Summary
What had begun as an idle observation among the tour players had transformed with time into an unspoken rule, and then a spoken rule, then a generally incontrovertible fact.
It didn’t start out as an active decision, for Jannik. At first, of course, he wasn’t playing in any finals. Sure, he won a few matches, but the sixth set isn’t for winners. It’s for tournament winners. Champions. And their runners up.Later, when he won, he declined. When he lost, he was declined. No one desired him in that way. Long and lanky. Too quiet. Too cold. Too alien. An outlier. By the time that changed, helped along by a grand slam title and a gucci sponsorship, it was too late.
By that time, Jannik was untouchable.
Poised and professional, pious in his dedication to the game. Aloof, ascendant, and apparently all too alluring as a result.The fact remains. Jannik Sinner doesn't play the sixth set. Because he doesn’t lose.
Of course, there’s one exception.Bookmarked by race_yap_repeat

Summary
The problem is, Nico thinks to himself, that no matter how he slices it, it would be a terrible conversation to have with anyone, let alone Gabi.
"I can hear you masturbating in your room," he imagines himself saying, "It's actually given me much to think about the general wall density in hotel rooms, seeing as this has now happened in multiple hotels across the world. What was that? Why haven't I asked to be put in a different room? Oh yes, haha, funny story, you see, I 've discovered that I really like listening to you do it."No, Nico decides. No. This is a problem, and he will solve it by working on himself, preferrably before he begs his twenty year-old team mate to take him to bed.

Summary
Charles standing tall on his car, the wings stretched across his race suit shoulders, matching the ones under him in the car. In the background, a somber electronic beat pulses, tension building. A voice murmurs through the track — low, almost menacing: Red Bull gives you wings.
In what could only be described as a crisis of faith, Charles leaves Ferrari.
