“Losing Anthoine brings me back to 2005, my first ever French championship. There was him, Esteban, Pierre and myself. We were four kids dreaming of Formula One.” ~Charles
three gp winners and another who lives on in our hearts
It’s been an emotional day… 😭😂
Seriously though, this was about more than just the result.
It may not seem like much on the surface, but so much work went into it.
Through all the tough moments and near-misses, we never stopped believing.
Proud of this team. Every day.

Summary: Your mother asks how your relationship is

66. “He feels like home.”
"Well? How's your relationship?" your mother asks you both once you got comfortable on the couch. You look at Max. He was blushing hard and you were sure you were the same.
How is your relationship?
It’s a healthy loving relationship that you think is sustainable for the long run. You do have your crazy moments and you do occasionally fight, but that’s normal.
Being in love is one thing but it takes a lot to keep that commitment to sustain that love in the long run from two individuals in a love relationship.
The basis of any serious relationship should be respect, trust, honesty, and loyalty.
Looks are not everything irrespective of gender.
In the long run, what matters is the personality and compatibility between two individuals.
The fundamental thing about him is he gets you. He knows exactly what you are and has chosen to spend the rest of his life with you. Just like any other individual, you have certain traits, characteristics, and quirks that can be kind of annoying to people. For some reason, he doesn't find those things annoying.
Your laziness on some matters does drive him kind of crazy and you are not a fan of his obsession with ensuring everything is in order. That tends to be the source of your fights. You always make up within a couple of hours, so things are going to be fine in the future. You share many core values about life and you are both mature to know that everything's meant to be broken so you don't make a fuss about little things like kids.
Not to get too sappy, but you miss him a lot when he travels for the races. You can't always attend them because of your work schedule and when you two are apart, it feels like hell. He has to call you to make sure you ate because you would feel too miserable without him and you would just stay in bed all day. Waking up next to him, getting a morning kiss, hugging him before you leave to work, messing around with him is just a little bonus when you are both in Monaco. You don't think you've ever felt this way about a man before.
Even though being in a relationship means you’re a “we,” you’re still encouraged to embrace all the things that make you, you. Not only should you be yourself—you should be the best version of yourself. In a healthy relationship, your partner will accept you exactly the way you are. They’ll never try to make you into someone or something you aren’t. And he did push you to become your best self. You saw him train every day and you went too and started training with him every day. You started eating healthy with him. Sure, you were still a little lazy, but who wasn't?
When two parties are willing to work together in order to maintain a healthy relationship, there is little that can happen to ruin that relationship. There are many qualities and factors that contribute to a healthy and long-lasting relationship. Namely, these are: communication, respect, and support. Without these, a friendship is destined to crash and burn.
Starting a fresh relationship with someone is always fun and interesting. They might teach you new things throughout time and also bring out new things about yourself that you probably didn’t know. Meeting someone new brings high hopes. It is always a good feeling knowing that person has the same interest in you as you do for them. A person might come into your life while you are going through something stressful, so that person can turn into an escape from all the drama going on in your life. Causing that person to mean a lot to you in a short period of time. This can be both, good and bad.
When you two met, thanks to your mutual friend Pierre, you didn't look for a boyfriend. You just ended a relationship that, after a year, had become toxic. Max had been alone for some time and wanted to find someone, and when he saw you, he knew he had to do everything in his power to get to know you and accept a date from him. And you did. Because, nobody knew that, but you had a crush on Max and you were incredibly happy when Pierre told you he would introduce you. He felt like home from the first moment.
“It's really great!" you answer your mother and touch Max's hand. "He feels like home.”
Your mother seemed delighted with your answer and smiled at you. You looked at Max and he kissed you on the forehead quickly.
