pancakes (pt. 1)

welcome a new multi-chapter fic. enjoy.

AKA - the story of how the naive australian rookie befriended the gym junkie F1 hospitality worker with the shoe collection - and inadvertently broke the grid's most treasured and unspoken rule: you don't go for y/n.

series masterlist here :) // the pancakes recipe here :)

P1 - bulgarian split squats

Really, the only way to survive Formula 1 was by going to the gym. 

The gym addiction was something that had existed long before joining the circus of a motorsports paddock filled with politics and rumours, as well as the slim fitting uniforms that always seemed to be accompanied by, in your opinion, ugly ass shoes. 

Sure, Puma was the offical sponsor but couldn’t they get anything other than the Speedcat? And what even was that name? Speedcat? It was on brand, sure, but at what cost? Really? If Formula 1 was trying to grow its popularity they could honestly start with their dress code. Seeing Christian Horner in Skechers really took the intimidation out of him when you served him his double espresso during the Spanish Grand Prix that one time last season. 

One of the perks of working in Hospitality - and there were very few far and in between - was that uniform was not so strict. F1 Hospitality only required an all black service with ‘comfortable shoes.’ This you took for interpretation. Dunks. Jordan 4s. Maybe 1s. Never 13s. Forces were good for a night race - that usually meant more stairs - and Vans were what you reached for in the morning when you knew you’d be working the barista shift. Converse were for ‘throw away’ races.

These were the races where you knew the shoe-care was not important. For example, Silverstone with its torrential UK drinkers who were likely to throw up on your beloved sneakers. Alas, you had learned the hard way when you almost lost your job by rushing to the kitchen to start scrubbing the vomit off your blue and red Cortez during peak lunch.

Never again.

Admittedly, you did try to keep at least one pair of Converse in good care since they were the renowned shoe come leg day. 

Another perk of working in F1 Hospitality was that every circuit’s map layout had been drilled into your head. Meaning you always knew exactly where the communal driver’s gym was located at and could therefore get your daily dose of dopamine before dealing with… well, everything.

You silenced the shrill horror that came from the iPhone alarm. 4:00 read the lockscreen, the light shining brightly into your face. It didn’t help that your wallpaper had a photo with a clear blue sky, making the light even harsher in the darkness. You could’ve very well changed it and avoid the pain you routinely go through every morning. But it was this very photo that reminded you why you were getting up in four in the morning in the first place. 

You had snapped it during a free practice in Italy that had miraculously lined up with a break in your shift. The sky was clear and the red car was small, but clear on the circuit. Ferrari, of course. You still remember the buzz that circled around the paddock staff that day. No matter who you routed for or whatever bias you had, there was a unanimously acknowledgement that Ferrari winning at Monza was special. He was special. 

Then again, you’ve known that long before he stood on that podium in Italy and was given his infamous nickname. 

It didn’t even take you ten minutes until you were out the door. Your gym clothes (pump cover included!) were on the one limpy chair that decorated your poor little hotel room, your shaker sat on top of your gym bag with you black high top Converse right beside it. By the time you had made it to the gym, it was a little past 4:15 and you had already scooped in pre-workout into your mouth ready to get through the oncoming pain. 

Your hips were a little tight, as per normal. The left side even more so. The hood of your hoodie was up, headphones on and blasting the hardstyle house music that would see you through the next two hours. You went through your usual stretches but with today’s added focus on the lower body. 

And then you went about destroying your legs. 

It was about an hour or so that Oscar finally sleepily arrived. You weren’t actually sure what time it was but you were up to doing bulgarian split squats - and hating life - and that was usually at the hour mark. You gave him a curious once over, noting the odd choice of clothing. It was a little odd to see a driver in the paddock wearing athleisure that wasn’t their team uniform.

“Bro, it’s five in the morning.” Oscar groaned, shuffling over to come and sit on the bench next to you. You gave another three more reps - Oscar silently watching you groan in pain through the last two - and then finally dropped the dumbbells. You reached over to take a sip of water and checked the phone for the time.

“It’s five thirteen in the morning.” You corrected. It had been just about the hour mark. “Are we training today or?” It wasn’t the first time Oscar had joined you. The reason his neck was getting stronger was because of you. In your opinion, the trainer Alpine had assigned Oscar was a fucking idiot.

“You’re doing legs.” Oscar pointed out, as if that was enough of an answer. He leaned to lay back down on the bench and stared up as he continued to speak. “Drivers don’t need bulky legs. We’ve been over this.”

You had. Many times. You knew he was right. It still would be nice to have someone to go through legs with you, though.

“So train with light weights.” You offered, trying. Oscar just gave you a look that made it clear he was not picking up any type of weights. You shrugged, not deterred. “I’ll do calisthenics with you. Or we can work on plyometrics.” Oscar’s response was to close his eyes and let out a deep sigh. “Fuck it man, do some cardio.” You came to the last resort, coming to kick his legs as you walked past to load up the smith machine with some different plates. 

“Piss off Tezza.” The Australian-ness continuing to shine through with the nickname that Oscar had specifically designed for you in respect of your shared citizenship to the ‘land down under.’

Except unlike the blond caucasian boy who loved AFL, grew up in Brighton East and attended Haileybury, your Australian-ness was less obvious. Your accent, for one, wasn’t as prominent since your parents were African immigrants. This, of course, didn’t just influence your speech patterns and accent.

Dark skin, dark eyes and dark hair, you weren't exactly the picture of a 'true blue Aussie.' The rite of public school bullying from those who did look 'Australian' (whatever that meant) had you scoffing at vegemite and preferring to follow EPL and La Liga than whatever the fuck was Aussie Rules Football.

Why is it called football if the players pick up the ball?

Still, when a homesick Oscar Piastri overheard one of the Hospitality staff yell out that that they were going for a 'Macca’s run' between the practice sessions on his very first F1 race weekend, he instantly picked up on the Australian-ism. And he didn’t let it go. And cue the beginning of a friendship that had Oscar Piastri calling you ‘bro’ and shortening your last name as per Australian rite.

Even if you had sworn off that sort of thing.

“Oscar, man, if you ain’t here to train then why are you?” You said, locking the plates in place on the smith machine. You lifted up your hood up and ducked under the bar to rest the metal against you shoulders, the hood acting as a cushion. The starting weight was light enough that you wouldn't have to worry about music for your first set. Besides, if Oscar was here, he could be the entertainment for this set. “You forget that this is a driver’s only gym. You could get in trouble." The sarcasm was all too clear in your voice.

No one used the ‘drivers-only’ gym. It was something that every Grand Prix had set up. Mobile, communal and high-end, it had enough equipment to rival the local 24/7 studio franchise gym that seemed to exist in every neighbourhood. Despite the fact that every driver preferred to train at their own motorhome gym - or that every team had their own mobile gym set up in conjunction to the motorhome - F1 still went about packing up and moving their own studio gym to every single location come race weekend.

If anything, it was a nice stop during the presentation walk during the sponsorship lunches where good old Stefano Domenicali would show off all the amazing resources that the Grand Prix space has to offer. 

So, no. F1’s Driver Gym was not used.

The only reason it wasn’t gathering dust was because every weekend it was packed up and moved. That and you woke up at 4am every weekend to destroy your muscles in the familiar red and black equipment.

"You're here." Oscar reminded you. "And not a driver."

You ignored him and just kept up with your repetitions, focusing on engaging your glutes and keeping your core tight. Oscar was silent as you finished your first set. When you finished your last rep, he stood up and came round as you locked the machine. He knew you well enough to pick up the 10kg and help add it to the sides.

"Thanks." You said. Oscar nodded and added the weight to the other side. There was a quiet air for a moment and you went to pick up your headphones to put them back on. Things were getting heavier and you would need music to get through the next few sets.

“I might be leaving Alpine.” 

You looked up at Oscar who dropped the bomb and then looked back at your headphones. You sighed and then dropped the headphones back to land in your gym bag. Headphoneless, you went back to the machine and Oscar took your invitation.

“Zak Brown approached me yesterday and suggested something about picking me up for next year.” Oscar said.

You just kept squatting. Oscar was far too removed to yet be aware of - well, everything.

“And with talk of Fernando quitting, I know that Alpine will be calling me up but do I trust that? Honestly Lando has been doing so well and Ocon has always pissed me off.” Oscar watched as you started to struggle.

He stood up and came around to help you but you just shook you head. You pushed through one more rep and then called it. 

“He does have a punchable face.” You said, now out of breath. Esteban had always annoyed you and before meeting Oscar, you used to dread the weekends where you were put on Alpine.

Your friend handed you the water bottle sat beside your gym bag before you could even ask. You gave a two finger salute in thanks as he continued on.

“And Lily and I got into this massive fight again! Apparently I don’t communicate enough!” He huffed. “But I sent her flowers and chocolates because she’s going through finals and she likes daisies and Cadbury."

“Yeah, but is that her love language though?” You asked, dropping your bottle and going to stack up the final set of weights on the smith machine. Oscar stood up again to help you.

“Her what?” He asked, handing you the plate.

“Love language.” You answered, still panting, and explained, “You’ve got physical touch, gift giving, quality time, words of affirmation and acts of service.” 

“Are you saying people love in specific ways?" Oscar asked, quick to process new information as always.

“Exactly. You did something nice for her, an act of service. Maybe all she wants is a nice, long phone call or maybe some texts complimenting her or something.” You shrugged and then brought up your headphones.

Oscar accepted this, knowing the last set would require music.

He watched you as you settled back under the smith machine bar and went on squatting more than his body weight. He shook his head and ran a hand over his face. He really shouldn't have been surprised at your lack of surprise. Little shocked you. That or your might’ve already known and just kept it to yourself. F1 Hospitality were a part of the Formula One Group and, therefore, were not associated to any one team. They had rotations across all teams and, therefore, every member of staff were required to sign an NDA. Not that ever did anything in this damn place.

Still, Oscar knew that you were one of the few genuine people left in this place.

He knew that there would’ve been so many opportunities where you could’ve easily done something for yourself by recounting something you had overheard while pouring Toto Wolff his coffee or serving Mattia Binotto his lunch. It was the reason why so many teams hired their own internal hospo staff.

It was also the reason why Oscar felt comfortable coming to tell you about Alpine and McLaren before he had even told his own parents, or Lily. The argument with his girlfriend had prevented him from getting any sleep, mulling it over in his mind for hours. Oscar knew you would be able to help him through it all.

And that you would be the only one awake at this godforsaken hour.

By the time you had finished your first set, he was Googling love languages and having a quick read through. 

By the time you had finished your second set, he was halfway through doing the love languages quiz.

By the time you had finished your third and final set, he was seeing what the problem was between him and Lily.

“I think Lily is words of affirmation and I'm acts of service." He said, coming up to the machine as you stepped back and pulled down your headphones. You blinked and nodded, still put of breath. "I think I forgot to check in with her and send her some compliments. Tell her I'm proud of her for getting through exams. Especially because she never is one for gifts, really."

You held out your hand to him. "There you go. Growth."

"I don't know what to do about Alpine."

"Call a lawyer."

Oscar pursed his lips and then considered this. That wouldn't be his first move but thinking about it, it was probably for the best. "That's actually a good idea."

"Isn't that why you're here?" You retorted. "Since you're not here to train. Speaking of which, the fuck is that?"

“What?” He asked and realised you were looking at his feet.

“Zak Brown isn’t going to hire you if he finds out that you’re wearing fucking thongs with socks.” You said, finally recognising the flip-flops he wore with some white socks that really needed to be washed. 

“You’ve been a great help, thanks.” Oscar smiled. You rolled your eyes and went to your gym bag. Pulling out a pair of white Adidas Sambas, you tossed them to Oscar.

“Put these on.”

“Is my footwear really that offensive to you?”

“We’ll go run the track.” You said then gestured to all of him. “It’ll help you burn all of this off.”

Oscar sighed and did as he was told. He laced up the shoes you'd given him that surprisingly fit his large feet and followed you out to the track. He used his pass to get through since a driver running the track at 5:30 in the morning would just be seen as the dedication to the grind. A Hospitality staff member would just be accused of breaking in. 

“Maybe it’s a good thing you’re going through a crisis. I’ve always wanted to do a morning run on the track.” You said with a grin as the pair of you came to the starting line that, in a matter of hours, would be full of mechanics, engineers, reporters, camera crew members and, of course, drivers.  

“If I get a seat at McLaren, you can be my trainer.” Oscar said as you both started warming up into a light jog.

"Ha." You snorted. "As if you could afford me, bro."

Let's Have Those Flashy Goodies!!

There will actually be a couple of collection update entries over the next few days. Not only did the EMS package from Japan arrive, but so did a couple of other fun orders. Prefer to not cram it all into one massive post! *lol* Not really sure if the framed picture is an official licensed product? At the end of the day, it truly doesn't matter. I love it and really want this as eye candy on my wall.

Clearly, a decision was made to open and display the birthday acrylic diorama stand. Figured why not, since the pieces were already loose?!

The wallet shown in the first pic, was taken out of the plastic packaging. I wanted to show off a certain sexy Jolly Roger on the back. Truth be told, this wallet was purchased with one of my Buggy ita bags in mind anyway.

Since learning of ARS, I really wanted a graded 10 slab by them. Really love how they present a card with an engraved metal plaque at the bottom. Looks very clean in my humble opinion, the laminated certificate is a nice touch too.

The odd bottle, lying on its side, above the plush, is actually a food spice! Would be cool to obtain another one and try it out sometime. Okay, so my mind is being silly. It looks like the Buggy postcard is going to bite the bum of the beanbag plushie. *lol*

Yes, the Buggy Stampede figure was unboxed and is now proudly on display. He's just way to hot and flashy to leave packed away. *grins*

This amazing figure was a pain in the rump to photograph. He just needed to be at the right angle. Admittedly, I was not a fan of the little beanbag plush before. However, my mind has now been changed. Beanbag Buggy there is too cute for words and more are now needed. There must be an army of them in my possession!! *inserts evil laughter*

Puma and One Piece did a 4 Emperors collaboration. These shoes were not only snagged for a very reasonable price but were brand spanking new! They have now since been worn by yours truly.

Anyone hesitant about buying these shoes, I'd highly recommend them. There are fun details, such as Buggy's Jolly Roger.

The shirt here was found in a nice sized lot of goodies; the same lot contained the pin set pictured in the third photo above.

Of course, if it didn't feature my handsome genius jester, I wouldn't have been as interested in purchasing it. *lol*

So, this jar was a rather odd and random find. It actually comes with a dessert inside. Shame that I can't try said tastiness, but just owning the container is more than enough for me.

There was one other item in the box, but a photo won't be shown, as I'm rather upset. The seller pulled a bait and switch, sending a fake! What was this item? Sadly, the Buggy Manga TCG card. Something that is rather expensive, but I found what I thought was a not so perfect one for cheaper. All the photos the seller supplied were of a legit card too! What arrived in my hands is not…I truly hate people! The sleazy seller needs to die flashily!! *grumbles* I've been trying to get a refund through Buyee. It's looking like a chargeback may have to be filed, which will get me banned from the middleman service.

[spencer-kicks]

With the size of my shoe and boot collection, it's easy to keep pairs for many years, with some over a decade.

These Puma hightops are one example.

They are old but taken care of. And it's very likely, unless I sell them, this pair of kicks should remain in my possession for many more years.

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Connect with Fans at PUMA's Las Vegas Flagship Store

Yesterday, Scuderia Ferrari HP drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz brought energy and excitement to the grand opening of PUMA’s new flagship store on the iconic Las Vegas Strip. The two-hour event celebrated the launch of the Desert Sun Collection and the deep-rooted partnership between PUMA and Scuderia Ferrari HP, creating a memorable experience for fans and media alike.

The event kicked off with a grand entrance as Leclerc and Sainz greeted an enthusiastic crowd gathered outside the store. Once inside, they participated in exclusive media interviews, where they shared insights into their journey with Scuderia Ferrari HP and the inspiration behind the collection.

Fans and attendees were treated to interactive experiences that highlighted the fusion of motorsport and Las Vegas culture. Among the attractions were the “48 Club” area and sim-racing activities designed to reflect the thrill of the city.

One of the event’s highlights was a customization session at the PUMA x YOU station. Leclerc and Sainz personalized items from the Desert Sun Collection with unique touches like Leclerc’s “Leo” symbol and Sainz’s signature chili pepper. These customizations will be available for fans to create throughout the week.

Twenty lucky fans got the chance to meet the drivers personally, collecting autographs and photos during an intimate meet-and-greet session. Additionally, the first 100 fans who purchased items from the collection received a limited-edition, Las Vegas-themed tote bag, co-branded for this special occasion.

Driver Favorites from the Collection

Carlos Sainz: “I enjoy the Varsity Jacket the most. It’s high-quality and pairs perfectly with the Desert Sun Collection.”

Charles Leclerc: “I love hoodies, so the hoodie from this collection is a favorite, along with the Varsity Jacket. The washed-out style of the Desert Sun Collection is fantastic!”

Highlights of the Store Experience

Carlos Sainz: “Entering the PUMA store with the Ferrari show car at the entrance was an incredible way to start. The activities, from sim racing to shoe customization and exploring the secret vault, were amazing.”

Charles Leclerc: “The store is massive! Huge shout-out to PUMA for bringing this to life on the Las Vegas Strip. From the Las Vegas cultural details to exclusive collections, sim racing, and customization options, there’s so much to explore.”

The PUMA flagship store event proved to be more than just a launch—it was a celebration of creativity, motorsport passion, and fan connection, setting a high bar for future activations.

Craig is a very heavy sleeper which makes it really hard to wake him up. His house could be getting nuked and he'd still be sound asleep. Which is good for him, but terrible for Tweek whenever he stays the night since it makes him think he died. Because of how heavily he sleeps, he seems to wake up to himself being in very awkward and uncomfortable positions which make him look like he was dismembered and put back together by some sort of high alien. Which also doesn't help Tweek at all. And since Tweek often struggles to fall asleep, Craig does his best to stay awake until Tweek falls asleep. He's only successful 30% of the time though.

There is only one thing that can wake Craig up, the Red Racer Intro. Craig literally watches this show every day of the week and he absolutely CANNOT afford to miss a single episode of it, even if he's watched the entire show multiple times. So whenever you need to wake Craig up in any situation, just play the intro of Red Racer and he's up in .1 seconds. Though he might be a little if not VERY angry if you wake him up like this, unless you're Tweek.

Tweek

Tweek hangs around Craig a lot, so Tweek has picked up on some of Craigs.. bad habits.. Craig is notorious for being the bad kid in class and flipping everyone off, including teachers. So, now Tweek also flips people off whenever they annoy him, especially the main four which Craig and his gang find absolutely hilarious. But as to their dismay, Tweek also flips them off whenever they're being annoying or arrogant which they can be often times. Tweek has even flipped off Craig a couple of times out of habit of doing it to everyone else (He ended up having a panic attack afterwards and Craig had to comfort him). Though Craig seemed to find it amusing.

So now instead of it being just Craig getting sent to the principals office, it's both Tweek AND Craig who get sent for flipping teachers off together. The councilor always lets them off with a warning since they're gay and Cartman absolutely hates that they get special treatment because of it. Tweek and Craig always flip him off together just because it's funny. The Asian girls have definitely drawn fan art of them out of this.

Tolkien

Tolkien is the mom friend of the group, if not the voice of reason often times. And because he's one of the few kids with actual good parents, he has great advice given to him by his parents. So whenever something goes wrong for one of the group members, the first person they go to is Tolkien. Tweek and Craig have even tried to hire Tolkien as their personal Couple Councilor. Tolkien is the type of person to carry bandages and alcohol wipes in his bag and pockets. And in his mind, anything that can't be cured with those or an ice pack, requires a trip to the emergency room.

The others have definitely asked Tolkien for money at least once, seeing as how he's loaded. But instead of just lending them money, he refers them small part time jobs where they can earn it themselves. I can see Tolkien asking his parents if they could hire his friends as his butlers so he doesn't have to do chores anymore. They denied this of course, so Tolkien just offers them money if they can do his chores for him secretly.

Clyde

Since Clyde's dad owns the shoe store at the mall, Clyde has all a full collection of shoes, Jordans, Air Forces, Nike, Adidas, Pumas, he even has some of the most rare and expensive shoes which his friends have tried to steal on multiple occasions. Especially Cartman. Because of this, he has a secret compartment under his bed which he stores all his most rare items. It's just a loose floor board under his bed, but shhh, no one needs to know :›. Tolkien has tried to pay Clyde to let him wear one of his shoes for a day, but not even Clyde has worn some of his own shoes just so that they're value doesn't go down, so that was an instant no.

His friends don't understand him on this. Why have something if you're not gonna use it? Clyde having a huge ego on this topic always goes, "Just to brag!" So this is the part where Craig usually flips him off, sometimes even Tweek when he's fed up. Though Clyde doesn't care, he doesn't see them with a thousand dollar worth of shoes? But one thing he doesn't understand is why can't Tolkien just get his own pair?

Jimmy

Jimmy has a lazy eye. But he can control it. He just likes to keep it that way because well, it's just funny to him. Sometimes, he puts his eyes back to match with his other eye and go through the whole day like that and everyone will notice something's different, but they can never figure out what. Everyone's crowded around Jimmy just asking him questions like- "You look different today, what did you change?" "Did you get a haircut?" "Is your shirt a different shade of yellow?" "Did you grow?" At this point Cartman buds in "You guys, Jimmy's legs obviously got more shriveled up from him not using them!" Jimmy loves the attention that's given to him.

On a random occasion while Jimmy was with his friends, he just made his eye go the other way while everyone was watching him. When he finished he smiled and said, "I can see you" everyone was grossed out. This became a gag and is something he does on the daily now. Still, it's always the same reaction everytime and everytime Jimmy loves it.
