#I bet there would be more maxsplaining

[cupidskissx]

i was revisiting the instagram tributes that other drivers posted for seb and it got me thinking about what they would post for max when he inevitably retires in 2028. i think lando and daniels would be funny, pierre and alexs too. not sure who would be on the grid by then but maybe liam or yuki is his teammate and they would post something too. but what has me in a chokehold is what charles’ post could be like. would he post a picture from the karting days? would he have won a championship by then and post one of the two of them from the fia gala? what would his caption be?

Hi Anon, quick question, are you trying to induce a mental breakdown? 🫠😘

As much as I love to live in my delusion-bubble and transform every measly crumb into a three course meal, I’m gonna be real here for a second, I can’t see their posts being as heartfelt as we want them to be 💔

However, I’m a Lestappie through and through so here are a few of my scenarios/opinions (delusion included)

If Max retires first

Charles’ post — logical edition:

Charles’ post would likely be some shot of them driving, maybe Silverstone ‘19, or Jeddah ‘22 with a boring caption along the lines of:

Congratulations on a stellar career.

Charles’ post — Lestappen edition:

My heart screams that he’d pick a post-race embrace (hopefully one day we’ll have a proper one):

Fighting you was some of the best fun I’ve ever had.

The track won’t be the same without you there to push the limits and push me wide.

Enjoy this next chapter, you’ve earned the rest.

If Charles retires first

Max’s post — logical edition:

Max is a big softy, okay. HE would be the one to post them in their karting years, because he is the first to remind everyone they grew up racing each other (to combat the nostalgia of course he’d pick a photo from when he won his CIK-FIA World KZ Championship).

Together from the start until the end.

Well done on all your achievements over the years, mate 👍🏻

Max’s post — Lestappen edition:

It has to be the Austria ‘22 Podium, could it be anything else? Even with his rudimentary (and sometimes obliviously innocent) understanding of social media, in my mind even Max is aware how iconic this moment was.

It pays to never give up on a dream.

Congrats on winning your maiden championship and ending your career on a high. You deserve it.

I hate to admit a piece of me might miss seeing #16 in my mirrors, but thanks for not sticking around to wear my #1.

If anyone else has any takes on this, or wants to share some thoughts, I’m all ears ❤️

Oscar is so hot n it’s actually interesting that I say that! He’s not my usual type in almost any way and still I’m sweating when looking at him in pictures (pretty sure if I saw him irl I’d fucking die on the spot). What’s more interesting is also the fact that I think huge part in me liking him so much is his character. Even if I don’t know him obv his public persona is just so loveable! He’s a true gentleman, has similar sense of humour to mine, is kind of nerdy, always polite…like how can u not love him???

I had this thoughts because ofc I was having a conversation with my bestie about liking people you’re not instantly attracted to yesterday hahaha

honestly i get that w oscar because i don't have a type physically but i like smart people. i think a lot of people are physically attractive but i’m not attracted to them, if that makes sense? like george russell is eye candy but i’m not really interested in him. oscar’s definitely attractive and that’s what caught my attention but not why i actually like him. everything u said is so on point tbh.

i love oscar’s personality sm and before i rly started following him, i liked oscar bc he was cute then he said in an interview he was studying to be an engineer and said smth ab having good grades and i was drooling. instantly like oh hes smart i like him. and one of the very first things i heard ab max was an old video of christian (i think) where he was talking ab recruiting max and mentioned the other drivers he spoke to and how he was asking them about the car’s specs and they didn't know anything, and he was like, “well max knows it, why don’t you?” and idk why but that was so impressive to me, like 16/17 year old max spending his free time learning about a car he might get to drive so he can answer any questions they have? and that doesn’t even occur to anyone else? it just says a lot about him i think.

also, maxsplaining??? dont get me started. i would let that man talk for hours. i would do anything for him to explain formula one to me like yeah i get it. but i bet he could go on forever and ever ab it and i’d never get sick of it!!
