When Lewis wakes up, he doesn't know where he is. But when Max comes rushing into the room, he at least knows why he has woken up. Today, furniture, books, decorations, games and films are bought.
"We're going to IKEA!" Max shouts in his ear. "Max, I love you though, but please do this later Kiddo." Grumbles Lewis tiredly, giving his best friend's son a puzzled look. "But..." Max wants to protest but Lewis just says "Why don't you wake up Jenson, Nando and Romain!" And the young man is gone.
"You love him?" George asks his father sleepily. "Like a nephew, not a lover." The older man murmurs and disappears into the bathroom.
Gradually the others wake up too. Either by Max, Lando or Charles shouting or because they are woken up by Fernando who just shakes them till they are awake.
Jenson and Romain make breakfast with Kevin and Nico, which is served to the noisy crowd. "Where do we actually shop?" Carlos asks. "IKEA, Thalia, Dänisches Bettenlager, I think that's it." Says Nico. "It's called JYSK now." Max improves the German, who just shrugs his shoulders.
"That's supposed to be Danish." Max calls Kevin's attention. "Yes, what is that supposed to mean? Jysk." He asks with raised eyebrows. "How am I supposed to know that? Do I speak Danish or what?" Max replies. "The fact is that we're going there." Fernando interrupts them both annoyed.
"Bad night's sleep Alonso?" Jenson asks with a grin. Romain starts to grin as well. "¡Cuidado o te tiro una sartén a la cara! " The Spaniard hisses, pissed off.
"Translation please?" Inquires the Swiss. "He said 'Watch it or I'll throw a frying pan in your face'. Do we have to hide?" Carlos helps him out. Jenson shakes his head and grins.
"He just misses his boyfriend." The Brit laughs and Lando shouts "I told you Carlos! He and Mark are a couple. Give me my 50€!" Nando stares at him and the young McLaren driver chuckles nervously. "Time for me to go!" He laughs nervously and flees from the mad Spaniard.
When breakfast is over and everyone is ready to go, they set off. The first stop is IKEA. The drivers divide you into teams there to go out and buy decorations etc.
And that was probably the crucial mistake. The younger teams are now running around unsupervised and creating complete chaos.
Max, who can't do much nonsense under the care of Mama Checo, runs dutifully alongside his team mate and mumbles something about 'Formula 1 cars for the Carrera track' to himself.
Lance too trots along beside Nando, still in a bad mood and trying by all means to avoid the older man's anger being directed at him. So he is quiet and wordlessly carries the things Fernando hands him.
Lando and Oscar have decided to play a game of hide and seek against Williams and Ferrari. And to win, of course. They creep silently through the corridors so as not to make a sound.
Carlos and Charles also hide laboriously on cardboard boxes, behind sofas, on shelves or something else. Logan quickly sits next to Oscar and the two rookies squeeze into a narrow gap behind unfolded curtains.
Lando and Carlos decide to just run as far in the other direction as they can and end up at the seasonal deco. There they dart behind several reindeer and trees covered in artificial snow. Laughing, they talk quietly, not caring that it is so much easier to find them.
Charles bumps into Max, who is hiding from Checo. Without further ado, the two form a team and help each other onto a large shelf, where they hide high up between rolls of wallpaper and silently play tic-tac-toe and rock-paper-scissors.
Alex is looking for the five people. He doesn't know that Max is playing along. Checo is also looking for his team mate and is getting more and more annoyed. Daniel and Yuki are not much help. More like the opposite of it.
While Danny distracts the Red Bull driver all the time and gets on his nerves, Yuki is with Alpine and turns things upside down.
Because the cheeky AlphaTauri driver really embarrasses the two Frenchmen. He constantly hints that they don't hate each other, but are actually in love with each other. At some point the two Alpine boys have had enough.
They grab Yuki and carry the struggling driver through the corridors to a huge crate. Inside the box is nothing but crumbled styrofoam. They put the troublemaker in it and turn their attention back to the decoration with a French touch.
Yuki can't get out of the box on his own. He is too small for that. So he grumbles and shouts all the time so that his best friend and old team mate lifts him out of the box.
Romain and Jenson, who have also come along so as not to miss any of the drama, linger in the kitchen section, expertly eyeing the kitchen appliances. "You always need pans." Says Jenson, putting one in the shopping cart. Cooking spoons, pots, potholders, coasters and cutlery are also loaded in and the two start planning next week's meal plan.
Nico and Kevin trudge alongside each other in silence, loading the things they need into their shopping trolley. "What's up with Mick anyway?" Hulk asks to break the awkward silence. "What about him?" Kevin asks back. "Well, is he coming in the house too? I mean, he's still third driver at Mercedes." Explains the taller one. With that the ice is broken and the two start talking in Danish, with Kevin teaching Nico all sorts of swear words.
It takes several hours to find all the drivers. Since no one had the idea of looking at the shelves on top, Nando first had to threaten to drive without the remaining drivers so that they would come to light. In the meantime, Lando has changed his hiding place again and at some point Valtteri finds him asleep in a box of cuddly toys, so he and Guanyu are given the task of looking after the sleeping Brit.
Only when they are at home can Lewis breathe deeply and immediately puts distance between himself and the rest. That means something like: George can't go to his room and has slept at Alex's because Lewis didn't let him into the Mercedes room.

Why do girls always have to justify themselves when it comes to sport. Like, why do I need to tell someone the last 20 world champions? WHY?!
Or why do I have to justify myself for being a Hulk and K-Mag fan but also a McLaren girl. I support the Haas drivers not the team. It's a difference!! And I also don't support McLaren because I think that their drivers are hot. I mean, I really like Oscar, yes, but because I've watched him racing since he's been in F3! And my fav team ist McLaren because of Mika Hakkinen and Kimi Raikkonen! So why do I always have to justify myself but Thomas from across the street not?!
Or that my personal GOAT is Mika. I know, that Michael and Lewis are GOATS but that doesn't mean they have to be my 'favorite GOAT'! In football my personal GOAT is Robert Lewandowski, but that doesn't mean that I think that Messi and Ronaldo aren't GOATS
I'm still mad at the race from 2 days ago, don't ask why
