"Are you ready Charlotte" George yelled up the stairs

"Yeah i'm just trying to carry my suitcase" I yelled back to my older brother

We were leaving for Bahrain for Georges' race. We got in the car and started to drive to the airport when my phone started to ping with messages from Alex including one that said to tell George "Alex wants to see you when we land" he nodded whilst driving, it was always funny he struggled to talk while driving sometimes so he was always concentrating.

I also told George "Pierre said that Charles told him that i would be attending and he wants to meet me and Charles said that he can't wait to see me then.

We got to the airport and George met with the team who we were flying out with and i met Claire Williams for the first time and i was in awe she is so powerful within the motorsport industry and it helps to prove that women can be in this industry.

I switched my phone on silent for the flight and turned on some music on my headphones when a tap on the shoulder came from my brother who was mouthing "get some sleep."

So i did and i woke up and we were in Bahrain. It was so bright so i fished out my sunglasses and took off the jumper i had been wearing and followed George off the plane and to the car that was awaiting our arrival.

We soon got to the hotel. It was was tall and was pristine white, i guess because of the heat, it had a massive pool for us to go in on an off day. As soon as i got my room which was technically separated from my brothers but still had a connecting door 'just as a precaution' is how George puts it. I heard a knock at the door that bought me back to real life, it was Alex, Lando, Pierre and Charles, Max and Daniel all here to say hi. I presumed to my brother and told them

"my brother is next door"

and began to shut the door when it was stopped by Lando who told me there was a meal going on tonight for the drivers and their families in which we had to be nice to each other and not bring up any past feuds between them for one night. So i said

"Bet i'll be there, what should i wear?"

Pierre replied saying "it is a very formal dinner so a dress indefinitely but it can be any style."

So they said their goodbyes for the next few hours whilst me and George got ready together as always for an event as it was a tradition for us siblings to do that.

As i was walking towards the door next with Charles on one arm and Lando holding the other i knew i made the right choice coming to Bahrain.
