A few weeks later, the teams and drivers arrived at the Autodromo do Estoril after the Japanese Grand Prix took place.
"So sweetie... Do you want to win this race as well?" Silverstream asks.
"What is that for a question?" Apple Lauda responds jokingly. "Of course I want to win..."
"We are glad you are yourself again Apple Lauda" Fernando Alonso says. "When I fought you back then, you were just a rookie, but yet you were astonishing"
"Thanks Fernando..." Apple Lauda replies.
"I will not make it easy for you Apple Lauda" Fluttershy says.
"Try me then Fluttershy... Come at me if you dare!!!" Apple Lauda says.
After the Qualifying, Ayrton Senna has taken pole position, Fluttershy starts from P2, Charles Leclerc in 3rd, Carlos Sainz in P4, Apple Lauda in P5, Fernando Alonso in P6, Rainbow Dash in P7, Lando Norris in P8, Sergio Perez in P9 and Logan Sargeant in P10. The second half of the grid is...
Starting from P11, it's Yuki Tsunoda, P12 is Max Verstappen, P13 is Lewis Hamilton, from P14, it's Daniel Ricciardo, in P15 is Alexander Albon, in P16 is Nico Hülkenberg, P17 is Kevin Magnussen, P18 Guanyu Zhou, P19, Spitfire after a component swap, P20 is Pierre Gasly, P21 is his teammate Esteban Ocon and in dead last, P22 is Valtteri Bottas.
5 red lights and the race is on, Fluttershy gets an perfect start but Leclerc, Sainz and Ayrton Senna are behind her as well. Apple Lauda however is really close to the pack in front of him and sees a gap in turn 5...
Rainbow Dash witnesses this crrazy maneuver of Apple Lauda as he goes through for P4 and now chases down Charles Leclerc.
"Sweet Celestia!!!" Rainbow Dash shouts. "That was a close one"
"Sweetie, you will not ma-" Silverstream says as she gets interrupted by Apple Lauda
"If you no longer go for a gap..." Apple Lauda says as he performs a massive divebomb on Carlos Sainz.
Silverstream sighs and chuckles. "You really can't let it be, do you?"
A few laps later, Spitfire pits but just in that moment, a safety car is triggered because of an crash between Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda
"Safety Car, Safety car is deployed" Mike Krack says.
"oh this is so perfect, I should fill a lottery ticket after the race" Spitfire jokes and laughs.
"Safety Car Ayrton, Safety Car deployed" Silverstream says.
"oh fucking hell... yeah now we have problems..." Ayrton says. "I can't really keep up with Fluttershy unless..." then, Ayrton gets the ultimate idea. "tell Apple Lauda he should drive the shit out of the car"
"wait what?!?!?!" Silverstream says in shock as Apple Lauda pits for mediums as the race has reached the halfway mark. 20 laps to go.
"trust me... he will go all out, now I want the mediums as well... these softs are dead" Ayrton says.
"this race is going as planned" Toto says.
"finally, no Rothmans in sight, and also I have the softs now available" Fluttershy says as she pits for fresher softs. But little does she know.... there will be both Rothmans cars being right behind her at the end of the safety car.
before the restart, Spitfire is now in the lead thanks to the perfectly timed pitstop. Fluttershy is in P2, Apple Lauda and Ayrton Senna are right behind her. Rainbow Dash is in P5 and is about to witness serious brute force done on the Mercedes and Aston Martin.
"let's get them Ayrton..." Apple Lauda says.
"you want to go to the inside or do you want me to give me the inside line?" Ayrton asks.
"I'll let you the inside line. Now I am hungry... hungry for a Mercedes and an Aston Martin" Apple Lauda says.
the restart takes palce as Spitfire, Fluttershy, Apple Lauda and Ayrton Senna blast towards turn 1. Ayrton takes the inside line and Apple Lauda goes for the outside line and Rainbow Dash is right behind them in the battle.
"this has now turned into a difficult situation" Rainbow Dash says as Apple Lauda and Ayrton Senna overtake Fluttershy.
"Oh shit!!!" Fluttershy says as the restart happens. "both Rothmans behind me.... oooohhh I don't know how to defend against both of them"
"Stay calm Fluttershy, you will not get over- WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!?!?" Toto shouts after he witnessed the insane maneuver from the Mercedes garage.
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY THINKING?!?!?!?!" Fluttershy yells. Rainbow Dash is about to overtake her as well but she manages to defend that position at least.
"that gap was tight!!!" Ayrton says.
"eh, it was not even close to contact anyways..." Apple Lauda says.
"are you crazy?!?!?! if Ayrton had done one wrong move with his hands, he would have knocked you and Fluttershy out!!!" Silverstream shouts.
a lap later, nothing has changed in the standings so far. Spitfire wins the Portugal GP.
"YEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!! WWWOOOOHOOOO!!!! YEEEEAAAHHH!!!! TAKE THAT APPLE LAUDA!!! TAKE THA-" Spitefire yells in victory but Apple Lauda comes across the line in P2 with the fastest lap in his hooves. "OH FOR FUCK SAKE APPPLE LAUDAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"
