I storm past the stewards at the Cool Down Room entrance. I sit down and bang the back of my head against the wall.
'Hey! Chill. What's wrong man?' - Lewis asks me.
'Nothing man. Just not exactly the result I wanted'
'There are still a few races to go, so give it time.'
'I just want this season to end' - I go back to my driver room and try to calm myself down. My head is not in the game and I have to get this sorted ASAP. I can't let what happened affect my performance on the track but thoughts of her cross my mind from time to time and I know I need to block them out. Singapore has been a shit show, again, and my morale is going down. The constant strategy mishaps are taking their toll on me and I feel powerless to help myself, to help the Scuderia. I need to remain focus on it and need to have a serious talk with the team. These mistakes must stop and I need to be given the tools to win races. The championship is probably lost but I need to start making changes now if I want to have a chance next year. For now, my first change is to get her out of my head. It didn't work out and we move on, right? 'We move on' - I mumble to myself.

'And Charles Leclerc has gone and done that. I can't believe Charles has done that to Max. That's ballsy and has just made Verstappen loose his P1 position. That was brilliantly done. I am so into this killer period of Leclerc's career. I can't wait to see what he will do in the next races and next seasons. This move is probably the highlight of the race here in Mexico. Charles has been killing it every race since the Japanese GP. The moves he has been making are brilliantly executed and Ferrari better give Il Predestinato all the tools he needs to steal this championship from under Verstappen's feet. He has been racing with anger it seems, he is calculative, offensive without lacking on the defence. Leclerc is by far the most complete driver right now. It is a massive pleasure to see him driving.' - I can hear the pundit say on my TV about yesterday's race.
I have to say that I am enjoying this killer period myself. The car is performing, I'm performing well and Max better be on the look out because I am coming for his championship. And the next one and the next 10, if I can.
