Little snippet of a Brocedes fanfic im tempted to write.
Nico did not care that he was commiting damage to the property, he needed answers that no one was giving and the calls that were going unanswered. The door gave way to his third bash from his shoulder, it ached so badly and he could hear Vivian barely calling his name.
He looked around the apartment and found it so bare.
Like no one had been living here at all.
Everything that had a home on the shelves and walls, all gone.
"Nico"
He scanned each room and found it all the same, everything was gone that had been there. Nico could feel his body going cold, Niki's words echoing through his skull.
No, he would not just give up this world.
This had been his dream
Scratched that, It had been their dream, together.
Them vs The world.
When did it change from that to fighting against each other.
Thats when he spotted it on the glass table on the living room. There sat a picture frame and a letter with his name in dark ink.
He slowly approached the glass table and picked up the photo frame.
A younger version of himself smiling looking up at a younger version of Lewis who had his arms wrapped around Nico's shoulders.
One word to describe the feeling of that photo.
Love.
He felt his hands begin to shake as he placed the photo frame down and lifted the letter and opened it. Nico could feel Vivian behind him a few steps, she had been silent the moment they had entered the living room.

On March 23rd, 2024, day 2 of the Australian Grand Prix was happening. There was continued backlash against Williams' decision to switch out Logan Sargeant for Alex Albon after Albon crashed his car the previous day. Sargeant was in the garage and showed professionalism concerning the situation.
But this situation has brought forth questions about parts allotment and what would happen if there were to be another unfixable Williams crash in the next few races.
Eight years prior, the GPDA was raising concerns over the direction of Formula One. In the letter, the GPDA directors urged F1 owners and stakeholders to rethink the governance structure. Though not explicitly named in the letter, it alluded to the GPDA's issues with then-owner Bernie Ecclestone.
(Letter Transcript)
Just hours after the open letter was published, it was announced that Sky would get the broadcasting rights to F1. For the first time in 40 years, F1's broadcast would be moved from live free-to-air television in the UK. The following day, the new qualifying system was adopted by FIA President Jean Todt despite it being abandoned by teams following their criticism of it at the first race of the 2016 season.
These were just two of the reasons that caused the drivers to pen this open letter. Other decision-making concerns included:
the double points for just the 2014 final race which was the title-deciding race between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg
the major flaws with the hybrid engine regulations that were just being addressed
proposal to introduce a cheaper alternative engine to run alongside the turbo hybrids, with an equivalence formula to balance performance
All of these decisions could be traced back to either Ecclestone or Todt. Most of these decisions were to either spice up the racing or get more money.
In response to the letter, Bernie Ecclestone called the F1 drivers windbags and essentially powerless in enacting change within the sport.
Windbags United is what the 2016 drivers' dinner picture was captioned and was a jab at Ecclestone. (The dinner in itself is something to discuss on its own with drama over who paid the bill.)
