#lestappen on and off track terrorism

[valyrfia]

max saying that either carlos or charles can be his biggest opponent "depending on who can be the most consistent" on the same day that charles is insistent on highlighting his own incredible consistency in media oh this is a highly calculated coordinated attack

[milesforstyless]

Max: No it's just unfair. I'm winning. He wants me to pick up the bottle. I pick up the bottle. He sprays me in a surprise attack. I spray him back and after he looks all angelic and innocent! It's not fair!

Charles: nothing, just an INCHident 😇😇

[maxplaining-leclerifying]

look, there’s a lot of conversations happening around this gp but.

WE’VE GOTTEN LESTAPPEN ON TRACK DUELING BACK.

alright, is it for the positions we want? (p1 and p2)? no.

BUT THEY’RE BACK BABY.

charles defending max off on those ancient tires in that lawnmover of a car??? GREATEST THING I’VE SEEN SINCE MONACO.

watching on the live timing as their little dots were overlapped? AMAZING.

welcome back track terrors, we missed you.

[monacodarling]

Where is my lestappen kart dads au

Kimi and Ollie gokart and are like rivals and are quite popular for being track terrors but off track they are actually best friends

On the other hand their respective dads…are off track terrors like the stewards and coaches get tired of them complaining and they have this tension and when they had a parents kart racing event the inchident happens

And maybe Kimi and ollie do parent trap and forces their dads to get along….

…ends up as step siblings in the process lmao

max verstappen admit you pushed me into that puddle and i'll let it go!

oscar piastri i see why the entire internet is convinced you two are secretly dating

charles leclerc excuse me? max verstappen they're what? sabrina carpenter lestappen is lestappening

daniel ricciardo to be fair, they think k-mag and nico are in love with each other, have been since the whole 'suck my balls' thing

daphne jones didn't we have this conversation already?

max verstappen that was in the other group chat

sabrina carpenter YOU HAVE A GROUP CHAT WITHOUT US? THIS IS TREASON!

oscar piastri OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

charles leclerc THIS IS TREACHEROUS!

daphne jones oh grow up, it was started before you three were even in the picture. we don't use it much these days.

sabrina carpenter good. otherwise i'd throw a fit.

max verstappen don't you always?

sabrina carpenter i will make your life miserable verstappen

max verstappen you already do by existing every day.

lando norris MR. RICCIARDO ARE YOU OR ARE NOT A MASTERMIND?! THE TWITTER GIRLIES WANT TO KNOW!!

max verstappen i completely forgot daphne had performed at the 2016 austin grand prix.

lewis hamilton huh that did happen

lando norris DANIEL ARE YOU A MASTERMIND?

logan sargeant was going to ask why but then i realized what the song is about.

mark webber i don't get it? what's the song about?

oscar piastri forgive him, he's uncultured.

mark webber that's it, no more sabrina time for you. oscar piastri sabrina said you can't separate siblings. tell him charles! charles leclerc yeah! what she said! lando norris wait a fucking minute, are you all together right now?

carlos sainz is that family thing working for you guys?

max verstappen it actually is. you should've seen the group chat after texas.

max verstappen on second thought maybe not. daniel ricciardo yeah, that's not a good idea. oscar piastri things were said by sabrina. charles leclerc well when you say it like that you make it sound bad. nothing bad was said, they're being dramatic. although, she might be in love with fernando daniel ricciardo you do remember the spa inchident don't you? alex albon they call him fernando rizzlonso

lando norris renamed daniel ricciardo

mastermind hilarious lando. truely.

lando norris you never confirmed or denied it. i took matters into my own hands.

pierre gasly question for sabrina, how does one get a song like nonsense written about them?

sabrina carpenter what an odd question pear gasly, i'd say by dating a singer? which is better for me because that way i can steal your girlfriend with no obstacles.

aelx albon she's a menace.

max verstappen THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING!

oscar piastri it's not that great of a song. i don't get the hype?

sabrina carpenter added one person

charles leclerc max doesn't either?

oscar piastri what the hell are you talking about sabrina?

strikethrough means i couldn't tag you

¡leclerc-s speaks! i’m back for 2024! i tried something different for this chapter and i think i liked it so i'm going to change it for all of the other parts, which is going to be a bitch because it's gonna take forever. it's also not that big of a change but i think it makes a difference.

¡disclaimer! this is in no way making assumptions about the people involved in this story, this is all fake. it is a fanfiction please don't take any of what is said seriously. this is all for entertainment purposes and as a creative outlet. enjoy!

"Charles, the tow from Max put you up into P3 today. Was that something you discussed beforehand?"

Charles laughs, turning the microphone in his hand. "You know, he has never given me a tow in his entire career, ever. But maybe it's because he forgot to get me a birthday present this year. If that is it, though, a P1 would have been nicer."

"Well, you're the closest to overtaking Lando in the championship standings," Will says. "And Max is also your best mate, right?"

"You know, Will, you say this! But he never says he loves me anymore. So maybe it is only about the championship. Or he was just there by accident. It's all a surprise to me." Charles looks behind him, because he knows, like he always does, Max is nearby. "Max, will you please come over here?"

Max, who is tying his boot laces and is therefore stuck in-frame, holds up a thumbs up. He hops a couple steps as he tightens a knot. "Hello," he says, into the microphone. "Only one microphone? What kind of show is this?"

"I wasn't expecting you," Will says, glancing between them. It's the seventh year of the two of them terrorizing reporters and generally everyone on track, so. Charles has seen that weary look before. But he asked. "Well, Max, I was just asking Charles about your giving him that slipstream back there. It put him up into P3, that was lucky."

"Who did I give a slipstream to?" Max does his thing where he stays deadpan until someone's taken him seriously, and then laughs. He points at Charles. "This guy? I've never seen him in my life."

Charles elbows him. "I was just telling Will how you are very rude to me." He looks into the camera. "This is why he gave me the tow, because he does not want me to kill him later."

"He is always so dramatic. That's why I gave him the tow, so he would shut up." Max turns to Charles. "It gave you, what–"

"Like half a tenth," Charles says. "So I did, like, a 1.09.153, and you–"

"1.09.219," Max says.

"You were losing in Sector 2?"

"Yeah, fuck, it is so bad with the bumps! And your Sector 3 was–"

"It was shit, yeah, that's why it helped with the slipstream."

"But Sector 1 is okay?"

"Yeah, I had the fastest there, and you did too once, I think–"

"Yeah! But then we are losing all this time." Max unzips his race suit and gives it a pull. "The humidity here, woof, man."

"You know, you both probably just earned some community service," says Will, who is still here.

Charles bumps Max's shoulder, laughing. "Sorry! Sorry. You saw, didn't you? I have to pay them $10,000?"

"But only half if you don't do it again!" Max takes the microphone. "Hello to the FIA, he did it again."

"Mate, shut up, they are everywhere."

"Well, maybe if you're lucky, they'll send you together. Looks like these two have a lot to discuss, Ruth, so. We'll send it back to you." Will salutes the camera. When the cameraman says 'clear,' he sighs in relief. He turns to them. "Thanks, lads, for whatever that was. Max, you'll keep your secret, I suppose." He wanders off.

Charles slings an arm around Max's shoulders, squeezing. "My slipstream was very nice."

"Do not get used to it." Max bumps his hip, reaches up to ruffle his hair before breaking away. "Fucking pass Lando tomorrow, okay?"

"Well, thanks, Max, I was not planning to until you said this." Charles rolls his eyes, but it's all fond. Sometimes it's just. Nice to be where they are together.

Someone's calling Max. He holds up his phone as he walks away backwards. "Play me back in checkers, you fucker, I'll see you tomorrow," he calls. Someone scolds him in the background.

xxx

Max runs to his team and throws himself into their arms. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. He can't stop thinking it. That didn't just happen. It's a dream.

GP's not there yet. The pit wall is so fucking far away here. Max wants to see him so badly. They fucking did it. He's not sure if he's even making words, he's just fucking yelling.

Everyone's hugging him and clapping him on the back and he wants to cry, he might actually be crying, a little bit.

And Daniel's there. He reaches out and Max hugs him with everything he's got, pressing his nose into Daniel's shoulder. If he sobs once, then so what. "Baby, baby," Daniel's saying. "Holy shit, who are you? Are you fucking real?"

Max only lets go because someone's calling his name. He kisses Daniel, just quickly, like, in a polite public way. But he actually wants to climb over the barrier and put his tongue down his throat. Daniel told him he could win from anywhere in Brazil. Max had thought he was being stupid.

"I love you," he says, stealing one more kiss. "Love you, fuck, sorry I was a bitch earlier."

Daniel has to talk into his ear so Max can hear him. "Oh god, Max, it's fine, who the fuck cares. Babe. You're incredible. I'm so proud of you. That was, like– I think that was your best drive ever." It feels like it. It really, actually feels like it. Daniel nudges him, says, "Go," because his name is still coming faintly from somewhere.

He turns to look who's calling him, and he's met with a body barreling straight into his ribcage.

Charles rocks them back and forth, not letting go for anything. "Max, oh my god, oh my god." They're both soaked through. Charles's hand is freezing where it's squeezing the back of his neck. When they pull apart, they're grinning at each other like Max just won the championship.

"It almost didn't happen because of you," Max says. "That was not a car's width!"

"Oh nooo, not a car's width." Charles shakes his head, still grinning. "I'm going to tell everyone I let you win."

"Oh, is that why you did the pit stop? I appreciate that." Max hugs him again. "That was so much fun. I think you're the only one who almost got me. P5, yeah? That's well done."

"Yeah. Car was shit. It is not terrible." Charles presses a kiss to the side of his head. "You are fucking crazy. We are not leaving Brazil. Think about something stupid to do tonight."

They're calling him for interviews. He has to go. He's taken way too long already. He won– he actually, really, fucking won– so he gets to be up last, but it looks like Pierre's wrapping up.

"Got it," he calls to Charles, as he jogs away.

Lestappen headcanon ✨

(For day1 of 16 days of Lestappen)

Track terror Charles Leclerc, always up to no good. ⬆️

Champion in waiting Max Verstappen, forced to be more serious ⬆️

Charles and Max are the ultimate rivals on track - but off track, they couldn’t be more different.

Charles loves messing with people, with little pranks here and there but Max is much more reserved. Charles thinks it’s because he’s shy and becomes determined change that.

One day, they both get beat by this random kid - and Charles needs to take revenge! He decides he needs an accomplice.

He finds Max sulking, disappointed to have lost. Charles comes up to explain his plan in broken English and wild hand gestures for words he couldn’t remember. This gets Max to smile and agree to help.

They set up something simple, like a bucket of water on top of a door. They huddle together to watch.

They burst out laughing when the other kid gets drenched. Charles laughing the most, rolling on the floor. Max can’t stop smiling

They get up to many shenanigans after that..

[pressradio]

i have such a love-hate relationship with Max. On one hand, sometimes i find myself even rooting for him (esp when he’s against the dreaded orange team and their token f-boy). and i kinda like their “destined rivals” relationship with Charles.

but sometimes, he just says something and i’m immediately put off.

Yes, I kinda also go with “If I can’t get Charles win, let it be Max” (or Lewis, probably until he isn’t in Ferrari)

I like Max in general: his nerdy nature that chooses sim racing instead of proper rest, him being a hater in press and the fact that he dgaf about pr and deliver his thoughts without filtration (I don’t like his thoughts most of the time, but I like the trait itself). And I like him on track also most of the time.

But there is also but, because if there hadn’t been “but” I would support him instead of Charles.

I still don’t get last year 1-lap track terrorism against Charles. Like uwu lestappen is cute (really cute in everything), but like bro you wouldn’t have died if you overtook 2 laps later, you had freaking rocketship under your ass.

As I said I don’t like most of his thoughts and “neutral i’m not interested in politic” position. I mean Charles is also questionable but he at least trying to make it more pr and pretend he is not educated enough. But it’s OK.

But recent hypocrisy is killing me. “I had my wheel-to-wheel battles, I just want to win with 20 seconds lead”. And it’s apparently not boring, like those people in midfield entertain audience. Very convenient. But when he ended up in midfield it started being boring.

And then we have Max fans with insane insecurity level who feel in danger because of ONE Leclerc win in 2 years. Oh no, in a good car under insane pressure mistake-prone doesn’t do mistakes, but our mature mistake-free champion does. Who could imagine that the car plays a key role in driver confidence. Secret knowledge.

(To clarify, I think that doing mistakes is totally OK, they are not robots. What pisses me off is fans’ “IT’S NOT THE SAME” agenda)

To finish this rant, I would say (again) that Max wouldn’t survive a season in Ferrari. Especially in pre-Fred Ferrari.
