F1 One Shots

#137 Carlos - World Champion

NARRATOR POV.: It's year 2028th, Sebastain, Lewis, Fernando, Valtteri and Daniel are all retired, welcoming new "kids" to the paddock. Last years were crazy, with Hamilton clinging his long time dreamt 8th title, making him the greatest of all time, Sebastian finally got his 5th title with Aston Martin and the "future of F1", meaning Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen, all got their long dreamed titles. Max 2nd with Red Bull, Lando his 1st with McLaren and Charles got to be first Ferrari Champion since Kimi Raikkonen in 2007. It was hell of a rollercoaster, but more than worth watching...
This year however, belonged to Carlos and Lando only as Charles took the gap year, George struggled massively in Mercedes and Max suffered long term injury and needed a break from racing to fully recover... Everyone wished him all the best...
It was, without doubt, "Carlando year", as Papaya fought with the Red race after race, but not so "hot headed" like Max and Lewis back in the 2021... They still respect and care about each other, even while racing... They're best friends after all...!
It again, came to the last intense race of the season, before which "Carlando" could be seen around the paddock, joking and laughing.
The last corner of Miami GP and....
-CARLOS SAINZ IS CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!!!
Nobody could believe their ears, everyone cheering in celebration. But noone cheered louder than Spanish fans all around the world... He's first Spanish champion since Fernando Alonso, so nobody blaimed them...
Carlos and Lando drove the cool down lap side by side, waiving to the fans and one another, also talking with their teams. This year was in Ferarri's favour, but no sour feelings.
They arrived to the parc feme and jumped out of their cars to hug one another.
-Felicidades mi Amigo!- Lando shouted, grinning widely. He got better with his Spanish, that's for sure...
-Thank you Cabron! I really enjoyed our fights...
-I did too Carlos, I really did...- their happy grins were unmatchable to anybody else... Two muppets...
Mick, Pierre, Yuki and some other drivers came to them, to congratulate new crowned champion. Everyone were happy that this year haven't stained anything between them...
-Uncle Chilli! Daddy! / Tio Lando! Papa!- was heard next, making their heads turn. Grins couldn't be bigger at that moment, seeing 2 little kids running to them. Little Rafael and Evie ran to their dads happily. Both men caught their child with ease and threw them up in the air couple of times, making the kids giggle.
-Felicidades! / Congrats!- they yelled, making their fathers laugh a little.
-Gracias Corazon! / Thx baby!- they said in unision, making everyone awe. Then kids wanted to give hugs to their uncles as well, so their fast reflexes came in handy, to not let them fall face flat to the ground.
After cute moment, they "switched" the kids again and made their way to their respective teams, to celebrate. Everyone were buzzing with excitment, estatic for 35th World Champion.
Even some other WAGs came to them after the podium and champaine, to congratulate, including Brynn Leclerc, Angelina Hamilton, Maddison Schumacher or Mackenzie Verstappen. Even though both Charles and Max weren't racing this year, they decided to visit for the last race of the season. Lewis and Seb attended the race too, with their beautiful wifes and they didn't miss the oportunity to congratulate the newly crowned champion.
People were shocked too, to see Hamilton and Verstappen families interact and laugh together without the issues, which were expected there. It was really refreshing and good to see, that not only the sport but also drivers go forward. It's really nice...
After the interviews, the team went on with celebrations, also having a surprise for their champion...
They entered the hospitality and the rest of the team erupted in shouts of "Congratulations!", but Carlos stood there, like frozen in place, with his gaze locked with his smiling father.
-You did it, mi hijo!- Carlos Sainz Sr said, and came to the smiling couple with his wife and both daughters at his side.
-Eres un campeon mi hermanito!- Bianca and Ana burst in tears, but had huge smiles on their faces nevertheless.
-What are you all doing here? I thought...
-What did you expect hermano? That we'll wait at home to see if you win that Championship o not?!- Ana smirked, and whole fam nodded.
-Right...- Carlos smiled sheepishly, turing a bit pink-ish on his cheeks and then thanked them for their constant support, getting lots of hugs in return. They all were REALLY happy...

...
Later on, when "Abuelito" was taking care of the little Rafael, his parents had a few seconds for themselves.
-Oh, Carlito...- Isabella smiled, placing her hands on her husband's neck, while she felt his resting on her hips -Mi Campeon!
-Gracias mi Amor...
-Por que?! (For what?)
-Todo... (Everything)
-Siempre Carino!- they smiled looking deeply into each other's eyes and then leaned in, to kiss sweetly.
-You did it...
-What?!
-You flew the fam here... For me...
-Si. Todo para ti Amor (Yes, everything for you my Love)- she replied gently and got another kiss in return.
-Te amo.. Mucho...
-Te amo- Izzy echoed his words, cradling his face in her hands gently, with soft smile plaing on her lips.
-I have to tell you something...
-I'm all yours.
-Estoy embrazada Carlito... (I'm pregnant)
-Maravilloso!- Carlos shouted in excitment and then lifted her up in his arms, to twirl them around -You made me one of the happiest man alive right now! Not even the championship can compare to that!
-I'm glad you're happy...
-I'm the happiest as long as I have you, Rafe and this little bean.
-Beans... We're having twins Carlos...
-You're the best person in the whole world! You know that, right?!- Carlos asked his wife and lifted her up with one arm around her back and the other under her knees.
-You ramind me of that every single day mi Amor- Isabella smiled and kissed his cheek.
-What's the celebration for?- Bianca asked them with warm smile on her face.
-I'm going to be Papa again!- he informed his sister with huge grin on his face and shiny eyes.
-That's amazing! Congrats!- she was overjoyed, just like the rest of the family and the team, when they found out. That night couldn't be any better than it already was...
THE END
