Passion Hurts Pt 1 - LN

Summary: Y/n Vettel has made it to F3, pressure is there being one of the only girls and the younger sister of a legend leaves her feeling pressure she hoped to avoid. Dating an F1 driver doesn't help with the scrutiny. However, reality likes to slap people in the face even when it's the last thing they need.

Lando Norris x little sister Vettel!Reader

Part 2 is up!

Warnings: Crash, career altering event, Lando in complete meltdown mode

(I know this gif is Stroll at Monza, but it's a similar crash to what the crash in the story is going to be)

"This is the first time you're going to be openly out and support y/n, are you excited to be watching her race?" Sky sports asks as Lando sits in the F1 press conference.

"Yeah, I can't wait. I think Spa is always an interesting race. She's been here before, although it was in a much slower race."

"And how is she feeling?"

"I mean you should really be asking her." Lando laughs then shrugging. "She's excited. Really excited. I'm mean she's sitting second in the F3 championship and there's only two races left for them including Spa. I think it's certainly looking promising. I'm proud of her regardless and I know her family is too."

Lando made sure to go down to y/n in the pit lane. It's still a while till she needs to be in the car and y/n is talking to her engineer ahead of the race.

Her body adorned in the white fireproofs on her upper half and the Prema red racing suit. Which he just loves seeing her in, mainly because all he can think about is race celebrations which consist of getting her out of that suit. Although he has voiced several times that he strongly believes that she'd suit papaya much better.

"Hello, baby." Lando greets making her turn looking at him with a bright smile.

"Hi." Y/n smiles but when it doesn't reach her eyes, Lando frowns at her.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Nothing's wrong. I just...feeling a bit of the nerves." Y/n smiles nervously before none other than her older brother appears.

"You have nothing to worry about, these cars are much safer than when I drove them." Seb smiles while inspecting the car as Lando hugs the 20 year old tightly. She's on the older end of the spectrum of the F3 drivers, but it's no surprise with her being a woman that she had to wait longer to make such an achievement.

"Easy for a world championship to say." Y/n murmurs making Seb look at his significantly younger sister. "Sorry, I didn't mean it like that."

"You are going to be great, you could easily be a champion of F3 and then of F2 and be the first woman in modern F1." Seb states earning a look of little faith but they all know if it wasn't pre-race nerves kicking in, she'd agree with him. "I will leave you with Lando, hopefully he can talk some sense into you. I need to go make sure I have the best seat to watch from."

Lando waits for Seb to leave, knowing that Seb prefers to dodge seeing Lando kiss her because it triggers his older brother complex.

"What's wrong baby? Why are you so nervous?" Lando asks softly making her sigh and look up at him swallowing thickly. "What is it?"

"I'm just feeling some pressure after that stupid headline from Sky about me being in the top two." Y/n admits slumping a little.

Sky had been giving headlines to grab attention and "Vettel's little sister to attempt outliving his shadow, will she succeed?" was one that got a lot of attention and has meant during her time here at Spa there's been a lot more fussing over her than previous races.

"Hey, don't worry about the media. They'll write whatever they want and thing that they're doing the best thing with their time. But they're not."

"Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I'll be fine. Now you need to go so I can get into race mindset with no distractions."

"I'm a distraction?" Lando fake gushes as she laughs and rolls her eyes at him. "Alright, love you. Good luck. I'll be there to congratulate your P1 at the finish line."

"Don't get cocky, I'll see you later. Love you too." Y/n smiles kissing him quickly before she moves away from him back to her very patient engineer.

Lando sitting next to Sebastian Vettel while they both watch y/n was never a situation Lando imagined himself in. But here he is and he couldn't be happier.

"I think she'll win, you know? I saw her practicing Spa on the simulator and she was getting times that you'd never expect from an F3 car."

"She doesn't realise it, but she is better than I was at her age." Seb admits despite knowing he had his seat in Torro Rosso when he was 20.

It's the sprint race and qualifying went pretty well. She's done enough to get P3 for a start. Across 12 laps, she could easily get herself into P1. So long as her nerves don't get the better of her.

After the formation lap, Lando sort of holds his breath for lights out and when the race starts. He feels his body buzz as she immediately manages to get into P2 by turn 1.

"Come on, baby." Lando murmur to himself when she peaks around too look for the opportunity to over take. She's got the drive and skill.

"She'll get it. It's not the last lap don't worry." Seb states from beside the younger man who smiles since he knows Seb isn't wrong.

It's the 10th lap when y/n finally goes for the overtake and it couldn't have a worse outcome if they had wished for it. Her car ends up airborne when the other driver makes a last second manoeuvre catching her tyre. The front wing digs into the ground suddenly and she is flipping around still in the air as she hits the barrier.

It feels like it happens in slow motion but no one can react fast enough. No gasp of horror comes out fast enough. No standing up as if it will let them see better.

The hushed whispers around the paddock, scared to voice what they're all thinking. Y/n just died doing what she loved. But she died too young. She died with too little experience and not enough time to prove herself. She died and didn't even get to see the end of the race.

"Red flag. Red Flag." The engineers to those who are still in the race are the main voices heard. "Respect the delta...It's y/n."

Lando and Seb are both at the pit wall demanding to know what's going on, though Lando is significantly more aggressive than Seb.

"We're not getting a response on the radio." The engineer states to the team principle.

"You-You're not getting a response at all? Keep trying!" Lando exclaims before feeling Seb's hand on his shoulder to try and calm him but it does nothing to distinguish his outrage.

"Lando, the medics are on their way. The marshals are trying to help." Lando is reassured. "She'll be going to the hospital straight from here."

Lando and Seb follow the ambulance but even waiting for any news is like trying to get water from a stone. No one is telling them anything. Though Lando isn't even considered next of kin meaning that the nurses won't directly tell him anything, instead they tell Seb who passes it onto Lando.

"Mr Vettel?" A doctor questions finally appearing making Seb stand but when Lando stands with him Seb finally decides he doesn't want to be the one who passes on information.

"He should be hearing all of this too." Seb states sternly earning a slightly uneasy expression but she nods.

"Y/n has some serious injuries that...she'll take a while to recover from. Her ribs did break and she punctured a lung which required emergency surgery and the other is showing signs of severe damage. There's hairline fractures in her spine from several shunts of impact. She's still unconscious but her CT scan showed that she certainly has signs of a very severe concussion. Though we won't know the extent of it all until she's awake."

"That's a lot. that's a hell of a lot. Why are you talking like these are minor things not to worry about? This could change her life forever." Lando states getting louder and louder before he storms away not able to contain his emotion any longer and needing air.

Seb gives him a couple minutes to cool off before going out.

"Lando, you have to get back to the paddock for your own part of the weekend. I will make sure you are the first to know, but you know she wouldn't forgive you for missing anything." Seb assures him while reminding him that y/n not only wants Lando to put F1 first but expects no less from him.

"I don't care if it's mid-sprint shootout or mid-sprint race. I want an update sent to me and I'll be back here as soon as it's all done." Lando states earning a small nod and smile from the older man. Though Seb can't entirely hide his fear and concern for his little sister.

Seb has had his crashes and race incidents, but nothing like this. Nothing that has landed him with such injuries, in fact he's hardly even required the medics attention.

Lando's return to the hospital consists of him not uttering a word after getting out his car. He finished 5th in the sprint and took part in the debrief via phone on the way to the hospital.

His team understand the seriousness of why he's not following the usual routine.

Seb is talking to a groggy looking y/n when Lando walks in and feels an overwhelming slap of emotion at the sight of knowing she's ok. A little bruised and maybe more exposed thanks to the tubes and wires laid around her.

"Oh shift handover." Y/n jokes with her voice nearly unrecognisable with exhaustion and a croakiness that almost lowers her voice. "I'm ok."

"She is not. She is lying for your benefit but I will tell your the truth. She is in a lot of pain and they can make her comfortable but it would probably knock her out and she wanted to see you. So she said she'd deal with it." Seb states while pulling on his jacket then turning to y/n and sighing as he leans down to kiss either of her cheeks. "If it gets too painful, please get a nurse or doctor."

"I will. I promise." Y/n smiles before she is left with Lando who is still verging on tears. "Maybe I'm not ok, but I'm alive."

"You are. You are alive. I'm so so so fucking happy that you're ok." Lando states breathlessly as he sits down taking her hand carefully since there is an IV in the back of her hand. "I think everyone thought we'd lost you."

"I remember it...I tried to reply on the radio but it hurt to breathe. Then I guess I passed out from the pain." Y/n murmurs, then leaning back and shifting as she seems to feel a new wave of pain. "It's a couple months of recovery...guess I've lost the championship."

"How's your back?" Lando asks making her sigh.

"It hurts. They said it's essentially a lot of little cracks in most parts of my spine. I don't know exactly what I wasn't really listening." Y/n states while Lando nods. "How did the sprint go?"

"I got P5."

"That's not too bad...given I know you would've been ready to drop the whole race entirely for me. I'm glad you didn't." Y/n smiles but a sudden twinge of pain strikes making Lando decide while he wants to speak to her for hours to settle the feeling of momentary grief that he felt when she crashed.

"I'm getting a nurse to get you something for the pain. You need to rest anyway." Lando declares while she sighs softly to herself.

"I'll be at the race to watch you tomorrow."

"No, baby. You need to stay here." Lando states earning a frown but he just kisses her softly to keep her quiet. "I won't be long."

Y/n shoots him a smile before he leaves and she lies back closing her eyes to try and relax her body from the pain that is making her bones scream at every movement.

"Hi, sweetie. I hear you're finally going to give your body a break? She was determined to wait it out for you." The nurse states turning to Lando as she speaks. "I'm glad you're in a better mood."

Y/n frowns at Lando who just smiles awkwardly clears while she looks at him in some disapproval.

Once y/n has been relieved of her pain, the exhaustion really did kick in and she is completely exhausted. Lando sighs seeing her completely pass out.

"She will be ok."

"I know, she's the strongest woman I've ever met." Lando admits softly earning a smile and a pat on the shoulder. "Is there any point I have to leave?"

"No. You can stay as long as you need. Although I was told by Mr Vettel that you do have an important event tomorrow and you need to be well rested."

"I'll make sure I get some sleep."

"I'll set up the sofa bed for you, lovely. I'd say you could lie with her but with her injuries, it's just for the best that she lie on her own till she's better recovered." The nurse states earning a nod.

As accurately predicted, y/n couldn't get out of hospital short of another lung collapse. Though she promised she'd be watching the race from her hospital bed with Seb there to accompany her.

"So P7 after an understandably hard weekend. I spoke to Seb earlier after he was apparently given the ok from y/n to make a statement to the public. Those are some nasty injuries." The Sky reporter states as Lando does his post race interviews. "It is the summer break after this, will you just be spending time with y/n and helping during her recovery?"

"I'll definitely be trying." Lando states while frowning since he hates talking about her crash already.

"We saw you were watching with Sebastian and we saw you at the pit wall looking very angry. What was happening that had you so upset?"

"They were just saying she wasn't responding and I guess I wasn't accepting that. I didn't want to think that the worst possible outcome was what happened." Lando explains before shifting. "She's really not well right now and it's definitely going to be a hard recovery, but she's alive and that's what matters for me. I definitely needed her to be able to see and speak to her again."

They ask a few questions about his race before he heads off or the debrief where the whole team can tell he's struggling to focus, texting Seb and y/n about plans for when she can discharge. She'll be there for at least another week before she can at least leave the hospital. Nevermind consider the matter of how she'd get back to Monaco.

"Lando, you get going for the day." Andrea instructs making Lando look up in confusion. "Go on, y/n needs you more than you need to be here right now."

"Thanks. Thanks boys for everything today. I'll see you soon. Enjoy the break." Lando smiles standing up and heading out.

He probably gets to the hospital with some speed limits ignored, but there's some things that are just more important.

Seb does send a message to Lando requesting him to stop by any store or to-go food places to grab some stuff that he thinks y/n would really like. Which does make his journey only ever so slightly longer.

"Hey, beautiful." Lando greets when he walks in for meal time and the expression on y/n's face is easily some cause for concern.

"Oh thank god, another shift swap. She will not eat." Seb exclaims clearly frustrated with his younger sister who looks at him with a frown.

"It hurts to eat." Y/n argues sounding only slightly better than the other day. It's then that it dawns on Lando that she sounded so different yesterday because of the pain she was in.

"They have said she needs to eat if her body is going to work to heal." Seb sighs while Lando nods and sighs mumbling that he'll try and that Seb can get his hotel.

"You know why you won't eat this stuff?" Lando sighs while placing the bag down by the side of the bed while she swallows thickly thinking she's about to be lectured. "It's because hospital food always sucks. Lucky for you, your brother knows this and made sure I picked up some food that you will actually like before you

"You are the best...and I'll thank Seb later." Y/n smiles brightly while Lando carefully begins to unload the bag of food.

"No problem." Lando nods while she smiles brightly at him.

Lando was sleeping in the hospital despite still having his hotel room. After 10 days y/n finally got discharged, flying back to Monaco to stay with Lando since Lando didn't give her much other options to go anywhere else.

There's already a doctor due to be waiting for them when they land just as a precaution for her. Something that Lando is really trying to dodge.

"Are you sure you're comfortable?" Lando asks as she sits down.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She nods then smiling at him just to give him some well needed reassurance.

Belgium to Monaco isn't the longest flight in the world but he's fussing and wants to make sure she's completely alright.

"Can I cuddle you yet?" Lando asks softly after a while of being in the air which makes y/n chest thump in guilt. She hasn't rejected him but knowing he's been holding himself back from really touching her in fear of causing her pain.

"Of course you can. The doctor said I should be fine so long as I'm not overexerting myself. I don't think a cuddle with my boyfriend counts."

"Well so long as it's not leading to anything else." Lando smirks while she looks at him deadpanned and rolls her eyes. "It's not. I promise, even if I know you can't resist me."

"Idiot." Y/n laughs before smiling when he moves to hug her, being careful of the position and how tightly he's holding her. Really he wants to smother her with love. But that's just going to make matters worse, so it's not on the cards.

"Are you comfortable? Not in pain?"

"No. I'm alright." Y/n smiles kissing his head which does make an ache shoot down her back but she hides any sign of the pain.

platonic! f1 grid x gen z! driver! reader who just got into f1 but they win a pole position on their debut race and everyones freaking out bcs she won a pole position and maybe the crowd is super pissed even tho she rly deserved it and theyre all mocking / booing her angst to comfort ⁉️

♪ — 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗨𝗣 f1 grid [platonic] x gen z! fem! driver! reader (comfort) “. . . you score high on your debut but fans don't like winners”

( masterlist ) ( requests | taglist )

"Let's groove tonight! Share the spice of life. Baby slice it right. We're gonna groove tonightttttttttttt." You sang happily through the radio as you completed your cool down lap. After learning the way of the car in FP1 and FP2 and studying the track through FP3, you were able to make it to Q3 where you claimed Pole Position.

"And that is, f3 and f2 champion, L/N on pole for her debut race." You heard through the stadium speakers, headbanging and dancing slightly in your seat to the music playing in your head. "Let this groove, light up your fuse, it's alright, alright, alright, oh wowe! Let this groove set in your shoes, so stand up, alright, aaaaaaalright."

You got out of the car, dancing with yourself out of excitement. As you gently took your helmet and balaclava off, a hoard of loud distasteful noises came into contact with your ears once you took off the ear buds. Your excitement died down as you looked at the stadium and the crowds confused.

In the the corner of your eyes you saw Max Verstappen shake his finger and head no. "Who are they- ?" Your question was cut off with the answer. "Fuck you, Y/N." The crowed said infusion making you feel your heart drop between feet. Your face fell from one of happiness, confidence, and excitement to one of fear.

"Don't let them get to your head." Lewis Hamilton wrapped an arm around your shoulder pulling you away from the masses. This was nowhere near what you expected. They sang insults strung to your name and you could only plug your ears, the name your parents gave you felt tainted and stained.

Despite being pulled away, you looked back watching the source of hate with an expression of hurt. "Hey!" You averted your head to the four time world champion. "That was amazing driving over there." Sebastian Vettel ( your hero ) patted your back comfortingly. "Ignore them, your performance is too good for them and they're scared from you." You could only nod.

You sat in a chair outside your garage, watching as your team worked on the car for tomorrow. "Hey kid." Charles crouched down beside you, giving you his famous kind and warm smile. "You doing alright?" "Mhm." You nodded in reply returning his smile. Although still suffering from shock, Lewis and Seb had comforted you and shouted insults back for you ( finding you too innocent and small to swear ).

"I'm ready to go to war." Carlos came up from behind you, his hands on his hips with a frustrated look on his face. "You can't take all of them on, mate." Charles shook his head, sighing. "Watch me. Lets go, Y/N." Carlos rolled up his sleeves, dragging you along.

"Not without me." Max caught up to the trio. He was on his way to offer you a talk over a can of red bull, but the Ferrari boys beat you to him. "Cheers." He clinked his can with yours when he was finally able to give it to you.

The four of you were standing in front of the stadium of haters from the track. Carlos took your free hand 'teaching' you how to flip them off. Charles only watched interested, drinking from his water bottle alongside the red bull driver. "You think PR is going to have a hard time cleaning this mess up." Max looked at you, who was slowly gaining your confidence back with each insult you should in return.

"They're going to have a field day, mate." Charles sighed, watching you and Carlos dance together. Although this was your first time spending time with this certain collection of drivers, this was already your favourite group, one where you could feel comfortable being yourself.

Sitting in between Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso in the post qualifying press conference, you felt a little tense being one of the only women in the room and the only one with all the attention. "What do you think about the fans' reaction about Y/N getting pole."

"I think it's stupid." Kimi replied bluntly, shrugging. "I think they're scared." Fernando affirmed chuckling. "They are, they wouldn't be booing her otherwise." Kimi agreed nodding. "Y/N has a lot of potential as a driver. They know what she's capable of, and that's- that's very scary." Ferando completed laughing.

You were sitting in between the two men, a blush and a happy smile covering your face as you looked at down at your fiddling fingers. "Y/N are you looking forward to starting the race tomorrow from P1?"

"Who- Me? Uhhh . . . to be honestly, I want to put up a fight against someone, you know. I've always dreamt about winning a battle for P1." You nodded, your pink happy face grinning widely.

Maybe you should've held back a little because you were feeling pressured by all the drivers behind you. Sitting in your car at the starting grid, you felt like a goat that is going to be chased by wolves. "Relax kid, you'll be ok." Looking up from inside your car, you saw Lando who had stopped by to wish you luck.

"I'll be seeing you on the Podium, Y/N. Have a safe race." Pierre cheered as he passed by, giving you a wide smile and a wave. To say you were feeling giddy was fair, you sang songs with your team members while you waited for the race prep. "It's fun to stay at the-" "Y - M - C - A." You heard someone singing with you, your turned around in your car looking at the source of noise.

"Young man young man, are you listening to- oh sorry, Y/N." Yuki apologized once he realized you stopped singing and were looking at him. You could only laugh continuing to sing with him.

And when the time came, you were smiling as you watched the masses boo you. Throwing them the middle finger in return, the eternity of the grid copying you.

"It's lights out, and away we go!"

Part 2 of f1 drivers and their weird relationships with each other

Yeah I’m sorry, so…

-but Seb had a weird thing with Charles, because Seb was a big thing and Charles has daddy issues, and Charles also has always had a thing with Pierre because they are childhood best friends and everyone falls in love with Charles, but then Pierre developed a weird relationship with Yuki, who was literally sitting on his lap and talking about being like girlfriend and boyfriend on videos when they were teammates, but now Pierre has a weird toxic thing with Esteban, because they have always kinda hated each other but now they’re teammates so forced proximity, and Pierre also could’ve had a thing with Max, because I think Max is incapable of not falling a little bit in love with his teammates, and then Max also maybe had a weird toxic thing with Esteban, since they’ve also never liked each other and at one point max kinda wanted to choke him, but Esteban has always kinda had a thing with Lance, since they’ve always been very good friends, but then Lance would literally fall to his knees for Fernando, because he has daddy issues, or Seb, because he has daddy issues, and Seb maybe had a thing with Nico H when they were younger, because they’ve known each other for a long time, and Nico H and Kevin definitely slept together at least once, since Kevin literally told him to suck his balls on live television, and Nico H also might’ve had a thing with Daniel, when they were teammates at Renault, and Daniel had a weird night with Charles, since they went to Vegas together in 2019 and refuse to tell us what happened, and Daniel could’ve had a thing with Lando, cause they have a similar vibe and were teammates at mclaren, and Lando has a cute little thing with Max, because they’re very close, and Max also has a thing for Martin Garrix, cause they’ve been friends for a long time and look at each other like they want to get married, and then Max introduced Martin to Lando and now Lando and Martin look at each other like they want to get married, Daniel is in that mess too, and Lando also has a thing with the other Max, Max F, who has been his close friend for years and who lived with him for a long time, guess who also lived together when they were in f3, Niki and James, who probably had the weirdest thing going on…

#posting this like way too close to the other one cause I missed so many and bro I could keep going #formula one #max verstappen #charles leclerc #daniel ricciardo #formula 1 #lando norris #f1 #carlos sainz #lewis hamilton #Pierre Gasly #and whoever else idk #Yukierre #piarles #and the rest lol

(Un)Lost: The art of war

Pairing: F12022/3!Grid! x Fem!Driver!Oc

Warnings: DNF’s, angst, a little bit of love, episodes of anxiety, Seb’s retirement, harsh words.

DRIVE TO SURVIVE SEASON 5 - EP. 1 THE NEW ERA

“It’s freezing in here” I said while I was puting my cap in my head, my Williams cap, ready to sit in the famous black chair of Netflix. “Thank you Netflix for make this possible, Bahrain is being cooking itself now” The producer chuckle.

“So, we’re going to let you introduce you and then make you a few questions. Everything clear?”

“Sure” I look for a better position in the chair and look to the camera “My name is Charlotte Robyn-Jones and I’m engineer strategist for Williams Racing Formula One Team” I said with a smile on my face. I saw the people in the back laugh and I copy the action

“You can’t lie to Netflix, kid”

“I think I just did ... Anyway, 1, 2, 3, Monday to Friday, My name is Charlotte Robyn-Jones, I’m 23 and I’m a race driver for Williams Racing Formula One Team” I tilt my head to one side and laugh “Cool”

“So cool. What’s for you to be at the top of the game right now?, obviously avoiding the question that you must be bored about”

“Being a woman is fantastic, except for that thing every month but I can’t complain. I have to say that it’s not easy. You can dream of some things happening but all the same time, If you really wanted, the answer is get up and look for your better options to make things happen.” I gassped and look down and to the camera. “I remenber when I told my dad that I wanted to give it a try in karting and I wasn’t even 6, he looked at me like I was some sort of silly muppet but then he make me promise that I will do great in school and then he will help me with the racing carreer I wanted. The rest is history”

A series of videos of her carreer show up, from her beginning in karts, F4, F3 and her successfull 2021 in F2 finishing as champion, smiling faces all around and obviously a very proud Charlotte.

“You just mention your dad. What about other members in your family? Friends or even a boyfriend?” I look at the producer with a side smile

“You guys are really something else, right?” they laugh “I’m single ready to mingle. I don’t talk to much about my family, I like to be private about that. I almost dropped all this. My family is my priority and two years ago I lost my mom due cancer so...”

“I’m sorry we don’t...”

“No, it’s okay” I smiled to the camera “She’s not here but I still talk about her like she’s just in the back of the house screaming to the dog for being so silly, she’s still here and I know she’s proud”

“Sure she is. Just to finish ... Any expectations for your team. Everybody wanted to see you in a bigger team like Mercedes or Ferrari, did you hear any rumors about that?”

“Well, certanly I did hear, but the thing is, mmm, I always believe that If you wanna prove yourself is better to start from the very bottom, understand the little things and then you’ll find success, almost glory. Being in this sport is so tricky, like, one day you won in Monaco and the next day you’re out of the points or feeling that all your pasion is going out to your body” I see everybody’s faces like I was saying something fascinating “This is sport is like war, you better watch out your back ‘cause even your own team could kill you.”

“So, this is your year to discover yourself?”

“Yes, my bingo card this year will imply me being playing the art of war that is F1″

“Okay Charlotte, this is all for today. We’ll see you along the year”

“Thanks and don’t spill my secrets. Snitches end up in ditches, they say”

I go out of the room straight to the Williams garage. Sure thing is that this year is going to be wild, after what happened last year between Red Bull and Mercedes, man, I really don’t want to be any member of those teams.

“Hello Ms. Jones, everything all right with Netflix?” My PR, Ava asked. She was in Alex side of the garage talking to other people

“Yeah, they’re like school girls” She laugh

“Yeah, sometimes. Today is media day so since you’re ready with your Williams merch, we can start signing some caps and cards and then continue with your schedule. Or do you want to start with press?”

“Up to you really, better doing the easiest first then I’ll face the sharks” We walk to a conference room when I found Alex with his girlfriend and his PR. Last year I met the girl in a tournament in the UK and we have been really close since then.

“Oh hello you, my girl and my boy rocking together this year” Lily said and hug me, while Alex put a false angry face

“Nice to see you Lily and yes, we’re going to rock or better than that” I said she smack Alex shoulder

“See, I tould you she has spirit!”

“I know, I think that everybody saw that video of her running along the track after her win in last year championship”

That video.

Well, you don’t win F2 championship many times in your life, right?

“I don’t know what are you talking about”

“Everybody know you do”

“Shh” I sit next to the pile of merch with my face on it. It’s 9:45 so I have time ‘till lunch and more interviews.

INTERVIEW ROOM @14:20

W/ Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel

“Don’t be nervous, ok? I’m not gonna tell what to answer, you’re smart so answer like a pro”

“Like a pro? So I can say <<inchident>> or even ask about the interviewers plans for the summer?” I showed Ava a side smiled

“Please don’t and you’re going to be in between, your name is on the sofa” I enter the room and saw the amount of people organized in the back of the room with notepads, cameras and tricky looks.

“So, welcome everybody to the second session here in Bahrain, we are here with Lando Norris from McLaren, Carlos Sainz from Ferrari, Charlotte Jones from Williams, Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes and Sebastian Vettel from Aston Martin. Welcome to the drivers, we’re going to have a round of questions for this sesion, if that’s ok” I look at the others who nod.

“Hello, this question is for Charlotte” Great. “We want to hear your first impresions of your new team, if you have the chance to meet the other drivers and expectations for your rookie season”

I tried to smiled but I suddenly felt like I wanna dissapear and the lights we’re too bright so I put on my glasses and I hear Lewis laugh and how he copy my action and take the microphone “It’s sunny outside so there’s no need to put the light to bright, thanks guys” And squeezed my hand.

“Yeah, lights, mmm, almost everybody saw me in the car last year when I met the team and my teammate. Everything has been great so far, mmm I spent half of the holidays with the Sainz family, there been close to my mom’s family so, yeah, Carlos and his trainer just help me to get in better shape for this rodeo, something that I’m grateful for” I fist bump with Carlos and laugh “And expectations, well, I prefer to see how it goes after the race, I sent my ideas and questions the past month so I know now that the car is fast and let’s see If we can put Williams on the top again”

Sebastian took the microphone and look at me “Do you know about engineering?”

“Yeah, I finished my degree in mechanical engineering last month, obviously online, so...”

“That’s impresive, kid” answer Sebastian

“Am I the only one scared now?” Ask Lando to everybody. Everybody laugh at that. The interview session went smoothly and not many questions were to me, since Lewis was in the room, the events of november where reminded. Questions about strategies and upgrades for Ferrari and Aston Martin and the chances of McLaren of getting a podium this year. After that, the session ended, Carlos stopped me.

“Welcome officially, girasol” He hug me in the process and we heard a cough

“Are you good, man?”

“Since my friend here it’s so disrespectfull, nice to meet you, yo soy Lago”

“Nunca le enseñaste bien español” I said laughing to the spaniard

“Ciertamente él fue un terrible alumno”

“Please don’t. Back to a common language” I smiled to him and oh boy! such beautiful eyes

“Charlotte, rookie, friend of this guy, fan of dogs, chocolate cake and be on my xbox the whole day” I shake his hand and he gasp

“Marry me”

“In a few years, maybe” I look to Carlos who look at me with wide eyes

“I don’t want him on family holidays, ten moths are too much now” As we were walking through the paddock, a few photographers and fans aproach us. Since Carlando were more famous that I am, so I go straight to my motorhome to lay down for a bit.

What a day.

A few headers on instagram and twitter about the conference

2022 ROOKIE READY TO DRIVE AND BEING A THREAT

CHARLOTTE ROBYN-JONES, NEW SENSATION IN THE PADDOCK

IS THIS THE YEAR OF WILLIAMS?

Mind clear and then start proving myself.

I’m a girl, yes, but right now I feel that I have a chance to be like them, it’s ny time.

A champion, one ready to fight.

I finished my day with more media duties, to 6 pm I was going to wait for Carlos who offer a ride to the hotel. While I was waiting in the parking lot, the papaya pair waved at me.

“Hiya, you must me Charlotte. I’m Daniel, the one with good looks in the team” He said with a smile.

“Nice to meet you Daniel, how you guys doin’?”

“All good, we’re heading to the hotel, ready to kick asses tomorrow?” I saw how Lando seems certanly interested in the question

“I’m feeling normal, but yeah, let’s see tomorrow. My driver arrived so... see ya” I waved at them when Carlos opened his car. Daniel and Lando saw the couple leaving the parking lot when the australian looks at the youngest

“Say it”

“What?”

“Why do you look so shock around her? I mean, even Max who lives in a rock knew about her”

“I’ve been friends of Carlos and I never see her around, it’s weird”

“Ooow, the kid is jealous of the newie” Daniel started laughing and going to his car

“Man stop... I’m not jealous and also I’m a man!”

BAHREIN CIRCUIT @13:45 - FP1 & FP2

“Radio check, please” my race engineer said. Williams had the chance to start fourth in the two practices after Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Red Bull and Alpine.

“ And I thought my heart was detached, from all the sunlight of our past, but she's so sweet, she's so pretty, does she mean you forgot about me? Yeah, yes, I’m going to send you my playlist for the race, what dou you think?”

“We’ll evaluate that after practice”

“It’s not a no, I wil take it”

“Ok Charlotte, 30 seconds to start heating the tyres and whenever you ready, your flying lap”

“Copy”

“Now, we’ll have Williams coming out the pits to start practice, first our rookie Charlotte, fresh out the oven as F2 champion. She’s heating the tyres and has 15 minutes to do a few laps and see how that car goes”

On the broadcast, the faces of the team principals were on screen, with their expectations on the girl and see how she start.

“Ok Charlotte, you can start in the next lap with Leclerc and Ocon in front of you” I pressed the copy bottom. Here I go.

One thing about me it’s that I brake late but my left foot likes to keep itself on the throttle. A girl have to give it all, right?

“I feel like I’m watching the Mercedes W11 all over again. Wow! I can see a future world champion, multiple times If she wanted too”

“That car is fast” said Christian Horner looking to Max’s engineer “What the hell?”

“Definitely it is”

“Toto, even when she brake the car doesn’t go below 170 km/h. what?” Lewis and Bono stand beside the team principal of Mercedes.

“I think that your eight championship have to wait a bit, I can’t believe my eyes”

“That girl is the real Toretto, don´t you think?” asked Yuki to the french man

“I wanna throw myself down a hill to be honest”

“What the f***?, which car is that?, I almost get dizzy” asked Charles over the radio

“That was a Williams, the rookie, she’s 3 seconds faster than you”

“This is going to be a long season. F***”

“Well done Charlotte. With his pace you can certanly win every race this season”

“Haha, good job to everybody from those in the factory to the ones in the garage. What about Alex?”

“As good as you, the difference is 0.337″

“That’s good”

“Yes, we’ll wait for you in the garage”

As I parked, I could heard the applauses from my team and the people around the garage.

And yes.

A very long season ahead.

intro

That was fun.

For those who doesn’t speak spanish, here the translation:

Girasol: sunflower.

Nunca le enseñaste bien español: you never taught him Spanish well.

Ciertamente él fue un terrible alumno: He certainly was a terrible student.

Hope you liked it :)

F1 FEMALE DRIVER HEADCANONS PT2

PAIRING… f1 x driver!reader | WC… 1.2k | Masterlist

➭ You were signed with PREMA team in f3 and f2 and were previously on the mercedes young drivers training scheme and so that helped guide you into an f1 seat.

➭ I reckon you started off in a pretty lowkey team, something like Haas or Toro Rosso. You would quickly move up the ranks and managed to sign a deal with Mercedes in 2021 to work alongside Lewis. You find Mercedes a comfortable and reliable team, even with a few rocky seasons, but you are prepared to risk it all.

➭ In regards to first impressions, I’d say you left quite a strong and unique impression on every driver in different ways.

➭ Lando’s first impression of you was way back from when they were still karting. He had initially found you quite aggressive as he first met you on the track, but once he was able to have a conversation with you, he found you to be a sweet girl who was willing to risk it all for her dreams.

➭ Seb’s first impression of you was of great pride. He had already heard about the young girl who was swiftly climbing up the hierarchy of motorsport and so he was almost honoured to finally meet you. He found you to be a strong and empowering woman, fighting to keep herself in a world full of powerful men and so he found you quite inspiring.

➭ You are Carlos immediately clicked. Maybe it was the way in which he introduced himself by kicking open your driver room door before the first race, or how you just immediately found every little thing you both did hilarious. You’ve valued him as an older brother since the day you first met.

➭ Your first ever interaction with George was one in which you crashed straight into him in a karting race. To say that left a bad impression would be an understatement. From that day on he would despise you and you, of course, would reciprocate the hatred due to your endless amounts of pride. Over time, and the constant races where you raced each other, you eventually grew fond of each other. Maybe it was the endless amounts of forced proximity, everyone knowing of your rivalry and so constantly partnering you together just to witness the arguments. But somehow, you both managed to overcome the grudge.

➭ Logan’s first impression of you wasn’t too great. You had heard about his pride in being American before the season and so you thought it would be a great idea to play the pledge of allegiance when he walked into the room. Well, to cut the story short he was not very impressed. It took you awhile to redeem yourself but you eventually managed to win him over after buying him a large amount of his favourite snack.

➭ Lewis initially found you to be a very funny girl. He hadn’t realised how nervous you were to meet him and so led you to crack every joke possible to try and make a great first impression, which obviously worked. He basically took you in as one of his own, taking you out to dinner after a good race, or buying you chocolate whilst you’re on your period. But overall, you would say you made quite a good impression.

➭ Alex’s first impression of you was amazing. He had met you at a go karting race and, for some reason, he found you absolutely hilarious. Maybe it was the way you practically tripped over and fell straight into him, causing you to both hit the floor. But anyways, you two hit it off great and have just been each other’s idiots since day 1.

➭ You and Oscar had both heard of each other before actually meeting as you were both signed to PREMA, a team that’s below f1. So you had already gained some sort of respect for each other, only to be lost in the video challenge you had been partnered up to do. A dance challenge. To say it was a disaster wouldn’t honour it’s stupidity enough. It was horrendous, an absolute piss take you’d say. But everyone else enjoyed your two’s suffering, especially the director. So much so that she extended the filming as throughout the entire video you can hear staff members crying with laughter in the background. Needless to say, you and Oscar bonded quite well from that traumatic experience and so grew quite close.

➭ You and Daniel hit it off instantly. He was and still is a warm and welcoming soul and so that’s how you believe you loved him from day 1. You met at your first interview of the season and he, obviously noticing how nervous you are, made sure to give you a warm hug in hopes of calming you. That didn’t really help but still, it was the principle that warmed your heart.

➭ Pierre’s first impression of you was quite strange. He didn’t quite know what to make of you. A strange young girl, who managed to climb up the ranks who acted so strangely. Although, I don’t think it helped that the first time you ever met was when you were in the middle of dressing up as a clown for a video. He was quite bewildered and so tried his best to avoid you but ultimately it was inevitable. You eventually caught onto him and forced him to have a conversation with you and from that moment on he loved you.

➭ You are extremely well known for your embarrassing moments, having the majority of them, somehow, caught on camera. Your fellow drivers continuously hound you for the amount of times you’ve done stuff and you just have to stand there and take it with a brave face. You’d say your most embarrassing moment EVER with a diver would be when you and Lando had to dress up as your favourite animal, you as a giraffe and Lando as an elephant, and then perform a dance, whilst also singing, in front of a camera. And, amazingly luckily for you, the team principals just happened to walk past and witnessed this all. You both never managed to live this down as Toto managed to take a video of you two and posted it to millions of fans. To say you were embarrassed wouldn’t be enough, you were horrified.

➭ Your favourite moment of your entire career is when the 2022 drivers all went out for dinner, which Lewis paid for. You all grew closer within those few hours as you learnt more about each other and the hardships in which you went through. The food was great as well and so you always love reminiscing about that moment

Can u help me understand Lestappen please? I’m trying to get into it because it’s a popular ship and I don’t want to miss out on great fics and stuff.

But I see Tumblr posts of MV and CL that scream “HEART EYES” or “HUSBANDS” and…I don’t see it. I can’t suspend my disbelief. Like I get they’ve been competing for 20 years or whatever but I don’t get anything other than profesh respect. And when we regularly see how they are with other people, like MV with Daniel or Lando, or CL with Carlos, Lestappen looks even worse.

Can you please help me see the Lestappen light?

hi anon! lemme break it down for ya. the reason why lestappen is such a popular ship is bc not only of the mutual respect that they have for each other, but the history they have, and their interactions have been pretty cute and all.

even max and lando don't really interact that much, and lando goes as far as to say that "he's not my bff, don't ever say that again" when asked about him and max's relationship. and max with daniel–well, max has always loved daniel and had a crush on that man since his first days in f1 so... different dynamic for sure. charles with carlos interactions... they are cute and all but i think their racing dynamics are just so awkward? esp i think that the ferrari politics deffo affected their relationship and all. cross-team dynamics between charles and max have a nice dynamic, but i'll break down some of the key events

lestappen lore timeline!

2012 - when the inchident occurs - you just need to watch this video. it's just so funny. no words can explain this 😭

2014 - when max essentially recommends charles to race for his old f3 team, van amersfoort racing, a dutch team. and the team boss had a lot of positive things to say about the two <3

2019 - the singapore flag incident... mr. i know geography and i love flags SOMEHOW doesn't know the difference between the singapore flag and the monaco flag

2019 - when we get to austria 2019. essentially, charles is about to win his FIRST ever f1 gp with 3 laps to go, and max pushes charles off track, overtaking him and eventually winning. charles is FURIOUS on the podium. and then they have to share a plane back home but max is all like "oh yeah we're good! 😊 he's talented and he will have his first win this year for sure! we have at least 15-20 years of racing together still! 😊" and then on the plane charles unfollows max. max does the same 😭

2022 - jumping forward to austria 2022, when charles wins the race! and they have this GAY ASS PODIUM

austria is lestappen holy ground.

2020 - when we get this wonderful clip of sebastian asking whether or not charles thinks max is pretty.

seb: is he pretty? charles: *giggles and then silence* OH WAIT. i thought you said 'is he british?' i was like, that's not physical... *panicked leg shake* i don't know!!! *laughs again*

charles not wanting to answer if max is pretty... we should take that as a yes <3

2021 - the year of their baku love tree <3 according to an old turkish custom, when a couple get married, they plant a tree together, and they water it to symbolize their marriage and their hope for leading a happy and beautiful life!

and then jumping forward to 2023 in baku, they have the SAME IDENTICAL TIME during first runs in q3. only max is first bc he did his lap first.

2022 - cota! before the press conference they talk and max goes "fresh again?" and charles starts GIGGLING. like yeah we know u were drunk celebrating 🙄

2022 - secret santa! when charles has max for secret santa and this guy just. gives him f1 2022. with THREE OF HIS FACES. and has a card and writes "one edition for my BIGGEST FAN." not normal about this at ALL.

2023 - charles admits to drinking red bull after he couldn't say in an interview but then likes a tweet later 😭

2023 - paddelgate. max loses to charles in october

and then they're supposed to play together in december!

but then... Max stays up until 4 am the night before the match (doing a 24 hour charity stream) and sleeps in and misses the entire event. 🙁

ok i could literally go on and on about them but i'm going to end it here with a couple quotes:

"Of course I have a lot of respect for Max. He has done very well and I have a lot of respect for what he has achieved. When we drove in karts, we dreamed of Formula 1 together and here we are now! He has the title I won and I have a lot of respect for that."

"I always thought that, if I'd make it to F1, Charles would also make it."
