F1 Drivers & Their Couples Halloween Costumes

: Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, Pierre Gasly, Alex Albon, Franco Colapinto, and Daniel Ricciardo

: Main Masterlist

: Author’s Note - Ik I’m a little late, but I had terrible migraine and just could not bring myself to finish this. But here we are! Here are some costumes I think that F1 Drivers will wear with their girlfriends

…

Max Verstappen

- Was absolutely against any stupid costume but the moment he saw this, it was over for him.

- For someone who was not interested in dressing up, Max took an awfully long time to make the cat’s head.

- Tried to show his outfit to Jimmy and Sassy……ya let’s just say, it did not go as well as he would have liked it to go 🤭

Lando Norris

- I mean….do I even need to explain this one???

- Lando was the one who came up with the idea (shocker)

- Put more effort and dedication into making the boobs than he does in race strategy! (He’d like to call this costume his life’s best work)

Oscar Piastri

- After rejecting several costume ideas (which included salt & pepper, socket & plug, jam & toast) he finally gave in to this costume (not that he had a choice)

- Decided to be Pete (totally called McLaren to get the orange hoodie set)

- Wanted to truly understand the essence of the character (spent 20+ hours trying to memorise the rap)

Charles Leclerc

- Honestly….even Charles has no idea why he suggested this costume.

- He wanted to do something fun….so he asked Arthur for help (this actually explains a lot why he was dressed like The Simpsons)

- This costume really grows on him, especially the headpiece (the expression reminds him of his years in Ferrari)

Carlos Sainz

- Tbh he has no idea what he’s doing! He’s just happy to be included.

- He doesn’t have many opinions about the costume; he just likes the fact that he gets to be close to his girlfriend.

- Gets so many compliments that he’s already started planning for next year’s couples costume.

George Russell

- Made a bet with Alex about who can become the most iconic Disney duo….hence Darla and Nemo 🐟

- Is more than happy to wear an orange wig, plaid skirt and glittery sweatshirt…🤨

- Even called Toto and asked him to play the dentist as a way to gain bonus points.

Lewis Hamilton

- He would rather die than be caught in these tacky outfits….which is why he found the best costume to wear!

- Got the suits custom made from the best designers (yes the alien is also custom made 👽)

- Won the best costume award (are we even surprised tho 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Pierre Gasly

- Just don’t ask why….this is what Pierre came up with!

- Now you might think the girlfriend is dressed as the chicken. Well….YOU’RE WRONG!!!

- Pierre insisted on dressing up as the chicken (bonus: he even asked Yuki to dress up as a knife)

Alex Albon

- Made a bet with George and he knew exactly what he wanted to become!!

- Truth be told, Alex made one hell of a Vector.

- He was surprisingly good at putting on the bald cap for Gru….which makes you wonder this isn’t the first time he’s done this 🤔

Franco Colapinto

- He had no intention of dressing up but got invited by the other drives, so he had to come up with something QUICK!

- Voila! Did a quick google search and decided to dress up as the first thing he saw.

- Not the best costume but 8/10 for his efforts and last minute planning 🥉

Daniel Ricciardo

- Does this not look like a pose Daniel would 100% do!!!!

- He said #Green&Proud

- Tried a lot to convince Max to dress up as the donkey 🫏….ya it didn’t happen!

fic writer interview! tagged by @bumblewyn @formulaocean and @sacharowan (SORRY i kept forgetting to do this the first two times)

How many works do you have on ao3? 42!

What’s your total word count? 217,747 and that's uh. about to jump again in a couple days. not sure where this sudden burst of creativity came from but i'm not complaining lol

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? The Idiot's Guide To Roommates (NCT/Kpop); Man's Second Best Friend (With Benefits) (F1); Always Bring A Banana To A Party (NCT); From the Top, Make it Drop (NCT); and How Not To Get a Boyfriend (NCT). you can notice a distinct theme in my fandoms lol

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? i ... try my best! i'd say i reply to most of them but there are definitely some i miss skdfjhskjdf

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? probably We Almost Nailed It (NCT) (i'm NOT recommending this one it's my first published work and i think it's. rough. but it is sad. tfw you have to kill your boyfriend for your job lol)

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending? that might be Golden Light (my beautiful transfem george i love you so so much)

Do you write crossovers? ummm im not anti-crossover but i think most of my crossover ideas never make it out of the docs. so yes? but not in a way that matters very much lol

Have you ever received hate on a fic? yeah lol

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? yes i do and id say its. sad? i don't think i'm capable of writing smut without putting Emotions and Angst in it usually. but i like it like that so its not a bad thing at all lol

Have you ever had a fic stolen? not that im aware of!

Have you ever had a fic translated? nope

Have you ever co-written a fic before? yes!!! this is where i plug my and @bumblewyn's charlando fic shut your mouth (give me your head) which is REALLY good if i do say so myself. it was such a blast writing it too!

What’s your all-time favourite ship? ... destiel. look. i'm not immune to angel of the lord raising the righteous man from hell, asking him why he doesn't think he deserves to be saved, and both of them then proceeding to save each other over and over. idk it just [shrimp emotions]

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? a naruto fic i got like 10k into and then suddenly stopped having the will to write. rest in peace sasunaru you will get your happy ending in some other universe but not that one

What are your writing strengths? i'd say characterisation for sure. i really enjoy getting to know a character and deciding what their voice will be in my head. i also think i'm not too bad at worldbuilding although i don't tend to spend a lot of time on it within fics

What are your writing weaknesses? endings ... i tremble at the thought of actually properly tying up a fic and settling everything down. also finding titles lol

What are your thoughts on dialogue in other languages in a fic? i don't do it and i don't like it (most of the time when it's in a language i know it just. doesn't work for me lol) (sometimes it can also be downright creepy due to cultural/linguistic differences) (PLEASE stop making max verstappen say schatje. thats gross)

What was the first fandom you wrote for? i used to hand-write self-insert little women fic when i was like eight. so probably that. i had thee biggest crush on jo lmao

What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to? i haven't written geochalex. yet. but it's going to happen at some point. otherwise i'd say charles/lewis would be a really interesting ship too

What’s your favourite fic you’ve written? if i have to pick one above the rest ... yeah, probably make me taste alive. it's galex, in which alex is a vampire and george is entirely normal about it, of course.

thanks so much for tagging me! genuinely, i think all the authors i know on here have already been tagged, but if you haven't and you see this, please use it as an open tag if you want to do this.

Pierre Gasly x Charles Leclerc's cousin!reader

I recommend listening to this playlist with the following remixes after the ' * '.

Not proofread and English isn't my first language so please be kind. I added some French as well but pls don’t come for my head if there are any mistakes hahahaha! Thank you and happy reading!

Words: 2153

------------------------------------------------------

You walk out of the bathroom in just a towel wrapped around your body as you hear the TV announce the devastating news for your cousin. Your dad and brother throw their hands in the air simultaneously, both frustrated because they were convinced Charles would bring it home today. "Ah merde," you mutter under your breath and your brother agrees.

"Not only will Charles Leclerc not start from pole position, he will not start the Monaco Grand Prix at all. Ferrari confirms that it's a problem with the left driveshaft, which is impossible to fix in time for the start of the race"

Just his luck.

"And it's lights out and away we go-"

The race starts and Max Verstappen quickly takes the lead. It wasn't a surprise to you since he's been dominating this season. Max was one of the few drivers you hadn't had the chance of meeting yet, but after a quick exchange of texts with Charles he'd make sure that Max would accept the invitation. Let's run over that again. You had begged Charles to come to your after party GP gig at La Rascasse since a friend of yours got the gig as Paddock DJ this year. Charles had made Pierre tag along because otherwise, he wouldn't go, Pierre had then invited a few of his friends which then later resulted in Charles asking his friends. Since it already was such a big squad forming you told him to ask Max. Charles knew Max was your favorite in the driver's championship and even though you didn't want to admit it. You were careful with choosing sides on the grid since your cousin, a real Monegasque, was the talk of Monaco. Monaco's crown jewel; or so they say, at least during the Grand Prix week.

Now since the Monegasque wasn't starting at all you took the opportunity to clear some things up over text, for instance when you were starting your set. You walked to your room, typing out a message.

You: Okay I've got some updates for you big man. I'll be playing around 10:30 pm to 1:30-2 am. please don't embarrass me or else i'll post that awful pic of you from Spain

You chuckle to yourself before plugging in your charger and later on placing your phone in front of your vanity mirror so you could watch the race from your room. A couple of yawns were leaving your lips as you dried your hair with a towel. You thought that a power nap would be to your advantage if you wanted to perform your best and stay awake the entire night. It was the first night out since lockdown after all.

Ding.

"Vettel, is ahead of Gasly? They're going to go wheel to wheel up Beau Rivage here. I think Sebastian Vettel, ahead of Pierre Gasly? Yes he is"

Is the first thing you hear when you wake up 30 minutes later. Of course, it wasn't just Charles that was going to be frustrated tonight. You had a feeling Pierre was going to be a bit grumpy as well. You reach over for you phone to check the text you had received just seconds ago.

Charles Leclerc🏎: Breh

va te fair fourte😢that's just cruel, you're straight-up blackmailing me

You grin before typing out a response.

You: Yeah whatever, as long as you bring Pierre you're excused👀

The three dots immediately pops up as soon as your message was delivered.

Charles Leclerc🏎: 😏😏😏😏😏Pierre huh?

You: and Max

and you can also add Daniel, Lando, George and Lance to the list

Charles Leclerc:🏎: Okay chill, stop exploiting me for my friends

You: BRO STOP I LITERALLY INTRODUCED YOU TO CHARLOTTE

Charles Leclerc🏎: I was gonna say jk but you never let me finish ahahah. Pierre and Max is coming tonight that's all I know. Do you have a reservation for us or do i have to fix everything myself?🙄😎

The banter between you had always been there. Charles always treated you as a younger sister and even though there was only a two-year difference between you he liked showing off his big brother side. He loved teasing you and was always the first to embarrass you if he wanted to spice things up on a night out. Luckily you were not the one taking shit for nothing, you always challenged him to a payback. It was usually in drinks or in arm wrestling (which you always won). The dynamic between you were always 100% vibes.

You: 1 table for 8 people. Told you I'd fix it. Don't be late!

Charles Leclerc🏎: can't make any promises, Pierre is my best friend so I tend to be late 😂

You: tell your best friend he'll get to help me in the DJ stand if you both make it on time

Charles Leclerc🏎: omg omg omg I'll definitely tell him that😏 He'll freak out

How you knew Pierre? he invited Charles to go on a two week long hot boy summer vacation which he was very keen on joining. If it wasn't for you he would've definitely had gone, but he had promised to go on a family vacation together with his and your family to celebrate your dad's 60th birthday. All of you had somehow ended up in Spain which was funny considering that's exactly where Pierre and his friends were planning on going. Luckily, you and Charles had gotten the green light from your parents to leave the family gathering for a few days so the decision was pretty clear. You packed a weekend bag each and rented a car to go see them. Charles had tried to arrange a meeting between you and Pierre before, but he was always the one backing out, blaming it on COVID . Charles did know that deep down it was actually about Pierre being too shy, but of course, he hadn't told you that. He thought it was cute and were happy the two of you would finally meet.

"Hey, I'm Tom, nice to meet you!" a man comes up to you and Charles as you take out the bags from the trunk. You hand Charles his bag and Tom gives you and Charles a fist bump "I'm (y/n)," you respond with a big smile. "Well we're so happy you could join us. Must be quite nice to leave the family for a few days. Charles told me all about it, your dad's turning 60, right?"

You chuckled at his enthusiasm. It was quite entertaining knowing that someone you had known for less than five minutes already knew so much about you.

"Yeah haha, I didn't know he told you my entire life story already. Don't know if I'm surprised or frightened though"

You earn a laugh from Tom as he hurls his arms around you and Charles.

"He tends to have that effect on people this one. C'mon let's go inside we have people to introduce you to"

"Sure," you say and Charles is shaking his head before taking the lead inside.

The three of you walk inside and the moment you walk upstairs you hear a french voice yelling.

"Frérot!"

"Gavroche!" Charles responds walking up to Pierre giving him a bro hug.

"Ay fellas can we not use french during the holiday. I feel extremely incompetent and useless when you do" a guy from across the room yells.

You laugh.

"Nonbilingual club here. I'm Sean by the way" the guy waves from behind Pierre.

"Vous avez votre propre langage secret ou quelque chose du genre?" you ask, looking at Charles and Pierre. Tom offers to take your bag and you nod thankfully before handing it to him.

"Oh great we have another Frenchman here" Sean exclaims, throwing his hands in the air jokingly.

"Monegasque, if I may"

"Oh yeah, I forgot, the better kind" He winks at you and you chuckle.

Pierre dunks him hard on the back. "What did you just say" and Sean laughs before taking a sip from his beer.

You walk over to the kitchen to get some water but you feel a tap on your shoulder as you were reaching for a bottle in the fridge. You turn around to see the Frenchman in a backward cap in front of you. You'd lie to yourself if you didn't think he was attractive.

"Hi, I wasn't ignoring you earlier I promise. I just didn't know you were coming"

What a weird way of starting a conversation.

"It's alright, no worries," you say and opened the bottle of water to take a sip.

"And I get a bit shy sometimes, so I didn't want to embarrass myself. I'm Pierre by the way" he said, extending his hand.

You gave him a smile before shaking his hand.

"I'm (y/n) and I know quite a bit about you Gasly, but you don't have to be shy around me. Think of me as a second Charles"

Pierre returned your smile when he heard your response. "Nice to finally get a face to your name (y/n)"

"Nice to finally meet you too," you say, holding on to his hand a little longer than planned.

Pierre let go of your hand first, but you saw a grin forming on his lips.

"So, do you have any embarrassing stories about Charles?" he asked, looking over to the Monegasque who were engaged in a conversation with Tom and Sean.

"How long do you have?"

You and Pierre got along well. Maybe even a little too well. Charles had picked up on the subtle glances the two of you were sharing from time to time and the way Pierre always took the seat next to you. Always Charles on your left and Pierre to your right. Along with seat arrangements, Pierre always sought a way to find a spot in the photos you were taking for Instagram.

You're scrolling through the pictures on your phone smiling to yourself. "Hey, can you airdrop me the pictures?" he asks his french accent prominent.

You nod selecting a few of the pictures to your favorites. Pierre looks over your shoulder as you press share. You feel his cologne as you breathe in the light breeze that just hit your face. Pierre giggles, pointing at your screen, but his Iphone wasn't showing.

"You're phone isn't visible. Do you have Bluetooth on?" you ask, pressing share again.

He quickly checks his phone.

"Yeah, yeah there shouldn't be an issue. Weird..,"

"Hmm," you hum.

"Maybe I need your number" he then points out and he earns a giggle from you. "May I have your number please?" he then adds grinning.

- And that was the story of meeting Pierre Gasly. Of course Charles couldn't stop asking about the two of you when you were on your way back to link up with your families.

*

The vibes at La Rascasse are insane. You walk past the VIP section glancing over to your table for moral support. The boys hadn't arrived yet which made you mentally facepalm. Of course, they had the audacity to be late the one time you had asked for their support.

"One water, preferably bottle, and a beer please" You order at the main bar.

"11 euros please," the bartender says gesturing for you to scan your card.

"Thanks so much, have a great night," you say taking your drinks before heading closer to the DJ stand.

You could feel the nerves in your stomach. It wasn't just butterflies anymore, more like your heart having a party in there. You couldn't ignore nausea anymore so you took a sip from your beer hoping it would calm you down a bit. "You got this" you mumbled to yourself finally taking the last step up the stairs to the DJ stand. Looking over the crowd was mesmerizing. Oh what you had missed this. Losing yourself to the tunes and living in the moment completely.

Your hands touch the turntables just to get into the spirit. Inhale. Exhale. Let's do this.

"All I need is your love tonight-" starts and you make yourself ready to soon fade over to Candyshop and then Alors On Danse.

You sing the lyrics timing the beat and then; un, deux, trois, quatre - fade. "Qui dit étude dit travail. Qui dit taf te dit les thunes. Qui dit argent dit dépenses. Qui dit crédit dit créance-" the crowd starts singing and a smile is growing on your lips. You adjust your headset so you can hear better before looking out over the crowd. Hands in the sky vibing to the music that is pounding out of the speakers. You scan the crowd for familiar faces and you found some people you recognize, not the ones you're looking for though. You fade over to Daft Punks One More Time with Losing It as base track.

"(Y/N)!" you hear a weak voice blending together with the music. Your eyes look up and out to the crowd again. "(Y/N)!" there it was again.

Bad and Boujee replaces Daft Punk and after nailing the fade you look over to the bar signaling that you need a drink. The VIP area is now filled with people and you can't help but notice that your booked table was still empty. You try disguising your shaking head as bopping to the music, but you were only human, disappointment invading your thoughts.

Whilst waiting for your drink you queued a few premixed songs. You try shaking off the awful feeling but quickly conclude that the only solution was to distract yourself. You grab the microphone beside your setup singing along to the lyrics and you could hear the crowd whistling. Your arms move with the rhythm and when you hear the familiar pop from champagne bottles you knew. Your body moved in race pace and you climb up on the table beside your setup. There they were, by the bar, dancing, spraying everyone and anyone with champagne. This was the closest you'd ever come to a podium. You hear the two bottles clink together as Charles and Max took large sips. Daniel was the first one to wave and you couldn't help but laugh. So far you hadn't spotted Pierre, but you blew kisses to the boys anyway and Charles jumps into the crowd catching one. Max jumps after. Jesus Christ.

You feel a nudge on your ankle by something cold and you jump slightly. Standing behind, in the flesh, where the man you been secretly hoping for all night; Pierre Gasly. He had two drinks in his hands and he held out one to you.

"Hey! what's this!?" you ask, accepting the drink and he gives you his hand to help you down from the table.

"Mon chouchou!" he greets, getting a bit closer and then leaning over to connecting his lips to your ear. You instantly feel your heart in your throat. "It's called a Screaming Orgasm. I'm planning on giving you one later" he says, grinning.

Oh la la, you didn’t know drinks were considered special delivery tonight. Seems like french kisses aren’t enough for him. It sure isn’t for you.
