Feels Just Like it Should
Third Person POV:
Crofty: It's lights out and away we go! Charles Leclerc gets a good start and stays ahead of Max Verstappen. Carlos Sainz stays on third place and Perez on fourth. Y/N Specter stays on fifth.
The race goes on and Y/N stays comfortably in P5, untill...
Crofty: Oh no! Max Verstappen's car is coming to a stop.
Max: Engine, engine. Fuck!
Max Verstappen's Red Bull has come to a stop with smoke coming from its back[
A couple of laps later, it was Perez's car that breaks down. That makes the safety car come out and promotes Y/N to third position
Rob contacts Y/N on the radio
Rob: Okay, so safety car. Keep your delta positive.
Y/N: Copy.
Rob: So, we have a free pit-stop. You won't lose any places.
Y/N: Okay, who's behind me?
Rob: Hamilton.
Y/N: Is he coming in?
Rob: He's staying out.
Y/N: And the Ferraris?
Rob: They're also staying out.
Y/N: Let's box. I want the softs
Rob: Okay, so box, box.
The pit crew changes Y/N's tires.
Some laps later, the safety car comes back to the pits and the race resumes
The rookie set his sights on Carlos Sainz
Crofty: Y/N Specter with the fresh tires and pursuing Sainz. Who is on thin ice with the old tires.
Sainz contacts his engineer
Sainz: If I defend now, my tires will be finished at the end of the race.
Y/N pulls out of the spaniard's slipstream and easily passes him
Y/N: Come on!
Rob: Excellent job, Y/N. But just be careful with the car...you're pushing her too much. It could come apart.
Y/N: One way to find out. Let's get them.
Y/N starts to close in on Charles
Crofty: All eyes are on this man, Y/N Specter. Chasing down Charles Leclerc.
Martin: Y/N's pace is amazingly strong since the restart, David. This rookie is on fire!
Rob: Okay, so we have two laps till the end and your gap to Leclerc is at 0.3 seconds. DRS available.
Crofty: Y/N Specter started this race in fifth place and now has the chance of finishing this race as a winner and above all that, he'll be a rookie winner. But now, Can he get the move done? Yes he can! Y/N Specter on a beautiful overtake to take the lead of the race. He's going to win his first Grand-Prix ever.
Y/N crosses the finish line as a race winner
Rob: You did it, mate. You're a winner!
Y/N: Yes! Come on guys!
The young driver was on the verge of tears when he won the race
Zak: Y/N, we're so proud of you! You're the future, kid.
Y/N: Thank you so much for believing in me, Zak. May this be the first of many wins.
Zak: Now, bring the car back safely so we can start the celebrations.
He parks the car by the first place sign and just collapses crying
Crofty: And look at that. Y/N Specter crying by his car after he won the race. What's there not to love about this sport?
After the podium celebrations, David Coulthard comes over to interview Y/N
David: Y/N, what an amazing race. You pushed your car to the absolute limit fighting the Ferraris in order to get your first win on your first race. What are your thoughts?
Y/N: I'm announcing my retirement from Formula 1 forever and I'm gonna be known as the man who had a one hundred percentile stats. One race, one win.
Y/N and the Scott share a laugh
Y/N: Jokes aside, I'm really happy for the win. But I couldn't have done it without the team, they deserve it.
After the race, Y/N goes to party with the team. But because of the fact that Bahrain is a Muslim country, he couldn't consume any alcohol much for his demise
When he arrives at the hotel, he calls his family
Donna: There you are. I can't tell how proud I am of you.
He could hear his mother sobbing from the other end
Y/N: Wow...still crying since my win? That's some real support.
Donna: I'm just happy for you, Y/N. For once in my life I see that you belong somewhere and that you look happy
She couldn't hold her tears anymore
Donna: Just talk to your father.
She passes the phone to Harvey
Harvey: Race winner...congratulations, you deserved it.
Y/N could hear pride in his father's voice
Y/N: Have you been crying too?
Harvey: Don't push it. Also, get some rest. We'll be waiting for you.
Y/N: I'm not even drunk...unfortunately. My first win and I couldn't even get wasted.
Harvey: Good night, Y/N. We love you.
Y/N: Love you guys too.
He hangs up the phone and goes to sleep
Monday, 12:55 P.M
The morning after:
Y/N wakes up hearing knocks on his door
Y/N: Coming!
When he opens the door, he sees Lando there.
Lando: Zak's been calling you for hours. He's waiting for you.
Y/N: Why?
Lando: What do you think? He's paying for lunch.
Y/N: But it's early...
He grabs his cellphone and sees that it's 12:57 P.M
Y/N: Holy shit! It's almost one o'clock. Umm...tell him I'll be there shortly
He brushes his teeth and dresses up in a McLovin T-Shirt
He takes the elevator and goes to the Hotel's restaurant
When he arrives at the team's table, they give him a warm welcome
Lando: Nice shirt.
Y/N: Thanks for all the love guys, this win is ours. Now, to the first order of business...Zak's tatoo.
They laugh and have lunch afterwards
Later that day, Y/N checks out at the hotel and heads off to the airport to return to New York
On his way there, he decides to call Hailee
Hailee: I'm surprised you didn't call me after your race.
Y/N: I couldn't even call my own mom. And when I was finally able to call her, it was 3 in the morning here. So...sorry about that.
Hailee: Don't worry, I know how busy you guys can get.
Y/N: Yeah, I get really busy driving around in circles for two hours.
Hailee laughs
Hailee: I didn't mean it like that. Anyways, congratulations for the win.
Y/N: Thank you.
Hailee: Oh, and by the way, I'm going to New York later tonight. So...see you at the party?
Y/N: Definitely.
Hailee: Well, then I hope to see you looking good there.
Y/N: Excuse me, but when don't I look good?
He laughs at his own comment
Hailee: Good point. See you soon, Y/N.
Y/N: See you soon, Haiz.
He arrives at the airport and gets in the jet to finally go back to New York
Tuesday, 6:30 A.M
A couple of hours later, he arrives early in New York and sees Ray waiting for him
Ray: Congrats on your win, Y/N!
He says that and offers Y/N a cup of coffee from Starbucks
Y/N: Cappucino?
Ray: Your mother said it's your favorite.
Y/N: It is. I like to keep it simple. Thanks, Ray.
They get in the same Lexus car from the time Y/N came back from Miami
By the time Y/N arrives back at his penthouse, he sees his father there
Y/N: Dad? What are you doing here?
Harvey: Just bringing you a victory gift.
He gives Y/N a rectangular box
Y/N: What's this?
Harvey: Open it and you'll see
He opens his gift and sees a bottle of Macallan 50
Y/N: Whoa! Little early for a drink, don't you think?
Harvey: It's yours. You can have it in any occasion you want any time you want.
Y/N then hugs his father
Y/N: Thank you, dad.
Harvey: I was thinking about gifting you with another car...but you already have too many. And besides, me and your grandfather used to drink a bottle of Macallan back in the day.
Y/N smirks
His grandfather died a couple of months after Y/N was born. He never had a chance to meet him, he only listened to some of his grandfather's saxophone tapes
Harvey: Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go to work. Have fun at the party and get a haircut, alright?
Y/N: Only after the party.
Harvey leaves the penthouse and goes to work
After that, Y/N picks up a picture of his father and his grandfather together
Y/N couldn't help but feel his eyes welling with tears
Y/N: Wish I could've met you, gramps.
