WTAF?! That Lestappen gif in comparison to how Charles and Carlos greeted each other has changed my perspective. These two are in love and are aware or they are at least aware of their crush on each other but have never acted on it. You can literally taste the UST from the screen. Charles blushing and Max’s grin after. And that wink from Charles and the eye sweep. FUUUUUCK!!! You are making me overly delusional like what was that?
lestappen gifs make me literally insane let me show you a few more of my favourites where you can taste the tension
Exhibit A: Teenagers With a Crush
Max looks at Charles, is caught looking at Charles, they both smile then look away smiling/fidgeting. It's TEXTBOOK crush behaviour it feels like something taken straight from a fic.
Exhibit B: Charles Leclerc's Constant Need for Eye Contact
Something about this gif is haunting. Charles aligning his whole body like he's a lodestone and Max is magnetic north like someone tell this man you're allowed to look away from Max Verstappen.
Exhibit C: Alexa Play Style by Taylor Swift
Them walking absolutely in sync makes me feel ill. That's all there is to say really.
Exhibit D: Austria 2022 Soft Porn
Yeah this one speaks for itself. You didn't even win the race why are you so smiley Max by god I hope these two got a room.
And this is just a summary. Every day I stumble across some other moment of these two that makes my jaw drop. They just...act like this.
