TO SAY YOU WERE SHOCKED was an understatement.
your boyfriend had made no indication that he was learning your home language, just like you made no indication that you were learning his.
“why didn’t you tell me you were learning it? I have to find out through twitter?” you asked, your voice filled with amusement as you sat across from charles.
“ok, for one, I wanted it to be a surprise so that I could communicate better with your family, and two, you didn’t tell me you were learning french.” he responded with a large smile on his face.
“alright let’s hear it, tell me a sentence.” you asked him, leaning back in your chair with a grin on your face as he let out a chuckle.
“sen benim hayatımın aşkısın ve seninle evlenmek için sabırsızlanıyorum.” charles said confidently, a smirk on his face as he looked at your reaction to his words. “you are the love of my life and I can’t wait to marry you.”
“baby, do you really mean that?” you asked, shocked at his statement and his perfect pronunciation. “tu veux vraiment t'épouser?” you asked shyly. “you really wanna marry me?”
“yes baby, of course. it’s why i am learning, so that i can communicate with you in a language you’re more comfortable with, and also so that I can talk to your family better.” he smiled, “and can I just say your french is very good.” he told you, taking your hand in his and kissing your knuckles.
“thank you my love, and your turkish is so good, you pronounced everything so well.” you told him happily.

ice cream? (OP81 x LS2)
oscar takes logan out for a happy little day-out.
Life is hard. That’s an understatement for Logan. Everything goes wrong for him, every turn is an unlucky one and every choice is the wrong one. Well every choice but one.

Life is hard. That’s an understatement for Logan. Everything goes wrong for him, every turn is an unlucky one and every choice is the wrong one.
Well every choice but one.
-----
“Logan!” Oscar says as jogs over, giving Logan a solid smack on the back.
Logan almost falls over, stumbling forward a few steps.
“Hey Oscar.” Logan says as he regains his balance.
“What’s up!” Oscar swings his arm over Logan’s shoulder and tugs him closer. Oscar had always been reserved but his love for physical touch was something different.
Logan places his arm over Oscar’s shoulder too.
“It’s been a hectic week.” Logan sighs.
“Oh…” Oscar lowers his energy level slightly, “Well… it is what it is…?” Oscar hesitates finishing the sentence.
Obviously this comes out without a filter and Oscar almost regrets what he’s saying.
Logan lets out a soft chuckle. He could never be mad at Oscar.
“Hope your week went better.” Logan says. Oscar pouts slightly.
“Now I feel bad.” Oscar says.
“You don’t need-” Logan says but Oscar doesn’t give him a chance to finish his sentence.
“Let’s go for some ice cream!” Oscar excitedly says and he doesn’t really give Logan a choice before pulling him.
Logan doesn’t resist, letting Oscar pull him along.
------
Oscar eventually finds an ice cream stand and pulls Logan to his side.
“C’mon pick one. Any one. I’ll pay.” Oscar energetically says as he points to the choices.
“Uhm… I don’t-” Logan says.
“Nope! Pick one!” Oscar interrupts.
“Really?” Logan asks.
Oscar nods intensely.
“Okay alright…” Logan scans through the choices, “Mint chocolate chip?”
“Predictable.” Oscar says before blowing a raspberry.
Logan rolls his eyes and punches Oscar’s shoulder.
“One mint chocolate chip and… one vanilla.” Oscar says to the ice cream man.
They get their ice cream and Oscar gives Logan his cone.
“There we go!” Oscar says and starts licking his ice cream.
Logan does so too and both of them walk back to the paddock.
“So… feel better?” Oscar asks and Logan nods.
Oscar jumps for joy and wants to hug Logan before he realises that they’re still holding their ice creams.
“Lemme try some of yours!” Oscar says and licks a bit of Logan’s ice cream.
Logan returns the favour by licking Oscar’s one.
------
They make it back to the paddock and Oscar fake yawns, “Logieeeee can you finish your ice cream.”
“I am about to.” Logan says before eating the final biscuit of his cone.
The moment Logan chews the last biscuit, Oscar dives straight in for a hug. Logan gets taken aback but hugs back anyway.
“Feel better?” Oscar asks.
Logan nods and hugs Oscar tighter.
“Ice cream next week too?” Oscar says.
“Of course…” Logan replies
They continue hugging for about a few minutes before they both walk back to their respective garages. They won’t forget this, ever.

Recap of the Adrian Newey Rumors:
Approximately two weeks after the Horner scandal broke, rumors that Newey was not happy with the investigation and behavior internally broke. At the time, many speculated that he would finish out his contract, and then potentially go wherever Max goes.
Four Weeks ago, Aston Martin was rumored to have put 100 million dollars over four years on the table in an attempt to poach him.
Somewhere around the same time, Newey was seen landing in Italy, relatively close to Maranello. At the time it was waived away as him racing some cars, which he did, but there's this concept you see a lot in politics, where a candidate isn't "campaigning" they're in the area for a trip and happen to stop off to give a speech to unions or farmers. Newey very well could have done the same.
Two weeks ago, it was rumored for the first time that Newey's discontent was two-fold, the first being Horner, the second being that he was being pushed to focus on 2025, not just 2026, and that was significantly impairing him.
This morning, (25/4 - 4/25) it breaks in the German Auto Motor Und Sport, which is the German syndicate that has had a bead on all thing Red Bull for years, that Adrian Newey has officially declared his intention to leave. Ideally it would be at the end of 2024, before his contract is technically up.
Several news platforms cite to this article with the term "report" so as not to have to backtrack if wrong.
Then, two hours ago, BBC Sport drops their article, the first to be an official claim. They claim to have verified with "independent high level sources close to Red Bull and Newey."
This immediately gets traction from sports reporters like Adam Stern and others. Which likely pushes Motorsport, who has never liked to post anything without a source, to finally publish.
An hour ago, Motorsport published the following "The news of Newey's impending departure was first reported by German outlet Auto Motor und Sport and has since been confirmed to Motorsport.com by sources with knowledge of the situation."
Fine. Game on. Motorsport doesn't indicate how high up these people are, but whoever these sources are, they're either the same as the BBC, or this really truly out there.
Then within seconds, Autosport is launching the same statement, "The news of Newey's impending departure was first reported by German outlet Auto Motor und Sport and since been confirmed to Autosport by sources with knowledge of the situation."
This is because it is the same authors, as a reminder these days a lot of sports editors especially, freelance.
Ok so he's going right?
Well, approximately 15 minutes ago, Planet F1 states that a Red Bull spokesperson tells them that "Adrian is contracted until at least the end of 2025. We are unaware of him joining any other team."
But then again, this was the same thing that went down with Lewis when he moved to Ferrari.
So here are my thoughts:
I don't know if Adrian is leaving, but the threat of him going is probably enough to send Red Bull upper management into a panic. Stock holders love Max, but they know that Adrian is the brains behind the car. If he goes somewhere else, they're not going to be as competitive. So likely someone from his camp is leaking that he's got the contract, and very likely, he's going to go unless they can give him what he wants.
Whether or not that is time to work on 2026 or to get rid of Horner, I don't know.
If he does go, there is gardening leave. He won't be at any team in 2025 probably. But if he can design the 2026, and he can do it the way he wants, that might be enticing enough to take a year off.
If he isn't leaving, then someone in Red Bull is going on a mole hunt. And I wish them luck because the BBC and Motorsport aren't giving up their sources, so you better have known exactly who you told this to.
Game on.
