Mirrorball - Charles Leclerc
Summary: 2023 is tearing Charles apart. But there’s one person who gives hope for a light at the end of the tunnel even when he let’s doubt and frustration get the better of him.
PS. wrote this while watch Cars 3 after qualifying and cried at the end of the movie
Y/n couldn’t stop her head from shaking as she sees Charles pull back in.
P11.
Another qualifying where “ the king of qualifying” doesn’t get into Q3.
He didn’t even wait for the car to sit in the garage before he climbed out as if he couldn’t bear to sit in the Ferrari any longer.
His gaze glares across the garage from within his helmet as he marches to the back leaving y/n to wait knowing he’s too angry to want her to attempt to calm him down. If she tried it might be explosive for her and everyone else int he vicinity. Easier to just wait till he comes to her.
Charles eventually pulls off his helmet and balaclava off but there’s a darkness in his eyes that makes y/n wince. He shoves his way between the engineers ready to tell them exactly what he thinks and how bad of a call they made.
Y/n moves to the Ferrari unit not wanting to see Charles like that and knowing he’ll catch up with her.
Things get worse when Charles is let loose in his thunderous mood in the media pen, telling them exactly how it is. His thoughts on how the team didn’t make the right call, didn’t listen and he doesn’t agree with them. They’ll be trouble in the debrief. A war of egos and what the right call was.
Truth is everyone knows what the right call was. But they didn’t do it.
“Charles, you need to calm down before the debrief.” Y/n mumbles when she finally lands herself in the same room as him.
“They never listen!” Charles exclaims in frustration. “They never listen and it is ruining everything.”
“I know.”
“I would be wiser to have you there on the radio as my race engineer at least I know I can trust you.” Charles grumbles before landing his head in her neck as he hugs her. Face nuzzling down as he inhales the lingering perfume on her skin and slowly seems to settle a little. His body still tense and rigid with angry and the stress of the whole situation but it relaxes ever so slightly. “I’m ok. I’m glad you’re here.”
“I’ll always be here. I’m going to be here as much as you need...because I have to be here to make sure you know that I see how much you’re trying. I see how hard you’re pushing yourself and I see what you put yourself through every day.” Y/n smiles softly while running a hand through his hair which aids in his body not being so stiff. “I don’t care what people say, you are fucking amazing.”
She tries to ignore the tears gathering in her eyes at the feeling of his own hitting her the skin on her neck making her pull him closer.
“One day I’m going to say I’m dating a world champion.”
“You’re going to leave me for Max?” Charles jokes clearly slowly feeling better which makes her smile a little. His mood is at least somewhat improved.
“Of course not. Alonso is the top of my list.” Y/n grins then laughing while he pulls her closer to hook her legs up around his waist. She finally gets a look at his face and there’s a relief she sees him smiling. “You’re going to get there, Charles. You work too hard to not get there and it won’t be this year. It doesn’t have to be this year. That doesn't mean it’s never going to happen. But things are going to get better.”
“I don’t know where I’d be without you?”
“I like to think you’d be somewhere searching for me even though you wouldn’t know I exist. You’d have like a homing instinct to search until you found me.” Y/n smiles before kissing him. “You know how lucky I feel every day to wake up with you as my boyfriend? Now...Are you ok now? Feel better?”
“Stay with me till the debrief?”
“God always so needy.” Y/n jokes before squealing when he picks her up keeping her legs around his waist and beginning to carry her from the room. “Charles! You can’t carry me.”
“I’d do more if there was enough time.”

Valtteri Bottas rijdt dit weekend weer met een helm die ontworpen is door zijn vriendin, Tiffany Cromwell. En wat voor een!

Sebastian Vettel helmet (#CanadianGP design)
Welcome back to: “What helmet does Sebastian Vettel have?”
One more message of awareness for our planet that Sebastian wears on his helmet, which denounces the excessive exploitation of Alberta's mining tar sands and the subsequent pollution in the environment.🌲🇨🇦

Na afloop van de Grand Prix van Canada in 2019 wisselde Sebastian Vettel de bordjes van P1 en P2 om, omdat hij niet te spreken was over de straf die hij had gekregen van de wedstrijdleiding. Weten jullie nog waar de Duitser precies voor bestraft werd?
