Summary
James let out a laugh, slowly drinking from his own glass of whisky (neat, thank you very much) while looking at Carlos up and down the length of his body. In all fairness, Carlos looked absolutely wrecked. He had been out with Lando and some others (against his will, to be fair), and he was sweaty, his hair in disarray and maybe had one too many. And while that was a push forward to actually attend this meeting, alcohol always made him drowsy.
‘You’ve done some drinking today, have you not?’ Nothing ever goes past James' careful attention to detail. His voice now had dropped to that usual calmed tone that hypnotized Carlos, his accent thick and british. ‘Are you sure you’re in the right mind to talk now?’
or... Carlos wins in Mexico and James wishes to find out how the winner feels.

Summary
They are subtle, the changes. Harsher on the turns, especially on the fast corners; grip is here, there and everywhere all at once; acceleration is great, but the car is heavier than any of the cars he has ever driven… In one of the laps, Carlos became aware that the reflection of the car on different surfaces was no longer as distracting as rosso corsa always was. It didn’t scream back at him like red did.
The realization had him shivering.
or...
Carlos has an existential crisis on his new team while James decides to go to the beach instead. Drama surely ensues.(Part 2 of The Brit Effect. Please go read part 1 as it will make more sense as we go along!)

Summary
Carlos feels shame from the bottom of his stomach all the way up to his cheeks. He doesn’t want anyone seeing him like this: on his knees on a hotel room’s carpet, not a single piece of clothing on him, eyes closed, mouth slightly ajar. He hears James moving around him, dull thuds on the hotel carpet signaling where he is at all times. Carlos relies on the sound queues, still unable to let out a single word. Is funny, really, as nothing is stopping him from speaking: no gag is in his mouth, nothing to threaten him, just the weight of James’ order.
or...
they finally get their act together and have filthy intercourse in Bahrain.

Summary
Just before he is about to check the route one more time there is a noise that gives the location away, the need to recheck completely forgotten. The path had been narrowing for the past 5 minutes of walking, the concentration of trees around both sides of the path getting thicker and leafier all around him… One would think that the sound wouldn’t be able to travel so freely around there, but what do you know? To his left he could make out two young men’s silhouettes at a really compromising position, the sound of the grass and fallen leaves evidencing a quick cadence of strokes and rough handling… James let a gulp go down his throat and kept walking through the trees following the path towards a small clearing.
...or the need to try cruising is too big and too enticing to ignore.
