sorry about that" I said laughing and wiping my tears away

After the press conference I walked out of the room with Lewis

"It was bad I know! But everyone thought that he'll be there!" Lewis said

"Yes he is going to Finland with my mom and siblings so I only have here Christian as my dad" I said smiling

"Christian is an asshole with people from the other teams but he has you and Max like his own children" Lewis said and that made me smile

"I am so glad to have you! I also have Nando!" I said laughing "And Andrea and I am like her daughter!"

"Definitely" Lewis replied laughing

I made it to Q3 and I was so happy about it, with an amazing time I will start just a step behind Pole Position in P2 and I am so happy about it

___

Am I nervous?

Yes!

Will I screw up?

Yes!

I got into the car with the adrenaline on my body and ready to fuck up my race! I am a horrible driver and I know that

I was behind Max during the whole race, I was trying to catch him but without any success

I got P2 and Max won the race with Fernando being P3

"Come here little one!" Fernando gave me a father hug "I am so proud of you! You did it so well!"

"Thanks!" I said laughing I walked to Max to give him a hug as well

"The best one" Max kissed my helmet and I walked to take it off

I watched Christian clapping his hands and looking at me like a proud dad
