can you do a smau if you want where the reader is a driver and makes music on the side (music like sza or Megan thee stallion and kaliii) and she makes a music video for area codes and all her other music and it has the drivers in it

𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 (𝐟𝟏) - 𝐲𝐧. 𝟎

summary: you make hit songs when you’re not driving a formula one car. your fellow drivers love to feature in your music videos. content warning: driver!reader makes music. toxic internet culture. profanity. hateful comments. attempt at humor. fluffy. light angst ig. there's no specific face claim, just pretty black women! ex-haas driver, current aston martin driver!reader. reader is american. seb retires in 2021, fernando is on the grid just not with aston martin. nikita mazepin mention lol. lando norris and george russell get bullied (humor). light british slander. no plot just vibes. pairing: platonic f1 grid x fem!black!driver!reader genre: smau.

from serene: i have a disease and it's called "being unable to make a normal length smau." it's a sickness, idk if i'll ever be abl to fulfill a request without the plot running away from me. anyways, enjoy loves xxx

yn ln signs multi-year contract with aston martin • espn f1 • 2021 post-season

ESPN F1 yn ln has signed a multi-year contract with Aston Martin! The American driver completes the team’s lineup with Lance Stroll. Even though she was an F4, F3, and GP3 Champion, and she won the F2 Championship on her first try with Prema; her F1 career began with unexpected opportunities and last-minute substitutions—becoming a reserve driver for Haas and filling in for Romain Grosjean after his accident in 2020, and then replacing Nikita Mazepin halfway through the 2021 F1 season—an official seat of her own in Formula One was a long time coming and well deserved. Congratulations to yn ln, the first Black woman to race in Formula One!

yn0: i have always believed that being an f1 driver would become my reality. it was a never a dream to me because i KNEW i was going to make it here. i’m incredibly thankful to haas for giving my first chance to race in the big league and i will miss all the incredible people who helped me grow and improve while i was there. however, i am extremely grateful and excited to have a seat of my own at aston martin in 2022 and onward. some critics have called me "conceited" to bet on myself, so i made a song just for them < 3

user32: just because lily was in the video and yn made the focus of the song about her doesn't mean that the orginal song is okay? it's not like she stopped singing about being a side chick.

➥ user33: no, it literally IS okay. because lily and alex both said they made the song with her and were happy to be in the video 🙂

➥ user34: i don't know, lily agreeing to the video makes me dislike her

danicapatrick: “This past weekend the Aston Martin F1 crew celebrated yn’s P5 finish track side and, honestly, that was unnecessary. It’s not like she managed to reach the podium and personally, I feel like she doesn’t take F1 seriously. I mean, it seems like she spends more time making explicit songs than she does preparing for a race weekend. Her little songs are a distraction to the men on the grid and she appears as a promiscuous, immature, and unfocused girl. She’s not the formula one standard, in my opinion.”

Love your writingg!!

Could you write a oneshot with ollie when reader couldn't make it to a race and she got sick while at home but didnt tell ollie cuz it couldve made him shit the race and he comes back home at takes care of herr??

+hiii!! idk if ure still taking request, but maybe an ollie x reader where she gets her wisdom tooth out and the aftermath is just her being chaotic and funny while ollie just goes with everything.

but yeah, i think it’s pretty cute. thank you!

Boyfriend Of The Year (Ollie Bearman X Reader)

Fandom: RPF/F2/F3

Requested: Clearly (I just did a sick fic, so i decided to incorporate these. Hope yall don't mind <3)

Warnings: Wisdom teeth surgery and recovery

POV: Majority Second Person (You/your), some Third Person (They/them)

W.C. 2301

Summary: A routine dentist appointment turns into a secret to keep Ollie sane.

As always, my requests are OPEN

MASTERLIST // HITLIST

~~(^Pinterest)

Your phone was blowing up with texts from Ollie. He was probably wondering where you were at this point since you promised to be at the qualifying session, but due to a dentist appointment scheduled between the sessions, you had to split up. Ollie and his dad drove together, and you took an uber to your appointment. Well, at that dentist appointment, you found out that your chronic jaw pain was actually your wisdom teeth getting dangerous. They were growing inwards and pressing your teeth, so your dentist strongly encouraged an emergency wisdom teeth removal for the same day. Ollie was going to be pissed and you knew it.

“Hey, CareBear,” You greeted in a fake tone. You were still at the dentist, but you stepped outside to get a little bit of privacy. “What’s up?”

“Don’t ‘Hey CareBear’ me! Where are you? You said you were gonna be here,” Ollie asked. He was finally able to let out a breath after running around the paddock trying to find where you were. When he couldn’t find you, he started asking around, but no one had seen you. Then, he started calling you, and coincidentally, the calls were during your x-rays or consultation, so you were not answering. It was driving him insane. “Are you almost here?” 

“The dentist was short-staffed, so they haven't gotten me in yet,” You came up with on the fly. You knew he would hate that you lied to him, but he would also throw his entire race weekend away for you. Yes, it was adorable and it’s part of what made you love him, but this was not the time to be a loving boyfriend. This was the time to show everyone why he deserved the Haas seat. He could be boyfriend of the year afterward. “I can text you when I’m done, but I need to see them today. You know how bad my jaw has been hurting lately.”

“Oh?” Ollie smirked as he lowered his voice, about to make a joke but his dad walked right past him.

“Don’t even start, Oliver,” You pressed as you saw your dentist gesturing for you to come back in, so they could prepare you for the surgery. “Listen, CareBear, I gotta go. I think they’re ready to take me back. I’ll text your dad to pick me up when we start wrapping up. You need to get back for debrief or start preparing for quali.”

“Yeah, I should probably eat something,” Ollie said to himself as he scratched the back of his neck. He had never had to go into qualifying without you, so he was a bit nervous. However, he totally understood that this was something you needed to do. “I’ll get on pole for you.”

“I expect you in the top 22, nothing less,” You joked as you both said goodbye and hung up the call. You headed back inside as they started giving you the rundown on how the surgery would occur. For once, you were thankful for scheduling your appointment in the morning and not eating beforehand. Just before they would put you under, you decided to call Ollie’s dad. It didn’t take long for him to answer.

“Hey, Y/n,” David greeted immediately as he walked toward the back of the garage, “Need me to pick you up? That was awfully quick.”

“Actually no,” You chuckled nervously. “Don’t tell Ollie until after quali, but I’m getting my wisdom teeth out right now. If we tell him, he’s going to freak out.”

“Was this the plan the whole time?” He asked, quieting down as Ollie walked by nonethewiser. He was finishing up before he would be getting in the car, so he had enough on his plate, in your opinion.

“No, I just found out that the jaw pain I thought was the start of TMJ was actually my wisdom teeth growing inwards,” You explained with a smile as you watched your dentist finish setting everything out. “Listen, David, I’ll need you to pick me up in like an hour. Maybe after qualifying break it to him? Or just let him figure it out when I’m loopy. I really don’t care.”

“I’ll take care of him, don’t worry,” David reassured as he saw Ollie gesturing for him to come over before he would get in the car. “Have them call me when you’re done, and we’ll pick you up.”

You thanked him before ending the call and heading into the back where the operation would take place. 

The qualifying session went by quickly for Ollie because it was basically a one-lap shot. Right after the first laps, it started pouring rain, so when Ollie was at the top of the timing page, no one was able to beat him. He tried to call you as soon as he got out of the car, but every call went straight to voicemail. It freaked him out a little, but he brushed it off, thinking you were still getting your cleaning. It wasn’t until his dad was ushering him to change and get to the car park almost as soon as he wrapped up media that he started thinking something was wrong. Ollie sat nervously in the passenger seat as his dad drove in silence, which was completely unusual for him, so he decided to try and break the tension.

“So, dad,” He dragged out as he looked over at his dad. They pulled up to a red light, and David looked at Ollie. “Where are we going?”

“The dentist,” David said simply as he moved the car into first gear when the light changed. “We need to pick Y/n up.”

“Shouldn’t they have finished up during quali?” Ollie asked before muttering to himself, “I thought they would have been in the garage by the end of media.”

“They had to get some work done,” David responded. It was light-hearted, so Ollie wasn’t too worried. When they pulled up, he parked the car but made no move to get out for a second, causing Ollie to look over confused. “They had to get their wisdom teeth out.”

“What? Why didn’t you tell me?” Ollie freaked out, immediately getting out of the car and trying to reach the front door before his dad. Unfortunately for him, his dad anticipated this and beat him to the punch by blocking the door. “Dad, let me in.”

“No, you need to understand why we didn’t tell you,” David pressed as he put a hand on Ollie's shoulder and sheered him back toward the car. “They didn’t want you to be nervous in qualifying. It’s getting to the end of your season, and next year, you’ll be in F1. Everyone’s eyes are on you, and the last thing they wanted was for you to get nervous and risk your position in the championship.”

“That makes no sense! I wouldn’t have thrown the session!” Ollie disputed as he threw his hands up.

“Oh, please,” David tsked, “You almost crashed the car when you found out they had a headache a few months ago. Of course, you wouldn’t completely compromise your qualifying session knowing they were getting surgery. That sounds totally believable to me.” 

“Maybe you have a point,” Ollie mumbled as he dripped his hands to his sides in defeat. He looked back over to his dad as he sighed, “Can we go in now?”

“Are you going to cause a scene?”

“No.”

POV Switch-Third POV

All the while, Y/n was just waking up. The team had wrapped up the surgery at the end of qualifying and called David, saying he didn’t need to rush since they still needed to ween Y/n off of the meds and they still needed to pass the memory tests.

Y/n didn’t remember even waking up, but they did semi-register people walking in, around, and out of their room. Most of them were dentists or nurses checking their vitals, but then two people walked in that didn’t look like a dentist or nurse. It was Ollie and David, but Y/n was still too out of it to recognize them (or what they were saying to be honest).

“So they’ll be a little loopy for a while,” one of the dentists said to David, causing him to nod. Ollie had already taken a seat beside you and was holding your hand. The dentist then took David out of the room to talk about how to help clean the wounds and give him a list of foods that Y/n could eat while recovering. Ollie wanted to say something, anything to Y/n but they ended up talking before him.

“Whoever is your significant other is lucky because damn you’re hot,” Y/n chuckled slightly as they fell back against the pillows and smiled sleepily as they looked at him. “They’re like really lucky.”

“Well, you’ll be happy to know that you’re my significant other,” Ollie chuckled with them as he brought their hands up to kiss their knuckles.

“No way!” Y/n said as loud as the gauze in their mouth could allow as their eyes almost fell out of their head. “You’re telling me I bagged you?!”

“You bagged me,” Ollie chuckled in disbelief. He was upset at first that Y/n didn’t tell him sooner, but he couldn’t find it in himself to be mad at them, especially when they said something like that. “If I tell you a word, can you remember it for me?”

“Anything for you, handsome,” Y/n shamelessly flirted as they leaned in a little closer to prop their head against Ollie’s free hand that was resting by their head. 

“The word is ‘pole’,” Ollie said, and Y/n repeated it a couple of times before nodding that they understood it. “Okay, how are you feeling now?”

“I’m feeling tired. I wanna sleep. I wanna eat. I’m hungry. I want someone to tell me what place Ollie is in for the race tomorrow,” Y/n ranted before gasping toward the end, remembering the qualifying session they missed. In the haze, Y/n’s brain never connected that Ollie was sitting in front of them as they went on a rant. “Ollie Bearman is my favorite driver, and I wanna know where he placed. Do you know Ollie?”

“I know of him, yeah,” Ollie said as he bit back a laugh. There was no way he was witnessing this. “I think I know where he placed.”

“Where?” Y/n gasped as they tried to sit up in the bed, but the vitals machine started going off, causing a few personnel to walk in, but Ollie was already pushing them back.

“What was the word from earlier?”

“Pole?” Y/n said confused before it finally connected, “Wait, pole position?”

“Yup, he’s on pole for the feature race,” Ollie smiled at their enthusiasm. “Now, what’s my name?”

“What’s your name? CareBear?”

“Well, yes, but what’s my real name?” 

“Oliver,” Y/n dragged out before the fog cleared enough for them to make the connection. “Wait! Ollie, my CareBear! You’re Ollie!”

“I am,” Ollie chuckled as he leaned over to place a kiss on Y/n’s forehead while the dentists started removing wires and needles from Y/n, so they could leave. Ollie wrapped an arm around their shoulder, knowing Y/n didn’t like needles. He took to whispering reassurance in their ear until they were cleared to leave. Ollie then asked, “You still sleepy?”

Y/n didn’t respond as they were already asleep, so when all of the paperwork was signed, Ollie picked Y/n up to carry them to the car.  The entire ride to the hotel, Y/n was asleep against Ollie’s shoulder until David pulled into the parking spot. That’s when Y/n woke up, stretching their arms above their head.

“I still wanna sleep,” Y/n whined as they leaned back against Ollie. “My legs feel like jelly.”

“I can always carry you again,” Ollie commented already getting out of the car and moving around to help Y/n out. As soon as Y/n stepped out, Ollie’s arm was lifting up their legs to carry them up to their room. Thankfully, David was already leading the way and opening doors for them.

“You’re really working for that Boyfriend Of The Year award, aren't you?” Y/n teased as they plopped their head against Ollie’s shoulder.

“I didn’t know I was in the running,” Ollie joked back as he left a kiss on their nose.

“You’re always in the running,” Y/n pouted before going on another tangent, “Y’know, I’d love to kiss you, but I can’t really feel my lips so I don’t know how that would go.”

“I’ll give you a kiss when you don’t have bloody gauze in your mouth,” Ollie said as he walked up to the door. “Does that sound like a deal?”

“Add some ice cream or smoothies and you’ve got a deal.”

“You can’t drink from a straw, so no smoothies.”

“Buzzkill.”

“Not a buzzkill,” Ollie said simply as he set Y/n down on the bathroom counter, so he could change their gauze. “We’re not risking you getting dry socket.”

“Kissass.”

“How does that make me a kissass?” Ollie chuckled as he helped Y/n down from the counter and to the bed. Ollie fixed the pillows around them to make them comfortable before grabbing an icepack from the freezer. 

“You know the judge of the Boyfriend Of The Year award, and you’re kissing their ass,” Y/n chuckled as they leaned back into the pillows and took the icepacks from Ollie, immediately pressing them against their face. “Let me say, you’re winning.”

“I would hope so,” Ollie retorted, “I should be the only one in the running!”

y/n.verstappen: Danny, you’ve known me ever since I was a little kid, you were there at my first race in F4/F3/F2, when I won my F2 championship, when I got a seat in formula 1, my first points, my first win and many more moments.

What is the best one of all? When we became teammates, I don’t think I have had that much fun, laughed so much, loved the battles we had on track, the shoey you made me do after my first win and just the overall joy of being your teammate. I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for me and everything you helped me through.

You always brought a big smile, laughs and positivity to everyone. Formula 1 is going to be weird without you here, you’ll be missed by everyone (especially me). I love you like an older brother, keep your head up, you know I’ll always be here for you, until next time❤️

Little Lion

Ace Giovanelli Universe

a/n: the devil works hard but I work harder, enjoy! 🤭

warnings: talks of pregnancy,

Summary: Ace is one of Max’s best friends, because of that, it only makes sense she would be one of the first to know….

Disclaimer: so you don’t get confused with an upcoming post, this is not public information to the fans, this is purely a look into Ace’s life until said post.

Las Vegas

Ace was walking through the media pen when she saw Max for the first time that night. She ran up to him and he saw her out of the corner of his eyes and turned just intime to catch her in the jump hug. “World champion!” She laughed, hugging him tightly. “Hello leeuw.” He laughed. “I’m so proud of you. But we’re coming for you next year.” She said when he dropped her down. He took her arm pulling her away from the mics much like he did Lando.

“Just like I told Lando, your time will come. I know you have it in you. You just have to be patient.” He told her. “If I’m anything like my inspiration then it’ll be soon won’t it.” She said truthfully. He hugged her again. “I don’t call you little lion for nothing.” He said. “We’ll celebrate properly in Abu Dhabi. There are a couple things we’ll celebrate.” Ace laughed knowing the two of them would find a way to celebrate anything with a glass in their hand.

acegiovanelli to my best friend and mentor, 4 time world champion Max fucking Verstappen. I saw you for the first time in 2016 when I first got into Formula 4. I was invited to the Spanish GP where you got your first win in F1. Since that very moment I looked up to you. I went through that F4 season saying one day I would ace alongside you. I spent a few years in Renault Cup struggling to get any higher due to who I was, a woman. You vouched for me to get put into F3 as a Red Bull Junior driver, and we all know what happened there. Through that championship, and my F2 championship, you’ve always supported me, you watched all my races, and always told me one day I would be on the grid with you. 

Our relationship went from friends to siblings when I became your reserve driver in 2022, and if the season before proved to be anything, I knew I was just a professional seat warmer. Despite not getting to drive in the same team with you, these past two years driving besides you and battling you has been a dream come true. Yes, you fought against my boyfriend and teammate for this, but you truly deserve this fourth title. I’m honoured to be your little lion, I love you and I’m coming for you next season.

(you also introduced me to one of my best girlfriends and if you hurt her i’ll run you into the Monaco harbor 😊)

acegiovanelli i love you so much

maxverstappen1 AJ, you’re going to make me emotional here 😅. I’m so proud of everything you’ve achieved, and it’s been incredible watching you grow into the driver and person you are today. From F4 to F2 to battling me wheel-to-wheel in F1—it’s been an honour to be part of your journey. You’ve never been just a “seat warmer.” You’re a fighter, and you’ve earned your place on this grid through sheer talent and determination. Seeing you rise despite the obstacles I'll never have to face or understand has been inspiring, and I’m proud to call you my little lion. Thank you for this post, I love you. But don’t think I’m going to make it easy for you next season—I’ll be ready. 😉

Qatar Monday Afternoon

🦁: Hey little lion, Kelly is in town this week and we’re going to dinner Wednesday night. Would you be able to join us?

Ace: I’m more than aware my bestfriend is in town thank you! And I would love to! Are you still here?

🦁: Yes we leave tonight, couldn’t make it out any earlier. And i will take back my invite little one

Ace: you wouldn’t dare and i don’t even want to know how much longer you were out after we left

🦁: i couldn’t even tell you if i tried

Ace: max! 😂

🦁: 🤷🏼‍♂️

Qatar: Wednesday night

“You look very nice.” Lando said, coming up behind her in the hotel bathroom. She had a simple dress on, finding one last minute here in Qatar. “Thank you amour.” She kissed his cheek. “I’m gonna stream with Max while you're gone if you need me at any moment you call me.” He informed.

“I know, baby. I love you.” She kissed his lips before slipping out of the bathroom to put her heels on. “Cars here baby.” Lando told her looking at his phone. “Mon Dieu, okay.” She said grabbing her purse and looking at herself in the mirror again.

“You look great, go.” Lando kissed her lips with a light slap to her bottom. “I’ll bring you food back.” She said kissing him once again, a little longer than needed, before heading out.

She happened to get there at the same time as Max and his family pulled up as well. “Mon ange!” She chuckled seeing Max and Kelly hand in hand and going over to the woman. “How I’ve missed you.” She hugged her after a french greeting. “I missed you too. We’re so happy you could make it.”

She pulled away from Kelly and did the same thing to Max. “Safe travels?” He asked. “Of course. Hangover?”

“Of course.” He replied, making the two women laugh. “Alright, let’s go inside, I'm starving.” He said shortly after and he held the door open for the girls who joined hands ahead of him. They sat down somewhere very private and got some non-alcoholic drinks as it was a race weekend. 

Ace and Kelly talked through the majority of dinner with Max’s input every so often. It wasn’t until they were waiting on dessert did Ace say something. “Not that I don’t love spending time with you two, but why have you invited just me to dinner?” She asked, looking at the couple.

“We wondered when you were going to ask.” Max chuckled as Kelly grabbed a small box from her purse and handed it to her. “My birthday is next week.” She said hesitantly, not opening the box. “We know that, stupid. Just open the box.”

“Max, don’t call her stupid.” Kelly scolded, making Ace stick her tongue out at him. “Just open the box.” He said excitedly. Ace undid the bow and lifted the top off. She peeked inside and gasped, tears forming in her eyes. 

“I- you’re-” but nothing was coming out as she looked back down at the ultrasound. “That is your god-baby.” Max said softly holding onto Kelly’s belly. At those words Ace chuckled through a sob softly. “I- I’m so happy for you both, what the fuck.” The couple laughed as she slid the remainder of the booth to hug Kelly.

“You’re a maman again.” She whispered to Kelly. “Holy shit you’re a dad.” Ace gasped, pulling away from Kelly quickly. “Yeah I’m still here.” He said standing up as Ace slid out of the booth to hug him tightly. 

She was still crying and Max used his thumbs to pat away her tears. “If you keep crying I’m going to start, and I don’t want to.” He said, his eyes getting glassy. “Désolé. But mon Dieu, I'm so happy right now.” She said and they all chuckled. “You are P’s favourite, you treat her so well. Max and I love and adore you, and we want you to be a significant part in our baby’s life just as you are to us.” Ace hid her face in her hands at Kelly’s words. 

“I love you guys.” Ace said calming down again. “We love you little lion.” Max said, grabbing her hand over the table. “I think you’re next.” Kelly said teasingly, making Max gag. “Moving too fast, liefje." Ace laughed at Max. “Okay papa bear.” She joked and then realised the pun. “Hey!” She pointed, making the couple laugh at her.

“A little Verstappen- Piquet waddling around the paddock. Going to turn them papaya.” Ace smiled mischievously, making Max point a finger at her while Kelly just shook her head,”

“Don’t you dare!”

[maxillness]

Hi I don't know if you're taking requests but I have this idea in my head for a while and I was wondering if you could do a Mark Webber x reader imagine/mini series where the reader is Oscar Piastri's older sister by a few year and is a driver for McLaren already in formula 1 after winning the f3 and f2 championships in her first year of being there and Sebastian Vettel is her mentor and manager and while Oscar is in Alpine he gets a contract with McLaren and as a result replacing his sister and also gets approached Sebastian where he asks Oscar if he wants him to be his manager (replacing Mark Webber). Then after a race (where she obviously gets P1) towards the end of the press conference with Lewis, Fernando, Max and Daniel she gets asked about McLaren signing Oscar with Sebastian Vettel as his manager and she's like "what do you mean" so Lewis shows her the tweets on his phone so she tells the interviewer something like "I didn't know about this change but if this is what they believe is best for the team then there's nothing I can do but continue the rest of the season and proving to other teams I deserve a seat next year" and everyone is confused and can tell this is hurting her despite putting on a brave face because she is clearly the better driver (like Senna or Schumacher), shortly after the conference ended she is approached by Mark Webber where they comfort each other and he becomes her manager then the season ends and it's revealed that she has a seat with Red Bull next year and part way through that season she the Australian GP (I know its not the last race but for the sake of the story it is) and overtakes Max in the championship and after they go out with the team Mark takes her home and she's like "it feels like you are one of the only constant things in my life that haven't left me for my brother." where they both confess their feelings with smut (if you're comfortable writing that) and the season ends with her winning the championship where there relationship comes out and everyone is very supportive and staying reader with Red Bull. But yeah overall really angsty between reader Oscar and Sebastian, sorry that is a lot and it's okay if you can't do it.

GURL 🫶😭 I LOVE YOU! THIS IS THE BEST REQUEST I’VE EVER SEEN. THANK YOU SO MUCH

I don’t know if I’ll turn it into a series or do a oneshot, and I don’t know when I’ll get around to it as I’m already writing two WIP’s and I’ve planned out fica up to August, but I’ll do my best. Again, thank you sm 🫶😭

[mcgnussen]

NOTES FROM THE PODCAST ‘F1: BEYOND THE GRID’ EPISODE WITH KEVIN

1. the story and feelings about his comeback

kevin, as everyone else, did not even think himself as an option to replace m*zepin. despite reading that m*zepin had lost his drive, he did not contact guenther or anyone else at haas to say he was interested - even when people from the paddock started messaging him and asking him if he was coming back.   

kevin confirmed that he understood the team’s decision in 2020 and that he was told that it was purely a financial decision. he did not take it personally and left the team on good terms with everyone in haas. he also mentions that he was treated very well in the team throughout the years, he even calls the haas team his home in f1.   

k-mag did say yes immediately to guenther, but told him that he had things he needed to sort out before the contract could be signed. the first thing kevin did was call louise, his wife, and despite her feeling worried about how much he would be away, she said he had to do it. it was very important to him that his wife was on board since he’s a dad and husband now and not just a racing driver.

2. talking about his family

kevin talked a lot about his daughter, laura, generally. but he talked about how sad he had felt that f1 and his daughter never overlapped since she was born january 2021 and he believed that 2020 was his last season. he talked about getting emotional seeing his daughter in the back of the garage in the mirror during his seat fitting. then she really wanted to get in the car with him, so she got in and pressed all the buttons on his steering wheel.  

he is really happy that he got last year “off” as he calls it since he was able to spend a lot of time with laura and he says that he would not have traded it for anything. so the timing of losing his seat and then getting it back was actually perfect.     

because his dad is not as busy anymore with racing, kevin believes that he will come to quite a lot of races. he said jan was very excited when he heard about kevin’s f1 return and is watching every session now that he has the opportunity.  

3. talking about the car and his fitness level

he quickly got a good feeling about the car, it was predictable and easy to drive and definitely fast. he is glad that with his neck that he’s not in one of the old cars, saying this one is slower in the corners. he confirmed the 2022 cars require a slightly different driving style, but he is totally okay with that and that it is not a big change.  

kevin believes that it will take him two more months of daily training to be where he should be physically. he did work out last year, but a lot less than when he was a f1 driver. he said that fitness is important in all racing and that it gives you those extra percent. but that driving sport cars and training a little less made him lose his strong neck quickly.  

during qualification in saudi arabia, a nerve in kevin’s neck started to spasm and he physically could not hold his head up, it was just flapping around and it was very painful. he believes they could have started p5 if his neck had been stronger, which he believes would also have meant a better race result. 

4. on the team and mick schumacher 

kevin really likes mick. he says he is a super nice guy and down to earth, very polite and liked by everyone. kevin appreciates that mick is open and honest and not too proud to ask questions. he thinks that mick really deserves his place in f1 even if his last name had not been schumacher, and that mick has done more than enough to prove he belongs in f1 by winning both f2 and f3.   

he is aware that he is seen as the team leader, but he says that he doesn’t really see himself as that. he just wants to do his best for the team and doesn’t expect any special treatment just because he is the most experienced of the two drivers. kevin also points out that mick is intelligent, so his feedback is good and the team also listen to mick, of course.   

he is very open with mick and doesn’t hold anything back, which is the first time kevin has felt comfortable being 100% honest with his teammate. he sees it as a case where if he helps out mick, he helps the team, and that’s good for kevin too. and if his help does give mick what he needs to pass k-mag then kevin can learn from him and raise his own level.

5. on his personal growth

he feels as if his year away were actually ten years and then when he got back in the car, it felt like he had not really been away. he contributes a lot of his growth to everything that has happened outside the track. after becoming a father, his family is now the most important thing in his life. he admits that before his happiness was determined by how well he was doing in f1, but now that is not the case.  

kevin believes that losing his seat in f1 was good for him, he survived walking away from f1 despite the fact that it had been the most important thing in his life for so long, and now he sees everything as a bonus, which means he can enjoy himself more as he is not scared of not being in f1 anymore. during the year away, he was able to look back at his time in f1 and be grateful rather than sad of not driving a f1 car anymore. and he got a new appreciation for the sport watching it as a fan and not experiencing it as a driver.  

6. talking about IMSA and driving alongside his dad

one of his dreams was also to drive the iconic tracks his dad has driven like daytona, so he is happy that he got that experience. he also says that it meant he and his dad, jan magnussen, could talk about racing in a different way and that he could actually give kevin technical advice.    

he also talked about how much a privilege it was to drive le mans with his dad and how crazy a place it was to have a father-son weekend. kevin also talked about how interesting it was to see a new side to jan because kevin knows him so well as his dad, but he got to see him as a racing driver and how fun it was to see all the data and compare and be racing nerds together.  

7. on the future 

kevin is dreaming about a podium but does not expect it since haas does not got the pace to beat the three big teams on pace alone, but if haas can be best of the rest then he says it as a possibility and admits he is thinking about it quite a lot.  

he came to peace with the fact he was not going be a f1 wdc ever last year, but it is still his biggest dream, the ultimate goal, and he is excited for it to be a somewhat realistic dream again.   

[forelsketparadise]

Jamie right now has 25 points in her super license enough to drive a practice session. Are you listening wiliams?? 👀

If she wins W series again this year. It would give her 15 more points taking her total to 40 points that you need to become a F1 driver.

Which in turn puts her in contention for seats in 2023/24.

Though it would have been better if she would have gotten a seat in F3 this year. A two time W Series champion deserves that.

If she would have gotten that one seat she won't have had to return to W Series and could have left like she wanted to last year.

Well she's gotta do what she gotta do for her career I suppose.

Can't even expect FIA to reserve one seat for women drivers in F3 and F2.

Update- Next mind I have been told she won't get licence points from W Series. I still want to see her driving for Williams in a practice session still.

[fcb-mv33]

For a bit of fun as I’ve seen a few people do this and I’m not sure if you have: if you could rebuild the grid (the teams and TPs are the same), who would be part of the grid and what team would you put them on? You can pick from current f1 drivers, f2 or f3 drivers, and the w series cause we’re inclusive ☺️ I’m curious to see who remains from the current grid 👀

Okay I won’t lie I needed help with this one (shoutout once again to Sophie and Denise🥰) cause I don’t watch much W Series but this was so fun🧡🧡

Red Bull- Max and Checo

I genuinely would not take any other driver with Max which may be unpopular with some fans but I cannot see any other driver who could help and be in that supporting role like Checo does.

Mercedes- Logan Sargeant and George

Young blood and good vibes at Merc would be fun to see

McLaren- Lando and Arthur Leclerc

Lando (ofc) and Arthur would be pure fucking chaos but both are good drivers and could be a great pair.

Ferrari- Charles and Carlos

Great partnership, which vibes and like Checo I don’t think there’s anyone else to pop in that second seat like Carlos.

Alpha Tauri- Yuki and Juri

Just chaos and vibes, both could be in that top team alongside Max in the future.

Aston Martin- Oscar Piastri and Marcus Armstrong

Both deserve a first team drive istg and I think it would be good for the team.

Alpine- Ocon and Pierre

Drama bestie plus I don’t want him back at Red Bull.

Williams- Alex and Jamie Chadwick

She deserves a good drive and Williams would be a good plus with Alex, they would be good.

Haas- Kevin and Mick

Iconic love them.

Alfa Romeo- Bottas and Beitske Visser

Another Dutch driver…plus Bottas is seriously vibing.

(If anyone has any different pairing send them in🧡🥰)

[f1-unpopularopinions]

Jamie doesn't deserve an F1 seat right now. But she surely deserves an F3 or F2 seat

Send us your unpopular F1 opinions!

[kyogos]

Maybe Jamie Chadwick, if it's not exclusively f1 drivers 💞🙏

I adore Jamie so much, she’s so talented and genuine

She’s fast, aggressive but the right side of reckless. I hand on heart believe she deserves a seat in a main/top series. I’m not gonna say F1 (although I would sell my right arm for her to be in F1) purely because I think she’d benefit from junior series first. I’d love to see her in Formula E, I think the style of racing would suit her (gritty and tough, not a glorified parade). She’s criminally underrated imo

I’d like her to get a full F3 drive next season, maybe F2 (ngl I cannot remember how licences work). I just want to see her thrive because I know she’s capable of being one of the best 

I know this is short compared to others but if you’ve never seen her race, do watch some of the W Series races. I love Jamie and I would do anything for her

Ep. #14 - “It’s raining. How appropriate.” (Collin)

hello again nerds!! this transition from final 6 to final 5 is a strange one but i think im getting to be positioned in a very good spot, but unfortunately im somewhat in the middle of the sides. picking which side to go with was difficult but i think it makes so much more sense to stick with eric and julian because i've been working with them for much longer and want to stay loyal <3 i feel SO bad bc Isabelle has been such a sweet pal to have in the game but i think she is the top contender to win the game at this time. im hoping that eric and julian and myself can maneuver ourselves into the final 3 and then i can win the final immunity! ttyl :))

It's f5 and I'm starting to think my game is so successfully under the radar that I'm not even considered under the radar. I have f2 deals with Abby and Julian, f3 deals with Abby & Julian and Abby & Collin, and potentially another f3 with Julian and Benji. I don't think anyone expects anything from me but I've been super super middle and it's clear I've made connections that could keep me safe all the way to f3 and maybe even to the final 2. For now though, I'm really hoping to win the duolingo immunity challenge to guarantee my spot in the f4 so I have a seat of power.

Benji idoled out 2-0

https://youtu.be/Gr818c1wMbs

--- https://youtu.be/DoQQayS36tI i told benji as soon as he got to ponderosa about the zach-abby sibling connection, and shit immediately hit the fan. all i gotta say is my villian legacy lives on.

--- https://youtu.be/MkMfGNnr8yo

voting for abrielle was definitely the dumbest move I've made in my org career. Benji played me only to quit the jury right after. More so than making the move, I'm just offended at myself for being naive enough to believe someone who from my perspective with everything ive seen in the past dayish has no respect for the game to stick around for a week or so to vote someone to win (regardless if I'm sitting at f2 or not). at least julian didn't flip so we're both in this together and can hopefully tie it up. we both know collin and abby are the bigger threats to win especially since they had potentially locked jury votes before f5 tribal even happened while Julian and myself are probably not so liked by the jury. right now im just debating with myself whether I really deserve to be in the position I'm in. it's a rough battle because this game has been so mentally exhausting. This cast was far more than I could handle in a quarantine setting and I can't wait for this all to be something of the past.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay i didnt go home 

--- SOOOOO ur girl had a successful idol play at the final 5 immunity and did what she came here to do!! to recap, the entire round benji was really pushin me and collin to vote with him against julian and made me feel so guilty bc i loved working with him but knew i had to stay loyal to eric/julian. collin had said he would prefer to just lie to benji and say we were going to vote julian so benji wouldnt get upset but it made me feel so guilty that i told him during tribal (he was very very very mad at me oop!) i almost didnt play my idol bc i didnt want to make my allies feel bad but i did anyway bc i couldnt waste the chance to redeem myself and use something i worked so hard to get. and that went GREAT bc my two closest allies flipped on me and decided to vote me out, very very bittersweet. overall the day as a whole and the tribal were so overwhelming, and its at the point where the game is hitting me hard. fast foward back to today where im about to play the f4 immunity and i am SHAKING i am so scared, because if i dont win i know my name could be written down at tribal and i could lose my chance to win when im so close to the end. but im thinking happy thoughts and manifesting a win, a hail mary, or anything that could get me a little bit closer to the end. fingers crossed as usual!

A 2-2 vote between Eric and Collin resulted in a tiebreaker challenge. Collin won, making Eric the 8th member of the jury.

Deserve the World (Arvid Lindblad X Fem VCARB! Reader)

Fandom: RPF/F2/F3

Requested: Clearly (I LOVE THIS <3)

Warnings: Aged up Arvid, sexist comments, hateful fans

POV: Second Person (You/your/She/her)

W.C. 1227

Summary: The fans and reporters are brutal when a female joins the grid.

As always, my requests are OPEN

MASTERLIST // HITLIST

~~(^Pinterest)

Red Bull was known to be ruthless, and they rarely moved up their junior drivers. That did not stop you from joining their junior program. You loved the team, the benefits, and the knowledge you could learn from them.

Well, when the news hit that Red Bull was promoting not one but two junior drivers to VCARB for the 2026 season, shit hit the fan. Then, when people realized that one of those drivers was a girl, shit really came crashing down.

You knew this would happen. It happened when you first joined Hitech in F2, and you expected it when you eventually moved up to F1. Most of the haters dwindled down when you and Arvid pulled a 2021 like season in F2 since it kept everyone interested, but ultimately, they came flooding back when you won by a singular point. You had grown since the start of the season, so you took their criticism with a grain of salt and moved on.

At least you did on the outside.

Sometimes, you couldn’t stop yourself from falling down the rabbit hole that is Twitter (X) and Instagram comments. You would rather know everything they said than work yourself up over what they could be saying. Call it one of your red flags, but you did not want to remain unaware of their backlash.

Arvid had caught you in that rabbit hole on more occasions than he wanted to admit, and yeah, he got his fair share of hate. His was nowhere near the amount you got. He tried convincing you to get someone else to manage your social media accounts, but you always declined. Who else would post the not-so professional pictures you take during the weekend? Certainly not a professional staff who is in charge of making you look professional. 

The first race of the season was already off to a shitty start. You were a few minutes late to the media pin, and everyone started speculating that you were sleeping with Red Bull or VCARB staff for your seat. In reality, you were meeting with the staff to discuss how to go about addressing the hate.

You tried to clear it up with the first interviewer, but he was one of the haters. He immediately started poking at how there’s no way a girl like you could get a seat based on pure talent on track. When you asked what he meant by that, he chuckled and said, “Clearly, you have talents behind closed doors.”

That was the straw that broke the camel’s back as you immediately turned and left the pin, trying to get back to your garage before you had a full breakdown. You heard the main reporter and a few nearby interviewers laugh as you made your hasty exit, and that made the situation worse as nearby fans heard the commotion and pulled out their phones. The way the pitlane was set up, you had to walk past all of the fans to get back to your garage. Just the thought made your heart rate quicken if that was even possible. 

It did not take long for Arvid to notice your lack of presence next to him or in the media pin at all. Usually, you two stuck together since you were on the same team, but you both also found comfort in being next to each other. Many people thought it would have caused a rift in your relationship competing against each other but given that you were together for almost a year before you started your F2 campaigns, you were up for the challenge. Plus, you were naturally competitive to begin with, so it made your bond stronger. 

He looked around for you, confused, before he briefly spotted your back retreating out the back of the pin. He gently excused himself, but even the interviewer could tell Arvid’s attention was elsewhere. It looked like Arvid was on autopilot, and he was as he felt gravity pulling him toward you. 

It did not take him long to be right up behind you, and that’s when he realized the “fans” had practically caged you in as they shouted at you. Profanities and derogatory terms were being thrown at you left and right in any language, and Arvid knew he had to get you out of there. 

He quickly wrapped an arm over your shoulders as he pulled you into his chest, shielding you from the chaos, and began backing out of the center to find a way out. Thankfully, there was no one blocking behind him, so he was able to just go back the way he came and take the back way around to the VCARB garage.

The garage wasn’t too far, but it felt like an eternity for you. Your heart was racing, and despite knowing it was Arvid taking you to safety, it didn’t help calm you down. You didn’t even register that he had gotten you all the way to his driver’s room until he pushed you to sit on his couch while he kneeled in front of you. He moved one of your hands to rest against his neck as he kept the other in his.

“You’re doing great,” He said quietly as he used his thumb to rub across your knuckles while taking deeper breaths, “Can you breathe with me?”

It took him repeating it a few times, but soon enough, you caught on and began to take struggled breaths in time with him. You finally started to register the noise (or lack thereof) around you. There were no screaming fans or condescending reporters. No camera clicking or shouts of displeasure. 

It was silent for once. You were finally able to hear your own thoughts and think clearly for the first time this whole weekend. Your eyes cleared as you made eye contact with your concerned boyfriend who was still grounding you in the way he had learned a long time ago, causing you to smile.

“Thank you, Arvid,” You whispered as he moved the hand still entwined with your hand up to rest against your cheek. “You always know what to do.”

“I’m always here to pick you back up, and I’m always here to tell you that everybody else is stupid,” He said with a chuckle as he started in the routine speech he gives you wherever the hate gets too much. “What have these people done? Nothing but shit on your parade. You are the first female F2 winner. You are the first female in an F1 since the 90s or something. I am confident you will be the first female on an F1 podium and definitely the first female to win an F1 race. Maybe both in one go, but we’ll see when we get there.”

“Stop blowing my nonexistent horn here,” You tried to dismiss as you gently pushed at his shoulder. “You’re giving me more credit than I deserve.”

“Absolutely not!” Arvid interrupted before moving to cup your face between his hands as he squished your cheeks and shook your head. “You deserve the world, and it’s my job to build you up. I won’t stop until you finally believe it.”

“And what if I never do?” You chuckled but it came out a little weird since he was still squishing your face.

“Then I guess I’ll never stop.”

20. Josef Newgarden

After finishing runner-up in British Formula Ford in 2009, Newgarden had his fingers burnt in the inaugural GP3 series in 2010 when average results and a lack of funding left his F1 dream in tatters. A return Stateside in 2011 saw him crowned Indy Lights champion and, over the next decade, become a two-time IndyCar champion.

He’s never denied the strong allure of a switch to Formula 1: “I’d [still] like to do it,” he told the New York Times just 10 days ago. But with a plum seat his at Team Penske, we can’t see him taking the leap anytime soon.

19. Jamie Whincup

He's Australian Supercars' Michael Schumacher with seven championship titles and the most race wins in that championship's history, so the thought of Whincup in Formula 1 gets the blood pumping.

Fast, consistent and dependable, Whincup has only finished outside the top-three in the championship once since 2007. Even at 37, retirement supposedly looming, he's winning races and has a contract through 2021. The mind boggles at what Whincup, who started in single-seaters, might have achieved in open-wheel racing.

18. Davide Valsecchi

Known today as the most effervescent of racing pundits, if you could imagine taking that enthusiasm and manifesting it behind the wheel, that’s how he drove: Valsecchi was a joy to behold. His junior racing career yielded just one win, but when he arrived in GP2 he flourished and was crowned both GP2 and GP2 Asia champion.

Promoted to Lotus F1 reserve, his big break should have come when Kimi Raikkonen missed the final two races of 2013. Yet the team opted to call up the perceived safe hands of Heikki Kovalainen, who finished a disappointing and distant 14th in both races – most frustratingly at Abu Dhabi where Valsecchi held the record as the most successful driver at the circuit in GP2, scoring three wins and two P2s. His dream crushed, he hung up his helmet in 2016.

17. Antonio Felix Da Costa

As a member of the Red Bull junior programme, Portugal’s da Costa should, by rights, have slotted into the mix to partner Jean-Eric Vergne at Toro Rosso in 2014. He had wowed his bosses and the establishment with a sensational 2012 season, juggling multiple disciplines, winning Macau, and narrowly missing out on the GP3 crown.

After a slightly more frustrating 2013 for da Costa, Red Bull brass decided to promote Daniil Kvyat to Toro Rosso to replace the promoted Daniel Ricciardo. DTM came calling for da Costa and then Formula E, where he currently leads the championship.

16. Gonzalo Rodriguez

“Gonchi” was a racer whose star shone bright and burned out far too quickly. One of an old-school guard, he rocked up to Formula 3000 in the late '90s and left an immediate impression on anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him and watching him race. Physically and mentally strong, friendly and charming, he became a sparring partner and great friend of Juan Pablo Montoya.

The Uruguayan followed his friend back across the Atlantic to race in ChampCar, but he was tragically killed in practice for the 1999 Grand Prix of Monterey at Laguna Seca. Having already secured a seat for the 2000 season with Patrick Racing, there’s no telling what he might have achieved either Stateside or, should fate have allowed, in Formula 1.

15. Simona de Silvestro

Simona could and possibly should have been on the grid as Formula 1’s first female racer in a generation. A regular winner in Formula Atlantic, she was regarded by many in the Indycar paddock as a genuine talent.

In 2014 she took a gamble and walked away from Indycar to pursue a year in the Sauber F1 stable as an affiliate driver in training for a 2015 seat. The team was impressed from her very first laps in their car, with internal talk that she was at least on a par with their then driver Adrian Sutil. But as her backing faltered and with Sauber already on precarious financial ground, her seat and shot at Formula 1 never materialised.

14. Paul Tracy

Although Tracy’s big F1 chance came in the mid-'90s, thus outside our 20-year remit, he could also have made a switch in the 2000s. Testing for Benetton at Estoril in 1994, he lapped faster than both Jos Verstappen and JJ Lehto's qualifying times for that year's Grand Prix.

He was offered a seat, but after seeing how Formula 1 had chewed up the undeniable Indycar driver of the day, Michael Andretti, Tracy decided to keep his focus Stateside. His peak was yet to come and, given his ChampCar title came in 2003, an early 2000s Formula 1 career could have been on the cards. While some might argue that ChampCars suited Tracy’s style better than the F1 machinery of the day, Montoya's transition suggested that PT could have made the jump and shaken up the establishment in much the same way.

13. Colin McRae

Could it have happened? There was certainly talk, and there were definitely some chances. But were they all just sponsor bluster? McRae’s first Formula 1 laps came when he and Martin Brundle did a car swap at Silverstone in 1996. Although purely for promotional reasons, Colin didn’t exactly hang around in the Jordan 195 and lapped within a few seconds of the regular racer, setting a pace which would have been good enough to see him line up on the grid for that year’s Grand Prix.

While McRae returned to rallying and winning world championships, the prospect reared its head once again at the start of the 2000s. With the Scot now a Ford driver, there was talk he might switch to Jaguar's new F1 team. Though McRae called it PR chat, you can’t help but wonder how a switch to F1 would have played out.

12. Robert Wickens

Robert Wickens always seemed to be just that half-step away from getting a full grip on his dream, and he had the talent to ascend to and compete in Formula 1. As part of the Red Bull programme he’d monstered Formula BMW USA and Formula ChampCar Atlantic before running A1GP, F3 and eventually F2 and GP3.

He came second in both the F2 and GP3 championships before taking a reserve driver role at the Virgin F1 Team and moving to World Series where he won the title, beating Jean-Eric Vergne in the process. Dropped by Red Bull, he moved to DTM where he bided his time with Mercedes.

With no F1 opportunities, he found immediate success and became a fan favourite in IndyCar with a pole on his debut and the podiums flowing. Then, he survived a sickening accident at Pocono, which left him paraplegic and one of the greatly missed aces of F1.

11. Gary Paffett

Few drivers have had as many near-misses with an F1 seat as Gary Paffett, but the stand-out DTM driver for over a decade never got the deserved opportunity. An F3 champion in the early 2000s, Paffett made DTM his home and was crowned champion in 2005 before being called up as McLaren's test driver.

In 2006, Juan Pablo Montoya left the team to race in NASCAR and Paffett believed the seat was his, but McLaren went instead for Pedro de la Rosa who had deputised for Montoya at the '05 Bahrain Grand Prix.

For 2007, McLaren had already lined up Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, and Paffett’s chance had gone. He stuck with DTM, becoming one of Mercedes’ most valued assets with another title in 2018.

10. Jason Watt

Danish racer Jason Watt had the world at his feet: Danish karting champion, Formula Opel Lotus champion, Formula Ford champion, he was running in DTM against the likes of Dario Franchitti, Giancarlo Fisichella and Alex Wurz when a call came to race Formula 3000.

He leapt at it, finishing third in his debut 1997 season. In 1999, he took the title fight to the finale but Nick Heidfeld ultimately prevailed.

And then F1 came knocking, via the prospect of a shoot-out for Williams against the likes of Brazilian Bruno Junqueira, whom Watt had dispatched with ease in 3000, and an F3 rookie called Jenson Button.

Watt never joined them as a motorcycle accident in 1999 left him paralysed from the chest down and confined to a wheelchair. And that was Formula 1 done. He continued to race but Watt's F1 dream had been taken in a cruel twist of fate.

9. Adam Carroll

Impressive in everything he ever drove and gifted with the most natural flair and touch, Adam Carroll could get into anything and win.

A junior champion, he became one of the stand-outs of the early years of GP2, renowned for a racing hunger and heart that never wavered. He was the ultimate giant killer, yet he always struggled for budget and top-line drives.

Formula 1 was watching, however, and he was signed up by BAR-Honda as a test driver. He led a championship-winning assault on A1GP for team Ireland, which put him back in the spotlight for an F1 seat.

Campos (HRT) and Virgin came knocking, but Carroll was still lacking budget. Lola rated him so highly they would have given him a seat for nothing, but their 2010 entry was rejected. The frustrating thing is that he knew he had to make the most of every shot he was granted and that would have made Carroll one of the most tenacious F1 drivers of his generation.

8. Greg Moore

So revered in the racing world is the electrifying Greg Moore that even 20 years after his death, racers still put on red gloves to pay homage to the Canadian.

Moore seemed to toy with the monstrous beasts of Champ Car in a way that almost nobody else could. But as his star ascended in the States, could he have switched to F1?

It seemed very likely in the early 2000s when greats such as Jacques Villeneuve, Juan Pablo Montoya and Sebastien Bourdais all crossed over, and Moore could easily have followed.

Sir Jackie Stewart was interested, and it is rumoured that those red gloves would have found no happier a home than Maranello, where Greg was held in incredibly high regard. Sadly, we'll never know, as he was killed in a crash at the California Speedway in 1999.

7. Valentino Rossi

If ever there was a case of what might have been, it was the hugely publicised relationship between Ferrari and nine-time motorcycle racing champion Valentino Rossi.

His first running with the Scuderia came at a three-day test at Valencia in 2006 and by the end of it he was lapping within half a second of Michael Schumacher, a feat that left the German "incredulous", according to Ferrari engineer Luigi Mazzola.

READ MORE: What now for Hamilton, Vettel and co? How delaying 2021 rules will impact the driver market

We now know that Ferrari had made an offer to the Italian, which insisted he start as a test driver, move to a satellite team and only race for Ferrari should all those steps go well – but Rossi rejected it.

The shocked but impressed Schumacher was thus left somewhat saddened when Rossi decided to stay on two wheels.

As Rossi continued to test for the team through to 2010 and Ferrari looked at running a third car for him, the prospect lingered tantalisingly out of reach.

The desire clearly burned strong on both sides and, as Rossi’s recent swap with Lewis Hamilton reinforced, it’s a dream The Doctor never quite let go.

6. Jamie Green

It’s late 2004 and the GP2 Series is set to replace Formula 3000 as the feeder championship for Formula 1.

Based on the last few years of racing at this level, the plum seats are going to be at Arden – filled by Heikki Kovalainen and Nicholas Lapierre – and BCN Competicion.

Nico Rosberg is about to sign with BCN when a call comes through from Nicolas Todt and Fred Vasseur at the all new ART Grand Prix squad. The driver they’d hoped would sign with them, their reigning F3 EuroSeries champion, has decided to go to DTM. Would Nico be interested in the seat? The rest, as they say, is history.

ART was set to become the dominant force of GP2, launching not only Rosberg but Lewis Hamilton, Romain Grosjean and Nico Hulkenberg to F1 as champions in its first five years.

QUIZ: Who's missing from these classic F1 scenes?

But their first champion? That should by all accounts have been Jamie Green. A force in junior racing, phenomenal in Formula 3 and a racer who, at the time, was considered a better prospect than both Hamilton and Robert Kubica, Green has and continues to have a solid career in DTM.

But he could, and arguably should, have been battling Hamilton for Formula 1 glory for the past 15 years.

5. Scott Dixon

One of the most versatile and consistently competitive drivers of his generation, Scott Dixon is a great lost talent of modern F1.

As a five-time Indycar champion, it isn’t just his raw pace that has marked him out as the target man of the championship, it’s the fact he’s a threat no matter what he’s up against.

He’ll drive just about anything, too: A multiple champion at Daytona, he’ll just as happily tackle Le Mans as the Indy 500. And he’s respected by everyone who ever sat in a race car.

Dixon did have a trial in F1, however. After his early 2000s successes Stateside, he tested for Williams in 2004 on two separate occasions. But he failed to impress sufficiently without the time to fully embed himself in the team and on the narrow window of the grooved tyres of the day.

4. Sebastien Loeb

The greatest rally driver of all time very nearly made the jump to F1.

It all started with a promotional seat swap in 2007 where he got to try Kovalainen's Renault R27 at Circuit Paul Ricard. The very next year, Red Bull became the sponsor of his Citroen factory team in WRC and as a reward for winning the championship he tested Red Bull’s 2008 RB4 at both Silverstone and the post-season test at Barcelona where he was eighth-quickest.

In 2009, he tested GP2 machinery to keep himself sharp. As Toro Rosso’s relationship with Bourdais was faltering, a plan was hatched to run Loeb at the season finale in Abu Dhabi, before a full F1 debut in 2010.

The reluctance to issue one of the most supremely gifted drivers on the planet a Superlicence scuppered all the plans for what would have been one of the most incredible crossovers of the modern era.

3. Jeff Gordon

The man responsible for making an entire generation of Americans fall in love with NASCAR, the 'Rainbow Warrior' never actually wanted to race stock cars.

He began his career in karts and quarter midgets, moving to sprint cars and winning the USAC Silver Crown at the age of 20. He dreamed of racing Indycar but couldn’t find the backing. Then came a call from someone who had seen him race. They wanted him to come to Europe and test F3. That someone was Sir Jackie Stewart.

With Gordon on the path towards stock car racing in the Busch Series – where he was crowned 1991's Rookie of the Year – the test never happened.

He very nearly made the switch at the end of the 1990s when BAR Honda tabled an offer to Gordon which would have seen him leave NASCAR and come to F1, but only after he’d run two seasons in ChampCar for Team Green. But Gordon wasn't swayed and, by 2003 he was a four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion.

That year, mutual sponsors gave him the chance to swap a seat with Montoya for 15 laps of the Indianapolis road course and Gordon wound up half a second off the Colombian.

Those 15 laps were all that he got. A touted 2005 move to Williams never took place and F1 missed out on the most gifted American racer of his generation.

2. Dario Franchitti

Dario could have been an F1 driver, not just because he was a great talent of his or any generation, but because there were three chances.

Call it luck, judgement or simply fate, the cards never fell quite right. The Scot had his first taste of F1 courtesy of the McLaren Autosport Young Driver award.

He impressed McLaren so much that they offered him a test role alongside his Champ Car commitments Stateside, but with David Coulthard and Mika Hakkinen at the team he sensed a chance was never there and turned Ron Dennis down.

His next opportunity came at the end of the '90s when he was approached to quit Champ Car's Team Green and move with BAR-Honda to F1. He didn't take the gamble.

Incredibly, Franchitti’s move to F1 would have freed up his Champ Car seat for Jeff Gordon as BAR and Team Green were linked back then by BAT sponsorship – so BAR-Honda may have had Franchitti and Gordon in F1 by 2002!

A final chance came in 2000 with a surprise test for Jaguar at Silverstone, but following the death of his best friend Greg Moore and serious injuries for Franchitti from a huge crash in testing at Homestead, he wasn't prepared.

Over the next 15 years, he would win three Indy 500s and four IndyCar titles to go down as one of the greatest racers to cross the Atlantic. We can’t help but wonder what he might have achieved in Formula 1.

1. Tom Kristensen

Mr Le Mans is widely regarded as one of the greatest racing drivers ever with a combination of humility, grace, uncompromising work ethic and a calm, assured style behind a wheel.

He's racked up plaudits, awards and success in the sport that is rivalled by few others.

He was German and Japanese F3 champion, won races in Formula 3000, Formula Nippon, the DTM and BTCC, and when the chance came with a last-minute call-up to race at Le Mans in 1997, he put in one of the most astonishing debut performances ever witnessed to help Joest take victory.

While his junior racing contemporaries Alex Zanardi and Mika Hakkinen went on to success in open-wheel racing, Kristensen made Le Mans his domain.

His real run of successes at La Sarthe began in the 2000s where he won six in a row, amassing nine total Le Mans victories, six Sebring 12 Hours and a World Endurance Championship.

There was always interest in Formula 1, both from him and from the sport. He tested for Minardi, Tyrrell and most notably Williams, where his work for Michelin was considered vital to the manufacturer’s understanding of the category.

He very nearly signed for Prost but the budget wasn't there and, arguably, F1's loss was the rest of motorsport's gain as Kristensen could have become a footnote racing for teams beneath his ability.

It's simply too sad a notion to think that we never witnessed him race in this category, such is Kristensen's skillset. Would he trade one Le Mans win for a year at the sharp end in Formula 1? Unlikely. But that would have been something to see.

EPISODE 9: “Two weeks ago, I found the most important item in this game: the stick of destiny” - NED (PART 1)

I guess it's fitting we named our FINAL 3 alliance "the Pancakes-" Rob flipped. And guess what? Elliott flipped too. Right now, the only people I trust are Sarah, Eddie, and Sam. Fortunately, Joe's an absolute idiot and left Steph out of the loop- so hopefully, I'll be able to pull her in and we'll have a solid majority of 5. Then, boom boom boom boom- there goes Rob (he's a dick), Elliott (he can win things actually), Chips (he's sketchy), and Joe (I want him to be the last one so he suffers). It's time to hunt.

This is my least favorite part of the game. Voting people out. Now Eddie hates me, but I still love him. Sarah and Ned are mad at me too. I like them, I really really do. But I had to do what's best for my game, and I would not win against them. I can win against the others though, and I feel so bad. i hate this game. I always become a snake. I guess I'm going to be rode hard and put away wet huh? I hate it, i hate it i hate it i hate it my heart hurts a lot

THE FACT THAT MY GAME COULD HAVE ENDED TONIGHT ALL BY THE HANDS OF THE BIGGEST IDIOTS OF THIS SEASON HAS ME LIVIDDDD.!!!! SO ANYWAYS GUYS THAT TRIBAL WAS MESSY AF AND IM GOING TO TELL U SOME  TEA AND I SWEAR TO GOD I TRIED TO FILM THIS BUT I KEEP SLURRING MY WORDS BECAUSE I HAVENT SELPT FOR MORE THAN 24 HOURS LETS GET DOWN TO BUSINESS Can we please take a minute and lets talk about how chip and joe think that going to sam and talking shit and telling lies about me is going to get her to vote me out....BITCH U THOT. Its so ugly because Sam and I are the only active girls left in the season and if any MENINIST GUY thinks for a second that her and I dont talk can fuck right off. So shes telling me all these things that Joe and Chips said about me and its like !!!!?!?!?!? FUCK THEYRE SO FUNNY IM GONNA TELL YALL WHAT THEY SAID 1) They said that I was the mastermind behind the Drew and Andreas vote. HAHAHAH YEA I FUCKING WISH!! I WISH I HAD THAT ON MY RESUME THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GR8. Nah tbh it doesnt make sense for me to directly go after Andreas. Sam, Andreas and I were still in an alliance at that point so !!?!?! dumb fucks 2) They said I PARTICIPATED IN THE SEASON REBELS AND ROGUES AND I WAS A ROGUE SO IM CRAZY SO THEY NEED TO GET ME OUT. Ok this is  HILARIOUS to me for several reasons. SAM WAS ON REBELS AND ROGUES ...JOE ARE U FUCKING STUPID. !?!?!?! If he actually did his research he would have known that... AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT I SUCKED AT THAT GAME AND THAT WAS ALMSOT A YEAR AGO!!! AS IF I PLAY THE EXACT SAME WAY! YA RIGHT! Its funny hes basing my game off of what season I was on...thats like saying joe is smart because hes a host.....................BUT WE ALL KNOW THATS A FUCKIGN LIE Anyways so after this call Sam and I both agreed we felt good with Eddie, Ned and Rob and all 5 of us should be in a f5 alliance. Rob had said to eddie, sam and I all individually at different times that he doesnt like chips and joe so we were like ICON COME TO US! SO WE MAKE THIS F5 AND ITS CUTE BECAUSE BEFORE WE EVEN MADE THIS F5...I HAD A F3 WITH NED AND ROB ALREADY SO ITS LIKE IT WAS ALL SET UP!!!!!!!!!!! So then rob and eddie tell me that IM THE TARGET!?!?!?!?!??! WHY ARE THESE UGLIES SO AFRAID OF ME!? ANYWAYS IM LIKE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL NO THANKS IM GOOD So I get on call with Eddie and we're talking strategy and we decide that im going to skip this round with my time turner but before i do it eddie and i talked for a bit and eddie is being kinda obvious about  how hes threatened about my social connections because he thinks i have Ned and Rob which i mean, is half true. I have ned as an ally. But I tell Ned to tell eddie that im aggressive and annoying sometimes because Eddie literally thinks I am aggressive and I mean...im not going to lie I am but ive been getting better!!!!!!!!!! So Ned sends the message to Eddie and hes like “OGOMGOGMG SARAH I HAVE TO TELL U SOMETHING” AND IM ON CALL TRYING NOT TO LAUGH AND IM LIKE WHAT IS IT AND HE TELLS ME THAT AND I ACT SOOOO OFFENDED AND ITS HILARIOUS BECAUSE EDDIES LIKE “SARAH U ARE AGRESSIVE” basically my ego had to take a beating from eddie so eddie doesnt think ned and I are like definite. I feel like its obvious at this point which sucks but we made it to final 10 without people realizing!!!!! But anyways I used the time turner and was SENT RACING THROUGH TIME AND SPACE I AM IMMUNE FOR ONE ROUND OF TRIBAL I FEEL FREE I couldnt talk to anyone and I was removed from the tribe chat !! which im happy about because i dont want to see those uglies :~) SO FINALLY IT COMES TO TRIBAL AND LEMME TELL YOU I WAS SWEATING BECAUSE WHAT IF SOMEONE FLIPPED!?!?!?!? SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tribal comes and joe outs me and says i didnt talk to him about the vote ...acting like im the one that makes the decisions so thats how he feels about me. PLEASE JOE NO ONE EXCEPT YOU AND YOUR EGO WILL ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT! Anyways I was only watching so i coudnt say SHIT to him because trust me I wanted to! PLUS HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TALK TO U WHEN IM IN IN TIME AND SPACE LIKE YEA YOUR ANNOYING ASS FACE AND VOICE IS BEING DROWNED OUT SORRY I CANNNT HEAR YOUUUU!!! IM SCREECHING AT TRIBAL BECAUSE ELLIOTTS 27 YEAR OLD ASS SAID THAT HE JUST GUESSED AND DIDNT HAVE A STRATEGY AND ITS LIKE STUPUID FICKING BITCH HOW DARE YOU I HAD A STRATEGY AND U STILL BEAT ME FUCK OFF LIKE FUCK RIGHT OFF THEN ROB WAS SAYING SUS AF THINGS AND IM JUST HERE LIKE OKMGJKNFKOSDLFJMOSIDKFL THIS BITCH REALLY GONNA FLIP and im like trying not to freak out because it wouldnt make any logical sense for Rob to flip because not only does he have f5, ned, him and I are also in f3 so its perfect for him so im like its ok THE VOTE COMES OUT AND ELLIOTT AND ROB FLIPPED ON US!!!!!!! ELLIOTT SURE KNOWS HOW TO HOLD A GRUDGE :) BUT HOW DARE ROB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST BECAUSE OUR ALLIANCE IS CALLED THE PANCAKES DOESNT MEAN U GOTTA BURN ME LIKE THAT :~( THE PANCAKES ARE DEAD So im just sitting her trying to figure out why he would give up potential f2 for maybe f5 and not even ?!?!? I HATE HIS STUPID MUSTACHED 15 YEAR OLD ASS So apparently the plan was for eddie to play his idol so they could flush it and then ariel would go home...which is so funny because ned, sam, eddie and I were all safe and ned and eddie didnt play their idols!!!!!1 im so #blessed but anyways it comes to steph being leaved out of the vote so theres just a random vote against sam and im DYING BECAUSE THEY THINK SAM IS WITH them SO THEY DIDNT EVEN CARE ABOUT US TRYING TO GET STEPH AS A NUMBER BECAUSE THEY ARE SO CONFIDENT IN THEIR NUMBERS SO NOW STEPH WANTS TO WORK WITH US AND SHES WAY BETTER THAN UGLY ASS ROB! And now we're in the majority :~) THE LOYAL DREAM TEAM: eddie, sam, ME, NED <3 and steph anyways I NEED TO WIN PRESSURE COOKER BECAUSE THEYRE AFTER ME AND EVEN IF WERE IN MAJORITY I STILL WANT THEM OUT ALLLLSSSSO IM SCARED JR IS GONNA PULL A MALDIVES AND HAVE AN INSTANT TRIBAL RIGHT BEFORE PRESSURE COOKER STARTS SO THE DREAM TEAM IS READY IN CASE THIS HAPPENS!! Eddie told me hes going to fight hard but he would drop if its down to me and him I WANT THIS SO MUCH also this is funny to me [2016-11-05 8:11:19 PM] Rob Rangel: I'm sad too [2016-11-05 8:11:27 PM] Rob Rangel: i didn't want to do it [2016-11-05 8:11:37 PM] Rob Rangel: but i did what i thought was best for me [2016-11-05 8:11:48 PM] Rob Rangel: because i know that you would beat me [2016-11-05 8:12:05 PM] Rob Rangel: you are a good player Sarah [2016-11-05 8:14:03 PM] Rob Rangel: You have good connections in this game [2016-11-05 8:14:27 PM] Rob Rangel: You work hard to further yourself [2016-11-05 8:14:35 PM] Rob Rangel: Youre a likeable person

Sarah and I had a really long call yesterday and I hope she doesn't throw me under the bus but like I'm living because now I'm hoping that I can just slide under and not be a target honestly, I don't trust Joe or Sarah but they're both running each side so I need to find a way to play both sides and slowly destroy each of their allies. Ariel was unfortunate collateral damage but now that Eddie has lost one of his numbers and Steph may or may not feel isolated their side is definitely weaker so now I'm ready to take out Joe, I'm really hoping he doesn't win and I'm really hoping that Eddie, Ned, Sarah, and I can vote for Joe and Steph will vote with us cause then it'll be us vs Chris, Elliott, and Rob and Joe but Joe will be gone I really want to just flop between both sides getting rid of everyone who's lied to me

I'm ready for my OTTN edit. I know that people are going to be talking shit about me, but do I deserve it? That's the biggest question. People are mean, there's barely any good people in the game. There's only like Ned and Steph who are good.

Maybe they'll finally realize there's a reason why I was put on the tribe that is known for their STRATEGY fuck

Idk guess this is just a boost in confidence because I just got 17/18 in a game and i told myself i was never playing again. 

After Abbey's letter, and the last round that just happened, I have so much more drive in me, and I really think I can win this if I play my cards right. I don't have it in the bag or anything, but I don't think it's impossible like I did two rounds ago. I was kind of UTR the first two votes of the merge because I really wasn't enjoying being forced into following the majority, and once Sarah wouldn't listen to me I kinda said fuck it, I'll let her go with them, and she'll see that I'm right so I just kinda took a back seat to everything and wasn't very active.

I think I just single handedly pulled an aubry when she went to tai about flipping on scot and jason and got him to do it

So tonight is Pressure Cooker, and unfortunately, I won't be able to participate. However, everyone in my alliance (Sarah, Eddie, Sam, and I) is expecting instant Tribal before the challenge, and the plan is to ACTUALLY vote out Chips this time. Joe, Chips, and Elliott still think they have Sam, and Sam hasn't heard anything from them, so hopefully they won't be expecting anything tonight. However, we need either Stephanie or Rob to vote with us, so we tried to get both (and at the very least, get Rob to vote someone else so his vote is pointless). Sarah and I had a prayer circle like we used to do at Hasti, and this is just a short segment of what was said: Sarah: DEAR FLOATER GODS LET STEPHANIE COME TO OUR SIDE AMEN Sarah: DEAR BACKSTABBER GODS LET ROB NOT DO IT AGAIN PLS GOD OH PLS AMEN Immediately after we did that, we found out that we had successfully pulled in both Stephanie AND Rob, so we're not expecting any funny business later. I'm so excited to see Joe's expression when his #1 puppy dog goes home. :)

[6:33:48 PM] Rob Rangel: oh and also, they named the alliance sarah hit squad : ( [6:34:16 PM] Sarah: AHHAHAHAHAHA HOLY FUCK [6:34:18 PM] Sarah: JFKLDSJFKLSDJF [6:34:38 PM] Rob Rangel: so... i guess there's an anti-sarah alliance now [6:34:47 PM] Rob Rangel: if that hasn't happened before [6:35:36 PM] Sarah: he names the alliances for who he wants to take out and then he has a new target and makes a new one with less ppl [6:35:46 PM] Sarah: I love my fans [6:36:04 PM] Rob Rangel: <3 I'm a fan of sarah the icon PETITION FOR THIS EPISODE TO BE CALLED SARAH HIT SQUAD  PLS MAKE IT HAPPEN started from the bottom and now were here I called steph and shes on board and eddie called rob and hes going to vote with us and obviously the uglies are voting me but hopefully this looks like a 6-3 vote . God please please please let chips go now. Btw im ready for pressure cooker..!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 bring it on

Just found out I'm the target. In case I go home, Elliott: You're an idiot. You think I'm stupid but I've known you're not with us since Andreas went home. Joe: You think you're in control of the game but you're really not. I hope your downfall is spectacular. Chips: It's fun to be a sheep, right? Sarah: Win. Sam: You're awesome. It was great getting to know you! Eddie: The same as for Sam- you're a really cool guy and I'm glad I met you. Stephanie: You seem really cool! I just wish you were more active. Rob: I hope you're with me. If not, you dun goofed.

Okay I guess I might as well make a confessional now but like I'm on mobile so I might just give up, but these past two votes have felt WILD! Like Ariel going was kind of sucky, I wish it had been Steph instead but whatever they were basically interchangeable at this point, so I got pulled into this alliance with Rob Ned Sarah and Eddie then we wanted to use Elliott as our vote to take out Chris and since Rob and Elliott don't like Joe we all just assumed that everything was great and stuff! Then I find out that Elliott and Rob DONT want to take out Chris and instead actually want to work with Joe and Chris! Shook I know, and then I got added to an alliance with Elliott Joe Rob and Chris so I had to decide what I wanted to do and I ended up telling Eddie about the Ariel vote but telling him that we didn't have the numbers to save her and especially since we couldn't get a hold of Steph we couldn't even tie it and flip the vote on the revote since joes extra vote wouldn't count but part of me was glad, I wanna weaken both sides honestly, but yeah so I voted with Ariel and Joe and everyone else thought I was 100% with them which was good because the Loyal Dream Team alliance of myself Sarah Eddie and Ned could find out who they were voting and play an idol! Only it turns out we didn't even need to! They managed to flip Rob and got a hold of Steph without even letting anyone know that I was with them! I have literally been feeding Sarah Eddie and Ned information from Joe the whole time and they didn't suspect a thing! After the Chris vote, which I actually do vote for Chris, I told Elliott and Joe they told me last minute and that everyone was voting so I thought that's what they were doing blah blah blah and they believed me! Elliott is probable smarter than people, myself included, give him credit for but I told him I'm so sorry that he wasn't included and I should have told him but I thought he already knew blah blah blah and he was like whatever but that's what you gotta do when you're on the bottom and Elliott knows that (also I REALLY hope he wins this pressure cooker!) but yeah then Joe actually believed me too and we were talking about Eddie as our next target and how we can probably away Rob back over to our side and Steph will hopefully join us too and all that fun fake stuff (throwback to a few days ago when Joe told Sarah he always knows when I'm lying... Bitch please) but the funniest thing that happened was that Rob actually came to me asking if I was mad at him and said he felt bad about leaving me out of the vote! I was so shook! I guess I'm a better double agent than I thought!

i just lied my ass off too him and I feel horrible about it.

there goes my morals... I was really hoping that they would be there by the time the game ended, but....  I guess not everything turns out to be the way you want it to be.

I'ma have to give myself some credit though and say that my mist has me shook. The fact that Joe and I have been actively and publicly against each other since the final 10 and I have came for him at multiple tribal councils INCLUDING THE PRESSURE COOKER AND he has a huge target on his back and he knows there's a good chance that he's a sitting duck and is the next to go and I was able to talk him into throwing the challenge to me and quitting......................................... SHOOK SHOOK SHOOK!!!!!!!!
