"How do you feel about the incident yesterday with Guessey?" John asked as he leaned back in his chair looking over at Ted.

"I honestly don't think it should have happened. Fans should not be that comfortable or angry with the drivers," Ted shook his head. "The man is getting assault charges though and Leah rightfully hit him several times, which some fans caught on video."

"What I find most interesting is that many females from that day have been going around the internet making sure that the situation is understood correctly. They are fighting for Leah to get justice. They are defending her if she needs it. I think Leah was in the right, but I want to know where her guards were and if they still have their jobs?"

"This morning she arrived with new guards so I'm assuming not John," Ted reasoned. "Alright, the drivers are set up for their positions. Guesey is in first, Verstappen in second, Leclerc, Sainz, and then Norris. This will be an interesting race."

"It's lights out and away we go!" John shouted into the mic as the cars took off. Max and Leah take their leads from the other cars.

"Red Bulls are faster than ever today," Ted muttered. "Looks like Tsunoda and Ocon has a small collision there. The safety car is being deployed."

"Was that his front wing?" John asked as they looked over the replay footage.

"How are we looking out there, Leah?" Isabella radioed.

"Flawless as ever, although I shouldn't say that," Leah went around the corner. "How close is Max to me?"

"Gonna be really close soon, Safety car was deployed, Ocon and Tsunoda collision, they are cleaning off debris," Isabella explained.

"Lovely, what are my plans for after this?" Leah asked. She woke up this morning with a throbbing headache and her eyes hurt every time light hit it. It was like this searing pain.

"You have interviews, a teammates' video, and then you should be done, why?" Cassidy joined in.

"No reason, I was just wondering," Leah lied. She was actually going to go back to the medical tent to make sure everything was alright because she felt really light-headed. She could feel that something wasn't totally right. She could have a concussion, but it was hard to tell. She usually didn't get one this easy, but she's had a lot of head trauma.

"Alright, well focus on the race," Isabella radioed. Leah laughed a little as she started to weave, she wasn't letting her tires cool down so Max could get around her. She wanted to win this race so she could shove it in his face.

68 laps in.

"Only a few more laps LEah, you've got this," Isabella smiled at the screen.

"Where has Max been this entire race, I've been bored," Leah sighed as she coasted around a corner hitting the curb a little.

"He's been tied up with Leclerc," Isabella added and then laughed.

"You realize how that sounds right?" Leah laughed. "He's been tied up, ahahaha."

"Leah," Isabella sighed slightly disappointed, but she couldn't help but laugh. "Wrong words to use, sorry. I forgot who I was speaking to."

"Yeah, please resay that for me," Leah laughed again.

"He and Leclerc are battling it out for second place, you have a 12-second lead, so you'll be fine for the rest of the race," Isabella explained.

"Thank you, thank you," Leah sighed as she laughed again. She was going around the corner seeing no flags get waved at her.

"Red flag gets back to the pit lane," Isabella explained.

"Oh shit, who?" Leah asked as she slowed down a lot ready to stop at any time. She had already passed the pit lane so she had to go around once more before getting to it. She came around one of the turns seeing the orange car. "Isabella," Leah muttered as she slowed her car.
