max wins his fourth championship

red bull turkey dinosaurs au, 1560 words

The moment Gianpiero sees Max’s crinkly-eyed smile and fluffy hair plastered across every TV screen in the paddock, he knows Max is going to drop. Maybe not yet, but soon. It’s obvious to GP now, especially because he’s had 4 years to start recognising the signs.

Max has dropped after every championship win. GP doesn’t know if it’s the relief of finally claiming the title, or Max allowing himself to celebrate exactly how he wants to, but either way, the team love celebrating with the little guy. There is nothing better than his unbridled childlike wonder and squawking giggles filling the garage after a win.

“You’re going with Max,” Christian tells him, he’s sat a couple of seats down on the pit wall – his headphones still on after congratulating Max.

“Am I?” GP asks, surprised. Max won the title, but he only placed P5 - he’s not going on the podium. Why would GP be going with Max?

“There’s a car ride to the Bellagio,” Christian says, then softens his eyes and insists. “You go with him in the car.”

He gets it now. Christian is worried Max will drop too soon, and if he does then GP needs to be there with him. He doesn’t need to be told twice.

The walk to Parc Ferme is chaos. There are bodies everywhere. The pit lane is full of people celebrating, mechanics trying to get to their cars, photographers, journalists, and paddock club members swarming. But he makes it through.

The moment he sees Max, he starts running. His driver has just won their fourth championship in a row and he can’t wait to throw his arms around Max. They knew the win was a possibility today, but GP didn’t think it would happen, especially not with a DIY rear wing. But Max always surprises him.

“You were amazing!” GP screams as he gets close enough for Max to hear him. He acts on impulse, maybe because Max looked so soft on the TV footage, or maybe because GP can feel how much Max needs a hug. Either way, before he knows it he’s bending down and lifting Max up like he does when Max is small, holding him so tightly as Max giggles loudly.

“You did exactly what you needed to, mate!” GP says, “You knew who our race was with and you made it happen.”

“Only P5,” Max says, shrugging, as GP puts his feet back on the floor. GP hates how hard Max is on himself sometimes, even with a championship win today Max considers P5 the fourth loser.

“It was the best we could have got from the car today, Max.” GP affirms, “More than the car deserved actually.”

Max smiles, cheeks turning a little pink with the praise.

“My world champ!” GP says, refocusing Max on the huge positive. He puts a hand on Max’s shoulder and shakes him a little, so damn proud.

They’re ushered into an obnoxious Rolls Royce with fairy lights on the ceiling and far too many buttons that Max immediately starts pressing.

“Look,” Max says, shyly indicating what each button does.

“Yeah, cool isn’t it?” GP replies, going along with it. He suspects Max has already started to drop, usually Max isn’t so enamoured by buttons.

“Jeep, I won,” Max whispers. Maybe the microphones can pick it up and GP will have a new nickname in the paddock tomorrow, or maybe they can’t and the name Jeep will still be reserved for only Max to call him – it doesn’t matter either way.

GP looks over to Max, leans back in his seat, and smiles fondly, “Yes, you did. How are you feeling?”

“Thirsty,” Max says.

GP hands him his water bottle, filled with a fruity electrolyte drink, the long bendy straw is tied up so GP unties it and hands Max the mouthpiece.

“Tank you,” Max says through his slow sips.

The next few hours are full on, but GP stays close to Max, making sure Max doesn’t drop too deep. He ends up lingering just outside of the TV pen, following Max to each interview, and standing next to him in the group photo.

“Jeep,” Max whines, after the team has thoroughly drenched him in red bull and champagne. He’s tugging on the sleeve of GP’s jacket rather insistently, trying to drag him back towards the hospitality building.

GP knows immediately that Max has dropped fully, that he’s probably around 3 or 4 years old now mentally.

“What is it, Maxy?” GP asks gently, “What do you need?”

“Sticky.” Max flaps his arms. “No no no.”

GP nods, he leans down and scoops Max up onto his shoulder. A fireman’s carry. One that doesn’t look immediately strange if there are any photos of this online.

“Come on then, time to get the world champion in the shower!” GP laughs, running towards the building.

“No Jeep!” Max squeals, “No shower! BAFF!”

So, a bath it is then.

Rupert, almost magically, has the blow-up bathtub ready for Max when they get back to his driver’s room. There are lots of bubbles and three rubber ducks floating on the top, a daddy, a mummy, and a baby duck. Max’s little duck family travel to every race with them.

“Well done, buddy,” Rupert says when they barge into the room. He takes Max from GP, holding him on his hip and giving him a quick bounce. “We are so proud of you.”

Max nuzzles into Rupert’s neck.

“Rupy, baff,” Max points. “Sticky.”

GP and Rupert work together to get Max out of his clothes, he’s got so many layers on to combat the cold Vegas night. They both chucklenwhen they pull off one sock and then there’s another one right underneath.

Eventually, once Max is free of all clothes and socks, GP lifts him into the tub.

He splishes splashes, happily babbling to his ducks.

“You going to call Dan?” Rupert asks quietly. The elephant in every room. Daniel isn’t here. Nobody can blame him, either.

GP nods. “Yeah, I was waiting for a quiet moment alone. I think it would have been too much for Max earlier, he would have dropped deep in front of everyone, and that’s not fair to him or Daniel.”

“Yeah,” Rupert agrees. “I’ll leave you guys to it while you call him, don’t worry about the bath, I’ll clean up in here when you’re done.”

Rupert gives Maxy a quick kiss on the head, and Maxy brings baby duck up to peck at Rupert’s cheek. “Bye Rupy!”

It makes GP’s heart swell, how lovely and innocent this version of Max is. How sweet and kind. How delicate.

“Maxy, shall we call Daddy now?”

Maxy looks at him with huge, adoring blue eyes, nodding desperately.

“Ok,” GP says, calling Daniel on FaceTime.

He hands Max the phone as it’s ringing.

“Try not to drop my phone in the bath, Maxy,” GP tells him, “Do safe hands, okay?”

Max is just about to reply when Daniel answers, and the screen fills with his big smile.

“Daddy!” Maxy beams, flapping a little. Daniel probably can’t see him very well.

“Oh, baby,” Daniel says, eyes wet. “You’re small already?”

Max nods, bringing his baby duck up towards the camera to peck and kiss at the phone screen. GP has to look away, it’s so sweet that it feels like it should be a private moment between the two of them.

“You were so good today, baby.” Daniel sobs, “You won and I am so proud of you.”

Max nods again, happy, but GP can tell it’s not the championship he’s happy about now. He’s happy because he’s talking to his Daddy.

“When Daddy come?” Max pouts. “Daddy, what about my night night bottle? And story time?”

“I am coming, baby,” Daniel says, panning the camera around to show Max the airport lounge he is sitting in. “I am coming to give you your bottle and a really big cuddle. Is that okay?”

“Yes!” Max splashes in excitement, and GP worries about his phone.

“Okay, Daddy will be there in two hours,” Daniel tells him, “I’m coming, Maxy.”

GP watches as Max babbles and giggles on the phone to Daniel until eventually Max’s eyes droop a little and Daniel has to get on the plane.

“Alright Maxy, tell Daddy you’ll see him very soon,” GP says, prompting Max to start saying his goodbyes. “See you soon, Dan!”

“Bye Daddy,” Maxy yawns, “See you soon.”

Once GP has hung up the call, and his phone is back to safety on the dry desk, he begins to lift Max out of the bath.

Getting him dry is always a challenge. Max twists and turns to avoid the towel as it tickles his tummy, and he absolutely does not let anyone near his ears so GP has to be extra careful when drying his hair. But eventually, Max is dry and in his pyjamas, a footed onesie with dinosaurs on it.

“Very handsome,” GP says, kissing his forehead as he lifts Max up and onto his hip. “Shall we go and see the mechanics before Daddy gets here? I know they’ll want to see you.”

“Okay,” Max says softly, laying his head on GP’s shoulder.

Max is asleep before they are even out the door of his driver’s room, but that’s okay, GP has him.

ao3 is giving me issues so I am starting some posts here!! This is the first part of a series of art/edits I've been making for the Red Bull Turkey Dinosaurs AU by @33max!!! My username on ao3 is the same as here if you're interested (and feel free to drop any feedback or ideas hehe)

This is Mr Roar's Paddock Pass. It's a custom one that's shiny and orange, and it's extra special just like Mr Roar. It was first made for Maxy to have fun with when he is little at the track, but the pass is also extra important so that everyone knows all about Mr Roar and what to do in case he is ever left alone!

New Maxy gear!!! Sometimes Maxy likes to have friends on Air Max when they fly, so Max declares everyone joining him should have a special pass. Stuffies are very important flight companions, so it's very important that every passenger on Air Max gets a Furiend to fly with. (It's also a great excuse for Maxy to have more stuffies than Daniel would prefer on the plane.)

Maxy also loves meeting everyone else's stuffies and playing with them together. He has a whole Roardrobe (stuffie wardrobe) on the plane and lots of accessories for Spa Day.

The back of everyone's pass is how Maxy makes sure all of his Friends and Furiends have a great flight! He gives out the passes so everyone can read up on their travel buddy. Of course not all Furiends are available to guests--Mr Roar is only for Maxy and Baby Kitty can only be left with specific people and only *sometimes*.

Hope you enjoy <3<3xoxo

pictures of max today are soooo turkey dinosaurs maxy coded 🥹🥹 the one of him popping balloons while eating kinder.. if it was little maxy he’d pop a balloon on accident and cover his ears at the sound, but i know he’d love to munch on all those kinder bars. i want to hug him 😭

They were so little max coded!!! he looked so small and cutie munching on his kinder bars. I think he would have wanted to pop the balloon but perhaps didn't realise it would be that loud… 🥺 and it makes him jump! He scitters towards the couch and buries his face in GP’s lap to hide from the big loud!!!!

���Did that scare you, bud?” GP asks, stroking Max’s hair.

Nod.

“Do you want your headphones?”

Max has a pair of noise cancelling headphones he wears when he's getting a little overstimulated.

“Yes peas,” Max says, muffled in GP's clothes.

[33max]

amazing as always bean!!! omg all I could think about was maxy and gp like this when they were celebrating

thank you so much!!! me too 🥹 that's GP’s little guy!!

[unremarkableyaks]

Maxy also gets his very own schedules for Friday and Saturday. He doesn't need one for Sundays because he always goes into race day big and finishes little. The official schedule is obviously much more detailed, but the team started making cute schedules for Maxy, to help him know when he can be little and when he needs to be big throughout the day.

Maxy's choice means he gets to choose whether he is big or wants some little time, and the team is prepared with activities or meetings based on whatever Max chooses. Maxy also likes his schedules for when he knows he will need to be big--they allow him to be little without constantly worrying that he doesn't have time or needs to force himself to be big again because all the timings are worked in. And it helps relieve little Max's anxiety when he knows what to expect for the day, especially if it's something he isn't as used to like special treatment sessions with Rupert or Daniel having a conflict and staying late at the track.

'Roly says:' is where Daddy or the team can give Maxy little reminders. Roly is Brad's stuffie, and is responsible for keeping Max healthy and safe (basically the opposite of Soup). In Max's mind, Roly says the same things that Braddy says! It's customizable every day, so if Maxy is sore they can remind him to get help, or if Maxy needs to pay attention to a change that day, Roly can warn him!

[33max]

the way gp said "happy?" to max at the beginning of that video is so jeep and baby max making sure he's comfy and happy and entertained during boring team stuff and seat fits and everything

YES you’re so right 🥹

Often Max is with GP when he’s little at the factory. Max loves him, Daniel trusts him, and GP loves spending time with the little guy.

When they have an important meeting GP makes sure they get there not too early, but not too late. Max doesn’t like sitting around waiting and he definitely doesn’t like being rushed.

One particular meeting, GP carries Maxy into the room. He gets Max settled and comfortable in a chair. He hands him Mr Roar and a snack. He kisses his forehead. Then he takes a seat next to Max, not taking his eyes off the boy just yet.

It’s not until they’re both settled in their seats that GP realises the whole room is watching him.

“What?” He says.

Hannah, Pedals and Jonathon smile at him, but before they can answer…

“Jeep,” Max says, tugging on GP’s shirt. “My socks are uncomfy.”

[unremarkableyaks]

Pt 2 of Maxy & Mr Roar's Paddock Gear is their matching team kit!! As Chief Protection Officer for Maxy, Mr Roar is a very important part of the team, and Maxy wants to make sure everyone can recognize him as a member of RBR. Maxy enlisted his friends from Marketing to help him make a shirt that fits Mr Roar perfectly, and of course Maxy needs a matching custom shirt so that everyone knows Mr Roar belongs to him.

Mischievous Soup heard about Maxy's shirt design plans and felt a little left out, so he left some footprints on their shirts, and Marketing helped choose some leaves for Soup to eat on there too! Daddy said Soup can't come to the garage because he will disturb big Max, but he is still a part of the team because he helped with Maxy's extra special shirts.

I’m sure you’ve gotten this a million times already, but TD max with a sand car 😭 writing his name on it and messy play destroying it 🥹😈

I actually haven't! I don't get as many asks about TD anymore because it's been so long since I posted anything substantial in the universe and I also went through a stage where I struggled to answer asks because of work etc etc. so yeah! I always always always appreciate when I get a TD ask so please never think I've already received it or I have got too many 🥺♥️

ANYWAY YES OMG!!!!

Maybe Daniel has taken Maxy on holiday to a private beach - it is just them, the sand, and the sea. Perfect for Max to enjoy the holiday in his headspace! He gets to have bottles and snuggles on the sun loungers! And Daniel spends a long time making two F1 cars in the sand for he and max to ‘race’ in… and then at the end of the day Max gets to jump all over them both and destroy them before the sea washes them away!!! At first Max doesn’t want to break them, but of course Daniel promises they can rebuild them tomorrow.

OR OR OR in the Red Bull AU, maybe the team try to have a few activations throughout the year that Max can enjoy, and that make him ready to drop as soon as he's finished. So he plays with with the sandcastle while he's big and as the activation goes on he gets more and more fuzzy and then as soon as they've finished filming he runs over to GP because “Jeep I’ve got sand in my shoe help!!!!” and then GP has to spring into action and get those shoes off of Max before he has a melt down about it 😂

[33max]

Since we now have established that Christian likes to spoil Max, does it ever happen that Max is a bit cheeky and goes to Christian to ask for something on the rare occasion that Daniel tells him no? 😂

Oh absolutely 😂 it’s silly things too, like Daniel said Maxy can’t have ice cream for dinner… he needs to pick a proper dinner and then have ice cream for dessert.

Max is grumpy. He wants ice cream for dinner. Daddy isn’t being fair. So he stomps to Christian’s office.

As Maxy arrives Christian gets a text from Daniel that says Don’t let him have ice cream for dinner

And at the same time Maxy climbs into his lap and says “We get ice cream for dinner? Maxy and grandpa Christian?”

He’s incapable of saying no, Max gets the ice cream 😂♥️

[33max]

this made me think of turkey dinosaurs maxy :') going to work with daddy but getting distracted

https://www.tumblr.com/romeorosso/154126052791/via-gpupdatenet?source=share

(x) 🥹🥹🥹🥹 this is absolutely max in the red bull au

He is sitting next to daddy while daddy is in a meeting with uncle jeep and auntie hannah, but it is taking way too long and he starts fidgeting and getting restless! they give him a little model car to distract him and promise they will all go and get ice cream after 🥹

[33max]

red bull td au feeds my soul…any tidbits to share?

YES. I've been thinking about something this afternoon.

Max catches chicken pox.

He catches it from Hannah’s little daughter, who is off sick from school and Hannah’s husband drops by the factory with their little girl so they can give her mumma lunch. They end up bumping into Max, and taking a photo with him…

Nobody at the factory knew that Max hadn't had chicken pox before. Nearly everyone catches it as a child, they thought Max would have too.

Except he didn't.

He starts to feel sick a few days later, he's still in the factory doing a simulator day. But now he’s got a fever and a headache, and it causes him to drop. Unable to stay in a big headspace while he’s feeling so poorly.

Daniel isnt in Milton Keynes, he's in Faenza doing his own simulator days… so GP steps in to take care of the boy until Daniel can fly in.

Max is really tearful and irritable, nothing seems to be soothing him. GP has tried everything, he’s even put some paracetamol into a bottle for Max and tried to give him that. Max wouldn't even drink it.

It's only when Max starts squirming and itching, little angry red spots blistering on his usually milky skin, that GP realises it's chicken pox. Max has chicken pox. As an adult. He knows how bad that can be 😐♥️

[33max]

many thoughts about how they spelled max name out in kinder chocolates for his mini championship celebration

many MORE thoughts about TD maxy and how red bull would surprise him,, does big max also have a surprise for the little guy?? would they fly over daniel?? are there balloons?? (big max with the giant 4 balloon -> maxy with more balloons) i wonder whos attending,,,, the celebration must have went insane i hope they had fun

I think red bull might celebrate with maxy at the end of the season! They do it at the end of the season because after 24 races Max is getting more and more fatigued, and so is the little guy, so they give him a week or so to recover before they throw him a party!

The names of all of Maxy’s plushies are spelled out in happy hippo chocolates! There are many MANY balloons! There is a dinosaur bounce house that Maxy drags both Daddy and Jeep on! A ball pit with golden balls! And the whole team are there! Hannah has baked Max a big cake in the shape of a 4, and Max turns to Daddy (a little confused) and asks if its his birthday. Daddy says “No baby, you're not four today. But you do have four championships!”

Its lovely ♥️

[33max]

In the red bull turkey dinosaurs au, would other drivers also know about maxy too? (Like his teammates, close friends, ect?) This little spin off is so cute, I love it!

Teammates, yes! Close friends, maybe ones not on the grid! Like Martin and Rico! 🥹

The discord and I actually spoke about how Maxy gets a little stamp kit as a gift, and one weekend he takes it on himself to give anyone walking into the energy station a stamp on their hand which “admits them” into the building. Checo comes in one day and Max is like “no stamp for you” because he’s grumpy with him and he has an agenda… daddy to race next to Maxy! Luckily Checo, an experienced dad, just laughs it off and says “Are you daddy’s number one fan, Maxy?”

Daniel blushes so red watching this whole interaction.

Checo does get a stamp eventually 😂♥️

[33max]

so in light of the adrian announcement we NEED a deep dive of maxy and adrian lmao

I am no thoughts head empty at the minute 😔 but I do think that Maxy would be shielded from the news until Adrian can tell him himself. Max loves everyone in his RedBull family so much and Adrian tells him very very very gently that he won’t be around at the races anymore, because he needs to spend time with his dogs at home! He promises he will still visit Maxy so often🥺♥️
