"I've been jealous of every person who found the words you needed to hear when mine tasted stale. I've been jealous of the songs soothing you, the food comforting you and the jokes making you smile. Hell, I've been jealous of the sun for warming up all of your face at once, when my fingers have to pick which inches of your skin to caress.
I'm constantly jealous, and it's selfish, but I can't fight the visceral need to be your everything. And so as much as I've hoped and dreamed and prayed you would stand on the highest step of the Monaco podium, I've also been dreading the moment when you would feel absolutely complete and I wouldn't have anything to do with it.
And yet, here we are, the greatest day of your life, the happiest I've ever watched you be, a sight I have to share with the entire world and can't take any credit for, and I'm more at peace than I've ever been.
I finally get it. Your wellbeing isn't a competition, it's a duty all living souls should be devoted to. And I'll always be here to take over when everything else fails you."
Pierre Gasly in Monaco (probably)
