How about Kimi telling drunkly to Lewis that yn is his wife and then Lewis telling Charles
Yes, Lewis is a gossip girl. Just like the rest of us!
The entire thing started because Kimi could not hold his alcohol. Lewis discovered this halfway through a paddock party.
Kimi was sitting on a sofa, drink in hand, looking unusually pleased with himself. “You alright?” Lewis asked, dropping into the seat beside him. Kimi nodded solemnly. “Yep.” A pause. Then: “My wife is really pretty.” Lewis blinked. “Your what?” “My wife.”
Lewis immediately knew there was no wife. Mostly because Kimi was nineteen and spectacularly single. (And in love with a certain Leclerc sister) Still, he was curious. “Who’s your wife, then?” Kimi smiled dreamily. “Yn.” Lewis had to bite the inside of his cheek to stop himself laughing. “Yn Leclerc?” “Obviously.” “Does she know she’s your wife?” Kimi considered this. “No.” “Right.” A beat. Then Kimi pointed at him. “But I know.” Lewis almost choked.
The next morning, Lewis found Charles in the paddock. Perfect. “Charles.” Charles looked up from his coffee. “LH.” Lewis placed a hand on his shoulder. “I just wanted to congratulate you.” Charles frowned. “For what?” Lewis looked genuinely touched. “Your sister’s marriage.” Silence. “What?” “Beautiful news.” “What marriage?” Lewis shook his head. “So humble.” Charles was already lowering his coffee. “Lewis.” “I’m very happy for the happy couple.” “LEWIS.”
The older driver finally sighed. “As far as I’m aware, Kimi informed me last night that Yn is his wife.” The silence that followed was magnificent. Charles stared. Then blinked. Then stared some more. “Excuse me?” Lewis could feel years being added to Charles’ life. “He seemed very certain.” “My sister is not married.” “That’s not what your brother-in-law said.” Charles nearly dropped his coffee. “My WHAT?” Lewis was having the time of his life. Across the paddock, George was already laughing because he’d figured out exactly what was happening.
Charles was now pulling out his phone. “Oh no.” “Oh yes.” “No, Charles, don’t call her.” Too late. The call connected. “Hello?” “ARE YOU MARRIED?” A long pause. “…What?” Lewis finally broke and doubled over laughing. On the other end of the line, Yn sounded completely baffled. “Charles, have you hit your head again?” Charles slowly turned toward Lewis. Realization dawning. “Lewis.” Lewis was still laughing. “Lewis.” “You should’ve seen your face.” Charles pointed at him. “I’m going to kill you.”
Meanwhile, several garages away, Kimi was drinking a juice box and trying to remember why everybody kept looking at him strangely. He had absolutely no recollection of acquiring a wife.
