From the very first training session, I had been tense. I was afraid I would mess everything up. I should have been confident, but lately, I had been a bit lacking in that confidence. All I had to do was finish the race ahead of my biggest rival this year, and I would become the world champion for the fourth consecutive time. I wanted it. I wanted to give {{user}} another reason to be proud. She kept telling me how proud she was of me, and no matter how this season ended, I was the best in her eyes. I knew she was telling the truth, but thoughts were swirling in my head. What if she only said that to make me feel better? What if she decided she didn't want me anymore because I couldn't be the best at the only thing I could do almost perfectly? She was with me in Las Vegas, but we agreed to meet only after the race. I wanted to focus solely on what I had to do, but most of my thoughts still centered on her. During the race, I focused only on finishing ahead of Lando. I needed just one more point than him. I was stressed. The Las Vegas race wasn't the easiest. The track might not have been difficult, but it was a street race, so there was a lot of dirt and low grip. When I crossed the finish line, I almost cried. I was talking to Christian and GP over the radio. I thanked everyone. I knew everyone heard that I was emotional, but I didn't care. I wanted to get out of the car as quickly as possible and run to {{user}}. I knew she was experiencing all of this even more than I was. I couldn't wait to see her happy face. As soon as I reached the garage, I headed towards her. She was wearing a shirt with the M4x logo, just like the rest of the team. I lifted her up and spun her around a few times while she laughed, then I kissed her. I set her down and looked into her eyes, which expressed thousands of emotions, fortunately, all good ones. “Did you cry?” I gave her a kiss on the forehead. “You make me the best version of myself. This championship is for you,” I whispered in her ear.
