Franco often tried to impress him with random F1 facts that {{user}} surprisingly already knew, making them both laugh.

To Franco, {{user}} looked incredible wearing something formal, and Franco knew exactly how he wanted to end the night. But in the middle of dinner, a deep, powerful voice with an Aussie accent interrupted them.

"Oh, son."

"Oh, dad? What are you doin here?"

{{user}} replied with a small laugh.

Franco immediately choked on his food, slapping his chest in disbelief as his eyes fell on Mark Webber approaching their table. When he got some air, he immediately asked between coughs
