Come On Over And Ruin My Life aka The one where I write chemaxiel. That's it. That's the fic. Word Count: 5175. Read on AO3 here!
There are several instances where Checo has wondered what his life has come to. For example, when he won in 2020 for the first time after 190 races, when he became a Red Bull driver, when he won in Monaco last year, and quite depressingly now, as he watches Max and Daniel flirt with each other.
Don't get Checo wrong he isn't jealous, he just feels a little left out, like he's a constant third wheel now that Daniel has rejoined Red Bull. It's kind of an open secret in the paddock that those two are dating, and have been since 2019, though Max has mentioned that they were hooking up since a certain crash the year prior. And Checo gets it, they click well and look really good together, especially when they laugh. So no, he is not jealous of their relationship.
The feeling of being left out does confuse him though. He had thought about it in the privacy of his hotel room after a day of recording and has come to the conclusion that he doesn't want neither Daniel nor Max to be less themselves, but he wants to be included in it. This then throws him through another loop because he ends up imagining all three of them laughing at something or being huddled together in some corner of the paddock as they gossip about whatever stupid strategy Ferrari tried that day. An even scarier thought is the picture his mind paints of the three of them cuddled onto one sofa watching some bullshit telenovela with English captions, Daniel's head in his lap and Max leaning into his side.
He can't, no he won't, dwell on it. He refuses to. He's friends, teammates, with them. He's not looking to insert himself into their relationship. He just wants to feel a tiny bit more included when they have to do media events or are at the factory. He doesn't need to be taken to their dates only to be walking behind them on the pavement.
Besides, are 3 people relationships even a thing? Can you even want more than 1 person at the same time? Is that allowed? He has no problem with being queer (he is bisexual after all) but falling for two men simultaneously has Checo all sorts of extra confused.
"Checo!" Max shakes him out of his thoughts, "wanna grab dinner after the race with Daniel and I?"
Checo shakes his head, "I don't wanna intrude, it's okay. I have things I could be doing anyway." He really doesn't want to see Daniel and Max share inside jokes the whole night while he pokes at some overpriced pasta.
Max nods slowly, "ah... alright. Just- You know that- nevermind." Checo watches as Max leaves, Daniel latching onto his arm before he finishes turning the corner.
Checo sighs to himself. He really needs to sort himself out before this spirals...
And spiral it does. It has gotten to a point where Daniel and Max are in his dreams. His dreams! Checo is no blushing virgin either so he has woken up to several wet dreams where he has either been fucked by Max or had his cock sucked by Daniel, the other one always watching and running their hands along his body, providing another source of stimulation. Rather embarrassingly, he ends up rutting against the mattress or into his hand until he comes after he wakes up.
He walks into Red Bull's facilities trying not to think about it as Daniel slings an arm over his shoulder and starts talking about a bird he saw last night. Checo, drawn to the warmth of Daniel, can't find it in himself to move away. He listens and adds in the occasional "yeah?" to keep Daniel talking and giggles (?!) at some of the lame jokes he makes.
What's worse is that he doesn't let go when he spots Max, he just drags him over and only moves his arm so his fingers can play with Checo's curls on the back of his neck which has his cheeks turning every shade of red. Max doesn't seem to mind, and just continues chatting to them as if this is totally normal.
How? How can they be so relaxed about this and not... he doesn't know, jealous? annoyed? Daniel is being clingy with him and not his boyfriend! Shouldn't Max be glaring holes in to his skull by now?
And Checo? Checo is too selfish to push himself away. This is what he wants after all, to be included in their interactions and not be standing off to the side and it feels so good to be standing there, talking mindlessly with the two of them. When he talks he can feel the attention of both of them like they value and treasure every word. It's addicting to have the one thing he craved all season.
"Dan, look at him. He's turned in to a tomato," Max chuckles, noticing Checo's blush.
Daniel's fingers still as he looks over Checo's face, "oops! But Maxy, it's a lovely colour on him."
Max hums and smiles, "it goes well with his freckles."
Checo blinks, his brain not connecting to his mouth - unable to form any response. It's like he bluescreened under their attention. Oh God, he is failing miserably to be normal.
Daniel's phone pings. "Ah shucks, I have to leave. Media just can't get enough of this handsome face." He detaches himself from Checo, pecks Max on the lips as Max rolls his eyes fondly. Then, he takes Checo's hand, pressing his lips to the back of it before saying "later gentlemen," and jogging off.
Checo remains frozen in place, completely floored by the last 5 minutes. He waits to see if Max get's angry or annoyed by whatever happened but... nothing. Max just smiles at him, and wraps his hand gently around his wrist as he pulls him over to their garage.
Which... what the fuck?
"Aren't you mad?" he eventually gets out as they loiter around Max's car and look at datasheets.
Max turns around and tilts his head, "mad about what? The car is doing brilliantly and we're getting podiums and wins. What's there to be mad about?"
"I meant Daniel when he... y'know." Checo vaguely gestures to his hand.
"Oh, no." Max says before he goes back to what he was doing.
Checo furrows his brows, not understanding. He doesn't say anything else and goes over to his own car and try not to think about it.
Later, he sits with his lunch, picking at the crust of his sandwich while he thinks about Daniel and Max, who take up more and more of his thoughts. They're including him more, and have been over the last few weeks since Max invited him to dinner. This is all nice and he feels a lot better generally speaking. However, he can't seem to understand what Max and Daniel want from him. The goal was not to intrude on their relationship but they seem insistent on dragging him into it.
Sighing, he pulls out his phone and googles (in an incognito tab obviously) 'can 3 people be in one relationship?'
The answer pops up on his screen and Checo doesn't know what to think.
Polyamory, or consensual nonmonogamy, is the practice of having multiple intimate relationships, whether sexual or just romantic, with the full knowledge and consent of all parties involved. Polyamory is generally not gender-specific; anyone can have multiple partners of any gender.
So, yes, it totally is a thing. He could feasibly date both Max and Daniel without any of them cheating on each other. He continues scrolling, going through reddit and other sites of similar natures where people recount how they fell in love with multiple people at the same time and enjoy being romantically (and sexually) involved with more than one person at once. Some of the stories are really heart-warming actually. Could he have that?
He turns his phone off and bites the corner of his sandwich. Do Daniel and Max even want him? He thinks they do, but there's this lingering doubt that they couldn't possibly. After all, what are the chances that both of them like him too? They've been going strong for 4 years, why change that now?
"Checo," Max sits opposite him with his own food, "I've been looking for you."
"Where else would I be?" Checo replies rhetorically.
Max lets out an amused huff, "good point."
"So," he says after swallowing another bite of sandwich, "what did you wanna find me for?"
Max nods to himself and pushes his food to the side so he can lean forward a bit. "Look, I know the first time you said no so we decided to keep it more lowkey this time. Do you want to come and watch some trashy Netflix movie Daniel picks out in his hotel room tonight? Just us three, and probably some popcorn that will have our trainers annoyed at us. Totally chill, and neither of us will take offence if you say no but we do want you there and-"
"Yes."
"Huh?"
Checo clears his throat and looks directly at Max. "I said yes. I mean, I third wheel all the time but I enjoy hanging out with you guys." He picks up his tray and stands, "text me the time and room number, yeah?"
He barely catches Max's "okay," as he leaves. He makes it back to his driver's room and locks the door, leaning back against it as he sighs. Why on God's green earth did he say yes? He's just going to be sat on the edge of a sofa awkwardly with a bowl of popcorn as Max and Daniel cuddle up together.
However, he remembers the image his brain conjured of the three of them together, and the revelation that he most likely (read: definitely) has a crush on the both of them deludes him in to thinking that it won't be like that at all. That all of the recent interactions mean something. Please, let them mean something because Checo doesn't know what to do if it doesn't.
At 8pm that night, Checo is standing outside room 411 checking and double checking his phone to ensure that he has the right information. He knows Max didn't make a mistake, he's just nervous and has to force himself out of it so he can at least pretend to be somewhat normal. He's in his thirties for fucks sake and yet he's acting like he's a teenager who's experiencing his first crush.
Still, he knocks on the door. Daniel swings it open and looks absolutely thrilled to see him, which is nice.
"Checo! Glad you actually rocked up. Maxy was worrying you would bail."
"Hey no!" Max protests in the background.
Daniel doesn't pay any attention to him, "you look good! Now come in and sit your pretty ass on the sofa and pick a movie."
Checo nods, not trusting his mouth to not say something like 'would rather sit my pretty ass on you' because he is only here to be a friend. He plops on the sofa, noticing a folded blanket resting on one arm. He runs his fingers over the fabric, enjoying the soft feel of it when Max comes in.
Max plucks the TV remote from somewhere out of Checo's view and hands it to him, sitting to his left. "I don't have high standards just as long as it's something better than Daniel's 80s flicks. He claims that they're 'classics' even though they're really cringe."
"You say that as if you weren't humming grease lightning for a week." Daniel says, holding the biggest bowl of popcorn Checo has ever seen. Of course, Daniel notices his expression and shrugs, setting the popcorn down and sitting on Checo's right, "we do this often."
"I see..." Checo acknowledges. He starts flicking through Netflix, ignoring Daniel going "pick this!" and Max replying with "do not pick that."
It got tiring after a while and Checo had enough. "Both of you just stop talking right now. We're watching Lego Batman, end of discussion." There was no reason why Lego Batman was chosen other than it happened to be the one the remote cursor was on. Besides, both Max and Daniel seem satisfied.
The movie starts and Daniel almost immediately dives for the popcorn bowl. Max grabs the blanket and unfolds it, then throws one end over towards Daniel so it stretches across the three of them. The thing is, the sofa is not designed for three grown men, so everything is a tight fit. Meaning, Checo can feel Max's thigh against his own and Daniel's arm against his. It's so warm, but not stifling nor uncomfortable. It's warm in a way that he gets a swooping sensation in his stomach and the heat rises into his cheeks.
Daniel holds the bowl out to him and Max, and Max takes a handful, leaning closer to Checo in the process before easing up a little. They both seem so comfortable around him, which is good obviously, but he feels like he's in the middle of their relationship, physically too. Though, they don't say anything and just watch the movie quietly, shifting around occasionally (this is mostly Daniel) while Checo is internally screaming 'what do you want from me?'
Because this isn't third wheeling. No, rather he feels that he is equal with them. It feels like a date or some domestic scene that could easily happen in one of their apartments. And Checo cannot bring himself to melt into the moment or even enjoy the movie he picked as the dreaded question of 'what is this?' is on the tip of his tongue the whole time.
The movie itself is fun, and nice and just the right amount of simple where you didn't have to focus too hard to understand what is going on, which is good because Daniel drops his head on Checo's shoulder, pulling his end of the blanket up to the base of his neck.
"This ok?" Daniel whispers.
"Yeah..." is all Checo can think of saying. Daniel then settles and molds himself into Checo's side, one of his hands resting on his thigh. Checo can feel every point of contact like it burns through his clothes and onto his skin. He looks at Max expecting to see annoyance or hurt at the fact his boyfriend his being so cuddly and Checo isn't making any move to stop it, but Max looks fond, like the two of them being like this is - in his words - simply lovely.
Perhaps there is no harm in just taking this for granted. If he doesn't think about it too much, it is really nice to be hugged by Daniel. Checo slowly wraps his arm around Daniel's waist to hold him against his side and Daniel hums contentedly, pleased with the development.
'Just for now,' Checo thinks, 'then I have to do something about this.' Of course, Max choses that exact moment to shift and prop his legs on Checo's lap and lean his back over the arm of the sofa and close his eyes. Daniel feels Checo tense and rubs small circles into his thigh in an attempt to calm him. It works a bit but not enough to stop him from asking "what are we doing?"
"Chilling, cuddling, watching Batman," Max says, stating the obvious.
"No, no, that doesn't help, that's not-" Checo sighs, agitated, before pushing the blanket off him and standing, effectively shoving Max and Daniel off of him. He turns around to face them and takes in their confused expressions. Good, now they know how he feels.
"What's wrong?" Daniel asks, sitting up properly.
Checo laughs wryly, "what's wrong? What's wrong?! Mierda, I can't even begin to describe what the fuck is going on because I have no clue!" His voices raises in frustration but he can't bring himself to care, pacing and gesturing wildly as everything comes pouring out at once.
"I used to feel like such a third wheel with you two but then you started dragging me in to your relationship which is so weird? I initially just wanted to be your friend but this got me feeling all sorts of things that I shouldn't and you refuse to elaborate on it! You just do these things instead of communicating what it is you want from me and now I don't know where I stand or what I should do with you two. It makes me want to kick myself because despite all of that I've caught feelings for the both of you and can't bring myself to hate you at all for any of it. And now? Now you're looking at me as if I'm the one who doesn't make any sense. ¡No los entiendo a ustedes dos y me está destrozando! Y no puedo permitirme el lujo de ser algo en lo que estás interesado brevemente antes de pasar a la siguiente. ¡No seré una conexión para ustedes dos! Me merezco más que eso."
Checo breathes, re-centering himself after accidentally slipping back in to Spanish, before looking and Max and Daniel, who appear less confused and more guilty. "You have no right," Checo finishes in English, "to play with my feelings."
He doesn't waste much time after that and heads for the door, not bothering to hear them out.
Max gets up first. "Checo, wait-"
"Just... stop." He twists the doorhandle and leaves.
He doesn't go back to his hotel room. He can't bring himself to just lie in bed and wallow (and maybe cry). Besides, that would be the first place Max and Daniel look if they chase after him, and right now he doesn't want to see them.
He ends up leaving the hotel and wandering around until he finds a park and sits down on a bench, looking up at the night sky. He couldn't see any stars despite the lack of clouds. That really is just the cherry on top of this disaster cake.
"Checo?"
He lowers his gaze and looks around, the voice lacking a Dutch or Australian twang. He ends up locking eyes with Alex Albon.
"Alex? What are you doing here?" he asks.
Alex chuckles, "could ask you the same thing." He gestures to the empty spot on the bench, "can I?"
Checo nods and for a while neither of them say anything. Just two drivers sat in the middle of a park at night, totally normal. Though, as sarcastic as that sentiment may be, it is probably one of the most normal things that have happened in the past few weeks.
"Why are you here?" Alex says eventually. "Don't get me wrong, I am not judging your choices but something seems to be bothering you. If you want to share that, you can."
"It's... complicated."
"I can do complicated. Lily says that I'm a good listener. Might be nice to get it off your chest."
Checo looks at Alex and sighs, "where do I start? It's Max and Daniel."
"Oh boy. I am far to familiar with those two than I'd like to be."
"How so?"
Alex winces, as if the memory is slightly painful. "Of course, I was Max's teammate before you. I have caught them fucking on almost every surface in the garage and hospitalities."
"Even the car?"
"On multiple occasions," Alex grimaces. "Heck, I'm pretty sure I only saw half the story. I don't wanna know what the poor Renault staff have seen. Though, I suppose it's worse for you now that Daniel is back at the factory too."
"It's not that bad for me actually. I think someone had a word with them when Daniel resigned, though when Daniel was at McLaren I did hear them. But honestly," Checo admits, "that isn't even the problem. I think I'm the problem."
"How so?"
"I... fuck, I fell for them."
"Like, in love with both of them? At the same time?"
"Yes, exactly that."
Alex doesn't look too shocked, but still relatively surprised. His face then settles into a look of contemplation. "That must be tricky. I didn't even know you liked men."
"I'm bisexual. Anyway, these past few weeks have been weird because I like both of them and I can't tell what they want from me. They just suddenly tried to put me in their relationship or at least want to hook up or something and yet they make no move to explain any of it. They didn't even talk to me. They just are very... physical? I mean touchy, and also they have just invited me on their dates and... yeah."
Alex nods, processing it all, then says, "I assume something happened tonight?"
"I snapped," Checo admits before telling Alex every detail. Alex doesn't judge, just sits and listens. When Checo is done, it feels like a weight has been lifted off of his chest and he can finally breathe again. It still stings though, but is less crushing and the relief of it all makes tears spring in his eyes.
"Oh mate," Alex says and slings an arm around Checo's shoulders, pulling him into his side. Checo relaxes into the comfort given. His shoulders sag, a few tears eventually falling and he just feels so, so tired.
They stay like that for a while before Alex says, "they're idiots, you know."
"Hmm?"
"Max and Daniel," Alex says. "They clearly do like you the way you like them but are trying to get together with you the same way they did, which is fucking stupid. They should've just talked with you properly, but you also need to not put yourself down as much. You're a great person and you deserve respect and clarity, so don't feel bad about snapping at them. They had it coming."
"Thank you," is all Checo can reply with, because Alex has really been an amazing friend tonight.
They end up hanging out for a while, turns out Alex just can't sleep and got bored, before Checo finds his way back to his hotel room. He collapses back in his bed absolutely exhausted and welcomes sleep easily.
The next day, with a formed plan in mind, Checo immediately walks up to both of them and simply tells them "room 443, after all this." He doesn't linger, and goes back to discussing strategies and car development with his engineers. He can feels their eyes on him throughout the day, and sometimes he stares back as if he's daring them to do something. They never do. Instead, they flush red, like they're a naughty kid having an extra cookie, and look in any and all directions par at Checo. It's kind of cute.
Not even 15 minutes after Checo makes it back to his hotel room, he hears a rapid knocking. He opens the door to see Max and Daniel. Daniel is pulling on the edges on his hoodie and Max is indiscreetly holding flowers behind his back.
"Come in," Checo says, careful to make voice even. He closes the door and Max hands him the flowers.
"We're-" Max starts.
"Thank you for these, they're very pretty." Checo interrupts before gently placing them down on a side table. "You two are now going to sit down and have one chance to explain everything. No arguments. Only then will I decide what happens next."
Max and Daniel sit down without complaint and Checo stands before them, hands on his hips as he waits for them to start.
They look at each other before Daniel speaks up, "we are so sorry for hurting you."
Max nods, "yeah, we are. We didn't intentionally mean to confuse you. We just wanted you."
Checo raises and eyebrow and looks between both of them, silently telling them to continue.
"It's gonna sound a bit crazy but we both want a relationship with you," Daniel continues, "Max and I still love each other, but we also really like you. We thought if we just slowly integrate you into our dynamic it won't be as weird?"
"Yeah, and do things like how me and Daniel originally got together," Max adds.
Holy shit, Alex hit the nail on the head. They do like him, and they were just being stupid about it.
"And we were a bit scared of asking you about it," Max finishes.
"Fuck, yeah, I mean what are the odds that not only do Max and I like you but that you also like both of us?" Daniel asks in a way that he tries to pass as a rhetoric joke but Checo can hear the sincerity in it. They don't think they're affections are returned, especially now they aren't in Checo's good books.
But, oh, how wrong they are. Checo's heart leaps now he knows that that they like him in all the same ways.
"Pretty high, probably at about 100%" Checo smiles at them.
Max's gaze snaps up from his lap and Daniel looks like Checo just told him the answer to life's biggest mystery.
"Now, I am still a little mad that you guys decided it was smarter to play with my feelings than just straight up tell me," Checo clarifies. Daniel and Max frown. "But," Checo continues, walking around and toward the bedroom, "I think there's a way you can make it up to me." He winks then chuckles upon seeing Max and Daniel quickly scramble towards him.
Checo sits in the middle of the bed, "come here and kiss me then I will forgive you."
Max doesn't waste much time, immediately going over to hold Checo's face and kiss him. Max kisses how he drives: determined and passionate. It makes Checo's body flush with warmth, especially when Max's tongue touches his lips. Checo opens them and softly gasps at the feeling of Max's tongue in his mouth. Eventually, he gently pushes Max off and beckons Daniel over.
Checo moves to sit in Daniel's lap and kiss him instead. Daniel kisses him with a lot more gentleness than Max, but with equal passion. He can feel Max watching them and hears him shift closer, putting his arms around Checo's chest and start kissing down the side his neck, sucking lightly where his neck meets his shoulder, causing Checo to moan into Daniel's mouth and shift his hips a little which earns him a soft groan in response.
The feeling of both of them on him, kissing, touching, loving, is just addictive. He wants more and can feel from where he’s sat on Daniel’s lap and how Max has slinked a hand under his shirt, running his fingers up his torso and down again, that they are all in the same boat on this.
"Can we..." Max says against his skin, fingers travelling down to slightly dip under his waistband.
Checo gets the message, disconnecting his lips from Daniels to reply with more desperation than he'd like to admit, "fuck me."
It takes a bit to figure out their dynamics and learn what everyone likes but it ends with Daniel's fingers up Checo's ass before Max fucks him, and Checo sucking Daniel's cock as Max thrusts in to him. They were probably loud, and Checo definitely has a collection of hickeys covering the base of his throat and down over his pecs, but Checo cannot bring himself to care. He falls asleep just as Max cleans him and Daniel up.
The next morning when they’re all awake, naked and cuddled together on Checo’s hotel bed, Max asks, “Do you forgive us?”
Checo smiles up at Max from where he lies on Max’s chest and presses a chaste kiss to Max’s jaw then takes Daniel’s hand and places a kiss to his palm. “Mis amores, I forgive you, did a long while ago, and I want you. This wasn’t a one time thing for me.”
“It’s not for us,” Daniel says from the other side of Max, looking right into Checo's eyes, “never has been.”
“I’m glad.” Checo sighs and cuddles closer to the two of them.
He sees Alex in the paddock that morning. Alex waves at him and makes his way over. "You alright mate?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty great. You were right by the way."
Alex grins, "told you so." He looks at something on Checo's neck and waggles his eyebrows teasingly, "looks like you had fun last night."
Checo chuckles and adjusts the collar of his Red Bull polo, better covering what he knows is a hickey. "I did. We had a talk before we left about what we are and what we wanted out of all this," Checo looks around for any boom mics or cameras - he's clear, "they're my boyfriends."
"That's awesome mate, I'm happy for you. You guys are gonna be the best trio Red Bull have seen!" Alex claps him on the back.
"Thank you," Checo smiles.
Alex nods, "see you on track!" Checo watches him go back to Williams.
An arm slings over his shoulder and Checo grins, immediately knowing who it is.
"All good?" Daniel asks. Checo's chest floods with warmth and love. They haven't said 'I love you', not yet. It's still fresh for the three of them, but Checo has no doubt that eventually they will get there.
Checo nudges him with the side of his hip, "perfect, you?"
"Never better, love. Now come on, let's find Maxy. Can't wait to see you kill it on track," Daniel says, guiding him back over to Red Bull where Max is leaning against a wall, race suit already on and talking to a mechanic.
"Special delivery of one driver!" Daniel announces dramatically, gesturing to Checo.
Max's face lights up, quickly finishing up his conversation and manoeuvring through the garage to see them. "You doing okay? I mean it might not have been our smartest idea to... before a race."
"You mean how I will have to sit in a car for two hours with a sore ass?" Checo smirks, not even bothering to lower his tone around the mechanics.
"Oh my god..." Daniel groans quietly.
"Yes that," Max mumbles, cheeks flushed all red.
Checo giggles, "I will be fine."
"That's great then, love," Daniel smiles, "now go suit up. Don't want Marko to come after you."
Checo nods and makes his way back to his drivers room, hands brushing his boyfriends' as a subtle romantic goodbye.
He can't be too obvious, that much is a given, but given how Max and Daniel had established themselves as being very touchy-feely 'friends' so perhaps he could find out what he could get away with in the future.
And wow, to think about them in the future makes his heart flutter. This is real. This is the start of something solid. He knows it won't be easy for a multitude of reasons but those seem like future obstacles that he believes they should be able to overcome. He feels lighter, more than he has in a while and something tells him 2023 will be good year.

Team USA (AA23)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Part of the Blind Items Series [can be read on its own])
Summary: Blind items is back with a new victim, Alex Albon and his American Mclaren race engineer of a girlfriend. With the news comes a very interesting Team Torque episode.
Tumblr media
Logan laughed when he saw the tweet. He had been making fun of Alex for his newfound patriotism. Since Alex had started having feelings for this girl, he had been asking Logan for help trying to ‘woo’ her, as if Logan hasn’t actually lived in the US since he was twelve. But his teammate helped him, happy that Alex was not teasing him about America anymore. 
Team Torque:
“Hello everyone, this is Team Torque with Alex and Logan. We are here with our very own special guest! She is a race engineer for McLaren”
“And you girlfriend.” Logan quickly adds.
“And my girlfriend. Thanks for the help Logan.” Alex says, sarcastically. “As usual, this podcast is a mess and will probably not be getting better so apologies for that.”
“We aren’t the best hosts.” Logan adds.
“No we are not. Moving on, would you like to introduce yourself?” Alex asks.
“Yes! Thank you boys. As they said, I am a race engineer for Mclaren.”
“And my girlfriend.” Alex interrupts, copying Logan's previous remark.
“And Alex’s girlfriend.”
“And a fellow American.” Logan adds. 
“Would you boys like to introduce me instead? You seem to be so enthusiastic about it.” She jokes.
Alex had been begging for a while to have her on Team Torque. The team had said if they wanted a race engineer they should have one of their own but both him and Logan were insistent that she join them. After the rumors came out, Williams decided it was best if they brought her to gain control of the narrative again. It helped that she was already well loved by the Williams crew. While she would never help them, as that would be traitorous to her beloved team, she had made friends with a few of the other engineers and had jokingly been offered a job by James Vowles a few times. 
“Sorry honey, we are just excited.” Alex said.
“Yeah! Team America back together.” Logan enthusiastically added. The two had become close since they met, giving Alex a taste of his own medicine by making fun of his ‘Britishness’. He wasn’t too happy at their joint effort to make fun of him but he supposed that it was a good thing they got along so well. 
“Anyway, go on, say a bit about yourself.”
“Okay, as mentioned I am from the US. I was born and raised in New York.”
“Yuck” Logan teased.
“Don’t even start Florida man. I worked for Arrow McLaren’s IndyCar team in the same position, shoutout to my IndyCar family, I love you all lots. Then eventually Zak Brown asked me to come to F1 and I happily joined. Through working for them I met Lando who introduced me to Alex and a few years later we now both live in Monaco together.”
“How was the switch to F1 from IndyCar?” Logan asked.
“Rough at first. IndyCar has a much different sort of atmosphere than Formula 1 as well as fanbase. Plus moving out of the US for the first time was difficult. But it has also been such an amazing opportunity that I can’t complain too much. I am so happy where I am now.” Alex hadn’t known her when she had first gotten to Formula 1 but he had heard stories about how difficult it was. She had shared a lot with him but he also knew it was hard as he hadn't had to do the same. His experiences being a Thai and British driver had helped him understand some, but women were still such a rarity in F1, even if they preached gender equality in the sport, they didn't actually do as much as they could to make it a safe space for women to work. He also realized why she and Logan got along so well. Even if they hadn’t grown up close to each other, their shared identity of being an American in a primarily European sport had brought them together. 
The interviewing portion stopped after there, as Alex and Logan were terrible interviewers, but the conversations were still entertaining and it had become viral once it was uploaded. Viewers were excited to see Alex and his girlfriend, as well as Team USA.

wagging
4:38 p.m. October 13 on land somewhere
I was honestly so intrigued by how many people seem to hate Kelly and Max together. I always give things like this a grain of salt, especially with WAGs, since girls always get the brunt of the hate when it comes to high-profile sport couples, because these men are "successful" in a heteronormative sense (they are physically fit and able-bodied, in a male-dominated sport etc.) and therefore the public wants whoever is their partner is to be the same type of successful (beautiful, single, and complements something of the guys' persona). Especially since he's a Libra sun lmao, these signs tend to get the absolute shit if their partners don't "match" them, a manifestation of Venus and Saturn's hatred of non-symmetry.
I've only been interested in F1 for a week, and am just catching up to the dense lore of this highly exclusive and limiting sport, and like any other person I pick my favorites for the most arbitrary reasons- Lewis Hamilton, because he dated my FIlipina queen Nicole Scherzinger, and is probably the only POC driver on the grid who I know actively speaks up on social issues at risk to himself and his career; Alex Albon for consciously choosing to be a Southeast Asian king as well as being a loud and proud WAG to Lily He; and Max Verstappen, for featuring in Cleo Abrams' F1 videos (which kickstarted my interest in this sport in the first place).
But I am of course wondering why people don't like Max's girlfriend. Or at least, the internet circles that I am in don't have a favorable view of her.
(The internet circles I am in talk about her father supporting the Brazilian fascist Bolsonaro, as well as her liking her father's post referring to the Black/mixed race driver on the grid using a racial slur, and Max supporting the PR statement released about that. But I am not talking about my beloved mutuals and our anger at white supremacy somehow finding its fucking way in all aspects of the world. I am talking about the girlies who absolutely hate Kelly just for being Max's girlfriend, when there are tons of reasons we really should just not care about them, or the sport at all.)
It baffled me because on paper M/K are arguably good- both creatures of the racing track, successful scions of F1 families. Him, the best racehorse in the racehorse competition; Her, daddy's girl who grew up around the track, respecting and admiring the horse race. He is a "successful man" in that he dedicated his life to excelling in sport, a move which fulfilled his father's wishes (a win for patriarchy), and she is a "successful woman" in that she is a conventionally attractive supermodel, did not eclipse her father's success, and had a child with a person who belonged in their sphere of influence.
And yet, this girl is haaaaated by the fans among the current WAGs. Baffling! And it's not even because she's conventionally pretty! Alex Saint-Mleux was also hated when she debuted, but the halo effect at least worked on her (a trend that fascinates me, how people also arbitrarily hate women in the spotlight, because I have never seen these F1 WAGs hang out and have fun as a group outside of the paddock and the men in their lives. If they keep their friendship private good for them, but the original WAGs of Victoria Beckham's time were pictured on their outings together... it might be because most of them are of different ages, or the current celebrity culture in the time of cameras makes privacy a luxury now compared to then, which is why the WAGs of F1, arguably considered a more luxurious sport than others, hate being public but! I digress.)
Anyway! synastry of Max and Kelly on the chart here (Inner wheel is Max's confirmed time with an astro.com A rating, while outer wheel is Kelly's natal chart, generated at 12 noon due to lack of confirmed birth time- so ignore the ASC and POF)
Tumblr media
First off- that 12H synastry clouds this relationship to the general public. Whatever Max thinks of her, we will never know, but we can intuit from the chart that he thinks of Kelly as an ideal woman- his Scorpio Venus (traditionally "partner" or "wife" in a man's chart) hits her own natal Venus, and perhaps if she was born from early morning to late afternoon, also conjunct her Moon (physical body and expression).
For Max, women usually show up as:
sharp and confusing. the 12H is the house of undoing, unconsciousness, and hidden/foreign objects. he likes the thrill of the chase but won't fully understand why he runs so
wanting something more from him. scorpio as a mars-ruled sign is a sign of action, will, and drive, but the expression of it in water can sometimes make it more intense- think of being stabbed with a large icicle compared to an icepick; or a stalactite falling from the cave ceiling compared to other irregular shaped rocks.
foreign, to the point that the girl may stand out as "being the only one" or isolated. the 12H is hidden from the 1H traditionally, the same way that the conscious mind (1H) could never comprehend the true meaning of dreams and the subconscious (12H). and it is the house where the person literally couldn't know anything- it is the stuff behind them. the 12H is enemies, undoing, jail, prison, places abroad that you will never explore, sleep. not necessarily bad things, but certainly things that make you feel excluded. but how can you be cast out if you didn't know you were exiled in the first place, right?
anyway yeah- that's the general view on how women, as a romantic partner, show up in max's chart.
to overlay her planets on his, there's two hotspots that are of interest- one is kelly's fiery mars that is very happily expressed in aries, and also rules her scorpio planets. her way of action, of being a woman, her feisty, assertive, and perhaps rebellious side intrigues him. what he feels restricted by, she finds freedom in. max, like every other racer currently on the grid right now, is a creature of speed, of action and drive, but the warrior in him is confined to a grid, to a track, to the car. it is good for him that he is naturally smart and detail-oriented, and that F1 takes place around the world (change of scenery is important for sagittarius), so he can find his own satisfaction despite these limitations.
however kelly is really great at choosing the straightest path from a to b. she is direct, and won't subscribe to limitations as well as max does. she will do what she wants. while this might be a turn off for other men, i don't think it is the same for max- he is a martial person. he likes when things go zoom, he likes thrills (not fights- which i will get into when i compare the lestappen synastry soon), and kelly being straightforward and direct is exactly what he wants to see. also her mars in his 5H of romance is literally at its most simple explanation- he finds her attractive and she gets him hard.
the other hotspot is her moon. depending on what time of the day she was born, kelly might have scorpio or sagittarius moon, but I haven't really done a deep dive of her public persona to check which one it is most likely to be. whatever it is, her moon- which represents the physical body as well as emotions/heart- may be hitting his 12H scorpio venus, OR his mars in sagittarius, which is a very potent moon-mars synastry, at which point, it is game over for anyone else who wants to be called mrs. max verstappen.
because whichever one it is, max isn't letting go of her.
max has a gentle streak outside of the hellzone that is the circuit, he has moon and mercury in virgo, along with scorpio venus- traditionally feminine planets in cold signs. he has a close relationship and respect for his mother, he seems to get along well with penelope, and even though he hates the media so he won't participate in most of the marketing bonding strategies on camera, he is constantly referred to as connecting to the other drivers by texting them, including them in conversations, or acknowledging the retired legends.
max has a certain delicacy that he might not even realize is there, but since kelly embodies (moon) this, literally, he feels connected to her in ways he can't with other people. it is very isolating, to be max verstappen, three time world champion and son of jos verstappen, and despite living parallel lives with other drivers, they don't get what it is-
it being, women die on the track. not literally, thank god, but actually, women as an archetype, a medium of creation/agriculture, the first sign of civilization- this is the patriarchy's motorsport, F1 engines and its innovations are a remnant of war & destruction, playing and improving on the heart of dead beasts in steel bodies. choosing glory over women, women as supporters and on the sidelines, and some part of him recognizes that this thing that he has dedicated his life to wouldn't be a safe space for that energy. but he can't give up the race, the same way he couldn't help but be born to his mom.
however, kelly could survive in it- she's a child of the war races too. he feels comfortable knowing she won't be chewed up and spit out by whatever monster of male-first principles feeds off of women and their lives on this track.
that one interview kelly gave where she said that there was something "magical that night" that her and max met, she probably wasn't exaggerating. whether kelly has her moon in his 12H or 1H, or whatever house max's planets fall in her chart, the attraction is there and it is blinding. this relationship could also probably be a source of undoing for max, but i don't think that's likely. i also think that max, despite being a teenager when they first met, was probably waiting all these years for her to be single enough to make his move but then again, i am just a chick on the internet who speculates using esoteric means. i don't know what happened there, just what is shown right now.
i also think that max could only end up with two types of women- one who was born and raised in the same fire from the start, like kelly, or one who is completely removed from the F1 ecosystem entirely, like, idk. a coffee farmer in belize who moonlights as a go go dancer at crazy horse whose special interest is the history of color palettes; or a former astronaut-turned-mugler muse; or a professional, duly-licensed clown for hire who also happens to own a construction company that specializes in eco-concrete. just someone who is so different from what he is that they would never be affected by the pitfalls of a life on the racing circuit. either way, she's got to keep up with his high octane life as much as possible.
(and smart. they have to be smart and loving with their words. he would not tolerate it otherwise. 5H and 12H connections are all good for casual relationships, but the 7H is where the first marriage is seen- and his L7 is Mercury exalted in Virgo 10H, next to his moon. whoever ends up marrying him will attract a lot of criticism as well as idolatry- which is why they have to be witty as hell to transmute that energy into something beautiful.)
However, his Saturn 5H and his Sun, in the exaltation of Libra, may mellow it out over time. No matter who he partners with, as long as he stays with them for a long time, the public will soon warm up to them. Saturn likes longevity, a lesson that some Libras on the grid don't seem to care about, but I digress.

Hello it is me, francis, wondering 2 things (making up my own ask game ahahah):
- what was your lancepill moment? Like moment you fell for Lance… never to recover…
- can u elaborate on Alex/lance??? I have recently been shown intriguing material and saw your tags a while ago… you have thoughts👁️?
Hiiiii francis 🫶
first of all, my lancepill moment... definitely 2020. i was kind of aware of him before that and followed him on socials but I only properly got into f1 in 2020. I got into it through the lockdown streams and when they got back to racing I was bewitched by his pink suit and silly aura. but the point of no return was watching his Monza podium... LIFE CHANGING.
And oh boy.... alex/lance... strollbon. where do i even begin. for the past couple weeks, Ann and i have been having absolutely derranged convos about them... our beloved rarepair. my thoughts are below the cut in case this gets too long:
I have too many thoughts to possibly mention them all but I think the core energy of this ship is that... lance is a spoiled princess who needs to be treated right, and alex is a nice guy who could TREAT HIM RIGHT... as can be seen by the iconic umbrella moment:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As the genius @lil-shiro said... lance has reverse daddy issues, in that his dad has always been able to give him exactly what he needs, so he expects the same kindness and dependability from his partner... i think alex could give him that.
they both have a similar sort of energy of hating media duties, being very nice but also having a bitchy side... i think they'd mesh very well together. as you can see here, their combined sassy energy… unstoppable.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
also we know that lance has extreme cat energy, and who on the grid is good with cats? alex albon of course.
and another very very important element of strollbon is of course georgeture. the concept of george's best friend being in a relationship with his enemy... groundbreaking. traumatising. perfect. the potential drama here is so delicious… I may have to write it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
of course the utterly devastating moment of George realising alex and lance are together... maybe he sees a notification from lance on alex's phone, maybe he catches them in the act... either way, he passes out. and then wakes up. and then passes out again. his life is ruined and he'll have to learn to balance his hatred for lance with his desire to be a supportive friend to alex (and eventually, reluctantly, admit that lance isn't that bad).
TLDR, lance is a princess and alex should spoil him. I hope my ramble made sense 😅 but if you have any other questions im always happy to answer 🙏

Honestly after Qatar I was anything but motivated to post, so here it is for Qatar and Texas.
I literally still feel sick thinking about what the drivers had to go through just because Qatar has money. It physically hurts me. I'm honestly just glad that everyone is okay now.
That being said here are my favorite drivers 5,5 months into liking f1:
1. Alex Albon
As always, my beloved. This guy made me support Williams in the first place and now they have become my second favorite team (after Ferrari of course, because I apparently like pain). It sometimes feels like they're the only one's who really care for their drivers.
In Texas I was really stressed out like what do you mean 0,3s away from the points in the sprint race? And what do you mean 11th in the race?
2. Sergio Perez
Checo is the sweetest, I love his smile so much and it felt good to see so many Checo fans over there in Texas, not only haters. He was doing okay this week, but Lewis is getting closer and closer and I'm scared. I just need him to be good in Mexico, otherwise I'm going to quit watching F1 (I would never but please Checo please)
3. Lewis Hamilton
This was a hard decision. But I've been obsessing over Lewis again these past few weeks so he gets 3rd for now. Even though him being good literally tears my soul apart. I want him to be good, but he's a danger to Checo my beloved. I am sooo happy that Mercedes seem to get closer to Red Bull and that Lewis might have even had a chance today if the race had been just a few laps longer. But at the same time, please be worse than Checo.
Also Lewis is one of the very few men that I find breathtakingly beautiful. He is so gorgeous. And I love his tattoos. Especially his hand tattoos.
Fun Fact: My dad watched the Qatar GP with me, which was his first race ever and now he keeps refering to Lewis as the one who never makes it past turn one. Can't wait to tell him that the one who never makes it past turn one almost got Max.
4. Charles Leclerc
This was another hard decision, because I love Charles, but the past few weeks I barely paid attention to him (not because I didn't want to, but because there were so many other things to focus on, plus Uni sucks). I have thought about putting him on 5th, but who am I kidding, I love Charles too much and when he took pole I basically had the same reaction as Matt from p1. But I didn't really have time to be sad, about him losing P1 so early, because there was so much happening.
Also both Ferraris have been doing quite good, just not good enough, which is sad, but at least they didn't have any major strategy fuck-ups.
5. Lando Norris
I almost put him in 4th. This is mainly because I totally fell in love with Team Quadrant and was watching almost all of their youtube videos. Texas quali was the first time is tuned in to Max Fewtrell's watch along and I couldn't help but cheer along for Lando. And for the first half of the race I thought that there might be a chance for him to get his first win. It's kinda frustrating watching him being on the podium every weekend but never on the top step.
Honorable mentions:
Lance. He's really close to taking 5th. I might just have two 5th places next time. I might feel for him even more than I feel for Checo. And that means something. My boy passing out in the car in the middle of the race in Qatar? I literally couldn't sleep after reading about all of this. Just imagine the things that could have happened. I could cry just thinking about it. And then the dnf in the sprint race in Texas. He was doing so good and then that. But at least we got some Strollonso content and two stroints. Good race for him today.
Logan. I didn't think I'd ever say that, but Logan has kinda sneaked his way into my heart. He's nowhere near the top five but same as Checo and Lance, I just want him to have a good race for once. Qatar might have opened my eyes about him. That he was the only driver with the balls to retire for the sake of his health. And a big thanks to Williams for being so lovely. I feel like no other team would be so understanding. Sure you could say they have nothing to lose, but still. It takes some bravery to do. And I'm happy they did.
Also the Texas race was quite good, happy for Logan. Even though the rest of the weekend sucked.
Fernando. I don't know how and when it happened but I feel myself growing fonder of Fernando every day. I realized during quali when I was really upset that both Williams, both Astons and Hulk were out in Q1. So, all five of them, drivers that I wanted to see doing well. And the dnf in the race sucked so bad. Both Astons did so well and then that.
But then again, at least we got some Strollonso content. Fernando always pointing his camera at Lance is so cute.
Also him dead ass asking the team to pour water over him in Qatar might be my favorite thing ever.
Nico. Also no idea where that came from, but I realized that I have developed a huge soft spot for Nico. It started with me being interested in how he does because he's German. Then I started to genuinely like him and now I have this huge soft spot for him. It's not like he's competing for the top five though. It kinda feels like he has his own category (again, might be the German in me talking). I respect him big time, spitting facts about how shitty Haas is and frequently driving that shit box into the points. But I don't really search for content about him. Except for Hulknussen every now and then.
Speed round:
Oscar's safe (mad respect, many would have sent that into the wall) and stupid dnf. Also Loscar is kinda cute.
Alpine being sponsored by Travis Kelce. I just think it's funny how the whole Taylonso thing comes full circle now with Tay's new boyfriend basically buying Fernando's ex team.
Also Esteban just casually talking about throwing up in his helmet...
Nico Rosberg. I initially didn't like him, but he does spit facts and I appreciate that.
Yukierre. They're too cute for my little heart.
Pierre and Danny Ric. It's crazy to me how two drivers who literally used to be my favorites at some point are now totally irrelevant to me. I still like them, but in a normal way. Which is weird. I'm not used to being normal about something.
F1 acadamy slaying. And Bianca in McLaren :)
Women.
(Please can we talk about queen Susie?)
That's it for now. Give me your thoughts.

Hello to my favourite Logan worship president, I have a question about Ben and how long has he been with Logan and you favourite pics for them together.
and my second question is who are Logan friends like I know Oscar and Callum but who else? And you favourite picture with his friends too please?
BENNY LORE. he's known logan since 2016 i believe... like he's the only trainer logan has really ever had. ik not all of the drivers have trainers that they're like legit bonded with and end up with whoever their team hires for them but logan was with benny up through all the ranks. he met benny bc he would go to ben's wife's pilates studio as a teenager which does amuse me... and ben has been on record to say his (very young) son calls logan his older brother :( like. my heart. i'm wounded
+ logan's friends' there is the oliver guy who is also around usually when he's with callum. i will be real i do not really know much about either of them outside of their appearances in logan's orbit... then on the grid he continues to mention how close he is to alex on track because teammates and i think? he's said before that he's friendly with zhou. but maybe that's just oscar. either way i think they've raced together before
and of course my beloved indycar driver kyle kirkwood <3 i know there are some pictures of the two of them as legit children kicking around somewhere but i was too lazy to dig them up rn. MAYBE ANOTHER TIME... but i will include all photos under the break bc i did compile some. as per
Tumblr media
can't put together pics of logan and benny without this one. now famously called romantic by alexander albon... like okay. sir. sirs. Both Of You.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
here are some older ones. logan looks very teenaged (probably because he was teenaged). + proof of pilates
Tumblr media
obligatory wimbledon picture. i know i've posted this one before and i know i've said it before that it continues to amuse me logan went to wimbledon with his trainer of all people. to follow everybody and their mother going with their girlfriends. Of Course. nice matching suits
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
some miami stuff. this compilation would not be complete without miami stuff... shoutout to ben wearing logan's merch hat. + bonus dalton
Tumblr media
and this is my fav of Miami Stuff. not sure why but here it is... obv from logan's helmet shoot but without the helmet. just on the beach
Tumblr media
THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE. OF EVER. not really a picture but instead a poorly rendered screenshot from a video I KNOW I'VE POSTED THE CLIP ON HERE BEFORE but this is from. the abu dhabi off grid right after the f2 feature race when it's Confirmed logan got the f1 seat for 23 and ben promptly drops everything and picks him up off the ground. very special tome like i cried
Tumblr media
and of course. thee moment of all time. when ben and logan played (and defeated) oscar and his trainer in padel. still yet to recover from this one. this post is nawt about loscar but can you get your damn elbow out of his bicep dude
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and here r some random pictures of logan with friends. idk who everyone in the middle picture is but logan looks like he's having fun (and it was callum's 21st birthday. hence him holding up the 1 and 2. if reversed)

New Romantics (Part VIII)
Carlos Sainz x OC x Mason Mount
Chapter 9
(and yes, those pics can rise me up from my deathbed)
Warnings: none! mostly fluff (since this is the first part of the finale, things will be smoother)
Also you can tell how much I love Slilverstone 2022 by the way I’ve memorized the commentary.
Note : there’s a hidden song in this part. When you see it, click play. It’s how I imagined this situation in my head and the song fit perfectly!
taglist memebers : @alwaysclassyeagle
Ah! We are finally here. It’s the Silverstone race weekend. The home of Formula One. Home race to the two Mercedes driver, Lewis Hamilton & George Russell, to Williams’s Alex Albon and of course, to my beloved brother.
Also it’s the only Grand Prix where I don’t have to fly to another country and carry a suitcase. Another reason why I love it so much. I know this track by heart and I could even walk it blindfolded.
This time, me and Mason had company during this weekend. Well, for two days, but still. Reece was with us, since Chelsea didn’t have any scheduled matches this weekend. It was nice to get along with his teammates.
Instead of posting stories around an F1 paddock or racing cars, I post about the men in London Blue and tag Mason under every single one of them. After the games, he reposts them, but every single time I look at my views, the same username comes up first
carlossainz55
I thought he had unfollowed me a long time ago. Years ago. But as it seems he hadn’t. He’s only hurting himself. Not me. I’m with the man I love and has treasured me. Mason has been nothing but a sweetheart and a gentleman.
When I told him I love him, I meant every word. I was scared of his reaction but thankfully when he replied with the exact same words a sigh of relief left my lungs.
Mason made me feel comfortable, happy, and overall excited to be with him. I never bore to tell Carlos my true feelings so by shoving them down my throat, they faded away.
It was the first time in two years, that I felt safe to be at a paddock again, without having to worry about seeing him. Whether Mason protected me or not, he was my boyfriend and I my heart beat for him.
“How are you feeling babe?” Mason’s arm caressed my bare shoulder as it was hanging loose from.
“Pretty well. I’m actually quite enjoying this” I reply, actually being in a really good mood.
I flash my boyfriend a smile and he pecks my lips with a soft kiss.
“Really? Cause back in the day you’d whine about how boring this was!” My brother showed up out of nowhere, trying to put on his balaclava.
“I didn’t have anyone to talk with! It was only you and Carlos, who 100% of the time were racing!”
“Oh yeah, now you have your all charming boyfriend. I forgot, sorry” Lando rolled his eyes playfully and earned a smack in the arm from me
“Please tell me you’re not bringing him again! You pay more attention to Mason than your own brother”
“You know I’m listening, right?” Mason raised his eyebrow at my brother
“Oh fuck off, you know I’m joking. I love having you both here. I just miss my baby sister” Lando messes up my hair a little bit by ruffling them.
“Don’t worry mate, you’re lucky some of the games are outside of London, so I won’t be attending more of the GP’s. Even if I wanted to, Potter would kill me if I missed any practice or even game!”
It was true. Mason had to prepare for the upcoming Premier League games, help Chelsea get maximum points before leaving for the World Cup. I was going to bounce back between races and games, but it would be extremely tiring and difficult.
“Just take care of her! That’s all I’m asking. I trust you Mount” Lando pat Mason’s back in a friendly way, before putting on his helmet and jumping in the car
Lando knew about the whole issue with Carlos. He didn’t appreciate it when he found out and was more than mad at him. He even blocked his number, which I begged him not to, because he’s best friends with him and I didn’t want to ruin a friendship like theirs. Now, he seems more relaxed when Mason is around me.
It was pouring chairs and qualifying was about to start. London is used to such gloomy and rainy weather but the conditions were quite dangerous. I still remember what happened in Belgium last year and I hated myself for not being close to my brother when that occurred. I instantly flew to Belgium only for his sake.
Seeing the drivers spin around and trying to balance the car has my heart jumping up and down. In Q1 the conditions were safer but during Q2 things got messier and the cars couldn’t make decent lap times. Sadly Daniel didn’t manage to reach Q3, but I was happy my brother would have a good starting position for race day.
“Lando please be careful out there!” I asked Zak if I could tell my brother through the team radio.
“No sweat sis! We’ve got this” he replied in a raspy voice.
“Your brother knows how to handle things in wet conditions. He’s on his A-game” Will, his race engineer said, while Zak agreed with his sayings.
Only 30 seconds remained until the checkered flag came out to put an end to qualifying. Max was currently in P1, starting a new flyer lap, Charles was P2, already having a good first sector and Carlos was P3 also on a flying lap.
“Oh no! Charles Leclerc spun momentarily and as you say quickly cleared away. That is going to cost Charles Leclerc a chance to improve though! So, Carlos Sainz, in that middle sector, has he done enough now?”
Crofty’s voice echoes in my ears, as I see everything happening in front of me
“to get that provisional pole, and hang on to it. We’ve seen it get snatched from his grasp at the last moment so far this season, but there you go, Carlos Sainz, big round of applause from him, he goes over the line and is on provisional pole”
Carlos hadn’t managed to get a pole position ever in his career so far and since he joined Ferrari, his driving skills have improved and wants to show the world his worth and carry the legacy his name has!
“Verstappen’s middle sector not particularly good and he looks a little bit out of shape in the final sector too” Martin Brundle exclaims with an apparent shock in his voice
“So, can Verstappen get that provisional pole back again? No he can’t! Doesn’t improve his time” Crofty screams and I can feel a wave of happiness rushing over me.
Even thought my relationship is broken with Carlos, I want the best for him. We’ve been through so many things together.
“Carlos Sainz, his former teammate to Toro Rosso has that provisional pole!” Oh my oh my!
“Carlos Sainz for the first time in his Formula One career, pole position here”
I lowered my head and felt a grin being shaped on my lips. I was glad. I was proud. He’s been fighting for this and now it’s his time to shine.
“This must have been extremely difficult for all the guys!” Mason says shocked by what he had just witnessed
“You can’t even imagine what they go through when being in the car. Fascinating and very scary too” I put my hand in front of my mouth, trying to process those very exciting news.
I didn’t want Mason to see my smile. I knew it would hurt him. After everything he went through with me, seeing me being happy about another guy, wouldn’t be very pleasant.
“As much of a dick I think he is, I have to admit his driving skills are great. This was impressive. Managing a lap time in conditions like these” Mason said softly, taking off his headset
“Yeah, it is” i nodded my head and removed them too. My brother came back to the garage and we both congratulated him for securing a sixth place
“Uh, I’m sorry for being a buzzkill but, Quinn, Carlos wants to see you. He says he only wants 10 minutes and then won’t bother you again” Lando says.
I can feel Mason’s grip getting tighter around my arm and grabbing me a few inches closer to his body. He was scared. He didn’t want to let me go.
Truth is, I didn’t feel like this would be a very good idea either.
“Uh, I don’t think that-“ I try to say before my brother interrupts me
“Let him explain and apologize and he will be gone for good. I know you won’t attend any other races. You hate being here. This world is not for you. You were always the shy one amongst the two of us. I know you’ll follow Mason afterwards, so give him a chance. Do it for me”
It broke my heart seeing my brother so disappointed. It was true, I wouldn’t be attending more races. Formula One is like the talk of the town. Too much drama, gossiping and heartbreak. It’s the side of it, no one wants to enter but sadly some of us do.
I felt Mason’s lips on my cheek, kissing me and turning me around to look at him.
“Go. I trust you. You know what to do if you need anything. I’ll be there in no time” he said, giving me a promising smile.
I took my umbrella and walked towards Ferrari’s garage. I found Charles on my way there.
“Looking for the poleman?” He asked me cheekily and I nodded my head while laughing
“He’s there with Oñoro. Go, he’s waiting for you” the Monegasque patted my back and saying his goodbye to me.
I made a few steps towards the two cousins, only to have Sainz turn around before I even manage to utter a word.
“Hey Quinn! Where have you been? Long time no see!” Oñoro exclaimed and wrapped his arms around me for a hug. He was a very sweet man and at their time at McLaren, we got really close, always hanging out on the garage with Rupert
“I missed you Carlos number 2! Congratulations on the anniversary too! Very happy for you” I replied and hugged him back!
“I certainly didn’t miss being called Carlos number 2 though” he pretended to be offended but laughed it off
“But thank you for the wishes. I’ll leave you two alone now”
Carlos and I walked towards his motorhome and got in safely. I closed my umbrella and he threw on a jacket, so not to get cold.
“Before we start, I want to say, congratulations Carlos. Even though things are rocky between us, I will always support you no matter the case. Your first pole in Formula One! That must be exciting”
“It is! I can’t even tell you how much. And thank you. It means the world to me that I still have you, even as a supporter through distance” the word distance had such a bitter feeling to it, I felt very bad with myself.
“Carlos, I’m sorry things ended this way. You know what I truly think of you. You know that I’d do anything for you. Even now”
“Don’t say things that you won’t fulfill Quinn. But I appreciate it”
“What do you mean?”
“You say, you’d do anything for me. But if I asked you to leave Mason and be with me, you wouldn’t do it”
Maybe in another lifetime I would. I would have given up everything to be with Carlos. I loved him. I loved him until the very last drop. Until he drained me.
“You know I can’t do it”
“And I know the reason why. This is why I want to apologize. It’s horrible to know that you kept the girl you love away from her family and you’re the reason she’s scared of being near you. I felt awful when you told me and I couldn’t sleep. I still can’t, knowing I’m the reason you hate this world”
“I don’t hate it Carlos”
“I can see it in your eyes. You do hate it. You’re not fit for this crazy world me and your brother live in. And honestly, it’s the best for you. And I would never want to keep you here nor I wanted to hurt you the way I did.”
“You did hurt me. You did break me. It took me almost two years to get over you. I loved you deeply. I still do, but not the way I used to. I love you as a friend and as a person I care about. But my heart belong to Mason now”
“Is he at least making you happy?”
“Very!”
“Then that’s all I care about. Even if I would have loved to be the one who makes you happy, I wish the best for the two of you. I simply desire to only see you smile. And never cry again”
“I’m sorry we can’t be together Carlos. I hope the one comes around sooner than later. You deserve someone special in your life. You’re a wonderful guy”
I open my arms and welcome him for a warm hug.
I could hear his heart racing. He found the peace he wanted. And I’m thankful I gave it to him.
“I hope to see you more often on the paddock. We all miss you”
“We will see Carlos. For now, focus on the race, I’ll be around”

pierlex 😌
Tumblr media Tumblr media
egg, @finalframed and @nozurchesinthewild i love you all ty for recognizing my brand <3
pierlex is my beloved and most cherished. my ride or die. they are CRIMINALLY underrated which is understandable considering we have maybe twenty minutes of total footage of them interacting. however i am a firm believe in pierlex (as my blog would suggest!) as @shoeydaniel has said it's about the PARALLEL NARRATIVES!! they both had challenging journeys to f1. their time in the rbr family ensured they were always going to be compared to each other as long as either of them stayed in the red bull family and it has been brutal and humiliating. they have experienced the same rise and fall from grace in incredibly similar ways which makes this pairing ripe with opportunities to look into the bitterness, tension, and understanding that that creates. pierre fall came with alex’s rise. alex’s fall came with pierre’s rise. but then they’re both forced to do further humiliating things that are hilarious. what other duo that’s been constantly portrayed as in direct opposition of each other goes on a staged vacation with each other where they model ugly clothes and suck at acting and play board games by the sea??? “sometimes it is just fun and games!!!!” who else is doing it like them?? (several others but let me have this moment)
additionally they have both said things about each other in the media that are bitter (and funny) like alexander “the at is easier to drive” albon and pierre “i don’t understand why he struggled” gasly and i think exploring both of their bitchy sides is sooo entertaining. make them hate each other!! and then kiss and make up!! (or not) they also have very similar senses of humor (i think)! they are sarcastic and witty and odd little men and they are both so weird and lame and stupid and fun and sunny in the most endearing of way and they are both kind but sharp and bashful but resilient and i think they just have a dynamic that has worked well in the few filmed interactions they have had (see the rbr challenge videos) 
SPEAKING OF WHICH the rbr videos drive me crazy!! this video and this clip from the interview after and this video after were life changing events for me. the fact that they all occurred AFTER the red bull swap... the staring into each other’s eyes, the tangled fingers, the screech laughter, the acting out when everyone else is trying to be serious, “you’re purrrhfect,” the nonstop chatting shit about everyone else they are truly just two silly guys with lots of potential!! 
anyways i will conclude my essay here... i have more to say but i cannot properly organize my thoughts currently and will continue to go off on long, unrelated tangents... in summary i think it is a pairing with tons of potential and some excellent lore to pair up with it!! something i want to see more of and adore!!

max, daniel, Alex!!!!
Oh god....okay here we go
Best friend: ALEX BC HE'S THE BEST and then i can come over and meet the Albon Pets (horsey Albon my beloved)
Marry: this is...very difficult because it's part of my Brand™ to stan Daniel but at the same time i kinda feel like our personalities don't match up considering he's so extroverted? I'd be tired and accidentally murder him for bothering me. But like...Max is too blunt, he would hurt my feelings considering i am a person that gets sad over little things...On the other hand, Max's love language is gift giving which is certainly interesting 👀
AAAAAA fine, marry Daniel. I'll be annoyed, we'll get divorced, I'll keep his sexy Mclaren.
One Night Stand: Max (i wanna rail him and then keep the memories) (also i don't want to get involved with complicated family dynamics mine is already quite enough thank u)
Send me three names and I'll choose between marry, one night stand or best friend

Brazil 23
My feelings about Brazil are extremely torn. There are things that I’m really happy about, things that I’m obviously sad about, and then there are things that I feel both happy and sad about. That being said, here are my favorite drivers 6 months into liking F1 (or rather my thoughts on the lates GP, because my favorite drivers barely change anymore): 
1. Alex Albon 
What a weekend to forget. After Charles I didn’t think it could get any worse, but then Alex had the great idea to continue the saga of my favorite drivers crashing in turn one. Lewis in Qatar, Checo in Mexico and now Alex in Brazil. I know it was a racing inchident, but fuck you Haas. 
But thankfully they’re all okay. 
2. Sergio Perez 
You can imagine that this is one of the things I’m both happy and sad about. He drove so well, I mean podium in the sprint and almost podium in the race. And that battle with Fernando was great, but my poor little heart! The battle went on way too long for my liking and it was sooooo close. We really were 0.053s away from another podium. 0.053! I want to be happy for Nando, but 0.053! Anyway, Checo had fun and gained valuable points.
3. Charles Leclerc/Lewis Hamilton 
Charles my beloved. I was devastated. The poor man just can’t get a break. 
My mom recently asked me about my favorite drivers and decided that she likes Charles the most. 
I don’t know, but Mercedes lately start off great and then drop down towards the end and it’s kinda hard to watch. Also sometimes I think they should just let George through if he’s really faster than Lewis. 
4. Lance Stroll 
I cannot express how happy I am for Lancey boy. Actually both Astons, they’ve grown onto me. He had such a good weekend. Sure you could argue that he only started on 3rd because Q3 was cut short, but idc. He drove well, even though the start for both Astons sucked, but he did well defending and I’m just happy.
5. Lando Norris 
I’m tired of Lando being 2nd, I need him to win! 
Honorable mentions: 
Fernando. The battle was just so intense and I’m freaking happy for him. Also him telling Checo to not put him under such stress anymore because he’s old was so adorable. 
Max. Him saying that he almost went off track because he was watching Checo’s and Nando’s battle. 
That’s it for Brazil, because I’m late and thinking about Vegas now.
