Anti-hero ~ Max Verstappen

32

Brazil had been even better than I imagined. Not only because I had won, getting a little more advantage over the rest, but also because the atmosphere that existed in this circuit was something unique.

I had finished showering and dressing up just a few minutes ago when there was a knock on my hotel door, I had arranged to meet Max for a walk around town with some of the guys tonight.

I opened the door expecting to see Max or Lando but instead I found Fernando.

-Are you ready?- he asked. He was dressed in jeans and a white shirt, like he was going out.

-I didn't know you were coming.

-You don't know a lot of things, little Stroll. I'm gonna need your phone and your wallet, better not lose anything.- he said extending his hand.

-Why would I lose them?

-Have you ever heard of the hazing done to rookies in F1?- oh no- They are always done in Brazil.

-Alonso, don't do this to me.- Maybe if I beg hard enough they'll feel sorry for me?

-Think on the bright side this year there are four of you, Zhou had to do it all alone last year. It is not negotiable Avery, your cell phone and wallet.- I gave in knowing there was no way out of this and hand him my phone and wallet- Let's go, they are waiting for us.

We went a couple of floors up, through a corridor until Fernando stopped before a door to open it. Inside the room were already Oscar and Nyck with Checo, no trace of Logan yet.

-Here I leave her Sergio, what happens to her from now on is not my responsibility.

-Are you in charge of this or...?- I ask after Fernando leaves.

-We have to wait for Logan before explaining anything.- It's the only thing he answers, I look at Nyck and he just rolls his eyes, I guess they have been here for a long time.

Ten minutes later the door opened again with a pissed off Alex shoving Logan inside.

-The idiot didn't want to leave his room!- he protested- He's all yours.

He closed the door behind him and the four of us turned to look at the Mexican.

-First of all, nothing is going to happen to your physical integrity, I think.

-You think? - Nyck asked but Checo ignored him.

-You're going to have to wear these t-shirts.- He reached into a bag and tossed the first one to Oscar who caught it out of the air.

-Come on, dude. If the team sees this they will kill me.- he said when he saw what it was.

He turns his T-shirt around, it was papaya with the words "Proud owner of a papaya tractor". I couldn't help but let out a laugh.

-Then dont let them take pictures of you.

Checo tossed a T-shirt at Nyck and he frowned at it.

-I think this one is for Avery.- he extended it to me but Checo stopped him.

-Nope, all yours for the night.- he tossed Logan his.

Nyck turned it around and on the chest you could read the words "Max Verstappen is my daddy"

-Who even made this?- Logan asked showing his shirt with the words "Sorry, I only speak freedoom" and an eagle in it.

-I will only say that he is French, now you can guess which one he is.

-It's Gasly right?- I try guessing, this has Pierre's name written all over it.

-Of course it's Gasly.
