"So from the sprint shoot out yesterday I just wanna say that sprint races really aren't my favorite. I mean they are just shortened fast races." Leah spoke as she went around Max.

"As we've said, it's just a little extra fun for the weekend," Isabella reasoned. "Now focus 'cause I have money riding on you winning this."

"You didn't bet that I would win the actual Grand Prix, but the sprint race?!" Leah gasped slightly shocked. "Alexa play no more tears by Ozzy Osbourne!"

"No, Leah I have money on that too, but this is today, that is tomorrow, so focus please," Isabella laughed at her.

"Only if you split the money with me?" Leah offered as she Overtook Max.

"No," Isabella laughed at her, but Leah slowed down allowing Max to pass her, but she kept her second spot."No! No! No! Leah."

"You know what I want," Leah laughed. "I have all the power right now, so you say yes or I lose," Leah explained as she stayed close to Max so they could get podiums together although the points didn't really matter for the sprint races.

"fine, fine, fine, I will split it, but that is very selfish of you, I mean I have Alejandro and Carlos to take care of," Isabella snapped back. She was joking of course so Leah started laughing.

"I have Lando, Pip, Elizabeth, and Cassidy to take care of, It's not selfish it's fair business," Leah countered as she went wheel to wheel with her teammate.

"One of my favorite things is listening to Leah's radio messages between her and her engineer," Ted laughed as her radio disappeared from the screen.

"My favorite is how she is willing to take second just because her engineer wouldn't split a bet with her. I wouldn't call that professional, but it is certainly entertaining," John added.

"You have five more laps to go," Isabella radioed to her.

"Thank you, where is Lando currently?" Leah asked. Lando has been getting talked to more and more by Zak talking about how he didn't like that he wasn't focused on his training, so Leah and him had been a little more distant than usual as they focused on their careers. They always made time for one another though and Pip, of course.

"Lando is currently P9 ahead of Lewis and behind Russel. Piastri is P11, Logan is P18 and Nyck is P17," Isabella read off everyone.

"Damn, alright, thanks," Leah overtook Max on a turn getting ahead of him.

"Why does she always have to be like that?!" Max sighed as he gripped his wheel. "I wanna throw my hands in the air like I would at an angry driver, but I can't."

"You shouldn't."

"But I want to, I mean she's probably singing, right? What song is it today?" Max asked GP.

"Leah, Max wants to know what song you are singing today," Isabella radioed.

"Oh no, what am I going to say? I meant here are so many," Leah started humming, trying to find the appropriate song. "Ooo please tell him Pass the dutchie."

"Leah, for real?" Isabella asked.

"Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side, pass the dutchie 'pon the left hand side," Leah sang as she kept the lead. The checkered flag was waved as she approached the last one. "Tell him, tell him it will be funny."

"Leah is listening to Pass the Dutchie," GP explained.

"What the fuck?" Max laughed a little as he went to overtake her but she blocked him." Oh that bitch, she's always gotta be a pain in my ass."
