My '2 months later' request.

Please message me for ideas. Need to read more about him.

Calling all fanfic writers to develop a fic with Esteban and absolutely any other driver.

I'm of the opinion that he can be shipped with anyone, so please prove me right.

Esteban deserves the world for overcoming it

i just need a fellow esteban fan to talk to about this. do you really ACTUALLY think he will be happier or do better at haas? i feel like a bad fan for thinking this but i don't know that he will be any happier and it scares me

Hi anon! Sorry I sat on this for a little bit, my fiance is in America right now and I've been spending a lot of time with him.

I do genuinely think that Esteban will be happier and do better at Haas! I'm not saying like, ASTRONOMICALLY better, but better. Happier, more than anything. He will be on a team that wants him and working with a man that was his first race engineer and that loves him. I think the change of pace after YEARS on the same team will be good for him.

Ollie will be really good as a teammate too. He's already come out and said that technically Ollie has more experience in the Haas car than he does and that he's proven himself and won't need too much from Esteban haha. So I think they will have an interesting dynamic for sure.

Haas is really doing better and better and I think they will continue to improve. And I hope that they do! But I'm not expecting them to like suddenly be a top team or anything like that, I try to be as realistic as possible. I can't make too many predictions on what next year will be like because I simply don't know. I wish I had a crystal ball but I don't. I just hope that Haas continues to do well and that Esteban will be happy someplace he's wanted.

When Esteban is involved, I try to stay as positive as is realistically possible and right now I see no reason not to trust in Haas and Esteban's move. He signed with them for a reason, I think he believes in them too and hopefully they can live up to that! :)

This also applies to every other part of the fandom.

I know Esteban is a polarizing figure. I cannot change that. However, I want to request the entire F1 fandom to please exclude his tag if you want to talk about anything that is negative in nature. His tag brings us something to look forward to and you taging his name with negativity makes it an unenjoyable experience for all of his fans. The 'anti' tag exists for a reason, please use that.

We cannot change your hate, however, please take the extra step to exclude us from seeing it.

It's a humble request to the entire F1 fandom.

F1 stories

welcome to my attempt at being organized!!

i've compiled a masterlist of my fic that i've written just to have it all in one convenient place on my blog. listed below the cut here:

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Pierre/Esteban; 12.7k; M

“You smell like a wildfire, Pierre,” Esteban hisses. “I always smell it when I’m around you. The smoke. I’m sick to death of it.” “Mais, non!” Pierre gets right in his face, pointing a finger at Esteban's chest. “I only smell the fire when I’m around you, Esteban." Esteban and Pierre did a magic spell together when they were little. The spell is flaring up again now that they're teammates. They're trying to figure out how to break it — or, are they?

This Beautiful Charade

Pierre/Esteban; Charles/Carlos & Logan/Oscar Chapters 2/2; 38k; M *grief/mourning tag Esteban takes a step backwards, gawking at Pierre. “Why would I break off our engagement?” “Because of Oscar!” Pierre yells. “Because of Charles. Because Charles has been trying to set me up with Oscar.” Goddammit, Pierre thinks. The whole thing sounds so stupid when spoken out loud like this. Pierre and Esteban have just gotten engaged. They’re planning to tell Charles the good news in person but, when they hear that Charles has taken up matchmaking and that he has been meddling in other peoples’ relationships, they decide to keep their relationship a secret for the time being. This is an AU based on the novel Emma as told by Frank Churchill (Pierre) and Jane Fairfax (Esteban).

Night Flight to Venice

Pierre/Esteban; 10.6k; M “We were in Venice,” Esteban says. Pierre sets his hands on his hips. “We’re at the Venetian, Esteban,” he says in a firm voice. “We are in Las Vegas. We’ve been staying at the Venetian.” “No,” Esteban insists, “we were in Venice together.”

après moi, le déluge

Pierre/Esteban; 14.5k; M Of course Pierre cares about Esteban. He cares so much that he’s been driven to the brink of sheer lunacy over it. All this time, he’s been caught between his wish for Esteban to kiss him, and Esteban’s absolute refusal to do it.

La Révolution

Pierre/Esteban; 10.3k; M Esteban gives a little eye roll. As though Pierre had started the French Revolution himself. As though Pierre had stormed the Bastille and stolen all the gunpowder. Esteban laughs softly to himself. After all, it does sound like something Pierre would do.

Day without the Night

Pierre/Esteban & Charles/Carlos; 26.9k; M Chapters 3/3 *grief/mourning tag Pierre looks at Esteban now. The two of them are standing off to the side, away from the crowd. The wall of glass windows seems to stretch out infinitely on either side of them, the sun streaming in, throwing the two of them into relief. At this moment, it somehow feels to Pierre as though they’re the only two people in the whole godforsaken airport, stranded here together. How could that be possible? The entire situation is unacceptable.

Dreaming in your Language

Charles/Carlos; 9k; M *grief/mourning tag “Then you have to learn Spanish for me,” Carlos says. “If you lose. You have to really learn it.” Charles draws closer to him yet again. He brings a hand up and grips the collar of Carlos’ red polo shirt. “Okay,” Charles agrees. He tugs at Carlos’ collar. “But I won’t lose.”

Franchise Tag

Charles/Carlos; 10k; M Carlos signs a new contract with Aston Martin, Ferrari is courting Alex to take his seat, and Charles has a lot of emotions about all of it. Meanwhile, maybe Charles and Carlos can work out a way to be close with each other, despite everything.

Control of the Knife

Charles/Carlos; 7.4k; M Carlos wouldn’t want him to back down. That’s their game. Carlos would never want Charles to back down against him. Carlos is unable to race in Qatar and Charles seems emotionally distant after the race. Carlos goes to Pierre and Esteban for some advice.

Wildflowers in the Desert

Charles/Carlos; 7k; M Charles ends the third practice session grumbling “yeah, whatever,” to Xavi over the radio, like a disconsolate teenager. This is why he doesn’t think in the car. What’s the point? It never does any good.

Shield our Hopes from the Raining Sky

Charles/Carlos; 4.9k; T “Something was wrong with the car,” Charles says to him. “They are working on it.” Carlos tries to reassure him. But Charles gives a violent shake of his head. It’s late at night, and it’s just the two of them here in the quiet meeting room. If they can’t speak the truth to each other now, when can they?

Purple Incense

Charles/Carlos & Carlos/Lando; 5.8k; M Maybe Charles can just move on from it, but Carlos can’t. How could he ever communicate it? Carlos always sits, crowded into the dusty pew with his sisters, as wisps of smoky incense swirl around them. “I really don’t know, Charles,” is all Carlos says.

trompe l'œil

Fernando/Esteban; 3.6k; M “Fernando,” Esteban huffs, pinching at the bridge of his nose, “what do you want? I do not have the patience right now.” Fernando is quiet for a moment. He glances at the floor and then looks back up at Esteban. His brown eyes seem to ripple with a satin sheen. “I know,” he murmurs. “You must have patience, Esteban. This is what I’ve been trying to tell you.”

[solazarslotherin]

Max x esteban. Maxteban(?). It's my main ship now. Too much lore to ignore at this point.

Just curious to know what the general consensus is on what ship/s are most popular involving Esteban! Thanks for your help. Reblog for bigger sample size, if you don't mind <3

[solazarslotherin]

I wanna video of them spend talking about cats so bad 😫

Imagine they bought their cats like a daycare kids

[solazarslotherin]

este with children 💕

[solazarslotherin]

I am bored enough for the odd Esteban/Lando dynamic to intrigue me. This is from China 2024, so they'd made up by then perhaps, haha? The last one looks a little intense.

Please someone write an au with Carlos and pierre where pierre is like yeah...no it's Esteban

I saw a tiktok that was just these two slides and let me tell you it was the wildest single swipe I’ve ever experienced.

PSA!!!!!!!!

"#anti Esteban ocon" exists for a reason

Please avoid using #esteban ocon.

Humble request :)

[solazarslotherin]

The revisionism on all the collisions of Esteban and his teammates is seriously getting out of hand, particularly the ones with Perez. People really just repeat what others say without checking the facts anymore.

Perez was the dangerous one of the two (3/4 was on Perez, 1/4 was on Esteban). Even then the one in Baku was more driver error on Esteban's part rather than agression. I can't say the same for some of Perez's.

With Alonso, those two were equally aggressive with each other, most just love to focus on Ocon's moves and not Alonso's. But lets not forget the only collission between the two, Alonso was wholly responsible for that.

Just read a thread on reddit discussing all these (Perez incidents). It's a good read if you want to properly inform your self rather than blindly repeating the popular and absolutely false narrative about Esteban.

Yes, Esteban can be aggressive at times but I swear if you count all the perceived aggressive and "dirty" driving of every driver on the grid, he ain't going to be high up the order.

[solazarslotherin]

You know what I'm mad about actually? That Esteban had to post this statement on his OWN account. All week there has been baseless rumours, clickbait articles and shit stirring from every single goddamm F1 outlet - and not just the trashy ones, we're talking about huge sources like Sky Sports! And all this because Alpine's Team Principal blasted their own driver on live TV and never bothered to issue another follow up statement clarifying his comments to stop these rumours. Alpine have had ALL WEEK to put out their own statement to squash these rumours and have decided instead to stay radio silent which has only increased the heat on Esteban. Absolute joke of a team.
