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 😇😇

Pairing: Platonic! Grid x reader. Charles Leclerc x Reader (slight)
Warnings: swearing, slight injury 
Word count: 3.3k
F1 Masterlist
━━━━ ༻𖥸༺ ━━━━
#1 Lando Norris
Cheers thundered throughout the track, vibrating through the floor and buzzing into the bodies of the podium winners. Max Verstappen stood in the middle, arms raised high as he bared his Grand Prix trophy to the roaring crowd. Another successful race, another win under his belt. The Dutch anthem was still ringing in his ears, and his smile widened as he turned to his left, finding his teammate beaming with her P3 trophy in hand. A double podium for Red Bull and another step closer to the Constructors Championship.
Jumping down from the P2 podium, Lando raced over to his friends, eager to share in their victories. He threw his arms around Max and Yn, dragging them both into a hug and shouting congratulations into their ears. Disentangling herself from the papaya racer, Yn turned to face the crowd, eyes scanning for a dark-haired Ferrari racer. Dimples deepening as he made eye contact with her, Charles blew his girlfriend a celebratory kiss. Unimpressed that Yn was distracted and not listening to his overjoyed shouts, Lando waved his arms about in front of her, hoping to garner her attention. Miscalculating his movements, his face morphed from delight to terror. Around them, cameras caught the moment that Yn’s face morphed from heart eyes to pain as the trophy came into contact with her skull. 
“Oh, fuck! Yn, I am so sorry! Oh, no. That was so hard.”
Recoiling from the McLaren driver, her free hand came up to nurse the red mark forming on her forehead. Lando chased after her, apologies spilling from his mouth. Yn beat him back with her elbow. 
“Did you just hit me with your trophy?” Yn asked in shock. ��I didn’t even beat you.”
“I didn’t mean to. I was waving it about and…”
“And they say F1 drivers are coordinated,” chuckled Max, walking over to his teammate to inspect the damage done to her skull. He winced jokingly, fingers prodding the dark bruise forming. “Oh, dear, you have a bump.”
“Your protective P instincts are kicking in.” She teased, jerking back as pain lanced down the side of her face. “You going to put a Disney princess sticker on it next?” 
Max laughed, the melodic sound breaking through the ringing in her ears. “No, no. I will save those for Lando after Charles runs him off the track.”
The three winners glanced down at the aforementioned Ferrari driver, although Lando quickly looked away. Fury blazed in his blue eyes at the dark mark on her forehead. 
Sighing deeply, Yn placed the bag of ice (long since melted into water) on the table in her driver’s room. Post-podium interviews were always draining but it seemed to drag more so today. Although that might have partly been due to the pounding headache and the dull ache behind her eyes. After the disaster on the podium, the journalists had focused less on their momentous success and more on the injury she had sustained at the hands of Lando Norris.
The internet had already turned their moment into a meme, laughing at the incident, but the journalists decided to take a different route, complaining that Lando had done it deliberately. Fielding those questions was always soul-destroying, especially when they liked to twist whatever you said. Three short knocks sounded at her door, and it clicked open before she could turn from the mirror. 
“Mon amour.” Charles’ head poked between the gap before wincing slightly at the look on her face. “Does it hurt? I can’t believe Lando hit you.”
“He’s like an excitable toddler.”
Charles pulled her into his arms, glancing down at his bruised girlfriend. “You look like an œuf.”
“Saying it in French doesn’t make it any less insulting, Charles.” 
“You are the most beautiful egg I have ever seen,” he grinned, pressing a kiss to the wound Lando had left. 
#2 Daniel Ricciardo 
Sweat ran down the back of Yn’s neck as she gripped the steering wheel harder, flying through turn six. She tapped the brake slightly as the back of a Ferrari came closer, slowing down. 
“What is he doing?”
“Leclerc seems to be having an issue.”
“No shit. He fucking slowed right down.”
“Overtake when you can.”
“Tell me how to do my job, why don’t you?”
Pushing the car forward, she inched past the Ferrari as they approached the next turn. Her teeth clenched tightly together as he faded from view, running right alongside her. She felt sweat run down her cheek as her heart pounded in her chest and tried to focus on her breathing. She could do this. Just a little more.
“Fantastic job,” her engineer praised. “P5 now.”
Glancing in the mirror, she startled at the sight of Charles skidding off the track and onto the gravel, coming to a stop just before the barrier. 
“Is he okay?”
“Gearbox malfunction. Leclerc is fine and out of the car. Car behind is Ricciardo, two seconds.” 
“Okay.”
Relieved that Charles was fine, Yn returned her attention back to the track, doing her best to keep the McLaren behind her. 
“Defend. He’s going to try and overtake.”
Turning the corner, Yn kept on the inside, yanking the wheel in order to achieve the tight turn. Despite pulling left, she felt the car veer off to the right, ignoring her command as she slammed her foot down on the brake. Her body snapped forward as the car came to a sudden stop, smacking into the foam barrier. The plastic coating with Pirelli splashed across it broke, landing atop her head. 
“You okay?”
“What the fuck was that?!” 
“Ricciardo made contact.”
“No shit. He fucking shunted me into the wall!” 
“Obviously we’re going to have to retire the car.”
The cameras honed in on the Red Bull racer as she pulled herself out of the car. The crowd sighed in relief, pleased that she was alright but recoiled as she turned, violently kicking part of the plastic barrier. “Fuck!”
Storming over to the McLaren garage, Yn called out for the other driver forced to DNF. Behind them, the race was continuing, only another ten laps left to determine who would find their way onto the podium. And Yn wasn’t one of them. 
“What the fuck was that! Do you know how to drive?”
“Me? You turned into me!” 
“Don’t give me that shit! I was ahead of you, I was doing my turn first! You fucking clipped my wheel because you didn’t leave enough space and you want to blame me.”
Flashes of light went off around them, capturing the furious racer as she yelled at the sheepish Australian. 
“I am sorry but coming in here to yell at me won’t put you back in the race.”
“No, it won’t because my car is fucked! Learn to fucking drive next time.”
“A pleasure talking to you as always, LN.” 
“Suck my dick!” She yelled back, ignoring the numerous journalists smirking to themselves over their next juicy headline.
Debriefed and dismissed for the evening, Yn dragged her weary body out of the Red Bull motorhome. Despite having been cleared by medical, she was covered in bruises and looking forward to a night off. 
“Fancy seeing you here.” Charles teased, taking his hand out of his pockets and holding it out for her. Lacing her fingers through his, Yn’s broke out in a smile when he pulled her closer. 
“You didn’t have to wait for me.”
“What sort of boyfriend would I be if I didn’t drive you back to the hotel after your accident.”
“But, my car-”
“Will be dropped off later. I’ve already sorted it, mon ange.”
“You take such good care of me.”
Charles bent down, lips tracing her ear. “It does not end here. What do you say we take a bath when we get back?”
Yn laughed, leaning into him as his breath tickled her neck. Before she could answer, the pair of them were out of the paddock and assaulted by the media. 
“Yn. Yn. How are things between you and Daniel after your argument today? Things looked to be quite heated.” 
“Daniel and I will be fine. We haven’t spoken since our argument but it’s very hard to remain mad at someone like Daniel.”
“Charles, do you feel the same way? After all, it was your girlfriend he crashed into.”
“Obviously there was a bit of anger at seeing someone you care about crash. Um, but Yn is a driver much like anyone else. These things happen. If she forgives him then that is all that matters.”
The two drivers excuses themselves, walking past the rest of the media without stopping. Charles’ arm wrapped around her waist, holding her close. A muscle in his jaw ticked and he was relieved when they entered the safety of his car. 
“You handled that very well.”
“Could you tell I was furious?”
“No. You were very diplomatic.”
“Just another name to add to my list of people to hit with my car.”
“Char, you can’t say things like that,” giggled Yn.
“Only to you.”
#3 Lewis Hamilton
Waving at the crowd, Yn made her way across the paddock, eager for the day ahead. Another Sunday, another race, another chance at the podium. Stopping every now and then to take pictures with fans, Yn chatted animatedly with her PR manager as they discussed her upcoming media obligations. Unlike her teammate, she was much more amiable towards media appearances but only enjoyed the ones that didn’t feel more like a conference. 
“Beep beep,” a British voice called out behind her, alerting the two women clad in Red Bull polos that he was approaching. “Good morning, lovely ladies.”
He pulled up alongside them, foot slipping off the brake. Instead of coming to a stop, he felt the scooter roll over a bump in the end. Jumping off the two-wheeled contraption, he winced as his on-track rival hopped around clutching her left foot. 
“I am so sorry. I didn’t realise your foot was right there.”
“Why can’t you walk like everyone else?” She grumbled, wincing at the throbbing sensation when she put her foot flat on the ground. 
“Because it’s slower?” He offered weakly, looping her arm around his shoulders and helping her hop the remaining feet towards the Red Bull garage. 
Interested in the laces of her shoes, Yn shuffled in her seat. The top half of her racing suit had been discarded, tied around her waist, but when she sat down the sleeves had created an uncomfortable mound. P4 had been a helpful finish for the battle for Constructors but she couldn't help the disappointment at her finish. Lando, noticing her movements, asked if she was still in pain. One of the journalists called her name, preventing her from answering. 
“We noticed you limping earlier when you got out of the car. Was that in relation to the videos of Lewis helping you into the Red Bull garage earlier?” 
Lewis shifted awkwardly in his seat, offering the young woman another apologetic smile. 
“Uh, yes. Unfortunately, earlier today, Lewis ran over my foot with his scooter. I have some lovely bruising to show for it.”
“Do you blame Lewis? Do you think that was what stopped you from achieving P1? Perhaps it was deliberate.”
“Both Lewis and Toto made their way down to the Red Bull garage to apologise personally. It absolutely wasn’t sabotage. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unfortunately, yes, my boot was tied looser than usual, and putting pressure on my foot was painful in terms of braking. However, the onus is on me in terms of my performance. I don’t feel like I gave it my best today, and Max is very fast,” she finished with a laugh, earning scattered laughter from the room.
A buzz sounded in her pocket and she discreetly slipped her phone from it, checking the notification. The little race car next to the name had her smiling. 
Charles: You. Me. Celebration later? I’ll find the greasiest food
Yn: I miss you. This conference sucks
Charles: No, you miss being in the podium conference. Don’t lie to me x
Yn: That too
#4 Max Verstappen
“And that, ladies and gentlemen, is another perfect 1-2 for Red Bull! I imagine it’s smiles all around in their garage.” 
The Dutch anthem was still ringing in her ears when the 2nd place trophy was placed in her hands. Grin plastered across her face, Yn raised her trophy high in the air, relishing in the roar of her team, watching down below. Once Charles’ trophy had been securely handed over, and the presenters had scurried off the stage to safety, Max lunged forward for the large champagne bottle. Shaking it profusely, he popped the cork and aimed at his teammate.
Not even having time to reach for her own bottle, Yn was waterboarded by the bubbly liquid. Spluttering violently, she clapped her hands over her face, trying to ward off the onslaught of champagne. It was up her nose, down her throat and, most painfully, burning her right eye. 
“Max, you bastard,” she hissed, stumbling towards the edge of the stage where her engineer was waiting with a damp towel. Pressing it tight against her eye, she grumbled to herself about the dangers of champagne. 
“Oh, bebe, not another injury.” Charles murmured, glancing at her bloodshot eye. Champagne rolled off the tip of his hat, flicking the tip of her nose. 
Max bounded over next, laughing in elation at his win. He apologised at the sight of her eye but it felt a tad insincere when he followed it with, “They should call you the driver’s champion of non-race related injuries.”
“More like the champion of idiotic work colleagues.” 
“Don’t be like that. You love me really.” Max pulled her in for a headlock, wet arms wrapping around her head. Yn stomped on his foot when another drop of champagne rolled into her stinging eye. 
Fiddling with the cord of her microphone, Yn’s high from achieving P2 faded with each passing moment. Winning a podium was euphoric until she remembered it entailed a ninety minutes press-conference afterwards. Ignoring how badly she wanted food, Yn leaned over, whispering to Max, who looked as equally bored as she.
Charles’ hand slipped from her thigh as she moved, and he shook his head with a smile when he caught her gossiping. Her teammate grinned at whatever she said before the pair of them heard her name being called. Snapping to attention, Yn pulled away from Max and sat upright in her chair.
“Apologies but would you mind repeating the question?” Yn asked sheepishly. 
“Following your recent accidents at the hands of your fellow racers, there’s rumours flying around that the male members of the Grid are opposed to your presence on the track. Care to comment?” 
Yn leant forward towards her mic. “I must admit I’m starting to believe these rumours,” she let out a small laugh, informing everyone she was joking. “No, no. In all seriousness, I do seem to be getting attacked an awful lot by my fellow racers this season - uh, most recently was being blinded by Max after the podium - but I don’t believe there is any animosity behind it. They’ve all been very apologetic. I’m just unfortunate.” 
“Mon amour maladroite,” whispered Charles but the microphone picked it up regardless. 
Fake frowning at him, she reiterated for the crowd. “There’s a lot of love between me and the rest of the drivers so these are all just inCHIdents.” 
Charles looked at her in shock, offended by her mockery. “Hey!” He whined. “I’m the only person not trying to sabotage you.”
Yn pressed an apologetic kiss to his cheek and the cameras lapped up the rare glimpse of affection between the two during a race weekend. 
Charles' Revenge
A race in Monaco meant that the majority of drivers were able to spend the week beforehand at home. Padding across the living room barefoot, Yn made her way towards the kitchen. Wrapping her arms around Charles’ waist, she pressed a kiss between his shoulder blades. He turned in her arms, beaming down at her in his oversized hoodie. After her racing suit, this look was his favourite. 
“Thank you for helping me with this, handsome.”
“Help you? It was my idea, mon coeur. Especially because you would not let me run them off the track.” 
“Because that is…” she prompted.
“Dangerous,” he finished with a pout. 
The doorbell alerted them to the arrival of their first dinner guest, and she smirked to herself before flitting over to the door. Max stood there nervously, a bouquet of flowers in hand. She stepped aside to let him in, and thanked him when he handed the large flower bunch to her. 
“To apologise for blinding you, and to thank you for dinner.” 
“That’s very sweet of you, Max,” she inhaled the sweet fragrance of the flowers, almost feeling bad for deceiving him. He probably deserved this the least but her boyfriend needed a way to release his anger. “I’m going to put them in some water. Charles is in the main room with some sport thingy on the television. Gin and tonic?” 
“Just one.” He nodded, placing his discarded shoes on the rack before sloping off in search of the brunette driver. 
Hands clasped, Charles and Yn placed dishes of pasta in front of Lando, Daniel, Lewis and Max, smiling when they thanked them. Yn was well-known for her cooking throughout the paddock, often cooking sweet treats in the week and bringing them in for the Grid to share. Having a birthday on a racing weekend was a much coveted holiday because it meant a homemade cake from the Red Bull racer.
Watching as each of them took a big mouthful, she watched them all grimace in disgust when they swallowed. Taking a sip of wine before speaking, she informed them of the true reason behind their meal. “I lied to you. I didn’t cook dinner for you this evening.”
The four of them turned to face the devious Ferrari driver looking innocently at them, horror plastered across their faces. “Charles did.”
Friday - Practice 
“Four F1 drivers are reportedly suffering from food poisoning. Perhaps a racing dinner gone wrong? They’re still set to race on Sunday, just two days from now, but images of them have emerged from today’s free practice, and the four look particularly under the weather.”
Seated opposite her Team Principal, Yn fiddled with her fingers as Christian berated her. Shame crept up the back of her neck and for the fifth time that day, she wished Charles was with her. Hands perched on his hips, Christian stared down at her, waiting for an explanation. 
“I didn’t think they’d be ill for this long?” She defended weakly. “I just thought they’d suffer through a gross meal and that would be the end of it. I bought pizza afterwards!”
“You let them eat Charles’ food! What did you think would happen? The boy can’t cook.” 
“Oops…?”
Christian sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “You could’ve at least left Max out of it.”
“He blinded me!”
“And I’d do it again!” Max groaned, clutching his stomach. Sweat beaded his forehead despite the cool compress resting atop it.
“The alternative was Charles pushing you off the track,” she shot back.
“He’d have to catch me first,” argued Max. 
The two drivers broke out into good-natured bickering, voices raising as they got more heated. Sighing yet again, the Red Bull principal sank into his chair and muttered to himself, “I’m working with children.”

A/N: I'm not sure what this is (laugh) I apologise but writing fics isn't my strong suit. I should probably stick to smau's lol
On that note, requests for F1 smau's are open. You can see who I write for on my masterlist :)

"Brake! Brake! Brake!" : ̗̀➛ Charles LeClerc
summary: putting you in the simulator was supposed to be a bit of fun for charles, but not even he could prepare himself for the terror of being spectator to this
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“My love, you need two hands on the wheel,” Charles told you, standing just beside you as you tried your best to figure out what all the buttons meant, “just drive, I’ll help you with all of those and tell you when you need them.”
“Which one is the brake? I’m gonna crash!” You cried out, entering the first corner on the simulator, your heart was racing, feet tapping around as you tried to find what you were looking for.
“The wall!” Charles yelled, hiding behind his hands as he watched your car veer towards the side as you lost control, unable to concentrate too much.
The sudden feeling of a hand wrapping around your ankle showed you where the brake was as Charles moved your foot onto it. Your mind was racing as you tried to do a million and one things. Behind you, Charles tried his best to help you, but you were far too out of your depth to listen.
It was almost funny for him as he watched you, taking for granted how hard his job was.
“I give up with this, it’s stupid,” you huffed as you almost went into the gravel again, desperately trying to save your car. “I’m not built for all of this driving, can’t I quit?”
“Come on, you’re still only learning,” Charles reminded you, kneeling down so he was by your side. His smile was warm, as funny as he found it watching you, he also knew just how much you wanted to learn more about what he does, giving it a go for yourself.
You carried on battling for a few more moments, luck far from on your side, until a pair of hands hovered over yours against the steering wheel.
“We’ve got this, we’re a team,” Charles whispered as he felt you turn to face him, leaning across and helping you steer the vehicle.
As soon as Charles took a hold the whole thing felt easier, whilst he focused on navigating, you were able to accelerate and brake at just the right moment.
Somehow a few moments later you found yourself crossing the line, surprising yourself that you hadn’t forced your car into the pits to retire.
“That was amazing for a first attempt,” Charles chimed, trying his best to reassure you, “you’ll be a natural soon enough,” he added, kissing the side of your head.
With a bit of persuasion, you decided to give another track a go, reluctantly agreeing when Charles suggested giving Monaco a try. It was your home after all, surely you could remember the roads, but behind the wheel of the simulator, you confidently forgot everything.
“This time just try and worry about one thing at a time, don’t stress too much,” Charles instructed, kneeling back where he was before by your side.
You nodded as you made yourself comfortable, watching for the lights to go out to signal for you to start your race. As soon as they did you slammed your foot down, taking yourself by surprise with how quickly the car shot forwards.
A squeal came from you, a snigger coming from Charles, knowing that you were far from prepared. Your surprise left you struggling for control once again, almost forgetting that the entire track wasn’t straight.
“Brake! Brake! Brake!” A voice cried out from beside you.
Just in time your foot hit the brake, turning the car before you flew off the track. Like before, you barely made it around the track in one piece, glancing at your suffering boyfriend as soon as the race finished.
“You’re amazing at a lot of things, but I don’t think racing is one of them,” Charles joked, reaching across and taking a hold of your hand as he took it off of the steering wheel. Your head immediately nodded in agreement with Charles, it was fun to support him, but you were much better off doing that in the comfort of the paddock.
Charles loved you for trying, he loved how hard you worked to enjoy the things he loved, but even he couldn’t lie and say you were a good driver.
“I’ll leave the grand prix to you,” you laughed, stepping out of the simulator, “I think my strengths lie elsewhere.”
“I can think of a few strengths,” Charles whispered, wrapping his arms around your waist tightly.
Your eyes rolled at the knowing expression that was on his face, but you allowed your arms to wrap around his neck anyway.
Charles closed the distance between you both, pressing a kiss against your lips. “Why do you always assume the worst of me?” Charles innocently asked, chuckling to himself as you continued to stare at him, knowing Charles all too well, knowing exactly what he was hinting at too.
“You’re impossible sometimes, you know?”

Get Your Shit Together - Extra; a section of a DTS Episode.
Masterlist | Part 1
genre: 2024 Season AU
pairing: there will be romance but I haven't finalised who yet. platonic! oc x literally the whole grid.
warnings: lots swearing, major car accident, mentions of broken bones, blood and hospitals. A lot of shit happens.
context: Sadie, a 20 year old university student from Melbourne, decided to take a gap year and volunteer at 2 Formula One races in different countries.
Sadie's Faceclaim: Maia Mitchell (but you can visualise her however you want :) )
comments: READ CHAPTER FOUR BEFORE READING THIS. This is an extra and is not actually thaaaat vital to the story. I just know if this happened irl, DTS would 100% make an entire episode on it. This is gonna be so strange to write because DTS is a visual format but imma try for the cool perspective. You’re gonna need a good imagination.

LANDO NORRIS: It’s one of my favourite tracks, I love the support we get there.
BUXTON: Our hearts were in our mouths, in 2024. The title fight was ramping up!
CHARLES LECLERC: It was close.
CARLOS SAINZ: We were fighting, but it was horrific race.
BUXTON: It ended in shambles.
OSCAR PIASTRI: I mean, I was out in lap, 5 I think, it might’ve been 6.
BUXTON: No one expected five DNF’s.
LEWIS HAMILTON: I don’t know how it happened.
BUXTON: Let alone Lando’s accident.
NORRIS: I don’t remember much.
BUXTON: or the Mystery Medic.
*dramatic pause*
BUXTON: It was incredible, in a morbid way.
NORRIS: I was panicking
*onboard footage of moments after the crash, with radio subtitles*
NORRIS *onboard radio*: MY ANKLE, **** MY FOOT!
BUXTON: First, they catch Lando as he falls from the halo. He is in pain, and at one point you can hear him scream.
*onboard footage of the Mystery Medic catching Lando as he falls from the halo*
NORRIS: I knew it was my ankle or my foot. I’d never been in so much pain.
BUXTON: The medic starts to, essentially drag, Lando towards a safe section of the barrier. We could see that it was bad. We could see how much was relying on them and leaning on them, considering that he was taller than the medic.
PIASTRI: We could see that he wasn’t even letting it touch the ground.
NORRIS: “Keep it off the ground,” they told me. They didn’t have to, I was in too much pain anyway.
BUXTON: Then Sergio Perez approaches the accident.
TOTO WOLFF: There was debris everywhere, McLaren and Mercedes.
SERGIO PEREZ: I still do not know how I did not see it.
NORRIS: I didn’t know until I was on a stretcher.
BUXTON: You can see, if you watch the replay you can see, the moment the Mystery Medic hears Checo’s car.
*footage of the Mystery Medic turning their head towards the track*
BUXTON: Put the moment into slow motion, and you can see them make the choice.
*footage of the Mystery Medic putting both hands on Lando’s waist and switching to his right side*
BUXTON: To put yourself between a driver and a Formula One car? That’s either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid.
HAMILTON: Brave.
WOLFF: Stupid.
BUXTON: Either way, I don’t think Drive to Survive can show what happened.
*footage of Perez’s Red Bull striking black and papaya debris*
BUXTON: The medic barely stumbled.
NORRIS: If I hadn’t have seen it afterwards, I wouldn’t have known. I don’t remember it happening.
BUXTON: It was horrifying! They were walking, and almost carrying Lando, with a piece of debris in their thigh.
NORRIS: I’ve watched the replay. It was headed straight for me.
BUXTON: Watching it live was… it was awful! But you couldn’t look away.
*footage of everyone in the McLaren garage watching screens with various expressions of terror*
BUXTON: You had to know if they were going to make it.
NORRIS: They saved my life. Racing is my life, and if that debris had hit my leg? We don’t know what damage it could have done.
BUXTON: But there’s a reason we call them the Mystery Medic, and it may be a feat just as incredible. They did the impossible.
*seperate shots of Sir Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen placed side by side*
BUXTON: Lewis and Max worked together. They put their rivalry aside and worked together to keep the Mystery Medic a secret and we have no idea why.
MAX VERSTAPPEN and HAMILTON *in unison*: I’m not going to comment on that.
BUXTON: We don’t know their name. We don’t know who they are, where they’re from, or how they’re doing now.
*another dramatic pause*
BUXTON: It’s like they never existed.

Lestappen headcanon ✨
(For day1 of 16 days of Lestappen)
Tumblr media
Track terror Charles Leclerc, always up to no good. ⬆️
Tumblr media
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..

Chapter 4: Drunken whispers and flashing lights
The desert night shimmered under the Yas Marina floodlights, a glittering oasis in the arid landscape. Abu Dhabi, the final act of the F1 drama, and Y/N and Charles were locked in a fierce tango for second place.
Their cars were two blurs of silver and red, dancing cheek-to-cheek on the razor's edge of the track. They carved identical lines, their engines in a guttural duet, refusing to yield an inch. The tension crackled through the air, thicker than the desert sand.
Then, in a heartbeat, the dance became a discordant crash. Charles, desperate for the podium, made a sudden lunge for the inside line. Y/N, caught off guard, spun out, her car pirouetting into the gravel trap like a wounded ballerina.
She nursed the damaged Red Bull back onto the track, the fire of humiliation burning in her eyes. The race, once neck-and-neck, became a one-woman show. Y/N unleashed a fury unseen before, tearing through the field like a vengeful storm. She carved through lap times, overtaking rivals with ruthless precision. By the time she crossed the finish line, Charles was a distant third, the sting of defeat etched on his face.
The after-party was a cacophony of champagne corks and forced smiles. Y/N, despite her podium finish, remained aloof, her eyes never landing on Charles. He, in turn, mirrored her coldness, his gaze perpetually averted. The tension between them was a storm cloud hanging over the celebration, casting a shadow on everyone's enjoyment.
Later, as the crowd thinned and the music morphed into a quiet hum, Y/N found herself stumbling down the hotel hallway, the champagne leaving a dull ache in her head. Charles, emerging from his own solitude, caught sight of her and felt a pang of guilt pierce his carefully constructed mask.
He reached out, but Y/N, before he could touch her, stumbled, her voice slurred with inebriation. "Why do you hate me so much, Leclerc?" she mumbled, her words thick with unshed tears. "What have u iever done to you? I just wanted to prove... prove that I deserve...my spot...here."
Charles froze. In that moment, the carefully constructed walls around his heart crumbled. He looked at Y/N, her vulnerable words hanging in the air, and he knew he had to confess.
"It's not hate, Y/N," he rasped, his voice choked with emotion. "It's...terror. You see, you remind me of someone...someone I..."
He stopped, the memory a raw wound in his soul. But he saw the flicker of understanding in Y/N's eyes, the shared pain of loss that transcended rivalry. He continued, his voice a low thrum.
"You remind me of what I could have lost...of what I almost did lose. And seeing you race, so fearless, so brilliant...it terrifies me. Because if anything happened to you...I wouldn't be able to live"
He couldn't finish the sentence. The thought was too unbearable. But Y/N, her eyes shimmering with tears, reached out and touched his cheek, a silent reassurance.
"Charlie, you don't like me but you're afraid to lose me" she whispered, her voice barely audible. "But I... spend too much time thinking about...."
Before she could finish, her head dipped forward, sleep claiming her. Charles caught her, holding her close, the weight of her vulnerability a burden he wouldn't shirk.
He looked down at her sleeping face, a silent promise forming on his lips. "Just rest, Y/N," he murmured, his voice thick with a mixture of regret and newfound resolve. "Not like you'll remember this when you're sober."
But Charles knew, deep down, that this night, this unexpected vulnerability, would be a turning point. The game had changed, the rivalry transformed. And as he held Y/N close, beneath the glittering Dubai sky, he couldn't help but wonder if their next dance would be a tango of a different kind.

F1 70th Anniversary 2020
-Watched this race almost a month ago but forgot to post this until now
-The history of this race showing so many Williams winners, like where did all that glory go ?
-Nico p3?!???!????!
-“Kimi Raikkonen slowest qualifier again” That just sounds wrong
-“Looking for a podium in formula 1, could it happen today?” They say things like this and I start feeling hopeful before remembering the horrible fact I learnt about him never achieving a podium (I’m just going to sit here and pray he finishes the race)
-Also where is Checo?
-The inner conflict I have to deal with because Max went up a place but that meant Nico went down a place
-The Mercedes took off so fast, the camera following them showed none of the other cars behind for like ten seconds
-“Sebastian Vettel racing former teammate Kimi Raikkonen at the moment” Whaaat, but Kimi’s p20?!
-“Why does he keep spinning?” Better question, what did Ferrari do to his car?
-So cool watching Charles and Carlos fighting it out
-“Those two will be teammates of course next year”
-Alex pitting lap 7? Are new tires worth falling to p20?
-2020! The year of radio subtitles!!
-“Mate this is the only chance of being close to the Mercedes, I’m not just sitting here like a grandma” Iconic!!
-“Have I mentioned this before? Thank goodness for Max Verstappen” And then a year later, they’ll switch up
-McLaren actually having a good pit stop strategy?
-Just realized that Ocon took Nico’s seat at Renault so that Nico could take the “Racing Point” seat because Checo is…where?
-Incoming Lewis vs Charles…and, that was fairly easy for Lewis
-The Albon vs Gasly is giving Perez vs Lawson (just with less drama)
-What is with Red Bull making things tense between their drivers?
-Charles on Lando!!
-Tire blisters must be such nightmares
-Need Nico to overtake Carlos here
-“Verstappen is the real threat here if he’s one-stopping”
-“My tires feel good mate. It’s all good” Fingers crossed they stay that way
-Oh nvm, Nico didn’t need to go past Carlos, he hadn’t pit yet
-“If you’re Nico Hulkenburg, you’re going to be thinking, if Mercedes is starting to go out like this, I might be on to a first ever podium” Stop 😭
-“Red Bull have not had a win here in Silverstone since 2012: Mark “Not Bad for a No.2 Drive“ Webber
-Max finally pitting lap 27
-Aaah who cares if the pit stop was slow and cost him the chance to get back out in the lead?! That overtake on Valterri was so smooth!!
-“He must have less pressure in the tires or something” lol
-Just saw my first, Kevin being a terror on track. “That’s a bit bumper cars there”. That was hilarious
-“I’ll hang in there, but you know that you messed up” What is going on with Seb and Ferrari
-“Forget the tire management. As fast as you can, within the limits of the tire obviously” “So basically we’re just gonna fully send it” Haha, he sounds so giddy
-“Someone’s had a problem, it’s the-“ Thought it was Nico and almost died
-Max and Valterri pitting at the same time
-How the hell did Charles make it to p4? Oh never-mind he still has to come in
-“Do they [Lewis and Mercedes] think they can leave him out for the rest of the race?” That would be such a gamble
-Alex doing so many overtakes this race
-Charles still not pitting and the commentators speculating his chances of the podium- he really is him
-With Lewis pitting and if Charles really is going to the end, he actually really might make it to the podium
-“I said Leclerc would be easy meat, but Lewis is vegan of course- it’ll be an easy overtake for him” That’s- *smh*
-Nico pitting?? Come on?! Whyy? That’s lost him two places
-“Free to race. Just give each other space” Oooooh
-Max getting fired up as soon as he hears that Lewis is on fresher tires. He just knew who his real competition was from the beginning.
-“GP, did you hydrate during the race?” Max you menace!
-“Charles Leclerc, he managed the one stop strategy and once again outperformed that car” Let’s go baby!!!
-“There was nothing second best about Max Verstappen today!”
-They all keep talking about sanitizing and bubbles; it didn’t hit me until a second ago that Covid happened in 2020. How have four years passed since then??
-“And this guy, is the star of the future” He really is
-Ooh he’s second in the championship, how cool
-Lewis and Max bumping elbows. I truly forgot about the idiosyncrasies that Covid brought
-What a time

Ranking of Drivers Max Would Least Like to Punt Off-Track:
Oscar Piastri; the boy went rampant in the media saying the most important thing for him was apologizing to Oscar, and that he’s the “last driver” he’d want to collide with, so… our only confirmed placement 👍
Charles Leclerc; we have visual evidence of Max apologizing for a collision from the lasvegas23 first lap, so fair to say he’s definitely up high in this list
Nico Hulkenberg; might seem surprising, but considering how often they’re flying together, the tow in imola24, the chitchats, I’m pretty sure they’re great friends and that Max would hate to clash with him
Daniel Ricciardo; great friends, Max has always been very supportive of Daniel :)
Checo Perez; very supportive and also, for the team
Yuki Tsunoda; Max loves a little menace
Lando Norris; was gonna put him higher for the “our friendship is the most important” after austria24, but then mexico24 happened so… difficult to say where exactly he stands
Fernando Alonso; track terror associate
Pierre Gasly (difficult to rank the middle of the pack, so the next few are very arbitrary)
Franco Colapinto
Alex Albon
Valtteri Bottas
Liam Lawson
Zhou Guanyu
Jack Doohan
Logan Sargeant
Oliver Bearman
Kevin Magnussen
Esteban Ocon; to be fair he’s jumped a good amount of drivers recently with the brazil24 (gotta specify 24 here) race
Lewis Hamilton; probably more of a Pavlovian response than actual desire to punt, they respect each other but their years of fighting have left scars behind
Carlos Sainz; don’t think they fuck with each other much, mostly based on vibes for this one lol
Lance Stroll; kinda feel bad for the guy, but not many drivers seem to vibe with him :(
George Russell; his newly promoted arch nemesis, their diva showdown has left the paddock in shambles and their shared hatred promises chaos through every warm-up lap

Norris DNF
Lando entering the track on foot
Stroll DNF
Kevin Magnussen just deciding not to do the chicane
He then drove himself and Hamilton off the road
Kevin "four elbow" Magnussen
Daniel Riccardo dragging that car kicking and screaming into fourth and defending it with his life
Max bitching about his lack of grip as he fucks off only slightly into the distance
Yuki slipping on through as lewis and kevin terrorize each other
Hamilton coming back and finishing in the points
Kevin collects penalties for fun while Max collects trophies
Whatever the Daniel's radio was after
AND AFTER ALL THAT HAMILTON DIDN'T EVEN FINISH 8TH BECAUSE OF A 20 SECOND PENALTY

So make a superteam? That's worse.
Absolutely we make a superteam. Max and Charles assume their final form of Ultimate Track Terrorism in a Ferrari that makes the Adrian Newey Red Bull cars look like an Alpine. Their cars are jet engines, and Max and Charles are finally in equal machinery since the first time since karting, this is true lights out and away we go. I’m talking trading wins ever race, Max pulling a move he knows will have Charles driving into his front wing, akin to pulling your crush’s pigtails on the playground. Meanwhile, they’ve lapped everyone else five times. They are drivers closer to gods than men, driving for a team that is closer to a church than a company, but they have also regressed to being fourteen again, pulling off physics-defying feats of racing just to get under each other’s skins. They are an Eldritch Horror to everyone else in the paddock, a nightmare the other drivers (especially whoever poor soul ends up in P3 that week) can never seem to escape from. They are The Superteam. They are Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen, Scuderia Ferrari drivers.
(I assume this is about my Max to Ferrari agenda).

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.

I'm nosy but who is your bias in F1? idk what to call it, I only know kpop lingo 💀
we should all start using kpop terminology for f1 lol. ok im not sure how familiar you are with so idk how much info to include about each of them and im trying very hard not to list like half of the drivers because there’s only 20 at a time (not including reserve drivers) and they’re all so compelling and interesting in their own ways but for the current 2024 lineup i’d say my bias is charles leclerc from ferrari!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
charles is from monaco and currently 3rd in the championship and he definitely used to be more of a little racing gremlin, he’s matured over the years and his driving reflects that. i know he still has it in him though he isn’t called ‘il predestinato’ for nothing! and with all the changes in staffing happening in the ferrari garage and the car upgrades coming this race weekend i have high hopes for charles and the team! italian men go absolutely wild for him and the catholic church has all but canonized him as a saint. the motivation behind his loyalty to ferrari is a long story but essentially tragic backstory = sense of duty to the team and the people he loves.
-
ok now for my other two who you could call bias wreckers if we’re sticking to kpop terms, my two retirees nico rosberg and sebastian vettel.
Tumblr media
these two cannot be discussed without mentioning the other as they are part of the unholy german trinity along with the goat of all time michael schumacher. sebastian was michael’s protégé since childhood meanwhile nico was michael’s teammate but the protégé of michael's rival, mika hakkinen (who in turn was his father’s protégé.) the real life succession of it all. the dynamics are sooo so juicy.
-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
oh nico my nico. 2000s pretty boy of f1. son of world champion keke rosberg, agonizing need to prove he’s not just a nepo baby, not just a second fiddle to his world champion teammates, that he's a talented driver in his own right. proved himself by winning the 2016 championship and immediately quit. icon. he’s living his best housewife life now but he’s super knowledgeable about the sport and has the best takes on the rare occasions he decides to commentate.
-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
seb. most successful rebranding of all time do NOT let the nerdy outdoorsy eco activist image fool you this man was a speed demon back in the day he didn’t become a 4x world champ by wearing his rainbow shirts and beekeeping on his days off okay he terrorized everyone on track for years. got a penalty just 6 seconds into his career during his first ever f1 race for speeding in the pit lane before the race even started. i love him dearly.
-
some honorable mentions go to mercedes drivers lewis hamilton and george russell and mclaren driver oscar piastri!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i love winners who lose. lewis is a british 7x world champion who hasn’t won a race since 2021. not his fault the mercedes car currently sucks but like it sucks so bad he’s leaving the team he’s been so loyal to for over a decade and moving to ferrari in 2025 and will be on the team with charles! he’s just the loveliest human being really truly just such a good guy. fashionista!!! and remember nico? yeah so does lewis even when he pretended to forget him that one time he was listing past teammates. neither have ever recovered from their codependent homoerotic friendship breakup. drivers, they’re just like us.
-
next we have george the baddest bitch around
Tumblr media Tumblr media
also british. he IS the moment. girlbossed his way into formula racing and team mercedes by showing up alone to the team principal’s office at age 15 armed with nothing but a suit and a word document file. was appointed director of the driver’s union in only his third year of f1. he makes bold racing decisions and while it doesn’t always work out in his favor he has the mentality that you need to take risks to get results. i feel like his eyes are on the future though and i see him being a higher up in the company one day.
-
and finally oscar the aussie newbie!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
standing man emoji 🧍 has so much natural talent and won a sprint race in his first season last year! one of the most level headed drivers right now, he can stay so calm and collected during high adrenaline moments and i think that’s part of what makes him so successful. he can come across as a little uninterested and unenthusiastic but he’s a cool guy and very loved you just have to understand his vibe first. personally i think either he or charles will be the next new championship winners. driving for mclaren and only got half the car upgrades his teammate got last race weekend but the new car is looking GOOD and he should be getting the rest of the upgrades for this next race!

daniel ricciardo ooh my money's on lily!
max verstappen against who?

pierre gasly i will hold him down as yuki bites his ankles
charles leclerc rhea, are you okay?
rhea reynolds yeah, i need a social media cleanse. you feel me? no social media for the rest of the year.
esteban ocon but how will **** fall more in love with you?
lance stroll i am once again begging you to shut up! max verstappen WAIT! I FIGURED IT OUT! IS IT WHO I THINK IT IS? lance stroll SHUT UP MAX EMILIAN!
rhea reynolds anyways, i don't really want to see n*rris posting his girlfriend and i don't want people tagging me in their posts and shit like that ,so no social media for me.
lily muni he that's a good idea. i will still fight him for you.
rhea reynolds save it for the ep release
lance stroll are you reading his ass to filth?
rhea reynolds no, i'm just trying to hype you guys up. most of it was written when we were still together.
esteban ocon WE WILL STILL STREAM IT! max verstappen he doesn't need to know that. rhea reynolds no, he knows. his time still hasn't come. he still has time to breathe freely.

can i set you up on a blind date?
it's been less than a year since i broke up with lando. i'm not ready to date
but he's a sweetheart! and i know you'll like him.
he's had a crush on you for ages.
no lily
please! i'll never ask for anything from you ever again. i pinky promise
what if he's a creep?
this is not me saying yes by the way!
when have i ever been wrong?
"go on a date with lando rhea. what's the worst that could happen?"
okay, other than that, when have i ever been wrong?
can i know who it is?
no! that's the whole point of a blind date! also, if it helps, max likes him. and i'm sure your other bestie, charles, will like him.
hell, i'm 99.9% sure blake will like him. that's how confident i am.
one date and if it goes horribly wrong i don't want to hear another word from you about this. ever again.
yes! i'll take it! you won't regret this rhea! i promise
i better not or i'll cut off your carrot privileges
he is my godson you can't tear us apart!

max verstappen what happened to staying off of instagram?
rhea reynolds i have so many f1 gossip pages blocked and lando fan pages. max verstappen you're still a fucking liar. rhea reynolds it's my private max! let me fucking live!
pierre gasly rhea reynolds! when did you go on a date and with who?
charles leclerc why were we not informed of this?
alex albon did you sleep with him? your story implies you did.
rhea reynolds no alex, i did not sleep with him.
max verstappen she probably kissed him.
rhea reynolds i meant i don't regret going on the date. no kissing involved.
esteban ocon **** is currently crying in his hotel room
lance stroll you never know when to shut up.
charles leclerc WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
max verstappen haha! i know something you don't! charles leclerc you're literally my biggest fan maximilian. max verstappen THAT'S NOT MY NAME!
Tumblr media
soo?? how'd it go? was he a proper gentleman like my source told me he would be?
who's your source and you were right. he's a sweetheart.
why couldn't i have fallen in love with him instead of lando?
oh honey, it wasn't meant to be then
and i will never tell you who my source is!
fine but do you think i talk too much? like could that scare him off?
rhea, honey, this boy has had a crush on you since last year when you first stepped onto the paddock.
trust me, you're not going to scare him off.
i don't like him.
sure you don't.
i don't.
rhea, you would've complained about him by now if you didn't at least feel something towards him.
i think he's cute. that's it.
i don't have time to date. i start filming for mean girls in march.
honey, i hate to be the one to remind you of what haas did to him but he doesn't have a seat for next year. he's mercedes' reserve driver.
lily stop encouraging this! i don't have time to date.
not everyone is norris give this boy a chance.
i have shows in december
if he shows up to one show will you give him a chance?
i know he'd be good for you. he's a schumacher!
maybe but i don't have time to date right now.
BULLSHIT RHEA AND YOU KNOW IT!

¡leclerc-s speaks! the quality of that last tweet thread sucks and i tried fixing it but no luck. so apologies for the horrible quality of that. as for why i keep posting flashback parts well that's so we can know how we got to where we did in part 1.
¡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 for me. enjoy!
