'Signs..' - 5

~ apart from all this drama..I can't wait for Monza but sad we won't see Logan race anymore. (Vamos Franco!! :DD)

Also what do y'all think of Ferrari's new livery? (I lowkey expected a black car, but only the numbers changed. 😞)

There will be some Spanish words in this chapter, but the translation will be right next to it!

Example: "Hola, ¿sabes dónde está el aparcamiento más cercano?" (Hello, do you know where the nearest parking lot is?)

(Monaco Grand Prix)

The Monaco Grand Prix.. a lovely sunny day perfect for the race day. The sound of roaring engines and people yelling fill the air above. All 20 drivers are in their cars prepared for anything that comes their way. Then the five lights go out and the race began . Carlos had an amazing start and so did lando. Sadly Charles Leclerc, the home favorite had to retire halfway through the race.

A couple laps passed and the Spaniard saw the checkered flag and blew right by, followed by Brit behind him. They parked their cars behind the 2nd and 3rd place signs, hopping out, and running to their separate teams.

Carlos hugged his team and turned to find Max Verstappen, the race winner, but was instead met with Lando.

- "Oh- Lando!! Congrats on P3!"

The Spanish driver pulled the McLaren driver into a tight hug for a moment before releasing him.

- "thanks Chilli, you were amazing out there." Lando replied with, "but next time let me overtake you, yeah?"

Both drivers laughed. Carlos playfully rolled his eyes and nudged him.

- "in your dreams, mate."

The Brit shook his head and they both went to do their little after race interview before being called to the podium.

All three drivers stood on the podium proud and happy. Especially lando, he got to share a podium with Carlos, even though they're not on the same team anymore. Lando felt like it was a McLaren 2-3, he knows deep down, Carlos will forever be part of the papaya family.

The Red Bull driver got his trophy first and raised it high, very proud of the outcome of this race. The second place trophy was handed to Carlos followed by Lando getting his third place trophy as well. Both the Ferrari and McLaren driver raised their separate trophies into the air, showing their teams and fans what they managed to win.

After they settled the trophies down the Brit immediately attacked the Spaniard with the champagne, completely drenching him. Lando saw how Carlos quickly reacted and soaked him as well, and well.. they obviously ignored the winner as they just continued to drench each other with the cold champagne.

After they finished targeting each other, Lando saw the way the Ferrari driver's hair stuck on his forehead from the sweat and champagne he poured all over him. The Brit just continued to stare at the Spaniard, watching his every move, the way he smiled, and wiped the champagne away from his eyes.. even the way he runs his hand through his hair so smoothly. He could watch the Spanish driver forever if it wasn't for Max that interrupted him.
