IMPECCABLE TIMING . . . 🏁🍒🏎️

LICENSE TO DRIVE ; f1 driver!oc x platonic! f1 grid

. . . as a part of katarina's media duties in the paddock, the press questions about her "sudden" move to porsche, with people theorizing about her impeccable timing of doom.

amgf 2.1k words... set during the bahrain pre-race press conference, mention of red bull controversy, implied media play, mystery(?)

license to drive ; masterlist

SITTING FOR INTERVIEWS ISN'T REALLY KATARINA'S FORTE, just like the other drivers she'd rather race. But at the same time, she enjoys the chaos press interviews bring. Especially for the upcoming 2024 season, a lot has happened over the winter break.

One transfer which Katarina is heavily involved in, and despite not being one to tell all to the press, the feeling of slow feeding information to journalists, leaving crumbs of information here and there, laying down innuendos is more than enough for her to agree for the press conference schedule.

It's the first race of the season, drama is about to unfold, and Katarina is ready to watch them all from the palm of her hand.

Greeting the drivers, she sits right beside Lewis as the conference had just begun, with the host talking to Lando furthest to her. At the same time, Carlos walked from the sea of reporters, Lewis teasing him, gesturing his watch.

Katarina scoots over to the edge, with Carlos situated next to Lewis. Opting to get interviewed last, knowing very well of the questions she's about to receive.

The female driver keeps herself busy with her thoughts, listening in to some of the drivers and their questions. As much as she hated interviews listening in to the drivers answer repetitive questions was funny up to a point.

"This season is not only filled with finales but also debuts. Shocking everyone during the first half of winter break, having moved from Red Bull to Porsche. In her 8th season we have Katarina Lombardi— how do you feel about moving teams and debuting in Porsche for the season?"

Katarina smiles, picking up the microphone from Carlos beside her. "What a lengthy introduction that was. I think it was a pretty good move, I mean for me I moved a few times before, nothing shocking really it's just fun. I'm absolutely happy in Porsche— not that I wasn't in Red Bull mind you."

She clears the air and jokes around realizing the cameras pointing at her on live television. Watching Max from the corner squinting his eyes playfully, earning a small laugh from Karina.

"To me like what Lewis and Carlos have said, moving is a common occurrence in the sport, I mean just four years ago I was in Mercedes, and then moved to Red Bull, and now I'm in Porsche. It's our first year together and things are definitely looking interesting. Not just for me but for the whole team, we're learning together and getting through the ropes, I'm happy and I hope we can deliver through more of our goals."

Katarina smiles, satisfied with her answer, if it wasn't evident with the big smile on her face one can clearly see how she's enjoying this season. In fact, Katarina is excited, having worked with the car, their only goal was to score points, and if possible chase Max in his rocketship of a Red Bull.

Despite the rumors of her falsely being kicked out of Red Bull, Katarina left in her own volition. Offered a seat in Porsche, the female asked one question before solidifying a contract with the team.

When Porsche revealed they were planning on signing Liam Lawson to the team it was enough for her to move, she had faith in him, and together they could score points together. During the break she spent her time with Lawson in Germany testing the car. Which performed more than she expected, not bad for a first time, but the female knows the only results that matter is on the actual track.

"Hello, I am Felipe Santos. Question for Katarina Lombardi–" Your eyes perk up, as you watch a middle aged man in his forties from the back ask his question, "following your move to Porsche there has been a lot of speculation in your move, a lot pointing out the comedic timing of your move, back in 2021 from Mercedes to Red Bull and in the same year the championship went to Red Bull, and now with the issues going on in Red Bull, you moved teams to Porsche. People have been calling you a horseman of doom, are these issues the reason behind your move? Or are they mere coincidences that happen? Are you glad to have moved out from Mercedes and Red Bull?"

Katarina grabs the mic from Lewis, formulating her answer in her head before speaking. This is the type of questions the female's PR manager prepared her for, there are times for snarky remarks or sarcastic comments, and there are times for prepared responses, as what her PR manager instructed.

There is no such thing as a scripted answer, we are prepared when such occasions arise– yadda yadda yadda something about keeping the team's integrity or brand. Shit.

Katarina hums, filling the silence still contemplating on the response to give out, on the far corner of her eye she sees Nicolas, her PR manager staring at her, hands waving on his neck.

Breathing in at an attempt to keep her composure, but the insinuation of Katarina's move as some comedic timing, as if real people weren't involved fumed her in a different way.

She may act indifferently to the press about moving teams, and how her calculated moves benefited her, but they don't see the late night negotiations and hours of talking to lawyers and advisors for the best move.

She didn't like being involved in the drama one bit. "I think calling it comedic timing is inappropriate. Because the situation is not comedic at all, it's not funny, nor do I enjoy seeing my decisions plastered into this controversy. It's disheartening, in this time and age to hear about these allegations. I am glad to have moved but not at the expense of my decisions being held to a higher standard than the actual controversy going around."

Silence.

She could feel her PR manager rolling her eyes, but Katarina couldn't care less. It was one way to shut up the crowd, she was not about to let the media use her move from Red Bull to Porsche as a cover up story.

She's been in the sport for so long, things have to change. She passed the microphone back in Lewis' direction as the media got back to asking questions.

For the remainder of the interview, no one dared to ask her another question.

"WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?"

The first words Nicolas, her PR manager spoke as soon as she left the press conference schedule.

"It's the truth! What do you want me to say? Some neutral answer to pacify the press?" Rolling her eyes, Katarina entered the Porsche motorhome greeted by Alessia, her trainer who was waiting for her.

"You know that the team has given you freedom to speak whatever is on your mind, and we admire that. But a heads up could be good, I knew for a fact you weren't about to answer the memorized paragraph we spent hours together—"

"You want me to say it in a nicer way? Is that what you're implying?" Katarina cuts him off, turning around to face the man stressing about the stack of papers in between manila folders.

"The media will do everything to twist your words, tread lightly."

Katarina laughs, head shaking at his statement, "Yeah, and if they dare twist my words I'll just have to speak up more about it then. I worked hard for this, moving to Porsche was a gamble to my career! Not that I'm not enjoying it right now, it's definitely better than I expected, but for my move to be belittled as some comedic timing? No way! I fought my back out of Red Bull, they can't twist my words against me."

Nicolas nods his head slowly, arms rubbing around the female's shoulder trying to calm her down. "I know. I know how hard you worked to get out of Red Bull, and how Porsche is your saving grace for offering you a seat but they don't know that. They don't know you took one of their junior drivers, and that's what they're trying to get out of you. So calm down, and think before you speak- would be my advice as your PR manager. But as a friend, I want you to know that we're a team here, and whatever you plan on doing, we'll be here to support you, but don't go in blindly like that. Tell us, we've been through thick and thin, don't you dare think I'm about to leave you after working with you for the last 10 years."

A small smile curves up in Katarina's lips looking away bashfully at Nicolas, "Fine. As my PR manager I promise not to do things without telling you first. As a friend, thank you. For staying, and coming with me despite Red Bull's efforts to poach you undr my nose."

Leaving Red Bull was a sensitive topic for Katarina— but she'd rather act to the press about an amicable split then open up a whole can of worms. She had to leave and she doesn't like to talk about it.

Her decision to leave was done before the 2023 season even ended, yet none of the grid knew of her transfer. Not even her previous teammate Max, and other than Liam, after the news of Lewis' transfer to Ferrari, Katarina greenlit Porsche' announcement of her and Liam Lawson as their drivers for the upcoming 2024 season. That being said, her winter break was definitely eventful.

Raising her head from her notes, Katarina watches Lewis welcome himself in her motorhome.

"Katarina Anneli Lombardi, we're full of surprises this season huh?" Lewis closes the door behind him, getting comfortable beside you.

"I'd like to say the same with you, Ferrari, good choice— maybe by the time engine regulations come you'll come out on top, or Charles doesn't matter to me, I'll beat either of you."

Scoffing, Lewis closes Katarina's notes pushing her legs in his direction, facing him. "So, how did that happen?"

"I could say the same to you, you know." Katarina shrugs, parroting his own question back to him.

"Yeah we're not doing that. You know what's the deal with Mercedes, I'm glad you didn't sign that contract extension. But you, what happened?"

Looking away from Lewis hands settled on hers, zoning out on the wall behind his silhouette. Left frozen in her own thoughts, gulping as she avoids the question.

"If you're not ready to say anything, you don't have to say anything yet. I just want you to know that I will always support you."

The female blinked her thoughts away, slowly nodding her head digesting what Lewis said. "I'm glad you got out of Mercedes too. I hope this season will be kind to you."

Lewis laughs, dropping the topic behind them. "But during the press conference, what that interview said, comedic timing huh? Didn't even realize that."

Katarina sneers, "I almost got myself stuck in Red Bull if I didn't move then."

Her eyes widened, she spoke too soon without thinking. Fuck.

And Katarina was right, her words didn't fly past the older male beside her, raising his brows. "Katarina..."

Fighting the urge to roll her eyes as Lewis pulled up with his "serious dad" voice. "I promise you it's nothing."

"You say that, and then I find out later it's something serious. Anneli, what happened with Red Bull?"

The female shakes her head, refusing to answer. "I'm sorry Lewis, but now is really not the time to talk about this." Looking left and right the windows of her motorhome, Katarina stands up towards the door, checking if it's locked.

"I promise you I'm fine Lewis. Who else would I tell you if I don't feel good?" Twisting the door open, hiding her actions under the guise of a polite act, "But now it's time for you to leave because I have to rest and study for free practice. Now go back to your garage, they might tamper if you're not looking."

Lewis faces the younger incredulously, shaking his head, before pulling Katarina in a hug.

"I'll see you before free practice?"

Katarina ponders before turning her head side to side, "Nope, I'll see you after free practice."

Lewis hugs her once more before leaving her motorhome, the female standing by the door watching his back leave. Checking the area around the motorhome, Katarina takes note of the neighboring team garages beside them, to the right was the familiar Williams motorhome, and in front of them was the fiery red Ferrari.

Going back inside the comfort of her room, Katarina shakes off her thoughts focusing back on her notes for the upcoming practice. Knowing very well that there are vultures lurking, waiting for a feast before their eyes.

Only time will tell, but today isn't one of those days. Because like how the journalist coined, it'll all come in impeccable timing. She was a horseman of doom like they said, and soon she'll have to prove herself like she did eight years ago.

amgf why'd she leave red bull? i guess we'll find out soon hahahaha i enjoyed writing this so much, i think i'll be writing this following the 2024 season, of course tweaking the scenes a little bit but what an introduction! i can't wait to write more about her, and hopefully we see a more fleshed Katarina and how she came to become like this. enjoy 👍

REPEAT AFTER ME

charles leclerc x max verstappen

650 words

summary: based on this req wherein max comforts charles after a bad race day in Bahrain for the Monegasque. warnings: no warnings, just cute lestappen agenda, somewhat based on that cute fan art of lestappen where max comforts charles that spread all over twitter and tiktok. note: fluff is not my forte, i tried my very best to make it interesting.

The Bahrain Grand Prix had just ended with Max winning the first race of the season. The crowd went wild once again for him as he stood on the podium holding his trophy. But it wasn’t the same for Charles who’s just finished his media duties as he sat down in the garage of Ferrari. He watched his rival along with his teammate celebrate their podium and he would just kid himself if he didn’t admit that he feels mad at himself even when he knows he did his best. He did his best for sure, despite having troubles with the car he still managed to get P4. But it wasn’t enough.

After a long week of work, Charles fixed himself and packed his things to get ready and go back to the hotel. He only has enough time to sleep before flying again to prepare for another race. 

“Charles,” a familiar voice called him. “Hey, mate. Congrats on P4.” Max said with all smiles as Charles turned around to face him. 

“Idiot, you shouldn’t be here. This isn’t RBR’s garage.” Charles joked as he took his bag. He thought Max would already go because that’s what he usually does. After he congratulates Charles he would leave already due to media duties or he would just instantly go back to his room already. Max stayed in his spot, standing there with a look the monegasque couldn’t explain.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Charles asked, curiosity evident in his tone. The dutch took a look around and when he was sure that no one was there to see him, he walked inside and sat down. “Sit with me, Charlie.” 

Charles obliged to Max’s request and sat down beside him and placed his bag down once again. 

“I did my best in that race, I am proud of the efforts I did, I am a great driver, and I deserve the recognition I get. Repeat my words.” Charles looked at Max with a puzzled look meanwhile Max looked at him with a sincere but not intimidating look. For what it’s worth, it actually calmed the raging nerves Charles had. 

“Repeat after me, Charlie.” Max smiled, “I did my best in that race.”

“I didn’t-”

“I did my best in that race.” Max said as he cut Charles’ words. 

Charles sighed, “I did my best in that race.”

Max frowned. He stood up and kneeled in front of Charles, leveling to him, which made the monegasque gasp and even more confused to what Max is trying to do.

“What are you- Max, stand up. Are you crazy?”

“It’s not your fault Charlie. Now, repeat after me, okay?” Max stopped and waited for a reply from Charles, whether it was verbal or physical. When Charles nodded after a very deep sigh, Max flashed his bright smile, which he only shows to Charles, his childhood best friend who is also his rival.

“Repeat after me, I did my best in that race.”

“I did my best in that race.”

“I am proud of the efforts I did.”

“I am proud of the efforts I did.”

“I am a great driver.”

“Max, this is silly-”

“I am a great driver. Say it like you mean it, Charlie. Come on, now.” 

“Max-’

“Please?”

“I am a great driver.” Max smiled like a kid, his smile reaching his ears. He finally stood up again, looking down at Charles before deciding to ruin his helmet hair even more. “See? That’s more like it.”

“Chin up now, okay? It wasn’t your fault and you deserve just as much recognition as you are receiving right now. For what it’s worth, you’re literally the best driver in the grid. You come second because everyone knows I come first.” Max laughed at his own joke.

“Fuck you, mate.”

“Cheer up now, yeah? I’ll be going now, someone might see me here.”

American Logan Sargeant finishes best among F1's rookies in Bahrain putting his Williams P12

American driver Logan Sargeant finishes best among Formula One's rookies in Bahrain... putting his Williams P12 as he breaks the United States' dry-spell on the grid By Jake Fenner For Dailymail.Com Published: 11:38 EST, 5 March 2023 | Updated: 11:38 EST, 5 March 2023 America's long absence from Formula One ended on Sunday as Williams Racing's Logan Sargeant bested his fellow rookie drivers. After an excellent start that saw the Fort Lauderdale-native jump three positions alongside fellow Williams teammate Alex Albon, Sargeant put in a strong starting stint on the soft compound tires before boxing for hards and finishing P1. Sargeant's appearance on the grid signaled the end of a dry streak for the United States on the Formula One grid. He became the first American to take part in a race since Alexander Rossi lined up in Brazil for Marussia in 2015. Sargeant rose as high as ninth position as other cars around him boxed for new tires, but dropped back as the Williams continued to under-perform in comparison to the rest of the grid. Williams Racing's Logan Sargeant bested his fellow rookie drivers, finishing P12 in his debut The Florida native beat out McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Alpha Tauri's Nyck de Vries Sargeant became the first American on a Formula One grid since Alexander Rossi in 2015 Compared to his fellow contemporaries, Sargeant came out on top amongst the two other drivers who made their full-time debuts in F1.  McLaren driver and Sargeant's longtime rival Oscar Piastri retired from the race as team CEO Zak Brown reported he suffered from electrical problems. Sargeant finished one place higher than the grid's other rookie: Alpha Tauri driver Nyck de Vries. After boxing for softs under a virtual safety car for Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, Sargeant exited the pits with 15 laps to go in P14 - three spots behind de Vries. Within three laps, Sargeant's new softs caught up to de Vreis' old hards and he made the easy pass. By lap 48, he had finished a prolonged battle with Alfa Romeo driver Zhou Guanyu to move up into P12.  As the race ended, he put distance between his FW45 and Zhou's C43, but he couldn't close the gap that Alpha Tauri driver Yuki Tsunoda had built himself. Albon finished the race in P10, just two places ahead of Sargeant but in the points.

„Jeune Afrique“ stellt die diplomatische Dynamik der Eröffnung von Konsulaten brüderlicher und befreundeter Staaten in den südlichen Provinzen des Königreichs Marokko klar heraus

Paris–Das französische Magazin „Jeune Afrique“ stellte am Freitag, dem 23. August 2024 die diplomatische Dynamik der Eröffnung von Konsulaten brüderlicher und befreundeter Staaten in den südlichen Provinzen des Königreichs Marokko klar heraus, somit die Erinnerung an die Eröffnung des Generalkonsulats der Republik Tschad am 14. August 2024 in der Stadt Dakhla wachrufend.

„Die Republik Tschad ist der jüngste Staat auf der Liste, welche  immer länger wird“, schrieb „Jeune Afrique“, das erachtet, dass „die Eröffnung des Konsulats der Republik Tschad überdies logischerweise Teil der Atlantikinitiative sei, die Ende 2023 vonseiten seiner Majestät des Königs Mohammed VI unterbreitet worden ist und die den vier Binnenstaaten der Sahelzone (im vorliegenden Falle Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso und Tschad) einen besseren Zugang zum Atlantik verschaffen sollte.“

„Allein die Stadt Dakhla beheimatet mittlerweile siebzehn Konsulate, was ihren doppelten Status als diplomatisches Zentrum und als Tor zu Afrika dank ihres zukünftigen Hafens (im vorliegenden Falle Dakhla Atlantique), der sich zu einem der größten Häfen in der Region auswachsen dürfte, erstarken dürfte“, unterstrich das französische Magazin.

„Jeune Afrique“ rief in Erinnerung, dass das diplomatische Viertel der Perle des Atlantiks nebst der Republik Tschad auch die konsularischen Vertretungen französischsprachiger afrikanischer Staaten wie Dschibuti (seit Februar 2020), der Demokratischen Republik Kongo (seit Dezember 2020), Senegal (seit April 2021), Togo (seit Juli 2022) und Guinea (seit Juli 2023) beheimatet.

Die englisch-, spanisch-, und-portugiesischsprachigen Staaten des Kontinents, fuhr er fort, „werden nicht ausgeschlossen, da die Stadt Dakhla darüber hinaus diplomatische Vertretungen aus Gambia (seit Januar 2020), aus Liberia (seit März 2020), aus Äquatorialguinea (seit Oktober 2020), aus Sierra Leone (seit August 2021), aus Guinea-Bissau (seit Oktober 2021) und aus Kap Verde (seit August 2022) beheimatet, sowie die diplomatischen Vertretungen der beiden karibischen Staaten (nämlich Haiti seit Dezember 2020 und Suriname seit Mai 2022), zu denen im März 2022 die diplomatische Vertretung der Organisation Ostkaribischer Staaten (mit 7 Mitgliedsstaaten) hinzukam.

Die beiden südlichen Regionen des Königreichs Marokko, fügte „Jeune Afrique“ hinzu, haben außerdem zwölf weitere Konsulate mit Sitz in Laâyoune eröffnet.

Die Stadt Laâyoune ist von Staaten aus dem französischsprachigen Afrika (Komoren seit Dezember 2019, Gabun und die Zentralafrikanische Republik seit Januar 2020, die Elfenbeinküste und Burundi seit Februar 2020) und von Staaten aus dem englischsprachigen Afrika (Sambia und das Königreich Eswatini seit Oktober 2020, Malawi seit Juli 2021), ganz von São Tomé und Príncipe (portugiesischsprachig) seit  Januar 2020 und vonseiten  mehrerer arabischer Staaten (die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate seit November 2020, Bahrain seit Dezember 2020 und Jordanien seit März 2021) zu schweigen, ausgewählt worden, stellte das Magazin fest, zum Schluss erachtend, dass die Liste sehr bald mit der Eröffnung eines Konsulats in der Stadt Dakhla, das die Dominikanische Republik vertritt, wachsen dürfte.
