more than half the zak brown hate club consists of Daniel fans because they did their poor pookie so wrong :((

@oscarpiastriwdc and anon ur both so entirely right but ro literally ur so smart for pointing out that they poisoned the discourse. like i do just feel that yes anon its mostly daniel fans but bc the daniel fans rioted so bad (and smth abt indycar or whatever the fuck happening at the same time) that now the Fandom Culture around zak sees him as a selfish slimy businessman guy

i do just think aside from The Event its bc hes kind of silly and heavily american but like he genuinely wholeheartedly LOVES mclaren and loves his team and his drivers (to the extent of bruising ribs lmao) and not only that but he also has his head on straight about most paddock issues - very much a stand-up guy in terms of always speaking out on stuff he feels is unfair or unsportsmanlike or plain immoral. AND in terms of his team leadership (which would b in collaboration w andrea also) u can tell his pr-heavy promotion of mind and mental health is NOT just all talk, bc i stalk the mclaren linkedin and ik for a fact theyre in the process of modifying the entire structure of the trackside team to allow for more rotation and hence better worklife balance. AND they recently hired a team psychologist that travels trackside. just leave my guy alone pls....

new to the fun? you can find a carcar primer here, written by @blueballsracing 🧡❤

enjoy!

nsfw: reckless attention by @janinaduszejko | E | 4.2k Carlos and Oscar have a casual hookup arrangement. Both have very different ideas about how significant it is. I really like unreliable POV in fic like this. Oscar thinks he's having casual, convenient hookups with Carlos, and is determined not to examine his feelings too closely. Carlos, meanwhile, is having a crisis over it, experiencing wants and urges he has no clue how to even begin handling. Being into a guy is confusing enough, but apparently to be submissive as well? No wonder he can't do it sober.

A quick-fire flash of something mawkish blitzes up Oscar’s spine and he sets his jaw against it. He keeps Carlos’s head in place and sets a new rhythm, fucking up in quick, even strokes. Carlos groans and Oscar can feel it around the head of his cock, the taut vibration of it, the hot clench of Carlos’s throat. Oscar’s skin feels like it’s got a current running through it, prickling sharp. His brain feels fuzzy, thoughts unable to get purchase and linger.

nsfw: the better half of a good time by @antimonyandthyme | E | 4.4k Canon divergence, future fic, sex work. Oscar, a few years into his Formula 1 career now, is locked in a bitter WDC fight with Lando. Their relationship has completely soured. He cruises the streets one night and finds a sex worker. The man, a few years older than Oscar, is vaguely familiar. Fics which explore how tenuous and elusive motorsports careers can be, how a few small changes of circumstance can result in a career failing to launch at all, are fascinating to me, and this one is no exception. The author paints a picture of a world just ever so slightly skewed from our own, one where a few unlucky moments resulted in a very different life path for Carlos.

'He’s not angry, not really. His thoughts can’t help but stray to Lando. Those last few times were mean. And being mean takes effort, more effort than Oscar sees fit to expend. Then the last few times had dried up to nothing, and Oscar had taken to searching for other ways he could keep winning outside the track, because nothing on track actually felt like winning anymore.'

nsfw: Open mouth, on my knees (for you)  by @lovelylotusf1 | E | 4.9k Oscar has a bad gag reflex and asks Carlos to help him train it away so he’d be good for Lando. What ensues is desire and power dynamics and taking what you need from the other person. I really enjoyed how the author depicted Oscar’s internal thought process and the journey of hatred to desire. The way Lando’s existence was used as almost a pawn was also written really well!

nsfw: hatred cradles you by @foggieststars | E | 6.8k Carlos comes to Oscar’s hotel room in search of Lando. What ensues is bickering, rising tension, and passionate hate sex. I love the palpable tension woven throughout this fic, Oscar and Carlos’ characterisations are so fun and fit so well together. The dialogue and the bickering is fun and fast paced and makes you want to read more! Amazing work by this author as always.

when both our cars collide by @oscarpiastriwdc | M | 8.4k Carlos finds himself stuck in a time loop, experiencing the same qualifying crash with Oscar over and over. I love time loop fic. There is something about being given the chance to fix something or change something, being able to examine a situation over and over in granular detail, that works especially well in F1 RPF where milliseconds can make a difference. As per the best Groundhog Day fics, it's not so much about what Carlos does as how he feels, and he finds himself drawing ever closer to Oscar as the loops stack. Oh, and there's a really cute dog.

'“Is that your dog?” Caligula wiggles, instinctually sensing the conversation has shifted to her. “Yes.” “I never pictured you with a tiny dog.” Carlos snorts. “What, you thought I would have a big, mean dog?” “More like a cat who scratches your eyes out.” “She’ll do that, too.” “What’s her name?” “Caligula.” Oscar makes a strange noise, a cross between a laugh and a sneeze. “Caligula? That’s an… odd name. Can I?” Oscar extends a hand, questioning. Carlos nods, and Oscar lets Caligula sniff his fingers. She catches a taste of something appetizing and nibbles at his fingers. “Sorry–” “No, she’s sweet.” The ‘unlike you’ remains unspoken'

nsfw: moth to a flame by @blueballsracing | E | 15.5k Enemies to lovers carcar with some hate sex and plot (aka Carlos moves to Red Bull next season). This was really fun to write and I loved going into Carlos' mind and writing their dynamics!

'For a split second, his thoughts fill up with wonders about the future, but he’s stuck in the past. Blue, yellow, orange, and red line his vision–and suddenly, a montage of memories obstruct his vision. He’s 20 when he drives at the Australian Grand Prix for the first time he debuts with Toro Rosso. He’s 20 when he’s next to 17-year-old Max playing word tennis in a car. He’s 21 when he crashes in qualifying at COTA, but makes up 10 positions on the first lap and finishes in the points. He’s 21 when he out-qualifies Max for a whole season, 10-9. It’s the little wins that matter–for, life is not a sprint, but a marathon. He’s 22 when Toro Rosso is a mess in the 2017 season, but he comes out on top as the superior driver of the 4 that “half” season. He leaves to save face, to get away from the screaming toxicity that is Jos Verstappen. He’s 23 when he drives for Renault for the first time and scores points. He’s 24 when he’s replaced by another Red Bull reject driver, Daniel, when he leaves Renault for McLaren. Except–he thinks otherwise. Red Bull didn’t reject both him and Daniel. Quite the opposite. The ages muddle together, but the story stays the same. He crashes and scores points and–he leaves and leaves and leaves. He gets his first podium and thanks the Brazilian audience, he leaves, he replaces a world champion, he gets his first and second and third win, is called slurs and hate names every single time for it, he leaves, he leaves, he leaves.'

nsfw: Grill the Grid by @mercurial-vroom | E | 23.2k (wip) Oscar, a very socially anxious engineering student, agrees to join Lando's pub quiz team. His rival on the team turns out to be Carlos. This fic is light and funny while at the same time examining what it can be like to be socially awkward and anxious. Seeing Oscar settle into the group dynamic is great, and the interplay among all the characters creates some great sparks.

Then, Carlos picked up the glass and took a long pull, his eyes still not leaving Oscar’s as he did so. “Well done,” he said with a small smile. Oscar noticed after he set the drink down that his plush lips were damp and shiny from the foamy beer. “I guess I am off my game tonight. Good show, Oscar.” And although he knew he should still be basking pettily in his moment of small-but-gratifying triumph… all of the sudden, Oscar found that all he could focus on was the fact that this was the first time he’d heard Carlos actually use his name. He was deeply unnerved to realize just how much he’d liked the sound of it.

nsfw: he just turned in like i didn't exist by @drivestraight | E | 36.5k Carlos and Oscar develop a soul bond. Neither of them are thrilled about this. This fic is wonderful. The soulbond complicates their already prickly relationship, until they start to develop an understanding and find empathy for one another. Oscar keeps getting little zings of stress from Carlos which we know are about his contract. Oscar, meanwhile, is starting to work a few things out about his sexuality and finds Carlos to be a surprisingly kind and patient presence in his mind.

'Oscar swallows. You heard me? he asks, uselessly. That first day, Oscar had assumed that everything Carlos heard, he responded to. Carlos hadn’t—hadn’t responded to any of those thoughts. Oscar hadn’t known. I heard everything. It is not very pleasant to have someone tell you how unwanted you are all the time. How you would prefer it to be literally anyone else. Bringing the incident up was the only way to get you to stop thinking about how horrible it was to have me as a soulmate. You do not think as quietly as you think. Oscar’s throat feels tight, a sinking and horrible feeling settling into his gut. Carlos hadn’t—at least not in English—hadn’t thought a single thing about how horrible their bond was. Oscar’s been the asshole this whole time, hasn’t he? I didn’t mean it like that, he tries. It feels like a lie even to himself. Carlos doesn’t respond. I’m sorry, Oscar tries again, playing with the ring on his index finger. Carlos is silent for the rest of the weekend. Oscar finds out later, from Lando, that it was Carlos’ birthday.'

I’m pretty new to f1 tumblr what blogs would you recommend?

I'm probably the worst person to ask 😭 but here we go!!

@maxlarens - for fics and reblogs of greatness. also, her concepts are god tier, and she'll make you fall in love with streetracing Oscar

@driverlando - for her smaus and yapping. Sasha will make you fall in love with Lando

@snoopyracing - fics, pics, yapping -Maddie will make you a Pato fan. Just accept it.

@harrysfolklore for amazing fics!!

@fastandcarlos - Chloe's smaus are great she always puts a smile on my face

@spiderbeam - go for the writing, stay for the amazing yapping she does about fics

@oscarpiastriwdc - you'll either see great Oscar content or crack posts

@foreveralbon - I'm a new follower of hers but liyah is so wonderful! great fics and I truly adore just scrolling her blog for hot takes and thoughts

@captainreecejames - AMAZING writing ugh

@forzalando - marissa my beloved. her fics will either break your heart or have you giggling and kicking your feet

that's all off the top of my head (I'll read this later and realize I forgot someone)! I also recommend following a few tags (f1, a few of the drivers names) and curate your own corner of the f1 fandom.

Interested in race analysis and the like? I'm definitely not your girl. Wanna talk history of f1?? Definitely not here idk anything before this season. But I'm always here to chat about hotness, be an armchair psychologist for drivers (mainly Max, Logan, Lando, and Oscar), and gush about the hotness/adorableness/stupidity/etc

tagged by @blueballsracing to post a no context snippet:

Oscar hadn’t even thought about Lando in a dress before, but Lando of course had been resourceful enough to stress test the theory, and now here they were. “This thing itches.” Lando says. The other man’s face is warm with nerves. Oscar’s overcome with the urge to soothe or fuck this out of him. Perhaps both. “Come here.” Oscar mumbles. “Oh, finally. Like you didn’t— mmmerhgh.” Lando cannot finish his sentence, because Oscar kisses him furiously. Kisses him like he wants to suck all the air out of the room and Lando’s embarrassment with it, when there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Just Lando, a vision. A wrong that is so right that Oscar can’t find it in himself to feel ashamed about any of it, doesn’t have it in him to want to deny what they are anymore.

[liamlawsonlesbian]

what book I would give each current formula one driver to introduce them to the joy of reading

an intellectual exercise no one* asked for

Max Verstappen: Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond - if you are nd and have read this book, you may understand me. otherwise just trust me. the impetus for this post

Checo Perez: The Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White - this is an excellent read-aloud book for Sergio Jr.'s age, and there is nothing as wonderful as reading a compelling book to a kid you love, imho

Charles Leclerc: The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman - he is on the record as a Potter enjoyer. also, I think he would enjoy having a little animal friend

Carlos Sainz: Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood - okay yes this is partially a joke about the title, but this is a hilarious and wonderful memoir, about weird families and Catholicism, and I think Carlos would enjoy it.

Lando Norris: Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett - in my mind Lando is a little bit like @bright-and-burning but less cool, so this fits. also, the combination of high number of jokes/page + action/mystery seems like a good fit

Oscar Piastri: Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie - this book has the kind of mystery that really draws you in, plus I think Oscar would dig the questions about AI it digs into. I choose to believe with zero evidence that he would be interested in the funky gender stuff

Fernando Alonso: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell - look me in the eye and tell me this book wasn't written for Fernando Alonso

Lance Stroll: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card - yeah

Lewis Hamilton: Die Trying by Lee Child - Lewis deserves to read mildly trashy thrillers <3 plus there's a Tom Cruise movie

George Russell: Changing My Mind by Zadie Smith - as a proud Brit, George should be reading one of the premiere English authors of the 21st century. her first book of essays is a fun and readable place to start

Yuki Tsunoda: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel - I don't have a Yuki-lore explanation, I just want to give him one of my favorite books

Daniel Ricciardo: The Gunslinger by Steven King - The Dark Tower series is Lord of the Rings-esque in scope but Western-inflected in aesthetic and written by The Horror Guy, I think DR would enjoy

Alex Albon: The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee - I say this with so much love in my heart, but Alex wants to be seen as smart. this book is brilliantly written pop science

Logan Sargeant: Bloomability by Sharon Creech - yes this is a book for tween girls, but it's about boarding school in Switzerland, and Sharon Creech is a genius. if I could convince him to read it, I think he would love it

Valtteri Bottas: The Fellowship of the Ring by JRR Tolkien - what are hobbits if not humanoid moomins?

Zhou Guanyu: Piranesi by Susannah Clarke - a fun, exciting, stylishly written book for a stylish guy

Kevin Magnussen: Watership Down by Richard Adams - rabbit warfare <3

Nico Hulkenberg: A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles - Hulk SEEMS like a Dad Who Reads Historical Fiction, even if he isn't yet

Pierre Gasly: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo - I almost said A Game of Thrones but I don't think that would be good for him. so, Six of Crows. he likes heists!

Esteban Ocon: City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty - a superhero origin story of sorts for Mr. Spiderman

Bonus: Liam Lawson: Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir - lesbian from New Zealand. let me have this

*ro asked for it, take it up with them @oscarpiastriwdc

[albonoooo]

thank you for the tag @oscarpiastriwdc <3

who is your favourite driver? oscar, charles, alex. i'm indecisive.

do you have any other favourite drivers? lando and max. i'm always rooting for yuki as well.

who is your least favourite driver? daniel always. i don't really like checo either and due to recent events, carlos until someone else pisses me off more. i used to say nico h, but he's been funny lately and called nico r "rosi" in china.

do you pull for drivers or do you like teams as well? drivers all the way. as ro said: all teams/institutions are evil.

if you like teams, what team do you pull for? sigh. forza ferrari.

how long have you been into f1? a bit less than a year.

how did you get into f1? in short, thanks to algorithms. charles leclerc thirst edits started popping up everywhere and i had to investigate lmao.

do you enjoy fanfic/rpf? i wouldn't be on tumblr otherwise.

how do you view new fans? hi, hello, welcome! please leave your mental wellbeing at the door for the sake of watching this sport.

if you could take over as team principal for any team, who would it be and why?: i think i would be a horrible tp which makes me a great fit for the job description. i'd make the visa cash app rb formula one team the scuderia toro rosso again, send daniel into retirement, bring in liam lawson for the second seat, start loads of rumours and conspiracies against marko and horner, lie to the press constantly, name one of the sainz family's crusty dogs as my successor and then fuck off.

are your friends and family into f1 as well? not really. i have an uncle who does watch, but i highly doubt he has a tumblr blog and an ao3 account to complete the experience. if i explained shipping to him, i'd probably send him to the grave. one of my irl friends sends my every f1 reel she comes across, which is very sweet and i feel like i could indoctrinate her if i play my cards right.

are you open to talking to other fans/making friends?: yes, of course!

tagged by @blueballsracing to share a last line i wrote (and it’s been a bit of time cus, busy.) so i yanked something from an old draft instead…

from a time travel 814 oneshot which will probably never see the light of day:

—————

Lando toys with a corner of the blanket. He’s never been good about hiding his feelings. Oscar loves that about him.

“And how was I?” Lando asks.

“Technically it wasn’t you,” Oscar says, shifting on the bed. “But you were… feisty.”

“Still am, ‘scuse me.”

“But in the way you were at twenty four. You know? You were all over the place then.”

“Fair. My stamina was better then.”

“And not much else.”

Lando smacks his arm with a pillow. “Oi.”

“Point is, we were such different people.”

“I dunno. Are we technically the same people? All the same genetic stuff but in different time branches, right?”

It’s at this point that thinking about the science of what they’re able to do, hurts. More so than either of them ever felt when racing cars at three hundred kilometers an hour. Somehow.

“This is a level of physics I haven’t thought about in fifteen years, Lan.”

“Nerd.”

“Tired nerd.”

“Need soothing, do you?”

“Yeah.” Something unfolds inside of Oscar. He’s home. It’s the moss green of the wall. The cabinet of trophies gleaming proudly in front of framed pictures. Their dog napping outside the bedroom. And this is his Lando.

The world makes sense again.

“Yeah,” Oscar repeats. “That’d be nice, actually.”

Asking more is encouraged <3

10. a blog (mutual or one you follow) that has made your fandom experience brighter.

There are so many amazing people and blogs on here

24. how has fandom positively impacted your life?

I have met some of my best friends through fandom. And many in the F1 community. Finding cool people to talk to so have similar interests is one of the joys of life. I really don't know who I'd be talking to right now if not for some of the amazing people I have met through fandom.

25. a piece of advice for taking care of yourself in fandom spaces.

Avoid discourse like the plague. Focus on the things you DO like and find other people who like the same (ships, drivers, characters, etc etc etc)

ASK ME FANDOM QUESTIONS
