The whole thing with Emma is awfull, for her and the team. Her husband has been in a car crash and is in the hospital. Emma has to leave to get to her husband, which is something everyone understands. Emma is from England, so she is flying back today.

Christian called in an emergency meeting with the entire Red Bull team. Max and Daniel were there as well. Christian had to explain the whole situation with Emma and what was going to happen now.

After the Grand Prix, I have to come to the Factory on monday, so we can go and search someone who will fill Emma's position. Emma has said that if her husband makes it out of the hospital, he'll be in a wheelchair for a long time, so she can't come with us the remaining races on this season. She isn't sure yet if she's ever going to get back.

For this race, Christian has asked me to fill Emma's duties, communicating with both Max and Daniel during the race. I agreed and so did Daniel and Max. Daniel was actually quite happy. You have to rely on your engineer and Max was lucky that he knew me, but the new person doesn't know Daniel, so it's going to be a new start for him and he is happy that for this race, he has me.

The problem is, that the Grand Prix of Germany is already next week, so Red Bull posted a job application already, so we can get started right away on monday.

But for now, the team radio has been opened up so I can communicate with Max, Daniel, Max's engineers and Daniel's engineers. Luckily for me, I know Jake and Mark well now, so it won't be a problem.

Jamie is now sitting next to me as the race is about to start. She is wearing her headphones again. I've had time to explain everything to her, so she doesn't have to ask much.

"I need you to do something for me" I tell her, as the cars begin to their outlap.

"Anything" she says.

"I need you to look at Daniel's times and tell me them if I ask you too, it takes less time like that than if I have to look at the times. You know where everything is, right?" Jamie looks nervous.

"Relax, it's going to be okay. If something doesn't work out, or if you're not sure about something, just tell me and I'll check myself, but I thought maybe it could be fun for you, to help me out today" she slowly nods.

"Game time" I say as the first cars turn back to their starting positions. The lights go on and off and the cars are off. I can see Max falling to P6, but Daniel is off very well. With some fighting here and there, he manages to stay 3rd, while Max immediately battles with Vettel. He first wins it, being to P5. Later on, he fights Alonso and wins.

"Can you check how many laps Dan has driven with these tyres" I ask Jamie as I check for Max after a few laps.

"14" Eve tells me. I nod and go to Dan's radio.

"How are the tyre's, Dan?" I ask the Australian driver.

"I'm beginning to lose grip, front right" he tells me. I go to the team radio.

"Jake, Dan is going to box soon, okay?"

"Copy" I hear back. I go back to Daniel's radio.

"Okay, box next lap, Dan"

"Copy" he says as well. I see Max's tyres are 12 laps old, as he started on a new set tyres instead of his used ones from qualifying. But I can see on the screens that his tyres are not looking great.

"How are your tyre's?" I ask Max.

"Losing grip everywhere, can I box?"

"Dan's in now, wait for me to tell you to box, please"

"Marcel, get ready for a pit stop for Max"

"Let's do it, Jas" Marcel responds. I love Marcel's responses. They're always personal and he is always so happy. He does sound happier this weekend. Maybe it has something to do with a certain friend of mine.

Daniel is out of the pit again, so I tell Max to box. He does so and gets new tyres. Both Daniel and Max have to fight back for their position.

At the end of the race, things are looking pretty rough. Max is in P5, but Raikkonen, who is P6 is far behind, so he doesn't have to worry with 3 laps to go. But Vettel is closing in on Daniel.

"Dan, Seb is closing in. I know you're doing everything you can, but please try to push"

"I'm trying, really trying, but I have bad grip. I keep slipping away in cornors" Daniel responds. 2 laps to go and Sebastian is 1 second away.

"The only thing you can do is not make any mistakes. And defend your position, Dan. I know you can do it"

"I'll try" Daniel responds. Luckily, he holds Vettel off and finishes third. I high five Christian. Max has managed to stay 5th.

"Good race, Max. You did a great job with fighing some drivers, good job" I tell him.

"Thanks Jas, congratulate Dan from me, please" he responds. I smile. He is happy for Dan.

"Daniel Ricciardo, you're on the freaking podium. Great race man!" I say through the radio. I see the line opening to the entire team.

"You guys, finally a podium again! Thank you to the team for doing an amazing job at the pitstops. And Jas, you are amazing! Thank you so much for this, you're great"

"You're welcome Dan. By the way, Max says congratulations!"

"Ahaha, legend. Tell him I love him" I giggle and I see Christian laughing as well. Although Max is already on his way to parking the car, I go once more to the radio.

"Daniel called you a legend and told me to tell you that he loves you" I say to Max. All I get back is laughter. I'm glad Max isn't sad or annoyed. He is actually happy for his teammate. Last race it was Max, now it's Daniel. Good balance.

After the race and after the podium, I said goodbye to Jamie, who had a plane to catch. I said good bye to her family as well and then made my way over to the Red Bull garage, where Max was sitting. I walk over to him and kiss his cheek.

"Great job" I tell him and he smiles at me. Just when he wants to say something, Daniel comes walking in and dances around. He runs over to me and hugs me tight.

"You are a legend as well. You made my race, thank you so much" he tells me. I giggle and hug him back.

"You sir, are a legend yourself. It's no problem, I'm glad you did great" Daniel then turns to Max.

"Are you ready to party tonight? All the drivers are going, as they're all flying back tomorrow" Daniel tells Max.

"All the drivers?" he asks with a frown. That is something that never happens.

"Okay, maybe not all of them, but most of them"

"Like who then?" Max asks, amused by the way Daniel is acting.

"Me, you, Lewis, Seb, Nico, Nico, Kimi, Carlos, Daniil, Jolyon, Jenson, Fernando, Kevin, Felipe, Sergio, Esteban, Marcus and Pascal. The others are going to have an early night. Boring asses" Daniel answers. I giggle.

"You can come to!" Daniel tells me. My eyes widen.

"Yeah, I mean, Jake, Mark, Roy, Marcel, they're all going. You're part of the team as well, you can come too" Daniel explains.
Before I can say anything, Daniel says something else.

"I mean I understand if you don't want to, after last time you were at a party where Daniil was" Daniel says and I close my eyes. I never told Max about that.

"What?" Max asks. I re-open my eyes and Daniel looks nervous.

"Shit, I didn't know" Daniel starts but I shake my head. I take a deep breath and turn to Max, who is frowning and looking annoyed.

"So, remember the party in Monaco?" Max just nods.

"Well, when I went to the bathroom, Daniil came up to me, not knowing who I was. He started flirting with me and I tried to push him off, but he wouldn't let me go. He was determined to get me to come home with him. Before he could do any harm, Dan showed up and got him to leave me alone" I explain. Max looks seriously pissed.

"But Daniil was drunk off his ass, man" Daniel adds. That doesn't help at all. Max still looks pissed.

"You're not coming then" Max says. It's now my turn to frown. I understand that he is mad, but he can't keep me from going.

"I am going. I'd like a party. I'll just stay close to you" I tell him. Max looks at me and then sighs, his face softening.

"Fine" Max gives in. I smile and high five Daniel.
