To drive an F1 car in Vegas will be special. I think driving at night under the lights of all the hotels down the strip is going to feel unbelievable. It’s been on my mind all year. I raced there a lot in karts when I was young, and it was one of the most special races of the year. Now being able to come back in an F1 car is going to be insane.

It’s funny, in a way, it feels kind of like a homecoming.

One thing I’ll be thinking about, as I put my suit and my helmet on, are the people who took the biggest chance on me before anybody else. The only people who could ever really know how much this means.

Mom. Dad. Dalton. Thanks for sacrificing everything.

We made it.

I’m home.

US border customs almost denying Yuki entry into the country and interrogating him for 2-3 hours is fucking insane-Mind you he's a Japanese citizen with a clearance for US travel and entered the country multiple times this year for other events. And then not letting him call the team or F1 officials to prove his reasons for entry.

Ban US races on god.

the key to this website is following at least one but preferably ten people who are just absolutely doggedly researching which stratospherically famous 1980s athletes were bisexual and which of them kissed in real life. with the seriousness of someone doing a phd thesis

Charles Leclerc/Carlos Sainz Jr. - Boarding School AU

7k | chp 1/? | T

“Boarding school ?” asked Charles in sheer disbelief. “Maman, we can’t afford a flat or even a new tutor for me, how do you plan on sending me to boarding school ?”

“Your grandfather will pay for it, Charles. He cares about your education and your future–”

“But he’s the reason we’re in this mess in the first place!” Charles said indignantly, cutting off his mother.

“Don’t say that,” she scolded. Charles went quiet, it had been a long time since she had raised her voice at him. His mother gave him an apologetic look, but continued. “This is all just a big misunderstanding. I need to talk to a few more of your father’s friends, get your father’s will all sorted out, and then everything will go back to normal .”

“So what, you’re going to ship Arthur and me off to boarding school while you figure it all out by yourself?”

His mother let out another deep sigh, her hand on his arm squeezed slightly. “No, Charles, just you.”
