Formula One OS (English/Français 🏎🇬🇧🇫🇷)

🇬🇧P.G./C.L. Not the Aus GP

So. You might know that there were e-races last weekend instead of the Australian Grand Prix, as there is tonight, and it inspired me! All of this shit is a weird period in human history and I really hope it will be over soon. I hope this OS will help you to pass time! Thank you f1stan for helping me translating this.

"This guy is a genius!"

"What?" I ask after hearing my boyfriend yelling in the living room.

"JEV. JEV is a fucking god." Continues Pierre when I fall on the sofa next to him. I saw he was active on Instagram but I haven't yet seen the photo he was looking at.

"Why? Did he posted a shirtless picture?" I roll my eyes when saying it, Pierre is very close to him in my point of view and it sometimes upsets me.

"No! I keep telling you he is not my type! Read this." He orders, showing me his phone.

"To all my fellow friends racing drivers who won't race in the next two months: should we creat an online championship and race?" I smile although 'the next two months' hurts. But it's for everyone's best and Jean Éric might just have found a way to make it go faster. "Ok. He is a genius." I hand Pierre's phone back to him while I take mine to reply a "I'm totally in!🏆🎮". By the time I finish writing, Pierre had commented "Let's do it!!🔥". I can't help but liked the comment before I notice my mistake.
"Et merde..."

Pierre laughs, having seen the like. "You know what you have to do now. Like every single drivers'comment so there won't be any suspicion."

"Come on, almost the whole FE grid said something!"

"If you don't like one, they will say you're angry at the driver. But it's your choice." He added with an angelic smile. I sigh and like the last 10 comments, deciding it was enough.

"Charles?" My boyfriend looks at me, his eyebrows in a position of a frown.

"Yeah?"

"The simulators."

"We have two, it's okay."

"But they are in the same room. We have to move one."

"Re-merde...."

After thirty minutes of struggling, we are finally back on the couch. I let my head falls on Pierre's shoulder and speak.

"We can't scream or it will be heard on the other camera."

"Oh yes... I hope there aren't any pictures of the two of us in the background. We will make sure of it before Sunday. Do you realise 24 hours ago we were still in Melbourne, not knowing whether or not we would race?"

"Yes... It all goes so quickly with so much impact... It scares me."

Pierre pulls me onto his lap and cups my head with his hands. "It will be okay. We are together. This will stop at some point."

He doesn't leave me the chance to reply and kisses me tenderly.

"Hello everyone ! Welcome to this Not The AUS GP, the first race of the No Races Championship ! First thanks to Veloce Esport for making it possible and thanks to every driver who agreed. There will be three ways to watch this race. For Veloce members, you can use a personnalised programme. You can, as well as watching the race itself, focus on three drivers' camera on a part of your screen. I remind you the subscription to this is $5 which go to the person who works on this feature. For the others on Twitch or YouTube, you will see the race and one driver's camera, selected by Veloce Esport, the same way as you would watch on board cameras in real races. Of course, the donations won't go to drivers but to a charity we will choose at the end of the race. You can make sugestions. Now I will do my best alongside Jack Nicholls, David Coulthard, Julien Febreau and presentator in general. I'm honoured to race against the nineteen best drivers in the world. André Lotterer, Antonio Felix da Costa, Stoffel Vandoorne, Sam Bird, Nyck de Vries, Oliver Rowland, Daniel Abt, Giedo Van der Garde, James Rossiter, Oliver Webb, Sacha Fenestraz, Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, Simon Pagenaud, Pierre Gasly, Lance Stroll, Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz and Nico Hülkenberg !"

There is a mess after, everyone greeting each other at the same time. We start racing and a few minutes later André says.

"Really JEV, you are the best!"

"I know, I know. I'm perfect."

"We are blessed to have you man!" Lando added and we laugh.

My eyes wander towards Pierre doing his qualifying lap and I stop breathing when I see the picture in the background, me kissing his cheek in front of the Liberty Statue during our trip to New York this winter. Hopefully it's baddly lit and I don't see any comments about it in the chat. But I doubt it will stay unseen during the whole livestream, I'd better remove it. But how? I've already done my lap and there are at least 10 drivers left. I say that I will take something to drink and as I stand up I hear Max telling me to take a Red Bull. I reply "Not in your dreams!" before exiting the room quickly. I take a deep breath and go to the kitchen take a Coca-Cola before forgetting. Okay. The easiest part is done. Now I just need to open our room's door, to crawl without being seen on the camera and put this picture down. Not a big deal huh? I thank my morning self for wearing a black sweatshirt. More than the look Pierre gave me when I exited the bathroom, it will be useful now. I open the door silently but Pierre looks at me. I put my finger on my lips ans usher him to look at the camera. He obeys, a very small frown on his face but I doubt anyone else than me will notice it. I lay on the floor and progress to the picture frame. I give a look at the livestream on Pierre's screen and hopefully YouTube and Twitch are showing Antonio doing his lap. The video then changes to Lando who is putting his valentino hat proudly. I heard Carlos yelling a "No! Don't do that cabrón!" which almost sends Antonio's car in the barriers. I smile, at least the attention isn't on us. I'm finally just above the frame and I stretch my arms when I hear Simon.

"What is Charles doing?"

I'm stopped in my movements, my heart beating too fast for my health. I now hear Nico's voice add "Yes he is taking so much time." Pierre laugh before commenting. "He surely went to pee but didn't want to say it to not ruin his model symbol." I don't wait any longer and pull the picture, face against the wood. I exit the room and send a text to Pierre explaining to him what happened (and a little middle finger for the model symbol) before I come back to my sim.

JEV is now a real commentator during André's lap and, after not seeing anything interesting on the chat, I take my phone and send a quick text to Pierre.

'I'm really too hot but I can't take my sweatshirt off!🥵'

My t-shirt belong to Pierre, with a big Red Bull logo on it. No. It really isn't a good idea to show it. I watch on the livestream how Pierre immediately looks at his screen and replies with a little smile.

'Of course you're hot babe🔥😏'

Okay. He really shouldn't send that when thousands of people are watching us. I give a quick glance at the chat, which seems to be on fire. Apparently Pierre is still on his phone and as we are both texting at the same time, people are imagining things. (Not that they are wrong. But still.) Just at this moment, my phone operator sends me a advert and I thank Orange for its involuntary help. Just before I show it to the camera, I receive another text.

'Why can't you take it off?"

The text isn't compromising but the contact name "My Pear❤" might be. I delete the notification before turning my phone to the webcam.

"Calm down guys, see, it's just..."

I'm stopped in my sentence when I see in horror a new notification appears on my screen. "My Pear❤: Oh yes you have my Red Bull shirt underneath.  Don't worry it's okay, this sweat looks good on you😏"

"He didn't do that..." I hear Pierre in the background but my mind stopped working. Jev, who had apparently seen it too, says "Okay guys. We learned that. But let them lead their lives. Now, let's race! I am on pole! I will kick your ass!"

After this, nobody talks about it except the chat and we race. My mind was away but we race.
