~ I'm back from vacation !!

The sprint was really cool, surprised by Lando letting Oscar get the win 🥹.

Also Ferrari please pick up the pace I'm begging you . 🙏

Carlos and Lando woke up to the soft, playful nudges of Abby’s nose against their arms. Her brown-and-white fur shimmered in the morning sunlight as she barked softly, tail wagging with excitement.

- “Morning, princesa,”

Carlos murmured, reaching out to scratch her behind the ears.

- “She’s way too energetic for this early,”

Lando groaned, rubbing his eyes, though he couldn’t hide his smile.

The couple cleaned up and dressed for the day. Carlos pulled on a Ferrari hoodie and jeans while Lando opted for a knit sweater and baggy jeans. After attaching Abby’s pink leash, they made their way outside the hotel.

Fans screamed the moment they stepped out, some even calling Abby’s name. Lando raised an eyebrow, chuckling.

- “Did we just get demoted to side characters in our own lives?”

Carlos laughed, shaking his head.

- “She deserves it. Look at that face.”

They climbed into Carlos’s Ferrari, Abby happily perched on Lando’s lap as they drove to the paddock. Upon arrival, the cameras swarmed them, snapping endless pictures of Abby, who wagged her tail and soaked up the attention like a star.

Carlos handed Abby’s leash to Lando with a smile.

- “Take good care of her. I’ve got a lot of media duties.”

Lando smirked.

- “Don’t worry, she’s in the best hands.”

Their morning started in a similar routine, but now Abby seemed to attract more attention than ever.

After dressing up—Carlos in a white shirt and loose jeans, Lando in a McLaren shirt and baggy jeans—they took Abby for a quick walk before heading back to the paddock. Cameras flashed relentlessly, capturing every adorable movement Abby made.

Before practice, Carlos passed Abby to his cousin, Caco.

- “Take care of her,”

he said with a smirk.

- “She’s our little princess.”

Practice was uneventful but challenging. Charles topped the timesheets ahead of Lando and Oscar, while Carlos struggled with the car’s performance, likely due to the weather.

Sprint qualifying brought better results for Lando and Oscar, who secured a front-row lockout for McLaren. Carlos managed fourth, behind George Russell, but remained optimistic.

The lights went out, and the race began with minimal drama. McLaren held their positions, while Charles and Lewis battled fiercely.

But the moment that stole the show was Lando slowing down in the final laps to let Oscar take the win. The selfless act left fans and teams in awe.

During media duties, Carlos was asked about it.

- “Carlos, what’s your take on Lando letting Oscar pass?”

a reporter asked.

Carlos smiled warmly.

- “Lando’s a true gentleman, both on and off the track. What he did today shows his sportsmanship and his respect for his teammate. It’s not an easy decision to make, but it’s one that earns you respect from everyone.”
