Finland Vlog, Summer 2023

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Phone camera opens to a hotel restaurant, pointed unfocused at the table before the perspective flips, and Max holds up the recording to put himself and P in the frame]

LANDO [off-camera]: What's that for?

MAX: Documenting the trip for future us. It's the 3rd of August, 7:30am, and day 2 in Finland. Today on the itinerary is going out to see the shakedown, and then hopefully having another go at a group meal, because apparently there was some more important things happening last night.

ANNIKA [off-camera]: Everybody's a comedian.

[Phone swings down beneath the table, where Kerttu is laying across Max's feet]

━━━━━━━━━━

[Rental car driving down the highway, Annika at the wheel]

MAX: We have a designated chauffeur this week, because Annika's the only one who can read the road signs.

ANNIKA: [holds her fist up with her index and pinky finger extended. Rock n roll.]

LANDO: You've missed the turn.

ANNIKA: [Quickly checks her mirror] No I have not, you fucking bellend.

MAX: I'm starting to understand the difference between a Rally and an F1 race.

ANNIKA: [laughs and climbs upward to keep her grip on Kerttu's leash] It's much less civilized.

MAX: We've had to park in about twenty meters of half-frozen mud, and now Annika's taking us on a hike to her favorite place to stand at the side of the track.

ANNIKA: You're gonna love it. It's part of the experience.

MAX: Lando is doing his little media duties with the actual teams at the moment, but he'll meet us there. That was the price of the free tickets.

P: My shoe is stuck.

ANNIKA: Here, take my hand, step where I step.
