~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was it. Oscar's very first Grand Prix in McLaren Formula 1 Team. He couldn't contain his excitement, like a child on their birthday. The morning was bitter cold, but they had to prepare. They changed into their fireproofs in their Driver Rooms and stretched together. Then the race came around. The boys got into their cars. Then the formation lap came around. They moved round the track steadily, then returned to their startboxes. The red startlights began. Then they turned off.

Lando had a great racestart, overtaking Charles Leclerc in the first corner. Then it happened. What he, nor the McLaren Team wanted. A crash. Oscar had been sent offtrack, his car had been lifted into the air and sent barelling into the wall.

"FUCK! Is he okay?" Lando was worried

"We don't know. We've not had a response from him yet."

"Oh God. Please let me know when he responds."

"Red Flag, Red Flag."

"Is he okay?"

"He's okay, Lando."

"Thank God."

Lando returned to the pitlane. He saw Oscar, trembling.

"Oscar!" Lando ran over to him, crying.

"I'm okay, Lando."

"The crutches say otherwise."

"I might've pulled something in my ankle."

"Right. That means you can't race..."

"I'm sorry, Lando." Oscar looked at his feet. "I didn't want this race to go the way it did."

"Don't apologise! It wasn't your fault. It really wasn't."

"I don't even understand how it happened."

Lando turned around. His engineer was calling him over for race restart. Lando hugged Oscar and went over to his car.

"Bye, Oz."

"Bye, Lan."

The race restarted. Fernando Alonso was put in a wall by Lewis Hamilton And Charles Leclerc's car stopped working. After all that, Lando received second place. He was upset that Oscar crashed out at the start, but so glad that he was okay.

He celebrated his podium, then walked to his Driver Room to get changed. Oscar took significantly longer to change today because of his injury.

"Oscar, are you okay?"

"Yeah." Oscar walked out his Driver Room, putting his shirt on as he left.

"These crutches are gonna do my fucking head in."

"Oscar, calm down-"

"I'm so fucking stupid."

"Oscar, please. You aren't stupid. You're so smart!"

"No I'm not! I'm a stupid idiot who got himself into trouble with half the grid!"

Lando could see the tears well up In Oscar's eyes. He needed support. Lando could tell.

"Oscar, talk to me. What's going on?"

Oscar wouldn't speak. Lando called Oscar's engineer over to help.

"He won't talk to me. There's something going on and he won't tell me."

"Oscar, lets sit down and talk in your driver room. Lando, could you stay outside for a moment?"

Lando nodded, wiping rogue tears off his face. He didn't know if he'd done something or if there was actually something going on that Oscar wouldn't tell him. What if Oscar actually hated Lando? He didn't know, but wanted to know. Oscar was becoming Lando's best friend incredibly quick. Seeing him like this was bizarre anyway, since he was an incredibly happy, funny and chirpy person.

Oscar left his Driver Room, wiping the tears from his eyes. He turned to Lando.

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine. Now please talk to me."

"Okay, Lando."

They walked into Lando's Driver Room and talked about what's been going on. Lando pulled Oscar closer to him and hugged him tightly. Lando let Oscar cry into his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry all that happened to you, Oz."

Lando brushed Oscar's hair back, hugging him tighter. Tears trailed down Lando's face as he rubbed Oscar's back to comfort him.
