Tom Maubant : a Fabio Quartararo support person

If you watch MotoGP, you've probably seen him in the Yamaha garage or next to Fabio on the grid. Never leaving Fabio's side, I'm here to talk about Tom Maubant, Fabio's PA since 2017.

Since most sources of information are in french (this article, Michel Turco's biography of Fabio, the Fabio, la naissance d'un champion documentary on Canal+), I thought I would make a quick post to share the facts.

Tom & Fabio met during the summer of 2015, back when Tom was in charge of a nautical base in Nice. At the time, Fabio was 16 and Tom was 22 (he was born on the 25th of November 1993, bless you Fabio for the birthday post).

"When he wasn’t in Spain, he came to see me regularly so he could do some jet ski. He became like a little brother to me, I wanted to protect him. At that time, I didn’t really have an interest in moto, my thing was more football. I started following Grand Prix with Fabio.” Quickly, the two niçois [people from Nice] become inseparable. “We were always hanging out together, says Thomas. And since Fabio didn’t have his driving license, I would take him almost everywhere. It’s during the summer that he started having issues with his team. I made him laugh, tried to support him morally." [source : Fabio Quartararo : l'ascension d'un prodige]

In March of 2016, for the Qatar Grand Prix, Tom travels for the first time with Fabio. That season was complicated for Fabio, especially with everything happening with his first manager. During the year, he starts working with Eric Mahé and Tom is here for the last 3 Grand Prix of the season : Japan, Malaysia, Valencia.

"The season was complicated. I had understood that he needed moral support more than just a simple physical presence. He got angry a lot and I spent a lot of time calming him down." [source]

In 2017, Tom still worked at the beach in Nice but he traveled with Fabio for more races. While Eric [Mahé] took care of the contract side of things, Tom dealt with the day-to-day stuff (exchanges with press officers, equipment managers, etc...). In 2018, Tom quits his job in Nice and fully becomes Fabio's full time PA.

Them when Fabio won rookie of the year in Motegi, 2019.

World Champion, 2021.

They've both said a certain number of times that they were each other's best friends and if you look at one of them's instagram posts, you have a good chance to find the other there. They often go on holidays together and honestly, they have my entire heart.

Additional facts :

They have several tattoos in common : the smiley on their big toe, the keys and "blessed" diamonds on their arms. Also, Tom got Fabio's "20" tattooed on his arm after the 2021 season (video).

Tom is Family™ (on the left : with Fabio's mom after Fabio's first podium in Barcelona, 2019 - on the right : also Barcelona but in 2021, with Fabio's dad).

He's also a more than honorary member of the Fab 4.

He's been dating Mathilde Poncharal (Hervé Poncharal's daughter, she also works for GasGas as a Press Officer) for a handful of years now and often times, Fabio looks like their adoptive son. They're very domestic. I love them.

A List of Stop-Motion Feature-Length Films You Probably Haven't Tried.

If you’re anything like me, stop-motion animation is something that you’re sick of hearing about, because it’s always the same fucking recommendations. I took the time to browse over Wikipedia’s “List of stop-motion films” and do what I could to create a list of stop-motion feature-length films that might be worth a watch and that you haven’t constantly heard animation brats cream themselves over. Obviously, this list is not perfect, it’s mostly based off of the films I was able to find generally high reviews for on Letterboxd, but this list will contain nothing from Aardman, nothing from Laika, nothing from Wes Anderson, Tim Burton, or Henry Selick, but will contain at least a handful of things you haven't heard constant chatter about. These films are also fully stop-motion, so nothing from Ray Harryhausen or Jan Švankmajer either. Oh, and no shorts or television, obviously.

I will go ahead and put the following eight as films that aren't as frequently referenced in "best stop-motion films of all time" articles, but will find their ways into conversations about stop-motion without much difficulty;

René Laloux's "Fantastic Planet" (1973)

Will Vinton's "The Adventures of Mark Twain" (1985)

Adam Elliot's "Mary and Max" (2009)

Charlie Kaufman & Duke Johnson "Anomalisa" (2015)

Claude Barras's "My Life as a Zucchini" (2016) [French]

Phil Tippett's "Mad God" (2021)

Dean Fleischer Camp's "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On" (2021)

Guillermo del Toro's "Pinocchio" (2022)

If you haven't seen those eight, I'd take care of that first. Now, we hit other stuff.

Lotte Reiniger's "The Adventures of Prince Achmed" (1926) [German]

Wladyslaw Starewicz & Irene Starewicz "The Tale of the Fox" (1937) [French]

Ivo Caprino's "The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix" (1975) [Norwegian]

Piotr Kamler's "Chronopolis" (1982) [French]

Chris Taylor & Mark Hall's "The Wind in the Willows" (1983)

Dave Borthwick's "The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb" (1993)

Stanislav M. Sokolov & Derek W. Hayes's "The Miracle Maker" (2000)

Christiane Cegavske's "Blood Tea and Red String" (2006)

Jan Balej's "One Night in One City" (2007) [Czech]

Stéphane Aubier & Vincent Patar's "A Town Called Panic" (2009) [French]

Fernando Cortizo's "The Apostle" (2012) [Spanish]

Chris Sullivan's "Consuming Spirits" (2012)

Paul Cowan & Amer Shomali "The Wanted 18" (2014)

Jan Balej's "Little from the Fish Shop" (2015) [Czech]

Takahide Hori's "Junk Head" (2017) [Japanese]

Michael Mort's "Chuck Steel: Night of the Trampires" (2018)

Cristóbal León & Joaquín Cociña's "The Wolf House" (2018) [Spanish]

Paloma Baeza Niki, Lindroth von Bahr, Emma De Swaef, & Marc James Roels's "The House" (2022)

That's what I've got for the time being. If you can recommend a feature-length, majority stop-motion film that's not Aardman, Laika, Wes, Burton, or Selick, I'd be more than happy to look it over and see about adding it to the list. Enjoy.

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more …

1890 – in Germany, Dr. Erwin Gohrbandt studied medicine at the Military Medical Academy and graduated in 1917 then worked at the Charité Universitätsmediz inBerlin. He did the initial operations on the first two transsexuals in modern surgery.

In Berlin in 1931, Dora R, born as Rudolph R, became the first known transgender woman to undergo vaginoplasty. According to Dr. Felix Abraham, a psychiatrist working at the Institute for Sexual Science where Dora was employed as a domestic servant, her first step to feminization was made by means of castration in 1922. In 1931 a penis amputation was done, then a highly experimental vaginoplasty was performed by Dr. Erwin Gohrbandt who later became a decorated surgeon-general in the Luftwaffe.

1984 – Brian Joubert is a French figure skater. He is the 2007 World Champion, a three-time European champion (2004, 2007 & 2009), a six-time French National champion, and the 2006 Grand Prix champion.

Joubert was born in Poitiers, France to Jean-Michel and Raymonde Joubert. He suffered a life-threatening illness at the age of 11 months, which led to the removal of one kidney. Because of this illness, Joubert chose figure skating over more violent sports that he favored. He began skating at the age of four with his two older sisters. The siblings started out with Ice dancing, but Joubert became fascinated with the jumping aspect of singles skating and switched disciplines.

Joubert has been considered somewhat of a heartthrob in his native country, France. This reputation has been contributed to by Joubert's short relationship with former Miss France, Lætitia Bléger. He later brought a lawsuit against Bléger for 40,000 Euros for insinuating that he was homosexual and that their relationship was arranged to hide this. Bléger and two magazines that published her allegations were ordered by a French court to pay a total of 17,000 Euros, and to publish the court ruling in one of the two magazines.

1958 – The New York chapter of Daughters Of Bilitis is formed by a group of Lesbians which includes the late Barbara Gittings. For a time, Daughters of Bilitis and The Mattachine Society joined together in "Common Cause". Some women even wrote for Mattachine's ONE Magazine.

As the women's movement began to grow in the U.S., it became apparent that the men of Mattachine showed little desire to champion women's issues. At the same time, the women's movement was not particularly welcoming. The National Organization for Women (N.O.W.) was afraid that Lesbian involvement would only bring further hostility from the media and a male dominated world. They called Lesbians "the lavender menace" and sought to eject them from the movement.

With such choices, the direction of the Daughters of Bilitis was split. Some members favored focusing their energies on Gay rights, while others favored women's issues. Just before the 1970 National Conference of D.O.B., the publishing group for The Ladder was secretly moved to another location and devoted itself to feminist issues instead of Gay issues. The group never really recovered after this, and in time the individual chapters began to die out.

1966 – An Alabama appellate court says that a sodomy case reminded them of "the savage horror practiced by the dwellers of ancient Sodom from which this crime was nominally derived."

1996 – Saudi Arabia: Twenty-four Filipino workers receive the first 50 lashes of their 200-lash sentence for alleged "homosexual behavior." Despite protests from Amnesty International, the government goes ahead with the sentence and later deports the workers.

2011 – The military’s Don't Ask Don't Tell policy is officially repealed. It had been in effect since 1993.

Do you have any more weird moments in F1 history?

This one is courtesy of my Dad as I was not around when this happened in 1993.

This is about Senna’s $1million a race contract (which is about $1,989,647 today)

McLaren were in a weird place in 1993, Honda had pulled out at the end of the previous year and McLaren had to purchase engines from Ford-Cosworth.

Ayrton Senna was hesitant to sign the contract for the 1993 season, and Ron Dennis offered him a $5 million contract (which was less than what he was on previously), and Ayrton agreed but only signed for the first 5 races of the season.

He stipulated that the $1 million per race had to be in his bank account by the Wednesday of the race week, and said that he would not come if it wasn’t.

This was 1993, banking wasn’t as efficient as it is now and at the 4th race of the season, the money was late arriving into Senna’s bank account, so he told the team he wasn’t going to race. The money appeared in his bank account early Thursday morning and Ayrton arrived in Imola halfway through practice on Friday.

They agreed to run the rest of the season this way, with Senna requiring the $1 million in his bank account by Wednesday, with some leeway if it arrived on Thursday.

Then there was the second issue, Senna was set to fly from São Paulo to the French Grand Prix, the money didn’t arrive but McLaren had been informed that Senna was already on the plane, however Ron Dennis got a phone call an hour after the plane departed, from Senna himself stating that he was still in Brazil.

He had asked the captain to stop in Rio, and he got off the plane and told Ron Dennis that he wouldn’t get on the flight until they could confirm that the money was in his account.

[formu1a-racing-101]

Formula 101

Are you interested in Formula One? But you have no idea how it works? That's fine! This is a tricky sport after all and way more complex than one may think at first. So let's start with the basics.

#1 Constructors

In every season there are 10 constructor teams, consisting of two main drivers. Every team has a Team Principal, like Christian Horner for Red Bull or Zac Brown for McLaren. There are, of course, managers that are in charge of supervising and guiding. Race engineers who manage the races on the track and communicate with the drivers. There're many types like data, strategy... R&D Engineers that research and develop new car improvements. The designers, well, the name speaks for itself, they design and redesign the car in and out. Aerodynamicists are in charge of the correct functioning of the car's aerodynamics. Race mechanics are a godsend, if someone crashes during the free practices, they fix it. Most of the time.

With that out of the way, what are the names of the F1 teams?

Scuderia Ferrari

Red Bull Racing

Mercedes

Alpine

McLaren

Alfa Romeo

Haas

AlphaTauri

Aston Martin

Williams

#2 Drivers

Every team has two main drivers, so there should be 20 drivers in total. But that's not always the case. In case of an emergency, there are reserve drivers that will take their seats for one or the number of races necessary. These reserve drivers tend to be F2 drivers or sometimes F1 drivers, like George Russel for Mercedes in 2021 as he drove for Williams, and work for more than one team in the hopes of landing a seat.

This season's drivers are as follows:

Ferrari: Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz

McLaren: Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris

Red Bull Racing: Max Verstappen and Sergio "Checo" Pérez

Mercedes: Lewis Hamilton and George Russell

Alpine: Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon

Alfa Romeo: Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu

Haas: Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher

AlphaTauri: Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda

Aston Martin: Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll

Williams: Alex Albon and Nicholas Latifi

#3 Tracks

At the beginning of the year, F1 was supposed to run on 23 tracks but due to Russia's situation, its GP was removed from the 2022 calendar. F1 currently races on 22 different tracks all around the world throughout the season. The location of the Grand Prix can vary through the years. Take the France GP which hasn't been raced in the last decade until this season, as an example, or the South African Grand Prix which hasn't been held since 1993.

This year's (2022) calendar is:

Bahrain Grand Prix

Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

Australian Grand Prix

Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

Miami Grand Prix

Spanish Grand Prix

Monaco Grand Prix

Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Canadian Grand Prix

British Grand Prix

Austrian Grand Prix

French Grand Prix

Hungarian Grand Prix

Belgian Grand Prix

Dutch Grand Prix

Italian Grand Prix

Russian Grand Prix

Singapore Grand Prix

Japanese Grand Prix

United States Grand Prix

Mexican Grand Prix

Brazilian Grand Prix

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali reported via Sport bild that "There will be no more racing in Russia."

#4 Points

Points are earned by finishing the race in the top 10. The amount of points each driver receives depends on their position. The first place is awarded 25 points, the second place 18, and the third with 15 points. (4th= 12 pts, 5th= 10 pts, 6th= 8pts, 7th= 6 pts, 8th= 6 pts, 9th= 2 pts and 10th= 1 pt) One additional point is given to the driver with the fastest lap, as long as they finished inside the top 10.

In the case of a sprint, drivers can receive more points outside of the race. This time tho, only the top 8 will be awarded. The first place with 8 points, the second 7 and the third with 6, and so on until it reaches 1 point in the eighth place.

All these points are added together and at the end of the season, the driver with a bigger sum will win the drivers' championship.

For the constructors' championship, the points of their respective drivers will be added together and the team with the most points wins.

September 15th 2007 saw the tragic death of Scottish  world rally champion, his son Johnny, the boy’s friend Ben Porcelli and Graeme Duncan, when his helicopter came down near McRae’s home in Lanark.

Born on 5th August 1968 in Lanark, McRae was part of a racing family from the start alongside future rally driving brother Alastair McRae. As the son of rally legend Jimmy McRae, Colin got involved in autotesting from the age of 16 and quickly excelled on rough surfaces.

1986 saw the young star behind the wheel of a Talbot Sunbeam in the Scottish Rally Championship, and two years later he claimed the championship title after beating off competition in his rally-prepared Vauxhall Nova. After upgrading to a Ford Sierra XR 4x4i and latterly a Sierra Cosworth, McRae stunned crowds at the 1987 Rally New Zealand by finishing 5th in the heavy, rear-wheel drive coupe in a field dominated by grippier four-wheel-drive machines.

Only four years later, McRae turned professional and started a world-famous association with the Prodrive rally team and their blue-and-gold Subaru Impreza WRC cars. As a curious aside in 1992, McRae also competed for Prodrive in a BMW 3-series coupe at the Knockhill round of the British Touring Car Championship, where he was disqualified for causing an avoidable collision with fellow racer Matt Neal.”

The Scot’s first professional World Rally Championship win came in 1993 at Rally New Zealand where he had shocked crowds in the Ford before. McRae by this point was reaching the peak of his career, with an out-an-out duel with world champion teammate Carlos Sainz seeing McRae crowned as World Rally Champion for 1995.

Subsequent seasons saw him fail to better his second place, and he completed a move to rivals Ford in 1999.

At Ford, McRae’s rapid pace and flamboyant driving style remained while the American company paid him approximately six million pounds over two years; making him the highest-paid rally driver in history at the time. Reliability issues with the Ford Focus WRC - and McRae’s penchant for rally-ending flips and crashes - meant that he would again finish fourth in 2000 and second in 2001, behind Finn Tommi Makkinen and fellow Brit Richard Burns.

Eventually, McRae’s contract with Ford expired at the end of 2002 and the Scot made the move to up-and-coming hopefuls Citroen. Alongside former teammate Carlos Sainz and then-rookie Sebastian Loeb, McRae secured a second-place finish on that year’s Monte Carlo rally, which was to be his highest rally finish for the remainder of that season where he finished seventh in the championship rankings.

After being let go by the French outfit due to 2004 rule changes that reduced the number of championship drivers in a team from 3 to 2, McRae was left without a drive for the new season. It was in this year that he decided to try out different forms of motorsport, with an entry into the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race with a Prodrive-entered Ferrari 550-GTS Maranello rewarding him with a third place podium spot in his class and ninth place finish overall. McRae would also enter the Dakar Rally event in latter years and even make a surprise return to the WRC in a semi-works team Citroen Xsara in 2006 after Loeb had broken his hand.

McRae’s unexpected death in September 2007 came not behind the wheel of a car but in a helicopter accident which also took the lives of his son and family friends. Reacting to the news of his death, close friend and then F1 racer David Coulthard said: “He was fearless, flamboyant, [and] blindingly quick in the car. He had all the good Scottish traits.”

Coulthard then opted to race the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix with a commemorative helmet design to honour the Lanark icon, as seen in the pics.

Since the death of Colin McRae, the Colin McRae Forest Stages Rally has been run in Perth since 2008 and attracted big-name rally stars such as Ari Vatanen, Stig Blomqvist, Travis Pastrana and Colin’s father, Jimmy McRae. McRae is frequently cited as one of the most exciting and talented drivers by spectators, thanks to his fluid driving style which often saw the car pitched sideways through corners.

Jean-Pierre Jabouille: First Renault driver to win a Formula 1 grand prix dies aged 80

Jean-Pierre Jabouille, right, with Renault team-mate Rene Arnoux at the 1979 French Grand Prix, where he earned Renault's first victory in Formula 1 Former Grand Prix driver Jean-Pierre Jabouille, the man who took Renault's first Formula 1 win, has died aged 80. The Frenchman was a key part of Renault's 1977 entry into Formula 1 - and they were the first manufacturer to use a turbocharged engine. Jabouille took Renault's maiden win in the 1979 French Grand Prix. His final victory came in Austria in 1980, but his career was ended later that year when he broke a leg in a crash in Canada. He had been in any case due to leave the Renault team because his seat had been taken by rising star Alain Prost for 1981. Jabouille tried to return with the Talbot Ligier team, but was clearly unfit and retired as a driver after failing to qualify for two of his four attempts. The Alpine team, owned by Renault, said in a statement that it was "incredibly saddened" by Jabouille's death. "A humble racing driver, brilliant engineer and a pioneer of our sport. Jean-Pierre was a true racer. "He spearheaded Renault's journey into F1 in 1977 with his resilient and dare-to-do attitude. He was Renault's first Grand Prix winner in 1979, a landmark moment in Renault's journey in Formula 1. "His determination and dedication to succeed inspired many, and these values remain central to the current team in its now blue colours of Alpine. "We are where we are today because of Jean-Pierre and his legacy lives on." Jabouille, an engineer by trade, joined the Renault F1 project from its start to help develop its new turbo engine. At the time, F1 was dominated by naturally aspirated three-litre V8s but Renault was the first to see the potential of an equivalence formula that permitted the use of 1.5-litre turbos. Initially, the car was a laughing stock, dubbed the "yellow teapot" by British rivals because of its poor reliability. But the engine was immediately more powerful than the V8s used by other teams. Assiduous work improved the engine's reliability and, by 1979, the team also had a competitive chassis. Their maiden victory could not have come in more ideal circumstances for a team representing France's national car company: it came on home soil at Dijon-Prenois, with a French driver in a French car with a French engine using French Michelin tyres. Jabouille in the Renault F1 car at the 1979 US Grand Prix The sadness for both Jabouille and Renault is that the race was destined to be more famous for the gripping racing between his team-mate Rene Arnoux and Ferrari's Gilles Villeneuve for second place. One of the greatest duels in F1 history was eventually settled in Villeneuve's favour after a final few laps marked by improbable overtaking moves, regular position swaps, off-track moments and wheel-banging incidents. Jabouille had earlier in the season taken the team's first pole position, aided by the high altitude at the South African Grand Prix at Kyalami, and he took two further poles that year in Germany and Italy, although poor reliability prevented any further wins. In 1980, Jabouille took two more poles along with his win in Austria, while Arnoux won twice in South Africa and Brazil. After his retirement from F1, Jabouille was briefly a manager at the Ligier team, before stepping away. He returned as head of the ill-fated Peugeot engine programme in the 1990s. Peugeot, fresh from winning Le Mans in 1993, joined forces with McLaren for 1994, but the relationship was a tense one and it ended early - after just one season of poor performance and reliability. Peugeot switched to Jordan from 1995-97 and then to Prost's team from 1998 before withdrawing at the end of 2000. via BBC Sport - Formula 1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/

"philadelphia" review

philadelphia  - 1993

directed by: joanthan demme

cast: tom hanks, denzel washington

i had been wanting to watch „philadelphia“ for the longest time, as an admirer of tom hanks’ career. of the two oscars he has won, i feel like one of the two roles gets talked about more than the other. and honestly, „philadelphia“ deserves (at least) as much space in your memories as „forrest gump“.

here, tom hanks is andrew beckett, a successful seropositive lawyer, fighting against AIDS discrimination alongside a homophobic colleague. he will have to put his beliefs aside to fight for justice and do what’s right. he will also learn that it’s okay and inoffensive to touch a gay seropositive man.

“Philadelphia” is incredibly powerful, on many, many levels. first, it reflects the heavy homophobia the 1980’s was filled with. and when you consider the context of it’s release, a film like this one is incredibly earth shaking, as much for queer people (who must’ve rarely or never had a chance of seeing someone like them in the media) than everyone else. it felt so real, it almost made me sick. it’s understandable that the film could be difficult to watch for some.

tom hanks delivers (one of) his finest performances I have ever seen. I get goosebumps just thinking about some scenes … this role is not to be taken lightly, but he embraces the audacity of this choice by doing a fantastic job at portraying andrew beckett. the chemistry he has with denzel Washington seals the entire story together and it’s great to see. the oscar win is very well deserved.

“philadephia” is so heartwarming, yet sad … such a hopeful yet disheartening movie. the best I could say is that it is a deeply touching story. during the whole film I couldn’t help but think about “it’s just the end of the world”, a play by late french playwright jean-luc lagarce (it has been adapted into a film in 2016, by xavier dolan, and earned the Grand Prix at the cannes film festival). both express that sense of numbness and agitation that comes with mourning yourself – because it is, in a way, doing that. the play is also deeply affecting and I loved seeing connections in art, even though I don’t think this play and “Philadelphia” are related in any way. this film may not have been the most brilliant I have seen, directing-wise, but i did not mind it at all. “Philadelphia” is too strong, too moving, and, sadly, too reflective of a past society for this. it definitely deserves some flowers. I have read, somewhere, that films don’t change the world but react to the changes of the world. I love that and I believe this represents the scope of “Philadelphia” quite well.

my rating : 9/10 (seen on jan 21st; 2023)

Ok favourite moments of doing the Prosenna Podium project (because I can't believe it's nearly over):

1991 italian grand prix, ayrton and alain speaking fluent italian in the press conference while nigel literally naps in between them

1988 canadian grand prix, the ~iconic~ hat knock off and the water bottle sharing uwu

1988 suzuka offscreen hug. honestly. what. i died.

1989 imola champagne problems (a cute moment of levity amongst the drama!)

1985 belgian grand prix because I'd never seen any footage before

Watching the random third person on the podium during 1989-1993 get A LOT of attention/champagne spray while The Idiots pointedly ignore each other

Did you know alain was on the podium at the french grand prix 11 times! (out of the 13 races he had there!) I just think that is tres sexie

The whole process of relearning how to make gifs! it's been a wild ride.

Least favourite things - no footage of them laughing at monaco 86 (i’ve seen the photos! i know it happened!), only very poor footage of adelaide 88, the tv director CONSTANTLY cutting to the crowd in adelaide 93 (man there is history happening on this podium and you want to show me some 1993 random australian man waving. i will cut you)

I hope you guys have enjoyed this ~journey~ as much as I have 💖✌

1993 BRITISH GRAND PRIX:

             “Alex—”

             There’s no response from the young Finn as he storms through the garage, even though he knows fully well his teammate is giving chase behind him.

             “Alex, please, can I talk to you?”

             Still, he marches on resolutely, the trophy for third place hanging lamely from his left hand. The mechanics and staff part like the Red Sea for Alex, because they all know better than to get in his way when he’s in a bad mood.

             “Alex, don’t do this, please listen—”

             Alex suddenly stops in his tracks and whirls around to face Ollie, almost bumping into the Scotsman in the process. His eyes are incandescent with rage, and if looks could kill, Ollie would be dead a thousand times over in that moment. In the public eye, Alex has acquired quite a reputation for being stony-faced and even emotionless, but right now, there’s pure fury in his scowl. His face dares his teammate to say anything that could salvage this situation (spoiler alert: there isn’t.)

             Ollie takes a deep breath—suddenly, the words have left him in the face of Alex’s anger. “I just wanted to say—I’m sorry, that was—”

             “You’re sorry?” Poison drips from Alex’s every word. By this point, the garage has almost emptied, except for the two embattled teammates. “You take me off in the first corner, make me start from the back of the grid, let Ferrari win today, and you’re sorry? Why are you sorry? It’s not your championship!”

             It occurs to Ollie that he doesn’t like this version of Alex. It’s hard to believe that this is the same Alex he’d woken up next to earlier this morning, all smiles and mumbled words of affection in French. This Alex is half-human, half-demon, blinded by his singular ambition to clinch the championship. “Of course I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose!”

             “No, of course not!” Alex shoves Ollie backwards, practically growling at this point. “You’re jealous? You wish you were fighting for the championship, not me? You think I don’t know? You’re always complaining the team favors me over you! Maybe it’s because I know how to not crash into my fucking teammate!”

             “Alex—” Ollie puts his hands up, trying to soothe his usually frosty teammate.

             “No! You listen! This is low, even for you!” The trophy in Alex’s hand goes flying and crash-lands in a heap of broken glass on the floor. “You will never be world champion! You’re the fucking number two driver, so just accept it! If I lose this championship because of you, you’re a fucking dead man!” The threat of violence, which has been there all along, finally bubbles over when Alex throws a punch at Ollie.

             His fist makes contact with Ollie’s cheek, the latter not having expected that (but then again, knowing Alex’s history, that was probably naïve.) The thud practically echoes around the deserted garage, and then, like a magic trick, the mechanics pour through the doors to separate the two young men.

             “Vittu!” Alex swears, before unleashing a torrent of profanity in both Finnish and French that Ollie considers himself lucky to not understand. His mechanics have to all but drag him away, but Ollie just stands there, more shell-shocked than anything else.

             “Are you all right?” One of the mechanics’ questions snaps Ollie out of his daze. He swipes his hand across his face to find a small trickle of blood running out of the corner of his mouth.

             “Yeah.” He murmurs, eyes fixed on the door that had shut behind Alex. The atmosphere in the garage has turned decidedly sour; no one knows what to make of Alex’s not-so-subtle threat.

             “What an idiot.” Someone mumbles, surveying the wreck of what was Alex’s trophy. “Come on, let’s get you to the medical tent.” As Ollie is ushered away, he can’t help but think that Alex’s words sting more than the punch itself.

ONE WEEK EARLIER, MAGNY-COURS, FRANCE:

             “Alex.” Ollie runs his hand through Alex’s blond curls affectionately. In the morning sunlight, he looks almost angelic. “I’ve gotta go back to my room before anyone notices. I’ll see you later at the track, okay?”

             “Mitä?” He mumbles, only half-awake. “You’re so warm… don’t go.” Eyes still closed, he reaches out to grab Ollie’s arm to stop him from leaving. What resolve the Scotsman had to leave is quickly drained away in the face of Alex’s insistence.

             Ollie continues to stroke Alex’s hair, and the little sigh of satisfaction from the latter is enough to fill his heart to the brim. I think I love you, he thinks to himself, but he knows better than to say as much to Alex. To Alex, love may as well be a foreign concept, a fact which Ollie is fully aware of. This is never going to work; sneaking around behind the backs of the team, their girlfriends, the whole world. But in that blissful moment, none of the talk about the future matters, Ollie tells himself.

            He rests his head back on top of Alex’s. The future can wait.
