I heard my phone ringing as I was in quite a deep sleep. Groaning I reached out to my phone hitting the green button to answer.
"What?" I asked still half asleep not even bothering to see my caller ID.
"Morning Alex. I had to take my car to the garage yesterday, can I catch a ride with you to Carrington?" A familiar Manc accent called out.
I fought the glare on the phone screen, to check the time, which was telling me it was 4.15 am. Then, I saw who was calling and said:
"Rashy it's 4.15 am and if you knew yesterday you needed a ride, why the fuck didn't you ask then?"
"I was looking for you, but Rob said you were in an appointment with Luke and I wasn't allowed to bother you unless I was dying," he said.
I giggled as it was a typical Rob thing to tell the lads who just loved to come to my office or the treatment room to avoid their media duties.
"Your training starts at 9 am right?" I asked him.
"Yep gym then on the out pitch," Rashy said.
"I'll pick you up at 8 am, be ready" I said hanging up on him.
I set my alarm to ring at 6:30 a.m. since Rashy ruined my routine and quickly fell asleep again. When I woke up again, I took a shower and changed into my United uniform, which consisted of the team tracksuit and my trainers. I walked out to the kitchen, popped in some toast, and made myself a coffee. After I had finished, I grabbed my car keys, locked up my apartment, and headed to the garage to get to my car. I picked up Marcus, who would not stop fidgeting with the car radio.
"Marcus pick a channel, and stick to it," I said as I stopped at a set of traffic lights.
"Sorry, but I can't be asked with the news at 7 a.m." Rashy moaned out.
"Just switch on Bluetooth and put your playlist on man," I said. It was way too early to deal with Marcus. This is why I always prefer to be alone unless I've had my second coffee. He finally connected his phone and was singing along to his music.
"Have you got everything?" I asked.
"Yes. I triple-checked this morning after I called you because I already knew you'd be annoyed at me for waking you up. I didn't want to annoy you further by forgetting something." Marcus said.
"Why have you never been this thoughtful in the 21 years I've known you?" I asked him laughing.
"Because I love winding you up. I don't like when you've told Dave and Luke and they come and tell me off" He moaned.
I laughed and said "I'm sorry Rashy, sometimes I'm venting to them, but I don't realise they tell you off. I'll speak with them and tell them to pack it in" I said.
"I don't mind it, Lex. I deserve it most of the time. Also, I'm glad you've got someone on your side you can vent to and you're not keeping things to yourself. At least they'll tell me straight up that I'm being a dick head".
"As you wish. If they act like prats, let me know and I'll have a chat." I said pulling into the Carrington car park. By coming early, we got here before the photographers, who come to take photos of the lads every day because they've got nothing better to do.
"The boss is already here" Marcus said pointing at Erik Ten Hag's car parked in its designated parking space.
"Luke and Mason just pulled up behind us now," I said as I parked my car in an empty parking spot, with Luke taking the space next to us.
"Why are they here this early?" Marcus asked.
"Absolutely no idea. I've got neither of them today for a session" I said. I knew why he asked. It's because I like getting lads that have had serious injuries in the past looked at, every couple of weeks, to check that they've not got any muscle fatigue and they've not been straining themselves.
Taking off my seat belt, I exited the car and grabbed my bags from the back seat.
"Good morning boys," I said shutting the door as I put my bag across my shoulder.
"Morning, Doc. Morning, Rashy," Mason said.
"Morning, Luke. Morning, Mase," Rashy said in reply.
"How come you're here two hours before training starts?" I asked them both.
"Need to leave training early because my family is up from Portsmouth, so the boss said if I come in early and do my training in the gym, and do it well, I can get out early," Mason said.
"I have to drive him because he's still not got his car up from London," Luke said, pointing at Mason.
"Marcus, you woke me up at 4.15 a.m. to pick you up. You could've written in the group chat and asked if someone was coming in early, you idiot," I told Marcus.
"I never asked anyone, I'm sorry, Lex. At least you came to work on time," Marcus said, grabbing his bag and running off.
"Yeah, you better run, Marcus. Don't come to my office, Rob can deal with you today," I yelled after Marcus.

Chapter 1: It's all about AJ!
Alexandra Jayde Jones, better known as AJ, is an extraordinary achiever at the young age of 28. Despite being born in Oakland, CA, she grew up in Manchester. AJ's journey to success is remarkable considering her difficult start in life, being adopted as a baby and overcoming adversity.
Her love for medicine was kindled by her adoptive parents, both esteemed doctors. AJ was inspired by their commitment to helping others, and this fueled her desire to follow in their footsteps. Graduating at the age of 25, AJ immediately made an impact in the world of Sports Medicine.
She landed a dream job as the team physician for Manchester United, a position she took on wholeheartedly. Her love for football and admiration for the athletes' commitment and resilience made this opportunity a dream come true.
Marcus, AJ's closest friend, was her constant companion. They had grown up together, and despite AJ being three years older, they had an inseparable bond, like siblings. They enjoyed playing pranks on each other, and sometimes the team and staff were the victims of their mischief.
AJ also found time to unwind and relax in her cosy 2-bed apartment in Greater Manchester, where she could escape the pressures of her demanding job. The apartment was filled with mementoes of her accomplishments, reminding her how far she had come. Her friends also visited her there to take a time-out when needed.
Guys, if you read on AO3 please try to create an account. So many of us writers are going to be forced to lock down our fics to registered users out of necessity to help keep AI away, and it kills us because we don’t want to stop any of you from reading.
AO3 is invite only. So if you know an AO3 user, ask if they have an invitation to give you (we’re given invite codes to share with others who want to join) because that’s an easy way to get in. If you don’t know someone you can ask, this is AO3’s instructions for requesting one from them…
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the
Organization for Transformative Works
I know this seems like an extra step and maybe you don’t think you need it and can just read from people who haven’t locked their fics. But this isn’t just about you as the reader. If you enjoy fics and you want to keep them coming, this is how you support your favorite writers! If our stats and comments plummet, I guarantee writing is going to start going down as well. Nobody wants that! So please consider making an account and signal boosting this as well! 🙏🏻
**NOTE: AO3 indicates (as of today) there’s 48k some people in the queue for invites and they’re sending out about 5k per day. That’s not a bad wait at all!!**
You can also just sign up like normal and AO3 let’s you in as soon as a spot opens (for me it took less than a day) so no worries if you don’t actually know anyone!
This is all I had brains for and I really wanted to do something. Hope you’re going to like it. Thanks for reading. Please, leave a feedback if you have the chance xoxo

Sergio watched his daughter kicking the ball around, images of the first time he’d hold her tiny body in her arms popped into his mind. He couldn’t even imagine his life without her anymore, everytime he remembered he’d wanted a boy, he couldn’t help but laugh. His little princes had him wrapped around her pinkie much to his wife amusement and annoyance at times.
To my dear Seb fans, I share with you a playlist that I know sums up quite a lot of our feelings. Towards the treatment of Seb. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Loads more music to come. Any ideas just let me know.
This is for the F1 fans. I have to get this off my chest. Read if you may but it needed to be said.
1. Stop hating on writers who write fanfics or oneshots based on the drivers. Some writers see this as their only escape or way to express themselves and show off their creativity (myself included). It takes a lot of time and effort to be consistent, trust me when I say it’s not easy because when you get writers block..oof I can’t explain how shit it feels.
2. Now this one seems to trigger quite a few people. Sexualising the drivers. Some people see it as nothing and others will come at me with “they’re human beings, not objects” like okay I hear you but are you not going to talk about the other fandoms out there ? The F1 fandom is so small compared to other fandoms such as BTS, 1D etc. Why don’t these haters touch base on other fandoms that do it ? It’s expected of fans to fantasise about celebrities or even in this case drivers, it’s no crime. Some girl actually said along the lines “You need their consent to write about them.” Hun, if Anna Todd didn’t do it then why tf should any writer ? This ain’t no crime because a ton load of writers would’ve been cancelled a long time ago. Some people really be pressed about this as if they’re the drivers gf or something, join the line.
3. I do not condone fanfics that include rape, pedophilia, incest or even driver x driver. Now THAT in my opinion is crossing the line and yet you still think writing smut about the drivers is bad ? As sick as it is to see it written, you have no right to send hate to the writer. That’s bullying. Period.
4. Last point... it ain’t okay to send drivers link to fanfics. That’s full and final. It’s not only uncomfortable for them but for the writer as well, this may lead to some actually deleting all of their hard work which just isn’t cool bro. Don’t do it. It’s that simple.
I’ve come to a conclusion as to why the F1 Twitter hate club have been having a laugh at smut written for the drivers, all those that were hating are boys. Do I need to even explain further lmao, but basically they can’t get the action that they read about these boys so what else to do but hate on them right ? Wrong. Get a life fam. You wanna hate on others and want to bring awareness ? Get involved in politics mate. As much as we try to spread positivity, it’s always expected to have people who are negative. All you can do is kill them with kindness, what goes around comes around. Karma is a bitch. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Okay but am I the only one who thought that the contrast in Charles's and Sebastian's post race interviews really didn't reflect well on Sebastian? Charles was very calm and just basically said we are mature enough to put it behind us and we will continue to work together. Sebastian was very short and snarky with the interviewer and kept cutting her questions off and barely answered her at all.
He was emotional on the track after he stopped the car. When you're coming down from an adrenaline rush you express opinions in ways you may regret. So he wanted the interviews rushed so he could get away and calm down. Also I bet he's just done with Charles and Ferrari this year so I really don't blame him. I thought he was professional and to the point.
Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.
Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).
Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.
So what is changing?
Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.
Why are we doing this?
It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.
Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.
So what’s next?
Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.
Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.
Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.
Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.
