It is a close bet between Jason of Glacier and Arjun from Nitro. Can Arjun keep his pace and become the first Indian in history to win a World Championship!
'DRS enabled'
The Glacier car zoomed forward in an attempt of catching up the missed time on the last lap.
'Jason 0.9 behind'
"Shit"
'Keep pushing please'
"I'm pushing alright!"
The rain poured down incessantly, filling the air with an atmosphere of tension. The two cars in lead chased each other down to the turning of the last lap.
The turn that could determine the world champion was a meter away. Arjun pushed all his limits to make it.
"The rain intensity is increasing; I have no grip!"
Looks like Arjun is having a hard time with the wet track.
Just as the commentator finished the sentence, the black Nitro went skidding away, the spoilers crashing against the walls.
"Fucking hell!" He screamed fuming at the opportunity that just slipped out of his hands.
And with that Arjun from Nitro is out of the race and Jason from Glacier takes home the victory as world champion for his team!
Jason punched the air in joy as he passed the checkered flag.
'You good mate?' Nitro's team engineer spoke through the radio just to receive silence as an answer.
"Good race" people patted his back as he made his way into the garage.
The team principal could sense the storm cloud about to burst.
Arjun was used to praises his whole life, ever since he started his career. From first points to first podiums. These two years of being in the adult racing category has always gone north for him. The glances of pity was unbearable for him, he was being swallowed by ego and guilt.
Emotions of anger boiled over him as lashed out in frustration.
Swearing in the heat of the moment, he criticized his team's strategy and himself for a costly error on the track.
Ooh looks like Arjun has lost his cool at the Nitro garage. Meanwhile our world champion from Glacier is having his victory champagne shower!

"So, this is the second time in a row you've lost the title to Glacier's, what's the team feelings at the moment"
"I mean of course the team is a little disappointed after coming along all this way and missing the title. But we have two great drivers, of course Arjun we really do trust him and we are focusing on the next season as of now"
To say Stephen was embarrassed was an understatement. Two years consecutively the title had been snatched from the team under his watch.
All the journalists collectively questioned him about Arjun's little fit back at the garage.
Stephen knew the team head was considering a new team Principal and he wanted to redirect the anger towards Arjun before it costs him his position in the team.
....
"Arjun how does it feel to be in the same position as last year"
"Yeah, it does suck to be here again, so close to victory. But it was definitely a really competitive race and I gave my best. Just hoping for better results next season"
He knew he messed up by acting out while the cameras were rolling but he couldn't help but do any better. He was agitated at the moment and he had to let it out.
The adrenaline-fueled anger, however, soon gave way to disappointment and regret.
Alas! He was Arjun the first Indian to win a race with pole position and to compete in the finals twice.
He knew better than letting the word linger and agreed to give an interview on the race just to shut off the baseless rumours. He worked hard enough to secure a seat in this field and he was not letting go of it just because of a race he managed to get second in.
Apologizing to his team and fans, he vowed to channel his anger into motivation for the next race, determined to learn from this setback and come back stronger.
