#f1 family secret santa

[starlightiing]

loscar, pg, 1.2k words, fluff - if i got you here with me, then let it snow

Title: If I got you here with me, then let it snow

Pairing: Loscar (Logan/Oscar)

Summary: Logan and Oscar get snowed in a few days longer than anticipated. But they have a warm cabin, plenty of food, a little extra time, and most importantly: they have each other. Written for F1 Family Secret Santa in my F1 Discord Server! (All are welcome to join, if you want F1 chatter without the drama!)

Secret Santa Recipient: @yuki-tsunodas Yun, my friend, I sincerely hope you enjoy! This was a delight to write out for you. Happiest of Holidays, and may the New Year bring you much joy!

Huge shout out to @allphatauri for thinking of the event, hosting it, running it, and handling all the logistics. This is his baby, and I'm grateful for everything he does to keep us all engaged <3 !

The snow is more than a foot high when Oscar takes his first peek out the window. It’s not too surprising, given the way the flakes had been pummeling down to the ground for the past few hours, relentless and yet oddly silent in the way snow always seems to be (not that he’s seen a whole lot of it in his lifetime, but nonetheless). 

It’s beautiful, really, the way the light from the sunset hits the crystals just right and makes it look like the entire ground is sparkling. The urge to open the door and jump out into the soft, pillowy snow like a child is overwhelming, but he doesn’t want to spend the rest of the vacation with a cold because he let his impulsive thoughts overtake him.

Especially now, with his and Logan’s plans to leave before the New Year foiled by this comically timed blizzard. 

“They’re saying the snow should stop in a few hours, I think.” Logan’s voice filters in from the kitchen area, the gentle thumping of his socked feet audible as he pads over towards the couch. “But it could take some time for the temperature to rise enough for it to melt. We may be here a while.” 

Oscar hums thoughtfully as he watches the snow continue to pelt the already blanketed ground, still in absolute awe at how serene and quiet everything is. It’s a different sort of silence, one that brings him a peaceful feeling in his chest that he knows he shouldn’t be entertaining. He should be agitated that this very same snow is blocking his exit from this stuffy cabin and preventing him from going home to spend New Year’s Eve with his family. He should be fretting over their stock of food and whether or not the pipes in the cabin will freeze with snow piled this high around them for what could be a few more days at the very least.

But he isn’t. In fact, there’s not a single bother at all. They actually have plenty of food and water to last another two weeks at least, and getting to spend another few days locked inside a warm cozy skiing cabin with Logan sounds more like a blessing than a curse.

“Well, there are worse things than being stuck in a skiing cabin with you, I suppose.” Oscar says after a moment, smirking slightly when he hears Logan chuckle under his breath from a few meters away on the couch. 

“You suppose? Ouch, man.”

“Well, I don’t want to boost your ego too much, you know. I’ve got to keep you tethered to Earth somehow.”

Logan tilts his head back and cackles, “Right, as if my ego has ever been a problem.”

Oscar shakes his head, stepping back from the window and padding over to the couch where Logan has made himself a little blanket cocoon in the corner of the sectional. It’s fairly warm inside the cabin, Oscar has made sure to stay on top of the heating so they don’t freeze, so he raises an eyebrow in amusement seeing Logan swaddled up like an infant. “Cold?”

“A little. Everywhere else in the cabin is fucking freezing except for right here.” 

Oscar shakes his head in amusement, letting himself fall back against the cushions right beside where Logan is cocooned. He opens up his arms, reaching over and pulling Logan, blankets and all, into them almost eagerly in an attempt to warm him up (and perhaps satisfy his own want to be close).

“Wait,” Logan says after a moment, worming around inside of the blanket until he’s managed to shed it like a second skin, “we’ll be warmer if you’re underneath the blanket with me.”

“Now you’re just making excuses to touch me.” Oscar points out with a grin, though he makes no move to get away. In fact, he helps dislodge the blanket from behind Logan and then pulls him into his arms with the utmost delicacy. Logan then carefully fluffs out the blanket, laying it across them in such a way to trap their shared body heat so it cannot escape. It’s warm, but Oscar doesn’t mind as long as Logan is comfortable.

“Something like that. But it is also warmer this way, so just sit there and look pretty while I leach all of your warmth.” Logan mumbles, his voice barely audible from where his mouth is pressed against the side of Oscar’s chest. “You’re surprisingly comfortable.”

“Surprisingly?” Oscar shoots back, looking down at Logan with a raised eyebrow. “My chest is the epitome of cozy, I’ll have you know.”

“No objections here. Now hush.”

“Hush?”

“Yes, hush. I can’t hear your heartbeat when you’re yapping like this.”

Oscar is stunned into silence, then, unable to formulate a worthy rebuttal. How can he, when Logan is being so painfully earnest and painfully adorable? Instead, he sighs softly in contentment and wraps his arms a little tighter around the small body in his arms. Logan lets out a small hum as he nuzzles his head further against Oscar’s chest, something like butterflies rudely flapping their wings at a frantic pace from deep within Oscar’s stomach. 

This is precisely why he cannot be upset by the blizzard snowing them in. How could he ever construe more personal time with Logan as a negative thing, especially when they’re both happy, healthy, and comfortable? 

In fact, there is simply nothing better. Nothing better at all.

“You reckon we’ll be out by next weekend?” Logan asks after a few moments of peaceful silence. Oscar rests his head back against the couch, looking up at the intricate chaos of the popcorn ceiling, and shrugs. 

“Don’t know. Depends on how fast the snow melts, I reckon. You in a big rush to get out of here?”

“No, not really.” Logan replies, gently rubbing Oscar’s arm beneath the blanket. “I was kind of hoping you’d say no.”

Oscar chuckles softly, then, tracing circles into Logan’s shoulder. “Well, to be the bearer of good news, we could always just extend our stay. We don’t need to wish for horrible weather to keep us together.” 

Logan seems to consider this for a moment, letting out a long, thoughtful sigh as he shifts himself in Oscar’s grip to a more comfortable position. “Yeah, I guess we could. At least until duty calls - I’d imagine you’ll be needed soon.”

“Soon, but not yet.” Oscar says, his lips pressed to the top of Logan’s head as he speaks. “I can pencil you in for a few more days, if you ask really nicely.”

Logan snorts, reaching up blindly to poke Oscar in the nose. Somehow, he manages on his first attempt, and Oscar wiggles his nose in retaliation, despite the fact that Logan cannot see him.

“What, like, ‘pretty please will you spend another few days with me after the blizzard melts?’” 

“Just like that, actually.” Oscar confirms, pressing a warm, loving kiss into Logan’s hair. “And yes, yes I will.”

“Perfect.” Logan whispers into Oscar’s chest, softly adjusting the blanket. “I had no plans to let you go, anyway.”

“Consider me trapped and happy, then.” comes Oscar’s content response, watching as Logan’s eyelashes flutter closed with ease. 

His chest feels warm and full in the best possible way, knowing he still has a week and change here to spend with Logan in the midst of his favorite season. After the New Year, he knows things will pick up again. There will be more gym training, and car testing, and meetings, and sponsorship responsibilities, but for right now?

For right now, he gets a brief moment of peace amongst the madness, and he couldn’t think of a single better person to spend it with.

Nico/Jenson being Logan's parents headcannons

To the anon who asked me to do this, I'm sorry I lost your question and that it took me so long. Hopefully you find this well.😭

Logan grew up keeping it a secret so people wouldn't think they're the reason he got into F1

He grew up speaking all the languages they taught him, but no one knows he speaks them.

He loves when people say he looks like Nico because he thinks his dad is pretty.

He celebrates mother's day with Nico and Father's day with Jenson (it started as a joke but now they've continuously done it)

When Logan got into his first kart, both his dad's cried.

Logan accidentally called Nico 'dad' in front of Lewis once and it's been awkward ever since

He cried in Jenson's arms when he won his first race.

Nico was weary of Logan making close friends in karting (war flashbacks ifykyk)

Nico and Jenson have had arguments with multiple people because they've talked about Logan's driving rudely.

Logan ignored Nico for a whole week after Nico told him that the tooth fairy wasn't real.

He then ignored Jenson for two weeks after Jenson told him that Santa wasn't real

Jenson calls Nico and Logan his blonde brats (neither of them like it but Jenson thinks it's funny)

Jenson tells the worst dad jokes in history and Logan stares at him. (He actually thinks they're funny but will never admit that)

Logan calls Nico 'Brittany' sometimes just to piss him off.

One time, a girl Logan was going out with called Jenson a dilf one, bc she didn't know he was his dad, and Logan almost threw up.

Jenson and Nico lost Logan at a race once when he was a kid and sent security out to find him. Logan was just sneaking food in the Mercedes garage.

Logan's favorite uncle is Sebastian.

Logan once hid Jenson's glasses from him because Nico told Jenson that he looked hot in them

When people ask Logan about his family, he stares at them like an owl until they go away.

Jenson took Logan fishing because, yk, 'American culture' and he found out he loved doing it with him

When Logan was younger, he used to hit Jenson every time he hugged or kissed Nico because "He's my dad, get away from him"

Little Logan was clingy to Nico which made Jenson a little jealous

Logan loved being carried by his dads when he was younger. But he preferred to be carried on Nico's hip and for Jenson to carry him on his back.

Logan used to take naps in the weirdest places and they've lost him many times because of it.

Jenson used to peel all Logan's fruits for him. He still does whenever he can get the chance.

Jenson and Logan once tried to make Nico breakfast but it ended with the smoke detector going off and about two ruined pans. Nico wouldn't let them in the kitchen for weeks afterwards.

Nico used to carry Logan everywhere and actually cried when he realized Logan was getting too big for him to do it anymore.

Jenson taught Logan how to ride a bike, but not without a busted knee and Nico smacking him upside the head for it.

They absolutely adore Logan's accent and the way he pronounces certain words

They make him say big words just to hear it in his accent.

Logan still naps in Nico's lap from time to time and Nico cries every time.

Logan used to sneak into his parents' room when he had a nightmare and would elbow Jenson in the ribs.

Nico had to comfort Jenson because he started bawling his eyes out when he found one of Logan's onesies from when he was a baby.

Logan still calls his dads some nights so they can talk him to sleep when he's having trouble.

Logan was one of those jealous kids that would get mad when he would see other kids around his dads.

Okay so this is the end but I'll probably make a pt2 with more young Logan and his dads because I have so many ideas.

[dear-ao3]

cause its abu dhabi i just wanted to say thank you so much for the f1 update post. it got me into the sport this year. on races i wasn't able to watch it was incredibly helpful for me to read and catch up on—and there was an absolute wealth of history on the sport i learned because of you. thank you <3333

oh you’re welcome! it was fun! definitely pushed me to my limits and beyond at times but it was certainly fun and i learned a whole lot myself.

there will be 2 more updates. abu dhabi obviously which i’ll try to have up by the end of the week and then a last and final one before christmas (fingers crossed) because obviously we need to know the end of silly season sfill and i’m sure there’s other drama that’s going to happen because it’s f1. and of course, it’s not really over until we get all the weird christmas videos secret santa :)

but thanks for sticking with it. i’m sure not everything on these is accurate, half of it is spelled wrong and i probably fucked up a whole lot of things but i’m glad people across the board seemed to like it. i really appreciate everyone’s asks and comments saying it got them into it or helped them reconnect or connect with friends and family members and partners. it was lovely. it was wonderful. and i’m still not entirely unconvinced there’s a ferrari higher up following me.

Liam Lawson (VCARB) - Secret Santa

Day 9 of Christmas

Prompt: F1 secret santa exchange

25 Days Of Christmas

The rain drizzled down the Brazilian paddock, but the cool air inside the garages and motorhomes buzzed with excitement. It was media day, and it was that time of year again: picking the names for the Santa exchange, organized for the drivers to loosen up before the final race of the season. Rookie F1 driver Y/n Y/l/n stood by, a little nervous but mostly excited. This was her first year in Formula 1, and being asked to participate in the fun, she felt like part of the big family she’d always dreamed of joining.

After a quick drawing session, Y/n had pulled out a familiar name: Liam Lawson. A small smile crept onto her face. She had known Liam since they were kids, racing karts together. She remembered how obsessed he used to be (and still secretly was) with Cars, especially Lightning McQueen. It was the perfect opportunity for a gift, a playful nod to the good old days.

The paddock buzzed with energy as drivers bustled about, swapping jokes, preparing for the annual Secret Santa event. It was a light-hearted break from the intensity of the track, a chance for the drivers to relax and have a little fun. Fans eagerly awaited the video, and speculation had been rampant online about who would get who for Secret Santa this year. Y/N stood outside the Haas motorhome, tapping her foot nervously. She loved Christmas, but this event had her more on edge than usual. There was something about the thought of exchanging gifts with her fellow drivers (especially Liam) that made her heart race a little faster. She’d had a crush on Liam for as long as she could remember, ever since their karting days. It wasn’t exactly a secret to anyone but him, apparently. And according to the endless Twitter threads and Instagram posts, fans desperately wanted them to get together too.

The crew had already set up the cameras in the VCARB motorhome when Liam walked in, a bit curious but eager to see what he’d gotten. His eyes immediately lit up as he spotted the Lightning McQueen logo on the wrapping paper. "You ready for your gift?" The media coordinator grinned, appearing beside him. Liam forced a smile. "I guess so. Who got me again?" The coordinator's grin widened, clearly hiding the fact they knew exactly what was about to unfold. "You'll see." They teased, watching as he tore into the gifts, pulling out each item with increasing excitement.

"No way!"He exclaimed, pulling out the Crocs first, then the cap, then the socks. "This is amazing!" The camera zoomed in on his wide grin as he held up the Lightning McQueen backpack, laughing in disbelief. But it was the matching Lightning and Mater keyrings that truly caught his attention. His fingers brushed over the necklace, and for a moment, his smile softened into something more thoughtful.

"Whoever got this-" He started, looking up. "definitely knows me well." He looks across the paddock seeing Y/n grinning from ear to ear. "You?!" His eyes twinkled with excitement as he lifted up the keyrings. "I know youre obsessed with Cars so its the only logical thing to get you, mate." Y/n stammered, feeling heat rush to her cheeks. "And I know you still are, so I thought..." She trailed off as Liam scanned the matching keyrings. He chuckled softly, the sound making her stomach flip. "This is amazing, Y/n! I dont think you understand how much I actually love this." He thumbed the keyrings for a moment, then looked back up at her, a playful grin tugging at the corners of his lips. "Do you realize what this means?"

Her brows furrowed. "What?" Liam dangled the keyrings in front of her. "It means our keys will always match." Y/n's heart did somersaults. "Yeah, I guess they will." She laughed, trying to play it cool, though internally, she was screaming. Oh my God, stop being cute! Liam glanced at the media team with a small smile. "I think this is the best Secret Santa gift I've ever gotten. Thank you, Y/n. Seriously." He smiled as he got up and pulled her in for a hug. "You’re welcome." She murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, still trying to process how her heart could be pounding so loud. With Liam grinning down at his gift, the media team signaled it was time to switch gears. Y/n waved at him one last time as she was led to the Haas garage for her turn to open her gift.

As she arrived, she found herself nervously glancing around. Her palms were sweaty, and her heart was still doing its usual Liam-induced gymnastics. The crew handed her a large, neatly wrapped gift, and she immediately noticed the familiar handwriting on the tag.

For Y/n. Hope you love this as much as I did picking it out. - Liam.

Her breath hitched. "Liam? He got me?" She carefully peeled back the pink wrapping paper, revealing a collection of Barbie-themed goodies. "Why, Barbie?" The crew asked. "I used to have a Barbie helmet, and my first kart was pink because I just loved Barbie." She smiled. There was a Barbiecolouringg book, a vintage Barbie and Ken doll, and at the bottom, a custom-made shirt. It was bright pink, of course, with a photo of her edited over a Barbie doll under the words, She’s Everything and below that, Liam’s face had been superimposed on a Ken doll with the words, He’s just Ken. Y/n burst out laughing, her heart swelling with warmth. She held up the shirt for the camera, turning to face the crew. "This is incredible. Oh my God, he did not!"

Her laughter died down, replaced by a fond smile. "He's the sweetest." She smiled. She stared at the note, her heart beating a little faster than usual. He remembered. She looked into the camera, her cheeks flushing pink. "Thank you, Liam. This is perfect." She said, a soft sincerity in her voice before turning away, overwhelmed by the emotions that had hit her all at once.

Y/n: Liam! I love the gift, thank you so much. I can’t believe you remembered the Barbie suit! You’re the best.

Back in the VCARB garage, Liam felt his phone buzz in his pocket. Seeing Y/N's name pop up, he couldn't help the grin that spread across his face.

Liam: Of course, I remembered, I’m glad you liked it. You totally made my day with the Lightning McQueen stuff.

Y/n: You’re welcome :) And I’m still laughing at the shirt. Did you really make that yourself?

Liam: What can I say? I’m a man of many talents ;)

Y/n: Well, you did a great job. Might have to wear it to the paddock tomorrow

Liam: You wouldn't dare.

Y/n: Watch me, Lawson.

Liam chuckled softly as he pocketed his phone. The media team might not have captured it on camera, but he had a sneaking suspicion that today’s gift exchange was going to be a memorable one, not just for the fans, but for them, too. Meanwhile, Y/n leaned back against the wall of the Haas garage, a wide smile on her face as she looked at the keyring in her hand. Maybe the fans were onto something after all.

As the video aired a few days later, fans went wild with excitement. Twitter exploded with hashtags like #LiamAndY/n and #SecretSantaGoals. Everyone had seen the chemistry, and for once, Y/n and Liam couldn’t deny that maybe—just maybe—they weren’t so delusional after all.

SECRET SANTA CHAOS

pairing: f1 paddock and the secret santa

genre: friendship

trope: found family

word cunt: 291

tw: none

a/n: love it

The air in the paddock buzzed with an unusual kind of excitement. Christmas lights adorned team motorhomes, garlands wrapped around railings, and a towering tree stood proudly in the center of the hospitality area, covered in ornaments that ranged from elegant to downright chaotic. It was Secret Santa night, and tensions were high—not because of rivalries, but because some drivers took the tradition more seriously than others.

Max leaned against a table, smirking as Lando unwrapped a bright orange bucket hat with “World’s Slowest Driver” embroidered across the front. “Really, mate?” Lando said, holding it up for everyone to see.

“Thought it’d suit you,” Max said with a shrug, clearly pleased with himself.

On the other side of the room, Charles unwrapped his gift—a tiny remote-controlled Ferrari that zoomed across the floor the moment he pressed the controller. He grinned, his dimples on full display. “Whoever got me this, thank you. I’ll take it to Maranello and show them the real upgrades we need.”

Nearby, Lewis opened a vegan recipe book and laughed. “Alright, who’s trying to convert the paddock one meal at a time?”

George raised a hand sheepishly. “Thought it might inspire you to host a plant-based dinner for everyone.”

Meanwhile, Carlos was struggling to figure out his gift. “What… is this?” he asked, holding up what looked like a knitted, vaguely car-shaped sweater.

Daniel’s laugh gave him away instantly. “It’s art, mate. Wear it with pride!”

The night was filled with laughter and teasing as drivers exchanged gifts, some thoughtful, others ridiculous. When the unwrapping was done, Toto raised a glass of champagne. “To another year of racing, rivalry, and… whatever this madness is.”

The paddock erupted in cheers, united—for one night, at least—by the chaos of Christmas.

When he turns his back on Mark it is to Giancarlo with a bemused expression on his face. He is still lounging on his bed on the other side of the room, fireproofs stretching over his ribcage and chest.

“What?” Fernando asks perhaps a bit too defensively.

Giancarlo smiles wider. “Nothing.”

omg laura have you seen the new baby collection of max’s merch?

i don’t know if f1 exists in the preloved verse but if it does please tell me he will dress luna with redbull merch because he’s a big fan but he never had enough money to dress her with it 🥹🥹 or even better, that charles will get him some because he notices he likes it so much

Oh that is so adorable, maybe he will get Charles in secret Santa and send him some baby merch as a hint? ��

Sooo.. in terms of preloved I will answer below the cut, not really spoilers just some random thoughts.

There's no mention of F1 in the story itself but I think it would still exist. If Max were to mate with Charles and become part of the royal family then he may even be invited to hand the trophies out on the podium.

The baby clothes are so cute. On my posting schedule the story should end a couple weeks before Christmas and I am thinking of potentially writing a bonus Christmas chapter so plenty of opportunity for gift giving 🥰

Easy one for the driver opinion bingo: lance!

Leaving my two biggest pookies for last... 🤭

Where do I even begin with Lance... I adore him. His passion and fight to keep driving despite all the hardship and hate he gets thrown at him. His never-ending love for his family and friends. The way he never gives up.

He might be a pay driver, but he is also the center of the whole Aston Martin team. It is built around him and he's had the same people working with him since Racing Point and even Williams. He's the thing that holds the team together. He's always loyal to his people ❤️ He acknowledges his position is priviledged, but has also always stayed humble. He knows his father is paying for his career, but he never let it get to his head. If you had endless money, would you not do the same for your kid? Give them everything you possibly could to reach their dreams ❤️ (brb, gonna cry for a bit about them...) And he loves his mom so so much, too, and adores his big sister ❤️

He is maybe the most thoughtful person on the grid. He might be shy and quiet and keep to himself, but he's always paying attention. And he's always kind to others, just look at the secret santa videos of him buying actual real gifts, not just some merch or other promo stuff, like many others. He never gets political, always just says how he feels about himself and thanks the team after every quali and race.

It's great to see him get a little more comfortable again now that Fernando is in the team. He just needs someone beside him who respects him and sees him as he is and not just as some rich kid from Montreal. The way he shut down after entering F1 was heartbreaking. He was always smiling and talking non-stop and then... completely changed over the years. But hopefully now he gets that smile back, at least it seems like he's been feeling better in the past couple of years ! ❤️

His only crimes are having a loving father, being best friends with a frenchman and falling in love with a crazy old Spanish guy. That's all 😭❤️

Two Omegas and A Significant Other Kind Of Love

Charles Leclerc/Lando Norris

Main Tags: Alpha/Omega Dynamics, Omega/Omega, Coming Out, Secret Relationship

Summary: Lando and Charles. Two Omegas. Two Omegas who are married. Secretly of course as there would be a uproar if they ever came out however Charles wants to. Charles wants to kiss his husband whenever he wants, hold hands out in the street. He wants that all but it's just Lando that he has to convince.

What For? This was written for @racingorange for the @f1-fic-secret-santa collection on A03…

Actual Part of Story:

Love. Love can be described as an intense feeling of deep affection for somebody or something. It can be one of the most incredible things and feelings in the world when you manage to find it with the right person however, at the same time it can be one of the worst and most painful if you give your love to the wrong person. Love can come in different forms and you have different types of love too depending on who the other person is to you. You have the love that you give to close family members. The love that you give to friends (although this can vary and some friends could probably be classed under the love that you give to family members). Then you have the love that you give to a significant other. The last kind of love is the kind of love that most people dream of. It’s the kind of love that Lando never thought that he would have. It’s the kind of love that he had now got. Love is a spectrum and people in your life will be spread up and down that line/spectrum however not a lot of people get to put someone right at the top of that line as that is someone that you will love unconditionally. Your soulmate. Not everyone finds that especially so young yet here Lando was with his soulmate.

Love should be an amazing thing that can happily be shared with other loved ones in your life and overall just be shared with the world or be allowed out together and hold hands without horrible repercussions. It shouldn’t matter who you love, however, because of some people whose opinions shouldn’t matter, it does. That’s why Lando never thought that he would get or find the ‘significant other’ kind of love and that’s just because he’s a little bit ‘different’ to the so-called ‘normal’ people. Love between men doesn’t matter. Love between women doesn’t matter. Love between trans and non-binary people doesn’t matter. Truthfully, nobody really cares about your primary gender and therefore in that aspect it’s fine to date anyone that you want with zero hate or opinions as all anybody seems to care about is the secondary gender (alpha, beta or omega). Due to specific laws, all 3 secondary genders should be treated the same and not discriminated against however there are some stubborn old people who still look down on omegas and betas for that matter and demand that they stick to the traditional gender roles. That’s not the main problem for Lando though. The problem comes when talking about which secondary genders can or more like should date which secondary genders. For example, worldwide it’s alright for alphas to court and date omegas- well actually that is expected and beta’s dating other betas, alphas or omegas is also allowed but not preferable (more precisely betas dating alphas or omegas is not preferable) however omegas dating other omegas or alphas dating other alphas is often frowned upon. Legally they can happily date one another or even get married and adopt children however a lot of people in society frown upon this happening and therefore they are often shunned from the world so most people end up hiding that part of them. It’s safer that way.

People should just be allowed to love who they want and be able to be with them in public. That is in a perfect world though and unfortunately the world does not work that way.

Things in my F1 DR

Okay so, I have been on a fix with my F1 DR and thought that I would share with you guys some things that happen and other little details.

To preface: I have not yet shifted to this DR but these are just things that I have scripted; I have scripted that I drive for Porsche F1 (replacing HAAS) and have an OC as my second driver; also, SV5 is my mentor/father figure/sponsor and I am the godmother of his kids

Lmk what you guys have scripted, I would love some more F1 shifter friends!!!

I currently live in Monaco but are renovating an Italian farmhouse

Jeremy Clarkson is our Team Principal??? (Still debating this one lmk what you guys think)

Seb’s kids always want to watch my races but they have no idea about time zones so if a race is happening during their bedtimes, Seb just records the race and plays it during the day and they think that it is live

I go on the Screaming Meals podcast and the boys (James, Clement & Marcus) dress up in dresses without telling me.

One of the drivers gets me a inflatable dinosaur suit for Secret Santa before the Abu Dhabi race (I have been talking about getting one throughout the year) and I walk around the paddock in it for fun.

Sebastian tells Lewis to keep an eye out for me when he can’t be there and he (Lewis) becomes like an uncle

My radio checks are almost exclusively quotes from movies

When I get super drunk I start talking in fluent Latin and my friends call it the “Exorcism Stage”

I can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under 20 seconds

I got my Bachelor’s Degree in engineering just for fun

My teammate and I do an advertisement/video for Uber (one of our sponsors) where we become Uber drivers in Porsches and deliver food (in our race suits and everything) and we turn it into a competition to see who gets the most clients

When I went to school in the UK (Same school as Lando) I lived with the Norris family and Lando is now like a big brother

Logan, Oscar and I were all roommates whilst at Prema together

I filled in for Charles Leclerc at Ferrari at the 2022 Silverstone Grand Prix (I scripted that he got sick and couldn’t race) and the protestors came on to the track just as I was going around and I said over the radio “Are they trying to be compost or something”

I don’t have a social media presence before joining F1 but have to have one as a part of my contract, but then I get my account access privileges revoked after a bunch of PR incidents

My teammate and I find a couple of those Razor indoor go karts and race them around the office

So yeh, that was just some of the stuff so far. Might do a part 2 if you guys want!?

Grid kids do F1 secret Santa. Azalea chooses Linea and she gets her very thoughtful gift. Linea is suprised & touched because she didn't expect such a gift from Azalea

The camera was rolling when Azalea walks over and picks a name from the santa hat, she unfolds the paper and smiles and nods telling them that she was happy with her name. She was excited about this years Secret Santa and secretly didn’t want anyone in her friendship group. She had a lot of admiration for Linnea, after all she was a fellow female in this man’s sport. She stalked her socials and took note some things that she had mentioned in passing. The last week of the season came around and it was time to exchange gifts. Linnea was handed a beautiful gift bag, she opened it and the biggest smile escapes on her face. She shows it off to the camera. ‘I got a gingerbread house to make’ she smiles. ‘I used to do this every year with my dad’ she beams. She then finds two ornaments of a nutcracker and a mouse king, she then admits that it was a family tradition for Rosberg’s. Her face softens when she gets told that it was Azalea, who she had little conversations about things which she clearly remembered and gave her such a lovely gift. Linnea finds her afterward and pulls her in for a huge hug and thanks her.
