Prologue

The first rain drops fell on my visor. It must be always complicated; if it not be complicated it would not be right. Christina concentrates! Christina concentrates! My inner voice told to calm down. Nothing other as the track and winning the race cannot interesting in me now. I didn´t care about the viewers, who stood up from seats  or stupid rain. Only a few laps and my dream came true. I stepped on the trothle and a quickly leave from curve Copse. The next three follow. I shifted to a higher gear. Rain drops increased every second and fell on me. I hoped this rain of fortune for me from the God. I heard from my team radio urgent voice of my race engineer. God´s sake, what did he want?

“Please slow down, the rain will be denser, slow down.” His urgency in his voice was rising just as the rain drops added up on track.

“Yes,” I snapped on him with measure. “yes, I know what I ´m doing.”

I rolled my eyes and turned off the team radio. Let me alone! It is enough this stupid rain made me nervous. I exactly knew what I am doing and knew better this car like they, who sat at pit wall. I am driver not they. I quickly stood on break, exchanged on fifth gear, curve to left, fourth gear, curve to right, feet on break. Quickly feet on throttle. Fifth gear and go.  Long straight was before me. This is perfect time to leave behind me the other drivers. This is my home race and I didn´t want shame myself. No, not today! After long straight was curve to left. I tried to get off all possible from my car.  I heard how engine beautiful purring. I love speed and racing and live for them. I must concentrate on race. Foot on break. Slowed down. I felt like the rear wheels skid. Car ass was dancing. This is not good. Drops were becoming denser and denser and rain more persistent.  
        Third gear, fourth gear, fifth gear. Condition is becoming still worse and worse. I looked into the backward mirror. I cannot believe my eyes. The blood pressured is rasing like a Sun in the morning. He reached me. No. no. no. How it is possible? I had a very good time gap on him. I stepped on throthle. Rain or not rain. Nobody takes me my title. Shifted on third gear, second gear. I did on the last minute otherwise I would flew into the curve.
        He is still behind me. I pushed throttle on the monopost´s floor. Rain worsted the conditions on the track. I couldn´t see anything. Drops heavily rolled down the visor. Water is everywhere and inside car too. I must slow down. I had no choice. Slow down on fourth gear. Sharp curve to the right. I quickly spin the wheel. The car is skidded on the water. It plotted me. He is overtaking me. He is crazy! He may kill us both! No, I wouldn´t allow him. I passed this sharp curve as a first and would be faster like he. Not slow down! I should go on third gear but would stay on fourth gear. It is a risk. Big risk! Who don´t risk have nothing.
        Ass of car was unstable. Wheels parted water on the track. Water was more and more. I felt like something jostled into back of my monopost. The car became uncontrollably. On the wet track car was turning as a wild roller-coaster. I am trying to get ouf from hours. But nothing. I was helpless. The car didn´t obey me.
        I opened my eyes wide with fear. I took a large puddle of water. I couldn´t save this situation. All my attempts were unnecessary. I hold firmly  the hand on the steering wheel. I saw before me how barrier were closer. They are not closer to me but I am closer to them. I felt strong impact. I slammed nose of the car into barrier. I felt a sharp bump on my left side. All my body melted adrenaline mixes with pain.
        "Dammit! Fuck of!" I angrily banged my hand the steering wheel. This is not the end how I imagine. I grabbed my head to my hands. I turned with my head from despair. I did not to end into barrier 10 laps into race concluded, I had to stand on the podium, celebrate and have head in the champagne shower. In my eyes showed first tears. I felt pain in my left side. In every my breathe pain was poured to all my body. The tears rolled down from eyes. I opened with anger my seatbelts.
        I cannot see how they will give into his hands cup for the winner and he would be enjoying the title. The title should be only mine! I took the wheel and put it on monopost. Race marshals are already running to me. Carefully I came out of the car. I was despair shaking my head. I bowed my head; tears fell on lining of helmet. I was watching with mute amazement on marshals, who are working on taking off my destroy car and dream. My head was dizzy, just like when I a spinning out of boredom on a chair. I wanted immediately pass the helmet, despite the strong pain in my left side. Rain drops mixed with sweat fell from my eyelashes. I felt how rain drops fell on my hot face. I saw the marshal was coming closer to me and trying to say something. His words dissolved before me. Its like a scene from silent movie. Only what I have heart, is only incredible noise in my head and the heartbeat. Feeling like my blood wanted to explode into my head like the Etna. The helmet is falling down from hand. I heard it felt to the ground; my knees slowly undermine. All blackout before me. Nothing existed. Only darkness.
