"Next time, I'll be the one winning, but congrats for now," Lando said as he and the third-place finisher, Alessio Lorandi, joined Fatih on the top step of the podium for a photo.
"Thanks, and I look forward to that," Fatih said, wiping his alcohol-free, champagne-covered face before placing his hands on the shoulders of the other two podium finishers, ready for the photo.
"Oh, I just remembered I'm moving to the KF category next year, so it looks like that's going to be impossible," Lando said as they stepped off the podium, each of them carrying their trophies and medals. He then asked, "Is this your last competition this year?"
"No, there is still the WSK Final Cup in 7 Laghi, so we still have one more competition where we can face off. Other than that, we might have to wait until single-seaters for you to keep your promise," Fatih said, teasing Lando. They had become as friendly as two fierce competitors could be.
