masterlist

LIGHTS OUT & AWAY WE GO !

there’s not many people out during usual work hours, kids are in school, adults are at work, and the world is a little quieter. it’s something satoru had grown to love. between all the cameras reporters, he just wanted some peace, and no one knew peace quite like coffee shops.

satoru sauntered into the building, it was unassuming enough, a few people scattered throughout the establishment, all too engrossed in their own work to look up. he doubted he’d get recognized by anyone in here.

he orders and gets his drink and pastry fairly quickly, sitting by the window and watching the world pass by him. life seemed to move in slow motion, the leisurely paces of someone walking their dog making him relax a bit.

“hey! is it cool if i use this outlet?” the voice makes him jump a bit, turning around to face whoever it was speaking.

you smile softly at him, hoping he would be kind enough to just let you charge your laptop. you figured he’d be attractive, his hair’s an eye catching bright white color, contrasting to the black shirt and sunglasses he had on. you caught a glimpse of his blue eyes as he looks at you, nodding before clearing his throat.

“yeah go ahead,” he returns the smile, motioning for you to plug in your charger.

“I’ll just leave it here to charge, i don’t wanna bother” you state, quickly plugging in your laptop before moving to walk away.

“you can sit if you wanna, it’s no problem” he rushes out quickly, hoping it was enough to make you stay. his breath caught in his throat as you turned to look at him.

“are you sure?” he nods quickly, “yeah no worries! I’m not doing much of anything right now,” he grins, regaining his composure and taking a sip of his drink.

it’s quiet between the two of you before you speak up, “you like Mercedes?” satoru feels his blood go cold, looking at you with a confused expression. you gesture to his shirt, “you’ve got their merch on” you laugh.

“oh! yeah they’re pretty cool,” he nods, watching as you smile and nod, focusing on your screen again.

“i didn’t know they had merch like that,” you admit, “maybe it’s just ‘cause im not super into cars.” satoru feels relief wash over him, his shoulders subtly relaxing before he’s looking at you again.

“it’s their f1 team merch” he says, “i work for them, actually.” his hearts beating a bit faster as you make eye contact with him, looking up from your laptop.

“oh? that’s so cool! you’re a mechanic or-?” your head cocks a bit to the side, smiling when the man across from you breaks into a wide grin.

satoru debates going along with your idea, but he can’t bring himself to lie to you, not when you’re eyes are shining at him.

“i actually race for them, im a driver” he corrects you gently, your eyes widen a bit and you cover your mouth as it opens.

“oh my god I’m so sorry! i don’t know a thing about formula one” you laugh nervously, “i knew there was something going on with all the extra fuss in the city but i had no idea what.”

he smiles at you and waves off your apology, “don’t worry! it was nice having someone to talk to that’s not yelling at me to sign something” he cringes a bit at the way the words rolled off his tongue, but you still smile at him, going back to working on whatever was it was you were doing on your laptop.

“one of my friends is actually getting into f1 i think, is there someone named,” you trail off as you think of the other mans name, “i think it’s Charlie? charles? one of those two” you laugh nervously, satoru’s ears perk up at the name.

“charles leclerc?” He asks, your eyes light up, “yeah that one! he’s a racer right?” satoru nods at you.

“yeah he races for ferrari,” you nod along to his words, realizing you hadn’t caught his name yet.

“what was your name, just so i know who to root for when people ask my favorite driver” you grin, a twinkle in your eye that makes his stomach flip.

“I’m satoru, satoru gojo” he reaches his hand across the table for you to shake, you can’t stop the soft chuckle that leaves your lips as your hands connect, a firm shake against his much larger, warmer and calloused hands.

a comfortable silence falls between the two of you as satoru finishes his drink off and you continue to focus on your laptop. satoru can’t help but continue to look your way, thinking you were absolutely breathtaking.

you on the other hand, had your heart beating against your rib cage as you pulled up your messaging app on your laptop and quickly texted your best friend.

I HAD TO PLUG IN MY CHARGER BUT THE ONLY OUTLET WAS NEXT TO THIS SUPER HOT GUY AND I ENDED UP SITTING IN THE BOOTH W HIM AND WERE TALKING AND HES AN F1 DRIVER ???? DID I MENTION HES HOT AS FUCK??

you wait a couple minutes, your friend has yet to reply as your leg bounced under the table.

“what are you working on? if i may ask” the question makes you immediately close your messages and go back to your google document, looking blankly at the paper in front of you.

“it’s some busy work for a class im in, required by the university” you shrug, “was getting through it pretty quickly until my laptop died on me” the snowy haired man smiled at you, laughing softly as he pulls his phone out.

satoru scrolls aimlessly on his socials, nothing seemed as interesting as you did, sitting practically across from him engrossed in your work. the two of you made easy conversation for the next hour or so, not realizing how much time had passed since youd sat down.

you’d tried to get up and leave after you turned in your assignment and laptop was charged, giving him privacy you imagined he yearned for. but satoru was quick to tell you to stay, “you don’t have to go! it’s nice talking to you” he says, “like a breath of fresh air.”

and so you sit back down, the two of you falling into place as if you were old friends, people who’d known each other in years past and were catching up. you didn’t ask about his job or his career, asking about him and what his favorite color was, his favorite season and if he actually liked his coffee as sweet as it has smelled.

you kept reminding yourself this was gonna be a one off thing, he’d leave and you’d part ways, never talking again as you inevitably turned on an f1 race, seeing the pretty man on your tv screen and imagining what could’ve been if you were a bit braver.

it had been nearly three hours since you’d sat at his booth when his phone starts buzzing, quickly answering the call from his manager. his small smile turns to a faint pout as they tell him to head to the paddock for free practice in a couple hours, sighing and telling them he’d be on his way shortly.

you feel disappointed as you hear the words, not wanting the bubble you were in to burst, wanting to stay seated across from the attractive man for as long as you could.

“I’m gonna head out, have to go work” he jokes, his smile widens when you laugh, “i hope you pass your exam thursday,” he’s doing everything in his power to linger around, trying to figure out a way to spend more time with you.

you laugh softly and nod your head, “it’s open note so hopefully it’s not too bad, but good luck at your race! I’m sure you’ll do great.”

satoru’s bright blue eyes light up at your words, you could almost see the lightbulb forming atop his head, making you furrow your brows slightly in confusion.

“why don’t you come? to the race this weekend? are you busy?” the words tumble out his mouth in an unorganized jumble of excitement, he’s beaming at you with his bangs in his eyes, sunglasses barely balancing on the tip of his nose.

“oh i couldn’t, those tickets must be so expensive and i don’t wanna bother-” satoru is cutting you off with furrowed brows and a bewildered expression his face.

“you think I’d make you pay? don’t be silly,” he grins, “I’ll get you some good seats and maybe we can meet up after the race?” he can hear his heart beating in his ears. was he being insane? a little bit. did he care? not at all.

you bite your lip for a second, it’s not like you had an insane amount of work, plus the most attractive man you’d ever laid eyes on was asking you out to some crazy sporting event you’d only heard of in passing.

“okay yeah, i think i could squeeze it in my schedule” you grin, watching as the man across from you smile at you. he’s quick to ask for your information, immediately sending it off to whoever it was needed it and was informing you of all you needed to know.

“I told them to give you an extra ticket so you can bring a friend so you’re not too lonely waiting for me” the words make your face and ears heat up, trying to remain composed in front of him.

“well i guess I’ll see you sunday then?” the words make your stomach flip, wondering how he’d look like with his gear on.

“see you sunday” he smiles at you, waving goodbye as his phone buzzes for a second time, hurrying out of the coffee shop with his whole body buzzing from excitement.

you don’t fully process the entire interaction until you’re sitting in your apartment, phone lighting up from a new email.

Mercedes F1 team PR

Good afternoon! We are elated to send you two tickets to invite you to this weekends Grand Prix race! Below you will find all the information…

you open it quickly, reading the entire thing twice before you’re rolling onto your back and giggling uncontrollably, giddy beyond belief to see satoru again. your fingers itch to look him up, deciding against it and locking your phone as you try to continue on with your day.

sunday arrives quicker than you thought it would, your friend following you into the circuit as you try to figure out where to go next, looking around helplessly as you look down at your phone and at the map provided.

“are we supposed to go down there?” your friend points, both of you staring at each other blankly. the two of you wait for a second before looking around once more, taking a leap of faith and walking with confidence where you think you had to be.

your friend is much braver than you are, flagging down someone in a staff shirt and showing them the ticket, they’re quick to lead the two of you in the opposite direction, making you and your friend hold back laughter until you’re finally seated.

satoru was anxiously looking around, he wasn’t exactly sure where they had seated you, but he’d requested you be close to the garage, wanting to say hello before the race.

“you’re a lot more antsy than usual” the deep voice makes him look away from his phone. nanami kento, right hand man to Toto Wolff and next in line to take over the team principal position.

“I’ve got an important guest I’ve gotta impress” satoru replies quickly, putting his phone away and walking towards kento, “I’m gonna rack in some points today” he winks, making the blonde roll his eyes.

soon enough satoru is seated in the car and on the grid, mind completely focused on the race ahead, taking deep breaths as the red lights appear.

you couldn’t help but watch some race clips last night, figuring you should know some basics and not show up completely clueless. the videos, however, didn’t prepare you for how fast the cars truly were, engines sending vibrations to your chest and stands shaking as they raced by.

“and gojo overtakes hamilton! the rookie had a terrible qualifying yesterday, but seems as though he’s back in the game today” the announcers words blare through the speakers, chest blooming with pride as they talked up satoru.

you’re focused on the primarily black car, watching as he zooms past the stands at unbelievable speeds. your heart racing as he passes other drivers, cheering when he successfully overtook them.

satoru continues to climb up the ranks, cinching a position on podium; second place, sandwiched between verstappen and leclerc. he’s hopping out of the car and celebrating with his team, squeezing kento a bit tighter than the rest. his blue eyes are focused on the crowd as he waits his turn for the post race interview, trying to catch sight of you, mind racing as he wonders if you even came.

he smiles at charles as he passes him, walking up to the interviewer and answering the questions with generic answers ‘I’m beyond excited for the rest of the season’ and ‘I’m looking forward to the day i win my first Grand Prix’ along with thanking his support system and team before kindly thanking the interviewer and heading to the winners room before the podium ceremony.

satoru’s messy hair is covered by the Mercedes hat, taking it off and ruffling it a bit, sighing when he scans the crowd one last time and doesn’t make you out, turning around and closing the door behind him.

you only make it to the floor area moments after charles walks out, slightly out of breath as they call out satoru’s name.

the snowy haired racer is waving to the crowd, a semblance of a smile on his face as he stands on the podium, eyes still searching the crowd in one last feeble attempt to spot you.

satoru feels his heart skip a beat and face turn even redder as he locks eyes with you, a much more genuine smile on his face when he gives you a little wave.

you’re heart races as you make eye contact with the driver, adoring the way his cheeks flushed and skin looked honey like under the rays of the sunset. you smile and clap as he raises the trophy, pointing directly at the trophy then at you.

this one’s for you

maybe you’re a hopeless romantic, or maybe he’s just too hot and charming to not fall for, but you feel your heart giving in and walls crumbling as he shakes the large champagne bottle, dousing the other two until all three of them were dripping with champagne.

satoru finds you in the garage after 20 minutes, thanking his manager a hundred times over before walking up to you. his race suit only on from the waist down, black fireproof sticking to his body perfectly and snowy white hair tousled and wet from a mixture of champagne and sweat.

“you came” he says, making you nod and smile at him sweetly.

“why wouldn’t i? my favorite driver invited me” you reply.

satoru rolls his eyes and snickers, “im the only driver you know,” he watched you grin up at him sheepishly, “still you’re my favorite!”

“you did really good out there by the way” the words make him smile wider, biting his lip softly.

“yeah?” he asks, you nod your head, far too nervous to trust your voice as he looks at you, head too scrambled to figure out the emotion painted on his face as he looks at you. “good enough that you’d consider going on a date with me?”

it seems like it’s just the two of you in the busy garage as you smile up at him, tilting your head as you nod, “yeah I’d consider it.”

you think he looks almost angelic under the fluorescent lights in the garage, his white hair looks like a halo as you look up at him, pretty blue eyes a stark contrast against his fair skin and black uniform.

satoru thinks you look unbelievable, hair falling perfectly and voice sweet as honey as you talk to him, a saccharine smile on your lips just for him, the thought makes his knees buckle and brain stutter. he doesn’t care how whipped he looks as he takes you in, relishing in the moment before he speaks up.

“I’ll be off the clock next time,” he jokes, loving the way your giggles sounded. it feels like a relief off his shoulders, grinning widely as the two of you continued to talk.

“I’ve gotta get out of this uniform, but I’ll text you?” he looks down, biting his bottom lip as he fights a smile before looking back up at you, hoping you’d get the hint and give him your number.

you smile at him and tilt your head, “is that your way of asking for my number?” satoru blushes, smiling at you shyly and nodding his head, you can’t help but giggle as you grab a piece of paper and pen from the table besides you, scribbling your number and a smiley face. “here, don’t lose it.”

satoru grins, “i don’t lose.”

the sky is dark by the time you exit the garage, biting your lip and fighting back a smile as you meet up with your friend, finally heading home for the night. gushing about the interaction, reliving every moment and squealing at the memories.

when was the last time you’d felt this way? when was the last time you’d let your guard down so quickly for someone?

it was strange. the way your heart leapt when you saw him, the way your face flushed when he spoke to you and the way you felt so comfortable with him.

“maybe he’s your soulmate” you friend wiggled their brows at you, teasing you as you roll your eyes.

“or he’s putting up a front and he’s like every other guy” you shoot back, biting your lip. he felt, different. genuine.

“you don’t have to be so pessimistic! you never know he could be the man you spend your life with” they shrug their shoulders, smiling when you fall silent and hum.

you’re showered and in bed when your phone vibrates, a new text message from an unknown number.

satoru had spent an hour drafting the text, deleting it and typing it out again, removing and adding emojis until he forgot what he was even trying to say, starting over and groaning. when was the last time he was this nervous to text someone?

he can’t recall ever wanting to spend more time with someone the way he does with you. the though of love at first sight crosses his mind, making his face burn and dimples pop as he smiles.

hi it’s satoru ! thanks for coming to the race tonight , i hope i can see you again :)

his heart pounds against his chest as the three little dots appear on his screen, holding his breath when they disappear and reappear time and time again.

you continued to delete your text, trying to figure out how to word your text before finally biting the bullet and pressing send, heart racing as it says delivered, then read within the minute.

thanks for inviting me ! it was a lot of fun,, I’d love to see you again also :3

satoru squealed at the text, biting his lip before replying back, giggling at your every text and replying as fast as he could. the two of you texting back and forth until your eyes were too heavy to keep open, wishing him a goodnight. satoru was already pinching himself to stay awake, somewhat thankful you were also tired as he wished you goodnight, setting his phone down and falling asleep moment later, the faintest of smiles painted on his lips.

you grinned as you locked your phone, setting it down and biting your lip before squealing into your pillow. he wanted to see you again. you didn’t fight off the smile on your lips as your eyes fluttered shut, slowly falling asleep, then all at once, dreams filled with blue eyes and white hair and expensive, fast cars.

there’s no better place to find a lover than at a coffee shop on race weekend.

geto anon here: holy fuck i just know that oneshot would be amazing but no pressure obviously. but can i just ramble a lil bit here? ignore me if u want lmao ok so the whole thing with geto being a manager and apparently really good with strategies and stuff just made me imagine him as an engineer cause. idk why but i personally feel like it fits him. especially if we consider canonical geto whos so smart and talks a lot and explains things lmao like when he explains tengen to satoru that one time and satoru is like nod nod yea just like digimon. i love their dynamics way too much. and also the way geto was basically gojos moral compass and he told gojo to stop saying ore and start saying boku instead AND GOJO DID so im here imagining them in this au. for ur au 💀 where geto gets into being an engineer instead of a racer. it would honestly be funny just the two bickering and having different views on the strategy. i know basically nothing about racing and f1. but just yea the whole. geto coming up with strategies and gojo being pissed at first cause geto is so righteous and bossy but then they just fit together seamlessly and become the strongest duo. gojo the best racer and geto the best engineer and gojo is like. i would never trade my engineer for anyone. hes a big part of the reason i win at all. ill just quit if he does. and about geto being bitter. ur right it does depend on how u see him. in this case yes obviously if hes been a racer this whole time it would feel like hes downplaying himself to be smth else and let someone take the titles he wants. but yea just i feel like if that wasnt the case stsg would have really cool dynamics. and hopefully he would know the job of engineer is really important. he has got to value himself. also imagine them maybe dating/pining and then theyre working and having to be careful with what they say during the races cause it can be recorded and used against them. like theyll say some gay shit over the radio and try to downplay it afterwards 💀 idk its just cool to think about 😭 sorry for rambling but yea just i love ur fic and it makes me think a lot

hi again!!! EDIT; if u drop ur ao3 on an ask, anon, when/if i do write it ill gift it to you

yea id defo write it as a oneshot so id probably keep it (fairly) light .. if you've read ANY of my other works inc my longform banana fish then you'll know im not really capable of writing straight fluff lol

i think it largely depends on whether riko still dies and whether getou's dad still dies. could do something really evil with that lmao...

but aside from that im kind of a fan of stories being changed by One Thing Changing, that you think is gonna change the entire dna of a story because of how important it is, and then it fails to change anything important, in the end. because the characters are still the same and they still come to the same end. its a challenge as a writer to bring them to that point with a completely different route.

that being said id probs write it around 10-20k as a oneshot set aroooouuuund 2013. it would be interesting to see how much would change with getou being an engineer rather than a racer. (considering in coanda effect, he plays a key last-race role in both yuki's second championship and gojo's first).

i guess im making this at some point lmao i found my niche... also their dynamic is so yummy defo

#fic: coanda effect

I actually binged watch that netflix docu of formula 1 with my sister anddddddd guess what?

F1 AU of JJK that no one asked :)))))

Gojo Satoru and Getou Suguru used to be known as the fastests duo.

Their friendship ended cause of their contracts and stuff which also caused a great rift between them.

Though they do still see each other as friends but their rivalry is more prominent when they are seen together. Playfully making mean banthers infront of interviews and talking shit face to face but secretly they laugh it off and apologizes through texts.

Satoru's actually retired but comes back time and time again just to fuck with people. (like Miyazaki and his films) Also maybe prove a point that he's still the best which he always does.

When he do comes out from his so called "retirement", you bet everyone's shaking because: One, they have a chance to beat his ass. Two, he's always the world champion every time he does which is annoying. Three, he's a great racer that everyone looks up to and idolizes. Four, who doesn't want the bragging rights to beat his ass?

Why did he retire anyway? Cause he deemed himself too good that no one can beat him. Toji and Suguru were close but it wasnt enough. He also thought that he and Suguru being no longer a team wasn't fun. Their rivalry and friendship means the world to him and the fact that their management's contracts were disregarding his friend as second best hurt him. (He won't admit it though)

Also he wants to give others a chance cause he keeps being the world champion consecutively.

Suguru didn't like it one bit and even protested about his retirement but in the end he just accepted it.

Yaga is actually the principal of the team Satoru's under and Shoko's their leading engineer.

Shoko's a genuis that some teams even makes a deal with theirs just to get their hands on faster equipments.

Gakukanji and Yaga has this rivalry going on cause of their ideals on what it means to be a top team etc.

Toji is actually a legendary underdog racer who was disowned by the Zenin's (who are a family of racers, engineers and mechanics) and won 3 world champions in a row just to show their faces.

After a serious injury he had to stop though cause he didnt want his wife and kids to worry. Truly a family man. (Tsumiki is his adoptive kid who's mother became MIA and Megumi seemed to be attached to her growing up so Mamagumi begged him to take her in)

Megumi and Yuji are the new duo of the sister team Satoru's under in.

Yuji is a very aggressive driver that he keeps breaking his car during tests and qualifyings much to his team's dismay. Although he makes it up by listening to their instructions and trying to reach the P10 mark just so they could get points.

He also apologizes a lot and the team can't help but forgive him because of how genuine and adorable he is.

Megumi on the other hand is a calm driver with fast reflexes thanks to his dad's genes. Always the lucky kid that never got hit when a car crashes or debris flying in the course.

He makes sure to make it to the needed quota of being a part of the P10 even if there's a problem with his car's engine. Points matter so he does his best to be a team player. (Plus Yuji is already causing so much trouble)

Although sometimes he even suprises himself that he wins first places and doesn't realize that he actually has potential to be a world champion. (Until Satoru had to give him the idea and the possibility)

Always seen with his two dogs on the course that all the inteviewers and photographers would always ask for them when they dont see them beside the boy. Also probably has a fan account for his dogs alone.

The interviewers would even forget about asking Megumi stuff cause they got too distracted by his adorable pupps. Works every time.

Maki is the new underdog that also got disowned by the Zenins cause of their misogny. Saying that girl's can't race and other stupid shit.

She's very calculative and rivals Toji's fast reflexes. So whenever unexpected crashes happen, you'll see her avoiding it quickly and manouver her way back. Her favorite course by the way would be in Monaco.

The area there is small and has a lot of curves that's leaves no room for error and its very thrilling for her. Its her turf and she always win first place in that track.

Her partner is Nobora who makes a very dangerous combi once they sync up. You'll see them pressuring racers to the corner as their car pass by them. Its very scary and exhausting to their competitors.

Yuji actually got bullied by them once and Nobora was relentless not letting him reach their quota points while letting Maki pass easily.

Though Nobora would always give a higher spot to Maki whenever their place are close cause she thinks she deserves all the recognition with how the Zenin's treated her and Mai.

Mai on the other hand is one of the pit crews that makes the fastests pit stops. Even though she didnt want to be a part of the racing shennanigans, she'll do it for Maki. (She'll say bitterly that she hates Maki but she actually loves her and would do anything for her dreams.)

Mimiko and Nanako is a part of Suguru's new team. They had always looked up to him since they were kids and now they are a part of his team which is dream come true for them.

Suguru also thinks of them as his kids cause of how adorably enthusiastic they are with racing. You'll probably see them curled up to him sleeping after a long winding race cause of how tired everyone are. (Even though they should be partying and drinking.)

Sukuna (lets go with him and Yuji being twins) is actually a part of a different team and is always at the top cause of how good he is which causes comparison between him and Yuji.

He's the type of dude who gets bored at after parties and would rather be racing just for that sweet adrenaline rush.

Sometimes you'll see him hovering at the mechanics and engineers menacingly, demanding his car to be appropriate to his standards and taste or else.

Talks shit a lot on interviews but is actually quiet if you see him around the course. (Probably judging everyone)

Mahito isn't a racer but the mechanic of Sukuna's team. He has a beef with another mechanic, Nanami Kento, who is on Yuji's team.

He would always rub it in their face with a shit eating grin whenever Sukuna wins.

Kento? Doesnt care. He's too immune from Satoru. He's more concerned for the safety of the two kids his handling than to fight stupid battles.

So instead he makes it up by doing his best to support his team and when it pays off he'll return the insults back to Mahito. "So what did you say about me again?"

Though there is this one time that Nanami and Mahito got so drunk that they ended up fist fighting in the middle of the after party. It was so unexpected that everyone was so stunned.

Megumi was shocked that he just pulled his phone out and recorded everything. Nobora uploaded it online, Maki was cheering, Sukuna was enjoying every second of it while Yuji was trying to stop it.

In the end, Mahito lost cause he didn't expect the nerdy straight laced looking mechanic was actually jacked.

Anyway Choso is Sukuna's partner (in this AU he's also his brother being Yuji's twin and all) he's mostly temperamental and calm but once something happens to his siblings, shit's about to go down. The aggression of this guy is unparalleled.

When Yuji and Sukuna's car crashed. A switch flipped in his head and just went over drive in the course. You'll hear him curse a lot to his team and as well as Yuji's, demanding what the happpened to his brothers car and asking if they were okay.

He'll do his best to quickly finish the laps just to see if his brothers were okay. Even though Yuji and Sukuna had already communicated that they were alright and doing fine, that stuff like that happens.

My dude wouldn't even realize he won the race. He'll be too busy doting on his brothers asking if they're alright and if there were any serious injuries.

He's the type of person who's more happy if the race was fair with no crashes or bullshit happening cause everyone deserves the chance at the podium. Especially how hard working every team put just to get a place.

Will quickly apologize for his behavior to his team with utter nonchalance. (They're used to his stoic face and monotone voice that they know when its sincere or not)

Was actually the person who inspired Yuji and Sukuna to start racing. Sukuna was all stuck up about it. Saying stuff like "I can do better than him." or "That's a stupid mistake" At the same time though he was thinking of ways he can be faster than Choso, more efficient and not fuck up a car that badly. But deep down he wont ever admit Choso looked cool.

Yuji was actually reluctant cause of the dangers the sport faces and how many times Choso warned the two about it but when he saw Megumi race once it just clicked. He wanted the a taste. Nobora, of course saw the twinkle in his eyes and said "Just do it." Which caused the gear on his head to actually move and solidify his want to follow his brothers footsteps.

HONDA LEAVES F1: FIVE BOLD PREDICTIONS

Honda are taking another hiatus from F1, opting to have a break from the sport at the end of it’s current deal with Red Bull and Alpha Tauri, but what’s next for them, their drivers and the teams they supply?

Tsunoda will be left in No Man’s Land

The big winners from this announcement are current Alpha Tauri driver Daniil Kvyat and reserve driver Sergio Sette Camara, who may now face less competition for a seat in the junior team as the main backing behind F2 racer Yuki Tsunoda getting a seat was Honda wanting a Japanese driver in the sport.

Without Honda’s influence Red Bull will once again have full control over the four race seats they possess on the grid and can put whichever drivers they like in there.

Tsunoda has had a decent season in F2 but far from the standout campaigns of Ilott, Schumacher and Shwartzman (even though he’s fallen away of late) having lost a win in the Styrian Feature Race thanks to a faulty radio, picking up a lucky win at Silverstone after the leaders collided and then dominating at Spa, his fortune at Silverstone being the main reason he’s still in the hunt for the title.

His title race may still be on but, he will surely have to win it now to make an impression on Dr. Marko, and with a current 44-point deficit to overturn with just two rounds remaining its looking like a tough ask. In addition to the big black marks against his name for failing to score in either race in Austria, Hungary and Mugello, he may outrank Kvyat who’s days seem numbered, but won’t do the same to Sette Camara so it’ll be a case of close, but just not enough seats available.

Next Stop: Formula E

Honda mentions specifically about developing Carbon Neutral and Battery EV technology in this morning’s press release.

These are two things heavily linked and related to Formula E, with its battery-powered electric racing, and its vow to become the first carbon neutral sport, which is now a reality.

The series became the first sport to achieve a certified net zero carbon footprint in its efforts to combat climate change last month, and it shows how serious the championship takes this and how much of an attractive prospect it’s becoming having already captured: Audi, Porsche, BMW, Nissan, Jaguar, DS and Mercedes – with the Silver Arrows the only team on that list that currently competes in F1.

Honda will want to develop this new technology and go and race its direct competitors in Formula E, rather than hanging around in F1, failing to dislodge the monopoly Mercedes has on the sport.

Red Bull & Alpha Tauri will go back to Renault

Mercedes and Ferrari certainly aren’t going to want to start providing a title rival with an engine deal that could see them beaten using their own power.

That leaves both teams with only one option, heading back to Renault with their tail between their legs to heal the wounds created by their previous split, in the hope of striking up a new deal.

That is unless someone new comes in at very late notice, Porsche have been sniffing around for a while, and it was revealed that they did have a test engine built for a 2021 entry – however they were unable to strike a deal with all the other suppliers about abandoning the MGU-H component.

With only potentially 18 months until the start of the 2022 season that doesn’t leave long for the development of the abandoned engine plans, and they already have a works in Formula E to concentrate on…

They’ll be gone for a while

Honda plans, according to their press release, seem set until achieving Carbon Neutrality in 2050, and F1 doesn’t seem part of those plans in any form. This hints that they could be gone for a while, having been absent from the sport between 2009-2014, 1993-1999 (even though Mugen remained) and 1969-1982.

You can expect this break to be as long as the latter as the company looks ahead to developing battery and carbon neutral technologies, which are involved in F1, but to a lesser extent than somewhere such as Formula E.

This difference in priorities could lead to a lengthy split, until F1 can agree a new set of principles which fall more in-line with the ones the Honda board has already agreed on.

Opportunities for Japanese drivers will become limited again

Nobuharu Matsushita, Nirei Fukuzumi and Tadasuke Makino have all made it to F2 in recent years but have been unable to any further with their single seater careers, in fact the latter two have had to scamper back to the Super Formula to continue their racing journeys.

Whilst it’s unknown what will currently happen to Tsunoda and countryman Marino Sato (who isn’t backed) the support of a Japanese company such as Honda to help their careers progress is pivotal if they want to make the step up to Formula 1, but without them involved in the top level of motorsport, any form of backing is incredibly unlikely, especially without Toyota involved either.

In fact, Tora Tokagi is the last Japanese driver to make it through to F1 without the backing of either manufacturer (although he was hugely backed by Satoru Nakajima, who was Honda-affiliated before retirement) and he left the grid after just two hopeless seasons in 1998-99.

Every single Japanese driver to have raced in F1 this century has had significant backing behind them before entering the sport, and without either company competing in the sport, it’s unlikely we’ll see another for a while, especially with the limited seats on the grid…

What do you think will happen next for the likes of Red Bull, Alpha Tauri and Yuki Tsunoda? Let me know!
