As if | Max Verstappen

me and lando hadn't gotten much sleep last night after we forgot the time and when the alarm clock rang we both whined about the lack of sleep. we got ready and went down to breakfast. Lando and I were going to look for some Australian themed clothing after our promise to Danny so we had gone down earlier to breakfast so we could have time to shop.

i walked around with my plate trying to decide what to eat and i felt my body telling me off but i felt a hand on my back which made all the dark thoughts disappear.

"take as much as you feel you can eat and I'll help you, okay?" Lando said, giving a cautious smile.

I nodded and took some fruit and some sandwich. we sat down and started eating. The fruit was fine to get down, but when it was time for the sandwich, my brain started to object. but it went well when Lando gave some reassuring words and was always by my side.

we each took a car and went to some tourist shop and found two white shirts with the print "i love Australia" on them. we decided to change right away and then we took our cars and went to the track. to be honest we looked more like tourists than drivers but what can you do for your friend.

we jumped into our cars and drove to the track and we talked on the phone as usual. there was unusually little traffic but given that we were out early I could understand why. we arrived at the parking lot and we were greeted by several fans who had arrived earlier to get a chance to meet their idols.

we approached the people and started signing everything from shirts, caps to pictures. I got several questions about mine and Lando's matching shirts and I explained that it was a surprise for Daniel and Oscar. after a few minutes we were thanked and we scanned our passports.

"promise me I get to overtake you at least once" laughed Lando.

"I guess depends on if you're better than me," I replied, ruffling his hair.

we hugged each other goodbye and I went into our hospital to meet Lucas. I was supposed to start in 6th place today and according to him, he had the best strategy in the world that guaranteed a win. I sat by the window and saw several employees step in and some said hello. it was getting boring and I was hoping Daniel had come by now so I texted Lando.

Belle:

I think we should show Danny our nice shirts now

Lano Norizz🧡 : 

good idea, I'll dodge McLaren in a minute.

jI got up and went towards the McLaren but was stopped at the doors by Max himself. I went to the side to try to pass but he thought the same thing and went in the same direction as me. then he looked down at my shirt and laughed.

"what's fun" i asked raising my eyebrow.
