F1 Exhibition, London

I’m so so happy to have gone to the F1 exhibition today! It was so much fun.

Had a super early start this morning as we had to leave at 5:30am so was awake at 4am. Caught our bus at 6:30 and got to London at 11:30 (ish), but it was so worth it.

[sebsdaniel]

I went on a spontaneous solo trip to London yesterday to bookshop and to visit the F1 Exhibition. It was perfect 🫶🏼🥹

Worth the hassle and planning ❤️

Obvious

The world of Formula 1 was unforgiving, relentless, and absolutely cutthroat. But there was one anomaly in the paddock that no one could quite figure out: Y/N, the 22-year-old team principal of McLaren. Her rapid rise to the top was a story everyone whispered about, but no one dared to challenge.

She was brilliant, tenacious, and had an air of authority that made her presence impossible to ignore. But what truly set her apart was the way she unknowingly had every driver—and their girlfriends—wrapped around her finger. They were utterly, hopelessly obsessed with her, and Y/N remained blissfully unaware, thinking it was just the normal way people treated their boss.

Exhibit 1: Dinner with George and Carmen

It was a rare off-day between races, and Y/N found herself in London at George’s request. The Mercedes driver had insisted on taking her out to dinner with his girlfriend Carmen joining them.

“I’m glad you agreed to come, Y/N,” George smiled as he pulled out a chair for her. “You’ve been working way too hard.”

Carmen leaned in, her eyes sparkling with admiration. “Yes, you need to relax sometimes. You’re always so busy.”

Y/N chuckled, feeling a bit flustered by their attention. “Thanks, guys, but it’s all part of the job, right? I mean, this season has been crazy.”

George leaned closer, casually placing his hand on the back of her chair, his fingers brushing against her shoulder. “You’re the youngest team principal in F1 history, Y/N. You’re allowed to take a break now and then. Let us take care of you tonight.”

Carmen nodded in agreement, her hand gently squeezing Y/N’s arm. “We wouldn’t want you burning out, would we?”

Y/N smiled, feeling a warmth that she couldn’t quite place. “You guys are too sweet. I’m just trying to keep up, you know?”

The dinner passed with easy laughter and conversation, and Y/N was too busy enjoying herself to notice how both George and Carmen kept finding excuses to touch her—a hand on her arm here, a brush of fingers there. It was as if they couldn’t bear to be too far away from her.

Exhibit 2: A Mallorcan Escape with Carlos and Rebecca

The invitation had been impossible to refuse. Carlos had insisted on whisking Y/N away to Mallorca for a weekend of sun, relaxation, and good company. Rebecca was there too, constantly checking in to make sure Y/N was enjoying herself.

“This place is incredible,” Y/N said as she stepped out onto the balcony of their luxury villa, the Mediterranean Sea sparkling in the distance.

Carlos grinned, his hand resting comfortably on her lower back as he guided her to the sun lounger. “You deserve a break, Y/N. You’re always taking care of everyone else.”

Rebecca handed Y/N a cold drink, her smile warm and sincere. “Exactly. It’s our turn to look after you.”

Y/N blushed, sipping the drink as she looked out at the waves. “You guys are too nice. Honestly, I’m fine.”

Carlos laughed, sitting down beside her and casually resting his arm across the back of her chair, his fingers lightly grazing her shoulder. “Nice has nothing to do with it, Y/N. We just really enjoy spending time with you.”

Rebecca nodded, her hand resting on Y/N’s knee in a gesture that was both comforting and possessive. “We wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Y/N just smiled, thinking how lucky she was to have friends like them, completely missing the way both Carlos and Rebecca watched her every move with an intensity that went far beyond simple friendship.

Exhibit 3: Shopping Spree with Pierre and Kika

Y/N had never been a big shopper, but when Pierre and Kika insisted on a shopping trip in Milan, she couldn’t say no. The day was a blur of designer stores, laughter, and playful teasing.

“You’d look amazing in this,” Kika said, holding up a sleek black dress against Y/N.

Pierre nodded in agreement, his hand resting comfortably on Y/N’s waist as he leaned in to inspect the dress. “Try it on. We’re not leaving until you do.”

Y/N rolled her eyes playfully. “You guys are relentless. I’m supposed to be the boss, remember?”

Pierre smirked, giving her a light nudge toward the dressing room. “Not today, Y/N. Today, you’re our princess.”

Kika giggled, grabbing Y/N’s hand and dragging her along. “Exactly. And our princess needs a new wardrobe.”

Y/N couldn’t help but laugh as she tried on outfit after outfit, completely unaware of the way Pierre’s eyes lingered on her every time she emerged from the dressing room, or how Kika’s hand never left hers for long.

Exhibit 4: Movie Night with Max and Kelly

It was a cozy night in Monaco, and Max had convinced Y/N to come over for a low-key movie night. Kelly had made popcorn, and the three of them were snuggled up on the couch.

“You’ve been working too hard again,” Kelly said, her voice soft as she adjusted the blanket around Y/N’s shoulders. “You need to relax.”

Max nodded, his arm stretched along the back of the couch, his fingers gently playing with the ends of Y/N’s hair. “Yeah, you need to slow down sometimes. You’re making us all look bad.”

Y/N laughed, pulling the blanket tighter around herself. “Oh, please. You guys are the ones driving the cars at insane speeds every weekend.”

Max grinned, his hand dropping to rest on her shoulder, squeezing lightly. “And you’re the one making all the tough calls. That’s way more stressful.”

Kelly leaned in closer, her head resting lightly against Y/N’s. “We’re just glad you’re here. We love spending time with you.”

Y/N smiled, thinking how comforting it was to have Max and Kelly around. She missed the way Max’s thumb traced circles on her shoulder and the way Kelly’s fingers intertwined with hers under the blanket, as if they were afraid to let her go.

Exhibit 5: Yacht Day with Charles and Alexandra

When Charles invited Y/N out on his yacht, she thought it would be a casual day in the sun. But from the moment she stepped on board, she realized she was in for something far more luxurious.

“This is… wow,” Y/N breathed, taking in the sight of the pristine white yacht against the crystal blue waters of the French Riviera.

Charles smiled, his hand lingering on the small of her back as he guided her to a sunbed. “Only the best for our favorite team principal.”

Alexandra appeared with drinks, offering one to Y/N with a bright smile. “You deserve this, Y/N. You never take time for yourself.”

Y/N settled onto the sunbed, feeling the warmth of the sun and the company of her friends. “You guys are always spoiling me. I’m really not that special.”

Charles chuckled, leaning back beside her, his leg brushing against hers. “Oh, but you are, Y/N. You’re the heart of the paddock.”

Alexandra nodded in agreement, her hand resting comfortably on Y/N’s as they basked in the sun. “And we all adore you.”

Y/N blushed, not quite understanding why they were always so kind, but grateful all the same.

---

Exhibit 6: Golfing with Alex and Lily

Golf wasn’t Y/N’s sport, but when Alex and Lily insisted on a day out on the greens, she couldn’t say no. The trio laughed their way through the course, with Alex playfully showing Y/N how to swing properly, his hands guiding hers.

“You’ve got this, Y/N,” Alex said, his chest pressed against her back as he adjusted her stance. “Just focus.”

Y/N laughed, her cheeks flushed from the proximity. “You make it look so easy.”

Lily watched them with a knowing smile, resting her hand on Y/N’s shoulder. “You’ll get the hang of it. You’re already a pro at everything else.”

Y/N shook her head, trying to concentrate as Alex’s touch sent an unexpected thrill through her. “You guys are way too nice to me.”

Alex and Lily exchanged a look, one that Y/N missed entirely as she tried to focus on her swing. They were both addicted to her presence, to the way she brightened every room she walked into.

---

As the season went on, Y/N continued to be the center of attention in ways she never quite understood. Every driver and their partners found excuses to spend time with her, to touch her, to keep her close. And though she often felt overwhelmed by their affection, she chalked it up to just having great friends in the paddock.

But to everyone else, it was clear: Y/N wasn’t just a team principal. She was the object of an unspoken obsession, the one person they all couldn’t bear to be without. And whether she realized it or not, they were all just a little bit in love with her.

[gr8ntaire]

[bigshunt]

Omg it's race week?! Why did nobody tell me! 💁‍♀️

Abu Dhabi predictions let's goooo!

I'm super late this week so my "no nuance" top 3 has a little nuance as it comes to you post quali lol. But as always still powered by hopes and vibes.

- Oscar

- Charles

- Nico

Sillies below!

🚗🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎

Realistic

- The evil papaya team win the WCC. great for me, terrible for everyone else because Z*k will never stfu about it, but we move.

- Both Saubers get points.

Unrealistic

- Charles storms the field and makes it to the podium. FORZA FERRARI SEMPRE. CHARLES LECLERC AND INSHALLAH!

- The Williams both finish the race unscathed. Come on boys.

Unhinged

- Williams podium. (Franco specifically pops the fuck off and finishes top 5. At least. PLLEEEAASSE this would be beautiful)

- K-mag podium.

🚗🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎

I would also like to remind you all I predicted Max's retirement announcement for the end of the year. This is looking less likely based on comments made yesterday but I'm still somewhat convinced 🤷‍♀️. Holding out until the prize giving ceremony, then I will admit defeat.

Omg hi! Sorry this is so so late! I'm on holiday with family and honestly didn't think I was going put out predictions this week but the lovely @delicatetrashtree messaged me to say this is one of the highlights of their race week. (Omg what?!) And I just thought that was sooo sweet, I decided to throw together something quick and dirty before the actual race tomorrow.

Sorry to anyone who was waiting for this. Honestly I didn't realise anybody gave a fuck haha. I've enjoyed making these a lot and really looking forward to doing one for every race in 2025! 🥰

I thought I wasn't going to be able to watch the race but in a sick twist of irony I'm actually visiting the F1 exhibition in London tomorrow (very hype) during the race. So I'm hoping they will be showing it and I can actually watch, with my dad! Which would be fun, since I haven't watched a race with him since I was a little kid.

[russilton]

More very beautiful things I got to see today, including one of Lewis’ cars, itty bitty Lewis karting gear, one of Senna’s cars, the real Silverstone trophy, and what COULD have been the real WDC trophy but also could have been a replica

And Gewis Helmets, with the we race as one strip on George’s

All at the F1 Exhibition currently at the London Excel, worth it if you can afford it (or if someone else pays your ticket like I had)

F1 exhibition in London / 03.02.25

[meganmarshall]

I NEED to go to the F1 exhibition in London but have no friends who enjoy f1… how do I trick my friends into coming with??

[racingliners]

So the F1 Exhibition in London closes in 2nd March. Do I go on a solo trip to London just for this?

[existentialcrisistime]

Hello I am back from London and it is fuckin freezing here (literally the ambient temperature of the house when I walked in was 7°c, which I think is too few degrees for a house to have), but I am glad to be back!

I will share more exciting things when I have thawed and recovered and got my film developed, but my 48h in London included:

train cancellation, adopting a confused couple of tourists from Boston, and then ending up with a cushy LNER table seat for my troubles

being full of (tofu noodle) soup, cooked by a friend, just like the poem says

being slightly better at sharing a bed with the above friend than last time I was in London (I at least remembered how to breathe this time)

Experiencing the Elizabeth line for the first time (my review: bit weird, feels too sci-fi for me actually)

F1 Exhibition!

Getting overwhelmed in said F1 Exhibition bc I was so full of excitement and wonder, but I'd been in there three hours with no food or water and then my camera ran out of battery, so I had to have some Emotions in a corner whilst lulled by the dulcet tones of Bernie Collins

Stepping outside the exhibition space to the most beautiful sunset across the water

Getting questioned by plainclothes cops bc supposedly some nosey Parker had reported me for "taking pictures of things people don't normally take pictures of" (the beautiful cable stayed bridge at the waterfront) (the cops went away knowing new facts about cable stayed bridges) (the one time I'm left unattended in London and I get myself into trouble, of course)

Attending the TDOR vigil in Soho, hearing many excellent and minorly famous trans folk speak, collectively all freezing our tits off

Having a really nice wander around Shoreditch and feeling cool and fashionable or whatever

Visiting Jen Orpin's solo show! Beautiful, would recommend

Leaving my train meal deal at King's Cross Station and having to survive until I got home to Scotland without a single sandwich (I lived)

& now I am ready to sleep for a week (but unfortunately have work tomorrow).

Pls also enjoy these two memes I made to process the big emotions I had at the ExCeL Centre

F1 LONDON EXHIBIT WAS GUD

[expatesque]

Monthly Recap - March

Read

The Nine Tailors, Dorothy L Sayers: Such fun. If you like Agatha, you'll like Dorothy. Lord Peter Wimsey is an incredible name for a detective, and he does not disappoint. This mystery in particular was really good, complicated and intricate.

Watched

Prime Target on Apple: Started off really strong, got a little crazy, but contained beautiful scenes of Cam generally and Downing in particular. I probably need to go back soon.

A lot of F1, so happy the season's back!

Did

Attended: Merce Cunningham Forever at Saddler's Wells (truly a tale of two halves, hated the first piece and quite liked the second), Hadestown (saw this before it went to Broadway, have been obsessed ever since. Really loved the new London cast, can't recommend enough!)

Listened: World Music on BBC Radio 3 - I've been listening to this for a few years now but got back into it this month. I particularly like Lopa Kothari's episodes (and I find her voice very soothing). Always interesting, perfect accompaniment to reading World of Interiors on a Sunday morning.

Had a job interview and did all the prep for that.

Goals and monthly poll under the cut.

Last Month’s Goals

☑️Use all class pass classes: Pretty good on this this month, it's good to keep moving in different ways.

☑️Read a book: Yes, see above.

☑️New Recipes x4: Mexican style pressure cooker black beans (meh), new type of Mexican chicken filling (meh), tamarind and shrimp stew (Ottelenghi, delicious and unique, would probably freeze well ex-shrimp), crispy potato salad (no specific recipe, lots of similar ones online, hell yes).

☑️Go to a new museum: Eltham Palace down passed Greenwich, which I'm now completely obsessed with. One of my favorite places ever.

☑️Go to an Exhibition: None of the major exhibitions were speaking to me this month. Has anyone been to Siena at the National Gallery?

☑️Go to a show: Double tick, see above.

❌Crochet: Hard as it gets warmer, but manageable!

❌Write More: C'est la vie.

❌Lay morning foundation: Terrible! Jet lag doesn't help.

☑️Budget: Yup, but sick of this.

❌Memorize a poem: I think this needs to be bi-monthly, so 6 for the year. I've got one, by the end of April I need another.

🟧Russian flashcards: Doing better.

❌Screen time: Got better, then worse in Chicago with jet lag and too much driving.

☑️Job prep: Yes, big tick.

🟧World of Interiors: Okay not quite but! I'm finishing it on the plane today.

☑️ Nutrition: Largely good, but hard while I've been at home home.

🟧Postcard: Wrote but didn't send! Didn't have time before heading back to Chicago, will do first thing when I get back.
