The private jet was abuzz with excitement as they jetted towards Barcelona for the upcoming race. The cast of "Champion" had joined the F1 crew for the flight, and laughter echoed through the cabin.

Tom and Zendaya sat together with Max and Lando, each of them chatting about the upcoming race with excitement as finally, Zendaya was showing an interest in the sport, much to Tom's happiness.

Charles was sat on one of the four sofas in the jet, a sleepy Alexandra laying across his lap as he wrapped a blanket around her, resulting in her groggily waking up and shooting him a glare. Carlos and Daniel, who were sat opposite, found this very amusing, until Alexandra threw a water bottle at Carlos' head, swearing at him in French.

Florence and Lewis had found comfort in each other's arms, their heads resting on each other as they dozed off, leaving Daniel feeling a tad envious. The others couldn't help but tease him playfully, making him blush and sending glares their way.

"Why don't you join them Danny?" Max taunted.

"Let the Honey Badger come out to play,"

Lexi, always the playful one, decided to stir up some friendly banter, in the hopes it would save Daniel from obvious embarassment. "You know, boys, next year on the grid, I'm going to be giving you a run for your money," she teased, winking at them.

Max chuckled, "Oh really? Are you going to take my seat the following year?"

Lexi laughed, "As if! I wouldn't want to work with Christian anyway. I have a feeling he dislikes me." She shivered, and Charles laughed, wrapping his arm around her a little bit tighter.

Max looked puzzled, and Daniel chimed in to support Lexi, "Actually, Christian really likes you. He's mentioned it a few times." Daniel shrugged. "He thinks you could win a WDC."

The surprise on Lexi's face was evident as she exclaimed, "Really? I had no idea!"

The others joined in, confirming that Christian indeed appreciated Lexi's presence and had even spoken highly of her talents. It was a revelation that put a smile on Lexi's face, and she sent a grateful look Daniel's way for clearing up the misconception.

"Don't go to Redbull," Pierre whined. "You'll just get ditched like me." He pulled a sad face, and Lexi laughed.

"I'm never leaving you, Gasly, don't worry. I bleed AlphaTauri." She joked.

"No, but seriously Alexandra, speak to Christian, he likes you." Max shrugged.

As the conversation about Christian continued, Max's suggestion for Lexi to speak with him more seemed to face resistance from Sebastian and Kimi.

Sebastian, with his trademark politeness, politely advised, "Maybe it's best not to be seen around Christian."

Kimi, on the other hand, didn't mince his words, "Fuck no." His directness left Lexi slightly taken aback, but she couldn't help but question their sudden concern. "Stay away from him, Heroux."
