"As children we were taught that there are 7 deadly sins. The main ones are surely: gluttony, pride and lust. But one that is not talked about so much is certainly the IRA, perhaps because you think it is not dangerous enough and that you can check it. You probably underestimate it big. It could become a lot more dangerous than it might seem. After all, when it causes destructive reactions, it becomes the biggest of the 7 sins. "

📍 Grand Prix of Spain, 5 July

HOME. Finally Sophia could breathe good air. She breathed full lungs in that atmosphere that she had so missed, not least because she knew very well that it would last for a short time. A week at least, just a few days after the grand prix, but enough to return to life.

She updated the social networks as usual, warning the fans that the Red Bull team had finally arrived in Spain, ready to redemption after the 'disappointing' result in Canada. She immediately checked the commitments that the drivers would have to respect and the usual pre-weekend interviews were the order of the day. She queued up at his best and checked from the mirror of the single-seater if there were still the dark circles that the night before he had found on his face. A little for emotion and a little for anxiety, he hadn't slept much the night before. Understandable. 


She warned Dorothy, the head of the drivers, that shortly after she should have warned the boys that they should go in front of the press, and the news more than unexpected made her freeze on the spot.
《You was commissioned to you now. Congratulation》
She hadn't found any malice or discomfort in Dorothy's words. Also because she would have moved on to perform more important tasks than directing the life of the 'stars' Red Bull. What she didn't understand was why she made that unexpected decision and, above all, why nobody hadn't told her about it before. She took great strides towards the head of the technical area to ask for more information about that more than absurd story.
《Davide》
《Oh, good morning Soph. What good wind? 》
《You know very well. What is this story that I have to take the place of Dorothy? You know I don't like to bang back and forth and organize people's lives. I barely know how to organize my own. Not that I don't like it, we would miss it, it's a superior job and I'm honored but, NO. I feel comfortable with my previous duties. So if you're ever suggesting it to me my answer is no》
Sophia had talked non-stop with a pinch of nervousness that caused a loud laugh from David who now knew her as if she were a younger sister. 


《What laughs? 》said precisely.
《Relax Soph》he said his colleague leaning his hands on the girl's arms to reassure her.
《Relax? You don't...》
《 It was daniel who wanted you 》


And at that sentence, the repressed anger came out of the orbits. She should have organized the life of an unbalanced man after the same unbalanced man had organized his life by deciding for her what to do. But how had she allowed herself? 


《What?》was only managed to say. She couldn't believe how brazen that boy was in his body.
《Look, you were wasted in that area for your skills. Now you've moved on to something more important. You will be in charge of the marketing management of the team and its pilots. We've wanted to do this for some time, but Daniel has been ahead of us. Be proud, and congratulation》he said and then hugged her. Sophia, on the other hand, was more than happy, she was furious. Anger did not allow happiness to think rationally at that moment. If he could have, he would have gladly taken the head off that brash and boorish pilot.
《Thank you but, now, excuse me...》


She moved away again in great steps in search of someone, feeling behind the confused look of Davide who really did not understand what the girl had. She knocked insistently at the camper in plain sight nervously tapping his foot on the asphalt. As soon as the door began to open, she also started to talk. 


《I can know what you are going to do? 》at the question continued an epochal embarrassment that forced her to blush and cover her face. She didn't expect Daniel to open his chest naked as if nothing had happened.
《At the moment nothing but I wanted to sleep again an hour yet》 answered the pilot with a grin on his face and crossing his arms.
《Coated immediately. We must speak》
《Why? I'll make you uncomfortable?》continued to make fun of her not knowing that I'll make the situation worse than it should be.
《No, of course》with not little delicacy Sophia came in without permission keeping the distances always with one hand to cover the eyes while with the other moved him with not little effort feeling the skin burn at that contact.
《No but please, sit down》
《Thank you》


Daniel was stunned. 


《Do you take a t-shirt, please? to the contrary proof I'm your superior》
《Really? I thought you were just my manager》
《Oh, in this regard: how dare you ask for me? Dorothy has been doing this for many years. Who are you to decide what to do? You were slimy and disrespectful》
《Do you finished? and you can open your eyes》
Sophia did as she was told and to her surprise she saw him wearing a team t-shirt. Not that she was sorry without it after all.
《Whay? NO. Decide when I should talk too? 》
《You said I didn't know who you were, right? So at least I know it and I'll remember it with more security》
Sophia couldn't believe it. It all seemed so surreal.
《Do you want a beer? I see you very brim》
And it was true. He still felt his cheeks warm and it wasn't just because of his nervousness.
《I don't drink in service》answered trying to associate a tone at least acid and detached.
《Look that you're not a police. You should relax a little bit. Or are you too young to have a drink? 》


The girl was disgusted by such a lack of spirit that she showed that curly head. And most of all, they bothered her with her smiles of challenge that she threw at her, not knowing, however, who she was dealing with. Poor thing thought Sophia. He didn't know at all. With the same fury with which she had arrived, she left throwing a T-shirt found there by chance and slamming the door as hard as she could.

"So what makes anger different from other sins? Simple. If you abandon yourself from envy or pride, you only end up hurting yourself. If you give in to lust or desire, other people are hurt too. But anger ... is the worst. It is the mother of all sins. Not only can anger lead to overcoming all limits, but when it happens, you risk involving a lot of other people "
