The Brazilian Grand Prix brought out new emotions that, despite the critical conditions, managed to keep the fans in suspense: 5 retirements, a magnificent start by Russell, the return of a triumphant Max and, most amazingly, both Alpines on the podium...what a fantastic race, but you know: under the sign of Senna, magical moments are born.
Max was overjoyed and cheered as if he had won for the first time, he's back, my fellas...the lion is roaring again!
After the party on the podium he took the two French boys and brought them with him to, you know, be together...Pierre didn't agree that she had to be with Esteban but who cares, the important thing is that he takes this race as an indelible memory of his life together with his first career victory in 2020 in Monza, in the temple of speed

Max: Hey guys, congrats! You're awesome
Pierre: thank you! You were phenomenal too, you managed to win the race starting from the second to last row...
Esteban: yeah, you're great Max!
Max: ahahah thank you so much, I feel like a phoenix! You don't know how much I'm enjoying it right now...

As they were walking towards the parking lot there was also Mavis, Verstappen's sister (fictional character)

Max: oh! Mavis, you here too!?
Mavis: sure, little brother, as always I came to support you; come here, I'm going to squeeze you

The girl hugged Max tightly, she was happy for her brother's victory as well; seeing them, Esteban also wanted a gesture of affection, but he knows that Pierre doesn't really agree with physical contact especially with him, but he tried anyway: he turned to him, spread his arms and smiled, but Pierre looked at him and, unfortunately, did not return the gesture...on one hand it was obvious that he refused, he hates him, but on the other it makes us suspicious: why did they hug each other in front of their team knowing that they hate each other? Oh well, we'll figure it out later, now let's focus on the story...

Mavis: *he approaches Max* Max, wie zijn deze jongens, heb ik ze al gezien? [who are these guys, have I already seen them by chance?] (the translation is in square brackets)
Max: Ja, je hebt ze gezien, Mavis, herinner je je laatste niet meer? [Yes you saw them, Mavis, don't you remember the other day?]
Mavis: hmm...nee, ik weet het niet meer [no, I don't remember]

The two French boys felt uncomfortable hearing them speak in a language that was unknown to them... they couldn't even catch a few words that they might have guessed.

Mavis: wacht... ah maar ja! Hij is gedegenereerd met wie je dat jaar na de race ruzie maakte...[wait...oh yeah! He's the one you argued with after the race that year...]
Max: Ja... [yea...]
Mavis: aaah, snap het! [aaaah, got it!] *to the french guys* so I know you, hello guys! *hugs them both* How are you...
Pierre: we're doing great, and you?
Mavis: yeah come on, everything's fine; sorry if I didn't recognize you right away...
Esteban: It doesn't matter, we didn't know who you were either, but we understood it right away from the language
Mavis: language? Oh yeah, I apologize in advance if we speak in our language, we will never speak badly of you, toch broer? [right brother?]
Max: Zeker! [certainly!] (at certain moments in the story even Pierre and Esteban will speak French, but I think it will be more understandable... anyway I'll put the translation here anyway)
Mavis: okay come on, come with me and I'll take you to my apartment

The boys followed Verstappen's sister to the parking lot, got into their cars and drove to the area where her house was located; when they arrived at the door Bro had a bit of trouble finding the magnetic key, but finally they entered

Mavis: aah we're finally here...*looks at the boys* Pierre, Esteban, do you want a coffee?
Pierre: sure, thank you very much, you're very kind

Mavis at least took off her shoes and put on the moka pot for coffee, meanwhile Max was looking for some spare clothes for Pierre and Esteban, since their overalls were sticky with champagne; the Dutchman had already changed, since his dear little sister also had her clothes
