Flashback2019, Belgium
"Isa, I don't think I want to race again," Said Kalevi, he had just done his Formula 2 race in Belgium, unfortunately his teammate Anthoine Hubert was just involved in a major crash and his team just confirmed his passing, Kalevi was in his fathers drivers room in Alfa Romeo.
"How about we go see Seb? he might help change your mind." Said Kimi.
"Only because you cant speak like he can in a way of comfort," Kalevi mumbled but followed his father to the Ferrari garage, which thankfully Kimi was still welcomed in, Levi not so much.
"I thought I would be seeing you two here." said Sebastian Vettel, Kalevi saw he wasn't alone, Pierre Gasly (RedBull driver), Esteban Ocon (ex driver but current Mercedes reserve), and Seb's new teammate, Charles Leclerc, Kalevi knew they were Anthoine's friends so they must've been feeling the same way.
"I want to quit racing." Said Levi.
"I knew you were going to say that, how come?" said Seb.
" I should've been the one who crashed! Not Tonio, my car has been the shitty one all weekend not his, he didn't deserve this." Kalevi cried out.
"he might've not deserved it but also you wouldn't have deserved it, its racing. it happenens even as unfortunate it is we can help bring Tonio justice. you can win the championship for him, Charles has a chance to win the race tomorrow." said Pierre.
"We all dedicate a win in f1 for him, you and Esteban will be here soon, don't quit because of this. you're a great driver Kalevi, Anthoine wouldn't want you to quit because of him." said Charles.
"But I'll be getting a new teammate. I don't want a new teammate, I want Anthoine." Kalevi muttered, a pout on his face.
"how do you think we felt about Jules? we didn't know anything about his condition and we still had to race, that was probably the worst and most awkward podium I ever had," said Seb, he gave Levi and Charles a soft smile.
"It's not that I don't want a new teammate, the one I'm having is shit and always so rude," said Levi.
"Then make sure to beat him, to prove that's Anthoines place, not his," said Esteban with a slight grin, "give him hell." Kalevi grinned.
