when it rains... -a.albon

summary: your week was shit, and you just missed your flight to japan. shit.

pairing: alex albon x fem! reader

୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ

Honestly, your week had been a piece of shit. Extra reports, picking up the slack for your incompetent bosses, and dealing with the insane amount of work that hadn’t been done since the redundancies got announced, it all piled up into one big shit stack, one that you had to deal with. You were just excited to see Alex, and maybe take him up on his offer of being a full-time WAG rather than an accountant. 

And you missed your flight. Of fucking course you did. When it rains, it pours. 

All over you. 

You could feel the pressure building up behind your eyes as you ubered back to your cold, empty apartment. You needed to call Alex, tell him you wouldn’t be there for Japan, but that would mean admitting you wouldn't get to see him, which would break you apart. And you really didn’t want to cry in the back of an uber. Again. 

You held it together until you got home, then you just sobbed into your couch cushions, exhausted and disappointed, with only yourself to blame. 

Ding! 

Fuck off, you thought. You knew it would be your boss, or your friends, or maybe even the devil himself, texting you to make your week worse. You barely read the words until you saw Alex 💙 at the top of them. 

Can’t wait to see you tomorrow! Love you, night!

Can you call before the plane?

Miss you so much.

When it rains, it pours. And you were sobbing again. 

When the call came in, you didn’t have the heart to decline. 

Alex was extremely concerned to see you sobbing on your couch in your apartment. “What’s going on?” he asked, his voice soft and comforting, like it always is. 

“I missed my flight!” you cried. “And my entire week has been shit! My boss is a fucking moron, my co-workers seriously don’t understand how much work we have to get through, my friends were all made redundant so I’ve been eating my lunch in my fucking car, alone, and I missed my fucking flight because I’m such an idiot!” you groaned, wiping away your tears. 

“It’s alright,” he cooed, a soft smile on his face. “I’ll book you another.” 

You hadn’t exactly thought of that in your stress-induced breakdown, and it just made you cry more. “I’m an idiot!” 

Alex chuckled softly, the hilarity of the situation catching up to him. “Baby, you’re alright. It’s ok. I’m sorry this week has been shit, but it’s ok. Even if you don’t make it to Japan, I’ll get you a flight to Bahrain. I just want to see you, that’s it.”

“I want to see you too,” you sniffled. “I miss you so fucking much.”

He smiled. “I miss you too.” 

“Fuck long distance,” you murmured. “This sucks.”

He nodded. “Fuck long distance. Do you want me to book you a flight for the morning, or do you want to wait until next weekend?” 

You thought about it for a moment. You really wanted to see Alex. You also really needed a weekend to yourself. “Maybe wait until Bahrain.” 

He smiled. His perfect, boyish, Alex, smile. “Great. I think that’s a good idea. You just take this weekend to relax, yeah?” 

You nodded. “Yeah.”

“I love you, alright?” 

“I love you too,” you sniffled, calm now. “Can we stay on call?” 

“I’m yours until I have to leave. I have some interviews with Carlos in a while,” he explained. “You should get some food and sleep. And turn off your work phone for the weekend. Actually take a break.”

“That’s a great idea,” you chuckled. “Thank you for not being mad.”

“Why would I ever be mad?”

“I was stupid and missed my flight,” you shrugged. 

“It wasn’t stupid, it was a mistake,” he shrugged. “Everyone makes mistakes.”

You know what, he was right.

McLaren Cat Spectrum

[gordonstanheight]

“go to hell” is boring. it’s predictable. ‘i hope a driver you like gets a mclaren contract’ is real. it’s possible. it’s terrifying. it just won’t stop happening to me

[acrosstobear]

oh my GOD

[straightline-bow]

I know everyone is mostly joking with the whole ‘oh the GPDA should strike’ thing after their statement in instagram, but I really think we should be having a conversation about how actually, they can’t strike, and that lack of ability to use collective bargaining can be and may be incredibly dangerous.

The issue with the GPDA as a union is that it only covers the twenty current Formula 1 drivers. Now, many people see no issue with this - why would anyone else need coverage? - but this is what sort of hamstrings the GPDA as a union. Should the members go on strike, there would be backlash in the press, pressure on the FIA, FOM, Liberty and the teams - but there are other drivers, who have the super licences needed to drive an F1 car. And could you even blame them? We’ve seen how hard it can be for rookies to get a seat - Colapinto looks a lot like he may be able to get on the grid, either for next year or the year after, and that is a swansong MIRACLE that came out of nowhere for him. Lawson and Piastri had to wait on the sidelines, as did Doohan. The only Driver’s Academies that seem to be working are Ferrari’s (A Leclerc off to WEC, Bearman in Haas), Mercedes’ to an extent (They tossed Aron aside when he’s been doing fantastically, but Antonelli has a seat) and sort of Mclaren’s (Bortoleto was under them in F2, but he has now severed ties to sign for Audi.). And even then they CLEARLY have their failures. Can you truly blame young drivers for taking any and every opportunity handed to them when so few succeed at all?

A strike would be very easily defeated by the FIA and Co - and there would be no guarantee of contracts post strike, and although the WDCs and highest level drivers could probably weather the storm, there is no way the rookies and those from smaller teams would be able to, and they could likely lose their seats over it. Quite frankly, the only way for a strike to work in the drivers favour in this day and age would be for them to vote to include all drivers who have superlicences in the union, and then for all of them to strike together.

A reminder: every driver who has an official contract with a team entered into the F1 championship can apply for a superlicence, if they hold the other requirements (usually a certain number of points plus a driver’s licence pluse a competition licence plus a theory test on first sitting), which means drivers from IndyCar, WEC, lower formulas, Formula E and test drivers are all usually eligible, or can be. I think the official number is around 70ish drivers are eligible, plus any retired F1 drivers who keep up the fitness standard and 100km of practise across a year - so drivers such as Jacques Villneauve could potentially still have a valid superlicence, so long as he proved he did enough practise.

Aside from the sheer unlikelihood of the GPDA being allowed to vote to include all holders of valid superlicences - which could possibly lead to the core members facing severe consequences, possibly the same as striking on their own - there are a lot of drivers who would not strike for safety precautions, purely they don’t think they are necessary (Brundle on the halo) or because they know if they broke the line they could get a drive, and because the GPDA has so little political power it very rarely is able to intercede to set minimum wages etc the way other unions are able to, any drivers breaking the line would know they weren’t losing out on anything but a moral argument, and potential safety issues. Some people don’t think about safety until they need it.

The current state of affairs is just incredibly concerning, and I think that although it’s fun and fine to make jokes about it, we should definitely remember both the driver’s own lack of agency, and that even though some aren’t satisfied with the statement they put out, it is perhaps one of the only things they can do.

something bout you - p. o'ward

masterlist | pairing: Pato o’ward x Rossi!fem!reader summary: your love for him is different and he couldn’t love it more. warnings: 18+ content + mentions of Indy500 results + fluff + angst(?) + minor errors a/n: hiiii! Im back :) I’ve been working on this since the results of indy500 and while it’s not perfect I hope you all enjoy!

where your brother was a dark cloud on rainy days, you were the thunder and lightning that boomed across the sky alongside him. its enticing to someone like him.

he’s drawn to the identical to dark like storm eyes, black hair that sways across your back. you were rossi’s identical down to the bone. zak brown used to swear it was traumatizing, now Pato finds it adoring.

where Alexander was millennial humor, and minimal smiles, you were nothing but witty gen z comebacks and a smile once a month. Pato found your personalities jarring in comparison, but made it his mission to brighten your clouds.

“woah.”

it sounded more like a whoosh of air exhaling from his lips. seeing you in a dark blue floor length gown truly took the air and words from his lungs. it threatens the muscles in your cheeks to tug upward, but you refuse to give pato the satisfaction of a smile.

“what?” you whip your head in his direction. navy blue suit jacket, a white shirt that was slightly unbuttoned, and matching pants. he looks heavenly. you hate that.

“you look gorgeous, amor.” the nickname rolls off his tongue, a smirk tugging his lips as he watches red flicker across your cheeks. you didn’t need to show any other signs of affection for him to know that subtle weakness for him.

“and you look like a buffoon. not even a suit can help your case.”

a chuckle escapes his lips, and for the first time since sunday morning he’s actually smiling. leave it to a rossi to lift his spirits.

“you brighten my day, Rossi.”

“I didn’t say anything.” Alex comes up behind you. his black suit and dark blue tie matching your dress like twins.

right, he reminds himself, siblings. she’s not for you.

“other Rossi,” you reply turning to your brother, “you think way too highly of yourself.”

—

a permanent scowl formed the second Josef took the stage. it was a common look for you, though you masked it well during most days, tonight was one of those moments you let it rip.

Josef drove a hell of a drive yesterday, but seeing him on stage was all but a reminder of what Pato lost and for some reason that angered you. having to watch your brother, his sister, and his own team members lift him up from another disappointing loss trickles into your memory. it was a well deserved win for Josef, but your heart ached for somebody else.

somebody you definitely shouldn’t have feelings for, but you find yourself having. someone who opened up the dark cloud and made it a little brighter.

when Pato finally took the stage, all he could see was you. the scowl loosening from your face to a contorted smile. all energy from earlier drained out of him. having to be reminded of his failed efforts, but he did enjoy the view of you practically envisioning what it would be like to strangle newgarden.

“that’s two smiles this month.” Pato whispered into your ear when he passed you to his seat. he could hear a low grumble come from you, and the scowl was back, but aimed at him.

he reveled in it. taking in all your features and how hard you work to keep your vulnerability inside that hard shell. because for a split second when he took that stage he saw you for what you truly were; a fool in love with him.

—

“I like when you get defensive of me.” he says, coming up from behind you. he rests his chin against your shoulder, the hairs that fell out his gel slicked back tickle your skin.

“the scowl was out of annoyance. don’t think too deep about it.” you say, attempting to fight his touch, but it’s too much strength to do so. you just relax your body into his and allow yourself to be held.

“I like to think you actually do love me.”

you fight the urge to roll your eyes as you feel his lips graze the sensitive part of neck. you can feel your knees weaken, ready to crumble into his arms.

love was a strong word and emotion, but it never felt big and scary with Pato. love was different with him. different was good, different was better than whatever you’d read in books. you didn’t need the fairytales, you just needed someone to remind you to smile once a month. or not attempt murder when he lost important races.

“say it,” he mumbles into your skin, teeth running across your flesh, you can feel goosebumps scatter across your skin, “say you love me.” he takes a piece of your skin in between your teeth, the sound of your sharp inhale fuels the fire in him.

“I do,” you swallow, trying to steady yourself against him, “I love you.” you spin around to face him, your dark eyes stare into his chocolate ones.

he nudges your body towards the bed and you comply. seating on the edge of the bed, you watch him remove his suit jacket. the most mundane task, was such a turn on for you. you unconsciously open your legs for him.

“I love you too,” he presses his knee in between your thighs, gently dropping your back onto the mattress, “even when you want to murder me.”

“I’d murder for you,” you say pulling him by the collar of his shirt, “but if you don’t fuck me, I will strangle you.” you growl into his ear before sinking your teeth into the outer edge of his lobe.

“you always seem to have a way with the words.”
