The final race of the season has arrived... Fluttershy is still seeking her home win at the Las Vegas GP. The teams and drivers prepare for the final race of the season. Apple Lauda walks over to Fluttershy.
"I have high expectations for you today. You may not have won the championship and neither do I, you still have the chance to win your home race" Apple Lauda says.
"Oh thank you Apple Lauda, this season has been quite the struggle but at around mid season, we came closer to your team" Fluttershy says.
"Apple Lauda, the race starts soon" Ayrton says.
Soon, everyone are lined up on the grid. Fluttershy takes pole position, Apple Lauda in P2, Ayrton Senna in P3, Max Verstappen in P4, Sergio Perez in P5, Lewis Hamilton in P6, Charles Leclerc in P7 Spitfire in P8, Rainbow Dash in P9, Fernando Alonso in P10, Lando Norris in P11, Alexander Albon in P12, Logan Sargeant in P13, Daniel Ricciardo in P14, Yuki Tsunoda in P15, Carlos Sainz in P16 after a component swap, in P17 it's Valtteri Bottas, in P18 Pierre Gasly, P19 is Esteban Ocon, P20 is Guanyu Zhou, P21 is Nico Hülkenberg and in last place is Kevin Magnussen.
As the lights go out, everyone hustle towards turn 1, but soon, things would go very wrong for Apple Lauda as he is caught up in chaos. He drops back down to last place. The race is only 18 laps long...
"ah fuck... yeah... I think I have damage, front wing..." Apple Lauda reports.
"copy that, box at the end of this lap" Silverstream says.
Meanwhile, Fluttershy is still in the lead, but gets hunted down by Ayrton Senna. On the Vegas strip, the two fight for the lead, racing down the super long straight at speeds of 360 km/h. Fluttershy however maintains her position, as Apple Lauda charges through the field after he pitted for a new front wing and hard tyres.
Apple Lauda takes one by one as Lewis Hamilton manages to overtake Ayrton Senna for P2. Apple Lauda is storming through the field now. He has recently overtaken Nico Hülkenberg who is in 8th place at the moment but is now 9th due to Apple Lauda's 370 km/h flyby on the Vegas strip. Soon, Apple Lauda catches up to Ayrton Senna, with the two Mercedes in front of him.
"oh shit, that's Apple Lauda cooking there" Fluttershy says.
"Box now, Fluttershy" Toto says
"Are you retarded?! He will get both of us!!!" Fluttershy complains.
"Trust me... I have a feeling something will go very wrong soon" Toto says.
and indeed things go wrong. Lance Stroll tries to overtake Apple Lauda at the left hander before the strip and hits the wall, his race is over.
"SAFETY CAR FLUTTERSHY!!!!" Toto yells
"who did cause this?" Fluttershy asks.
"it was Stroll" Toto replies.
"I think he saw some money in that wall" Fluttershy jokes. "But is he okay?"
"yes, after all, I think he's looking for his money now" Toto replies.
Fluttershy and Lewis pit for fresh softs. Both started on the medium compound and are now on softs. Ayrton pits as well, basically everyone, except for Apple Lauda pit. Apple Lauda is now in the lead of the race.
"finally there where I belong" Apple Lauda says with a sigh of relief.
You know that there are 2 angry Mercedes on your ass, right?" Silverstream reminds.
"Oh shit..." Apple Lauda says in realisation.
The safety car phase comes to an end and the race restarts. Apple Lauda quickly opens up a gap and increases it by about 25 seconds as he charges over the circuit.
"time to play games" Apple Lauda says.
"you are not going to gamble whilst racing do you?" Silverstream asks.
"of course I will do that" Apple Lauda says as he starts playing games such as plinko, limbo, dice, etc.
"Apple Lauda in front of you and I don't know what... wait what the fuck?!" Toto says.
"what is he doing?!" Fluttershy asks curiously.
"he's gambling mid race" Toto says as Fluttershy bursts out in laughter.
"no he isn't!!! Why the fuck would he gamble during the race?!" Fluttershy asks, laughing.
"I think he wants to go broke" Toto answers in a humorful tone.
"Rainbow Dash, you will not believe me what just happened... Apple Lauda is gambling whilst leading the race" Andreas Seidl says.
Rainbow Dash laughs. "I think somepony wants to go broke"
"Spitfire, you will kill me for this, but Apple Lauda is gambling right now" Mike Krack says.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! HE SHOULD FOCUS ON RACING AND NOT FOCUSING ON BURNING HIS BITS!!!" Spitfire yells, partly laughing.
"Fernando, do you think it's a good idea to pit for fresh tyres?" Mike Krack asks. Fernando has a typical Fernando reply in his bag.
"I think Apple Lauda is addicted to gambling" Fernando says without hesitation.
in the final lap, Apple Lauda is caught off guard as his final bet was made.
"OH MY FUCKING GOD NO WAY!!!" Apple Lauda yells through the radio.
"don't tell me he won!!!" Ayrton says, stunned. "he lost like half of his bits and now what?!"
But Apple Lauda doesn't notice the two Mercedes, overtaking Apple Lauda in the final corner.
"together" Fluttershy says. The two Mercedes cross the finish line together at the exact same time.

"well congratulations to your home win Fluttershy" Apple Lauda says.
"are you broke now?" Fluttershy asks in a tone filled with humor.
"I actually won big money" Apple Lauda says.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!" Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Spitfire and Silverstream yell in unison.
"how much did you win?" Spitfire asks curiously.
"enough money to extend the contract with Ayrton for the next 10 seasons, plus there's also enough bits for dinner. This one's on me" Apple Lauda answers Spitfire's question.
"you mean enough to gamble again?" Spitfire says, laughing.
"I am not addicted" Apple Lauda says.
"you should focus on racing instead of going broke" Rainbow Dash tells Apple Lauda some helpful advice.
"Rainbow is right. Please, don't gamble mid race again... it's not good, but addicting as well" Ayrton agrees.
"DID YOU BURN YOUR MONEY TOO?!?!?!" Spitfire asks furiously.
"I didn't burn my money because I'm not gambling..." Ayrton replies.
"anyways, who wants some dinner?" Apple Lauda asks.
"ME" Silverstream, Spitfire, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy say in unison. Ayrton also comes along with the 4 ponies and the hippogriff.
