The reception was in full swing, a soft golden haze settling across the garden as the sun dipped low behind the trees. Music played gently under the hum of voices and clinking glasses. Amelia stood at the edge of the marquee, her dress slightly lifted off the grass, one hand clutching the stem of a flute she hadn’t finished. Her other hand played absently with the beading on her bodice, calm but overstimulated—buoyed by love, yes, but also exhausted by the sheer amount of day in the day.

Max found her there, where the noise thinned. He didn’t announce himself. “You survived,” he said, offering her a chilled glass of water instead of more champagne.

She took it gratefully. “Thank you.”

He nodded toward the dance floor, where Lando was trying to twirl his mum to the beat of a song that wasn’t quite slow enough. “He cried.”

Amelia sighed, but she was smiling. “Yes. He’s very dramatic.”

Max gave her an amused look. “I saw your eyes watering while you were walking the aisle.”

Amelia shrugged. “That was only because you all stood up at once. It startled me.”

Max let out a quiet laugh and bumped his shoulder lightly against hers. “You look very beautiful, zusje.”

“Thank you. Pietra said that I suit white.”

“Yeah, well, she was right.” There was a pause. Then he added, “You know, I’m still surprised we all managed to keep the bouncy castle a secret from him. I’m pretty sure everyone else knew. Everyone in the group-chat anyway.”

Amelia blinked. “The group-chat?” She made a face. “Oh! Oh, I remember him making one, I think. A few weeks ago…”

Max nodded. “It was just the drivers.” He smirked. “It was supposed to be strictly for moral support and wedding plans… It ended up being an absolute mess. You’d hate it.”

“Would I?” She asked, curiously. 

He nodded, his eyes sparkling. “Oh, definitely. Want to see?”

She held out her hand. “Obviously.”

Amelia stared at Max’s phone screen, horrified. “Oh.”

Max snorted. “I know. They are all terrible.”

Amelia spun around and launched in Lando’s direction. “Hey! Husband!” She yelled, and Max stared at her in astonishment. “Did you seriously wait until last week to buy your suit?”

fia awards recap:

this was my first time watching the fia awards livestream and i sincerely need to ask: is it always that much of a shitshow?

Top 9 moments (in no particular order, because they're all my nightmare):

checo winning an award for this season. just, the fact that his name even came up after this fuck ass season.

THEY JUST FORGOT AB OSCAR FOR LIKE THREE MINUTES WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED THE CONSTRUCTOR'S CHAMPS???

subpoint to (2) - why tf did they just announce the constructor's while Lando was up there for P2 in the driver's championship? why was that so weird. why wouldn't they just let constructor's have its own big moment???

The F1 2024 montage. guys. that was actually such propaganda. first of all it completely glossed over the abu dhabi gp which is just crazy so much happened. it was simultaneously glazing max and making him seem like a poor victorian orphan mid-season? second half of the montage was just top ten lando pr fails?? why didn't they just hype up the gax drama that was at least real.

any time that they made lando just stand around on stage. can you guys pls prepare stage direction cue cards. pls prep the drivers with minimum one (1) email.

when MBS came on stage and said they were only in Rwanda for the ceremony because of DEI. y'all this sport isn't real-

all of the interviews on the 'blue' carpet at the beginning cutting off at deeply awkward moments

charles clearly had not climbed out of the depression hidey-hole and they needed to stop asking him questions

did. did max passive aggressively tell the entire motorsporting world he wanted checo fired in his speech? or am i reading too far in between the lines cos i feel like he doesn't really do implicit messaging

the only success story from this entire night was lando norris, who maybe hired a new pr person? they kept trying to embarrass him and he was like 'nah, no way bitches'. he was adorable with the karting champions, the right balance of charming and awkward, and he handled all the max feud implications with grace. they could never make me hate you lando.

oh also clips of max and charles using oscar as a go-between!

[murdock-malakian]

More Chestappen!

[im-a-ghost666]

My dad just showed me this graphic in one of his magazines...

(On the bottom it also says that ocon is the least liked driver)

[raapija]

thinking about this

[countingstars-17]

"34. it's 55 wins 🤓☝️"

[your-ace-cousin-clover]

sports, to me, is about the narrative of it all

[alonsoings]

these are all just from the past like two months does rbr know that charles doesn’t drive for them

[katelovesit]

that’s my driver, he’s my national hero, i’ll never forget the visibility he gave us. NEVER GIVE UP CHECO!!!

[checolate]

All day I think about you !
