#misogyny in Motorsport is crazy

[mrslatifi]

BIG advocate for f1 fans that don’t know anything about f1. It’s so annoying how there’s a god complex with people (men) who think you have to have an engineering degree to enjoy the sport.

I absolutely love people who understand every aspect of the sport and get really into it, don’t get me wrong!! You guys keep it real!! But also, the “you’re only here because they’re hot” or “I miss when we actually talked about the racing” arguments are so ridiculous.

So what if I am?? So what if I just wanna talk about how pretty the shade of Ferrari red is or how Lando looks like a rabbit in some pics??

In fact, since you said that, I’m gonna go out of my way to appear even dumber just to piss you off further. Next man that says I’m not a “real” f1 fan, I’m gonna ask him how many tyres f1 cars have and confuse Carlos and Charles. You wanna play dumb? I can play STUPID.

“You’re the reason we aren’t taken seriously” is also such an annoying, misogynistic argument. Why are you trying to pit women against each other and separate them into categories of understands vs doesn’t understand?? Acceptable vs not acceptable??

I stand with my girlies on both ends of the spectrum!! idc, grow up!! you can’t stop me!!

f1wagupdates Max Verstappen spotted leaving his hotel with a mystery woman this morning after celebrating winning his third World Championship last night. According to sources, the two partied together with the team and friends at a club following his victory before heading back to the hotel. Her face is hidden but rumor has it this could be a new romance for the World Champ. Looks like Max is enjoying the spoils of another successful season!

lightsoutmax probably just a random groupie, max isn’t the relationship type

dutchlioness no way that’s a groupie

f1wagupdates i’m inclined to agree, they look pretty serious!

formulanone am i crazy or does that look like y/n leclerc to anyone else?

redbulletin you’re crazy

gridgossip i mean i wouldn’t be surprised. i bet this has been going on for a while between them! it would explain how she got the CTO job out of nowhere

f1girlie or she got it because she’s qualified and was literally trained by adrian newey to take over for him? it’s 2024, leave the misogyny at the door

maddermax i don’t think max would get involved with someone from his team

circuitqueen she looks so familiar but i can’t place her! it’s driving me crazy

verstappenupdates whoever she is, i need more details! our world champion’s love life is suddenly looking very interesting 😍

maxverstappen1 Five World Championships!

This one feels extra special because I get to celebrate with the love of my life who has been by my side for over three incredible years now ❤️

So I want to dedicate this championship to Y/N

Seeing Y/N thrive as Red Bull’s Chief Technical Officer and pursue her passion for motorsport after everything she has been through has been so special. Her brilliance and determination inspire me daily, both on and off the track. And her contributions to the team have been invaluable to our success. I am so lucky to have such an incredible partner to share these championships with

Winning races and championships is great but sharing my life with someone as smart, driven and caring as Y/N is the greatest gift I could ever ask for. I truly am the luckiest guy in the world. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us both. Here’s to many more years of continuing to chase our dreams together!

verstappenupdates our guy is all grown up 🥹 you two are goals!

f1wagupdates omg! when did this happen??? why has it been a secret for so long?

lightsoutmax pretty sure they got together the year before y/n was hired by red bull

redbulletin and they probably kept it a secret because people would have found a way to twist it into something negative

officialorangearmy relationship goals to the max! you two are perfect together 🧡

y/n_leclerc What a season! Winning a double championship for the second time feels so surreal. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for my incredible team at Red Bull Racing who made this possible through their tireless hard work. We did it 🏆

And most of all, I am grateful for my incredible partner. Max, you’ve supported me every step of the way, encouraging me to follow my dreams and become who I was meant to be. You showed me what true unconditional love feels like

I am where I am now because of you. Your spirit pushes me to achieve greatness. Your kindness lifted me up when I needed it most. Your smile keeps me going on tough days. I couldn’t ask for a better teammate in life ❤️

The future is so bright for us. I can’t wait to see what we create together next. I love you! Let’s keep aiming for the stars ✨

Some headcannons from this fanfic family

Shoutout to @maxlarens for letting me infodump these onto her

Layla’s favorite uncle/driver is definitely Lando. I feel like personality wise they’re very similar. Very charismatic. On the contrary, Luca’s favorite driver is his dad.

Both of the kids try karting, but Luca doesn’t like it so only Layla gets into F1

Reader doesn’t want the twins to carry the weight of the Verstappen name, and also she doesn’t want her kids named after J*s, so she gives Max the choice of either taking her last name, or they take Max’s mom’s last name. I feel like he would choose for the kids to have Sophie’s last name which once you told her after you gave birth, she definitely cried.

Luca quit karting at a pretty young age, so he has the pretty normal life of graduating from secondary school and going to college. He decides that he wants to become a lawyer (he got his mom’s good negotiation skills). He probably goes to some prestigious college in his mom’s home country and decides that he wants to become an immigration lawyer because he knows that he will never have to worry about money as long as he’s alive.

I see Luca being more reserved than his sister, very shy with strangers and this manifests as being quiet around strangers in his adulthood except in the courtroom where he can get very loud

Max definitely let’s Layla (future wdc) and Luca (boy) know that it’s okay to express your emotions and it’s okay to cry. As @maxlarens said healing his inner child through his children

But I think both Layla and Max understand that if Layla shows any emotion besides like anger, she will be torn apart by the media because

Misogyny

Layla definitely realizes her privilege over other women in motorsports being the daughter of THE Max Verstappen basically guaranteed her a seat when she was old enough

I feel like once he had a daughter in karting, Max becomes a big advocate for women in motorsports because he wants her to have the same opportunities that he had

Did I mention that Layla becomes the first female wdc? I think that really opens the door for women in motorsports

Layla definitely has a hot pink helmet which she helped a female artist create

I like to think that she takes Max’s number, so even if they don’t share a last name, they’re still connected

Layla is definitely pansexual. I feel like it just fits her

I feel like while Layla is quite charismatic, she does have moments where she channels her inner Max and gives the media some snarky remark

Fans go crazy over Layla and Luca because you have this gorgeous woman who’s a world class athlete, and then Luca is just some guy. Just a lawyer, not even a world famous lawyer who makes millions, just some everyday lawyer.

I definitely think Layla and Luca both have a good sense of style. They get it from their mother (and Uncle Lando) because god knows they aren’t learning from Max (reader is definitely Max’s personal stylist and fans rejoice over this)

Layla definitely leans more towards the fem side of the sapphic spectrum, but there are times when she is more butch. Especially when she’s in her fireproofs and stuff. She’s against wearing makeup while driving because she just finds it pointless and it takes up time that could be spent strategizing
