Thinking about some Sci-fi flavored gax fic this fine evening... Nothing major, no space ships, no aliens, no sentient computers, but just a little bit of weirdness, just a little bit of an inexplicable situation. I'm thinking about Las Vegas again, about how happy they both were, how they went out to celebrate through the night. What if they wished for the night to never end? What if they got what they wish for. A night in Las Vegas which doesn't seem to end, a moment held still in the river of time...

Las Vegas 2024. Going out tonight?

Thinking about the choice of name here. Last name versus first name. Something like there are no friends on track. Something like it's always personal with him.

"For everyone who loves the beef between George and Max Verstappen, I'm just gonna burst that little balloon by saying in the press conference after the race, before the cameras were turned on, they were chatting like old mates, sharing photos on their phones and all sorts." - Tom Clarkson on the latest episode of the F1 nation podcast.

GR: Max... Max had a fantastic race today

GR: this is a special thing for me. i've not been in this position many times in my formula one career you know but it's nice to be up there with guys like Max and Charles, who we raced for so long. i remember 10 years ago, in 2011, fighting each other and personally i wanna be back there fighting with these guys. hopefully not for too long

MV: 😊☺️😊 you will 😊☺️😊 (this man knew the mercedes contract coming up atm)
