Artemis had taken the decision to sit in the pit box, next to her father instead of taking photos around the track. She had explained to Toto about her priority during this race.
"I can let you do that for a race," he has answered. It wouldn't be a problem if Artemis wouldn't be out there, taking photos. Since everyone knew her boyfriend was replacing Lewis Hamilton this weekend.
So, everyone understood every reason she had to support him.
The camera crew recorded Artemis and Toto so they were aired on tv. Artemis has her headphones, just like her father.
"Here we see Artemis Wolff sitting next to her father," Olav says, "her lovely boyfriend, George Russell, will driving the Mercedes this weekend in Sakhir."
Artemis glances between the screens and the Mercedes in the pit box. She sees George at the top of the list and feels extremely proud. He might get to pole, she thinks.
The last twelve minutes are underway. The remaining ten cars are in the battle for pole position.
Two Racing Points [PER, STR], one Renault [RIC], two Alpha Tauri [GAS, KVY], one McLaren [SAI], one Ferrari [LEC], one Red Bull [VER] and two Mercedes' [BOT, RUS].
Artemis watches as she sees George in his fast lap. He was one of the last drivers out there. Valtteri Bottas was the man for pole. Only George could get to him.
She watches him crosses the finish line ... He was 0.026 short for pole position! George Russell qualifies second! And Mercedes has another front row for the Sunday.
It didn't matter where George qualified, she was immensely proud of him. She hugs her father and grabs her camera. She runs out of the pit box, to where the cars will be parking.

Artemis captures this amazing reaction between George and Max. Max laughs as he gestures George to turn around. George glances over his shoulder to see his girlfriend.
He smiles widely as he walks in her direction to hug her.
"I'm so damn proud of you," Artemis says as she hugs him tight.
"Thank you so much darling," George thanks, "I couldn't have done this without you." He lets go of her and kisses her.
"Di Resta wants to speak to you," Artemis smiles and pushes him in the direction of the interview.
"I will catch you later," he smiles, receiving a nod from her.

"George, first Q3 appearance, P2 missed out by two hundredths of a second, three cars within half a tenth. Tell me how the last few days have been and is there a sense of relief now you have got on the front row, because that was an epic performance?" Paul Di Resta asks.
"Thank you, yeah. It's been incredibly intense, so much to learn, the car, the seat – everything. It's just so different. It felt really alien to begin with and it's just a really different way of driving to be honest. You're trying to unlearn what I learned at Williams and re-learn how to drive this car fast. I tried a lot of things in FP3 and it didn't go well at all. To be honest I would have been happy just to get through to Q3 after final practice. Really pleased and we got it all pretty much all together on the final lap. Gutted to miss out on pole by 20 milliseconds. But if you had told me last week I'd be qualifying P2 on the grid next week, I would not have believed you."
