Delilah had no idea how she managed to arrive in Singapore on time for the race. She had been doing shows after shows in Europe and was completely jet-lagged. The European leg of her tour ended at the end of the year and then she was going to North America until March. She would be in South America until mid-May and then she was off to Asia-Oceania where she was performing until her summer break in August. She would be in Africa from September to November. After that, she would not be moving one finger from her couch in her London flat.
Toto knew she would be coming but nobody else did. She was to give the trophies on the podium at the end of the race. She was happy to be back in the paddock. Monza in September was a surprise for everyone since it was Mick who stepped on the highest step of the podium after Lewis had to retire due to engine failure and Max DNFd after he had a puncture on his front left tyre. The Ferrari were at the back of the grid after a disastrous strategy call. Daniel and Lando completed the podium. Lewis was still ahead of Max in the championship but he knew he had to win this race if he wanted to secure the title.
After that race, Delilah had only seen Lewis a couple of times. She was begining her Europe tour and he was traingin in England and in Monaco for the end of the season. He, quite obvisouly, came to three of her London shows and she couldn't help but look at the section he was in the whole time. She missed him.
She couldn't help but realize just how in love she was with him. She loved every single thing about him. She loved how dedicated to his work he was, how he never gave up, how he always managed to find time for her and his family, how invested in everything he did he was, how he kissed her, looked at her, made her feel like the most precious thing in the world. In conclusion, she was in deep.
So, here she was, hiding in the Mercedes garage, trying not to be seen by anyone. If Daniel saw her, her surprise was fucked. Thankfully, everyone was too busy to even acknowledge her.
The race was flawless for the two Mercedes drivers, securing a perfect 1-2. Charles was beaming in third after he managed to climb back from P15 due to a penalty. The drivers were on the podium ready to receive their trophies. Delilah waved to the crowd who cheered and handed Lewis his trophy. She giggled when she saw his look. He was grinning so widely she couldn't even see his eyes but she knew they were sparkling. Once the initial shock faded, he pulled her into a tight hug. He hadn't seen her properly since Monza and he had missed her deeply. While the two lovers where busy staring at each others, the two other drivers had received their trophy. A loud shriek escaped Delilah's mouth when she felt Champagne being sprayed all over her white shirt. She hid behind Lewis but it was useless : she was already soaked.
