Race day

Lando stood with crossed arms next to his car. Max qualified p1 and Valtteri Bottas p3. This is going to be a tough race.
The mechanics pulled off the tyre warmers and the warm up round started. On the straights he zigzagged. Max did that too. When they finished the warm up. He returned to the starting position. As all cars were back the lights went off. And the race began. He accelerated and Max defended his position before he went into the turn. Lando steered into the turn and then out touching the kerbs on the left. Then sped up to upcoming chicane he took the chicane good. Max was still ahead. At turn 7 He came in front of Max. He looked into the mirror seeing the red bull trying reclaim his position but he couldn't get pass him. This is the duel they both wanted.

He managed to stay  ahead of Max.  But he needed to box. The tyres were getting old. 'Box. Box.'
Lando entered the pit lane and pulled over to the side where his garage is. The tyres got pulled of and replaced them with mediums. Then the light when green and he accelerated and came in front of Max. He accelerated more when he was out of the pit lane. The last few laps was a battle between Bottas and Max. In the last lap he made it to the finish line and chequered flag got waved. 'What a race!!!'
'Yeaaahhhh!!!!' 'Wow I never... thought I could keep ahead of them!' Lando said relieved. When everyone finished. He gathered with Max and Bottas at the podium. He got out of the car and walked to the team and jumped into their arms. They celebrated together. He saw Ann and she was happy too. Max congratulated him. He put off his helmet and drank some water and grabbed his face mask. And waited for the interview when Max was done he was up.
'What a weekend must this be for you Lando. P1 congrats!' The interviewer said.
'Thanks, It was a great week for McLaren.' He said.
'Good. And Lando this is your first win in F1 how does it feel?' He asked.
'Amazing I just can't believe I stayed in front.' He said.
'Well Lando we'll see more wins in the future. Good job.' The interviewer said.

He walked to the podium and behind it he waited for his name and then he cheered as he walked to podium. When the anthem played the trophies were brought one by one. Then they celebrated with champagne.
