BAHRAIN RACE TRACK ENTRANCE 29th MARCH 2019 7:30
"What is the time?" Trey asked, yawning as he and the BWT Arden team entered the paddock, greeting the fans who had decided to come down to meet the drivers.
"That reason," stated Dutto (of whom was fresh from australia and ready to help the drivers), "Is because we need to get you wide awake before practice and qualifying."
That was the thing with GP2. Unlike GP1 containing world class races like lewis hamilton ,of whom is friends with Jeff corvette, and sebastian Vettel with Charles leclerc who was entering his second season as a top tier racer, GP2 had practice and Qualifying on Fridays, Race 1 on saturday and Race 2 on sunday.
But there were benefits. BWT Arden shared a hotel with Alfa Romeo Racing and Team mercedes. This set Trey into to fanboy mode as Lewis hamilton was his hero.
It was simply amazing to see the paddock of a famous race track that was used every year by the best. Of course, this wasn't the best appearance of the paddock. Everyone, racers and fans, loved the to see the beautiful night lights flicker as they round every bend, paintwork gleaming for everybody to see.
Unfortunately, the media need to be given attention.
"Trey!Tatiana! the media want your attention!" Emma Jenkins, the enthusiastic but emotionless agent of the racers was accompanied by two journalists. Claire smith, the blue vaxhuall from pre season testing in spain sported a GP2 logo on her fenders whilst a smarter looking Alfa Romeo showed no sign of their media source.
"Claire will be taking you for your interview, Trey, whilst MR Jonjo will take Tatiana for separate interviews ahead of practice."
lovely Trey thought to himself i'll have to escape from the media if I want to get a glimpse of the pros.
...
There were cheers and woo hoos all over the place as the GP1 racers as well as their pit crews entered the paddock through a crowd of their adoring fans. Trey, of whom wanted an autograph from Lewis Hamilton, had decided to try and accomplish this by queuing with the fans of whom were there for near enough the same reason.
There were cheers from a few of the younger female cars as George Russel, rookie for Williams, entered the paddock. wonder how he reacts to that Trey thought to himself. I mean surely he must have a moment when he comes face to face with one of them.
Just then, Lewis Hamilton and the Mercedes team arrived. Of course Vallteri Bottas, who won the first race in australia, but that wasn't who Trey had come here for. He'd come for five time champion Lewis frickin Hamilton.
Trey stretched out his tire in which he held a GP1 program he had grabbed just a few minutes beforehand."Lewis! over here!" he exclaimed, bouncing up and down on his tires like a fanboy( in a way, he was a fanboy). As by fate, a passing spectator going faster then they should have slid right into Trey, covering him in beer and oil.
The young englishman began to shake the liquid off of him, when a voice said "Need some help?"
Trey looked up to see the silver painted Mclaren offering a tire."How about I help you get cleaned up in the mercedes paddock?"
In the background, Yazmin Zorba, a beautiful CRS sports coupe of whom also raced in GP2, was watching with her best friend Tiffany Fernandes. They chuckled at Trey's little 'mishap', with Trey mouthing 'best damm day of my life to them'.
Better watch out for Dutto and Kenny kirwan.
...
"So this is what a professional pit crew looks like," said Dylan as he admired the beautiful pink and red paintjobs of the BWT Arden racing team's pit garage.
Dylan had spent most of his time meeting and greeting some of the GP2 racers, such as Mick Schumacher and Callum Illot. Jetlag hadn't affected Dylan at all as the prospect of following Trey around for the first two races of the season kept him going.
It was a somewhat wake up call for the young Irishman. Look where he was compared to what he best friend was doing. This was were he longed to be, even if he didn't make it to GP1, the sight of him going around the world to race would stay firm in his mind.
...
The time now was 12:35 and practice for GP2 had just started.
Trey rounded the final corner to start his first flying lap."All right Trey, remember, we just want you to get used to the track in the first part of this session. We'll start worrying about qualifying later."
"Copy that Dutto."
Trey found himself enjoying the long winding straight he would himself on three times a lap. He what ride the smooth turns like he was on a roller coaster. As he crossed the line, he began to relax and stopped pushing himself.
"Great lap Trey, one minute thirty two point two."
"That's good?"
"Remember that GP1 racers are expected to hit one thirty flat in practice. That was your first one, just keep going for 5 laps then pit."
Tatiana found herself in the one minute thirty ones almost immediately. This allowed her to be in P1.
"Lovely Tatiana! absolutely love it!"
A smile grew on the young female's face. Just then, a small cloud of smoke appeared and the sound of tires screeching could be heard. Tatiana couldn't do anything and so waited for the impact.
