#grosjean crash

[dear-ao3]

ok seeng your haas commentary is killing me bc I grew up with nascar and Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) which gene founded with tony, its a whole story, was a powerhouse pain in the ass problem causing team and then their european cousin is the poorest little meow meow i fucking love it

haas f1 forgot to tighten the bolts on their tires in australia in 2019 after qualifying the highest they ever had and then it all went downhill from there

#they’re so stupid #they placed fourth their first year i think then everything went to shit #they can’t keep a sponsor cause they suck #had to fire nikita and his dads fertilizer company sponsor because they couldn’t prove he wasn’t supporting the russian war and was bad pr #the grosjean crash #steiner every five minutes having to call gene for more money like a gold digger because they broke something else #and that one dts scene where steiner says that he flew from charlotte to jfk to london to italy or something insane #and the guy he’s with is like from ferrari or something #and he’s like i flew in my jet i can give you a lift next time #absolutely insane #not a tag #from saph #f1

charles saying he would have preferred privacy and didnt know the radio was on and then photographers taking photos of him clearly distraught before he put his helmet back on in the pit lane. congrats f1 did u get the views did u get the clicks did u get the engagement? 

#i have a lot to say about this. like when max had that bad quali (p2) and went to sit behind a bin or something bc he was clearly upset #and cameras followed him and everyone online was like oh its bc his dad will be mad. ??????????????????? #and when people took photos of pierre mourning at spa and when people filmed charles getting changed in a car #and when daniel ricciardo had to stand up and say replaying romain grosjeans crash was disgusting and radio replays of all the drivers upset #like . these are real people. stop this freak behaviour of gushing over drivers upset? even max asking if charles is okay isnt cute like #he was clearly uncomfortable post race when interviewers kept asking him about it digging for a reaction . it is all VERY weird!!!!!

i feel really deflated after seeing that doriane pin lost her win. i was so excited about women in motorsport and now it just feels like the people in power just want to punish talented women

listen, the fia are absolutely, 100%, no doubt whatsoever, clowns at their jobs.

but in this specific incident, i actually think they were right to penalise pin. i understand the frustration, because her doing an extra lap did not affect the race result, but ultimately, the penalty was for failing to follow basic safety regulations.

not to be morbid, but motorsport is actually a very dangerous sport, both for the drivers and for the officials. people do still die from participating in motorsport, and safety regulations, whilst rarely enjoyable, are very very important.

the stewards weren't penalising doriane for doing an extra lap, they were penalising her for being unaware first of the chequered flag, and then the many red flags that she was failing to slow for. should her team have been on the radio to tell her that it was over and she had won? yes. but should she have been aware of what was going on, seen the flags and responded to them appropriately? also yes.

in this instance it was the end of the race and she was only returning to the grid, but that's where the podium finishers park their cars. if she had still been going at full speed when she approached a grid where officials and other drivers were wandering about, it could have gone very badly. if the red flag had been thrown in the middle of the race and she had continued going at full speed until she arrived at the scene of an accident, potentially even where machinery was on track to move a car, it could have been very bad. and it's worth pointing out that teams don't always see everything from the pit wall, they sometimes have to rely on drivers giving them that information after the driver has seen a flag, so driver awareness is incredibly important.

it's very easy for people to sit and be annoyed by this decision because her actions didn't affect anyone, but safety rules are put in place to anticipate and mitigate the worst possibilities, and the only way they can ever be effective is if they are also applied for the smallest breaches. nothing bad happened this time, but it could have, and even if it didn't, doriane could have ended up disqualifying herself by using more fuel than is permitted. it seems harsh, and there is an argument that she should have been given a grid penalty for the next race rather than a time penalty for this one, but i don't believe that her getting a penalty is unfair.

does it suck that she lost her win? sure. i really like doriane, she's been fantastic in endurance racing and i love the iron dames, so i'm definitely rooting for her to do well in single seaters. but i think safety is more important and i always will. she'll take this hit, learn from it, and come back fighting. please don't let yourself lose any excitement about women in motorsport because of one stewarding decision. i promise you, there is so much talent and potential in the world for female drivers.

if you're interested in the stewarding standards i recommend dropping into @mercedeshaterr's inbox as she has actual experience and can speak about stewarding with far more insight and authority than i can, and is a passionate supporter of women in motorsport

#keeping this in the tags because it is morbid but i remember watching a vhs tape of imola 1994 #not realising that it was the race where senna died and then being horrified when he crashed #i remember watching jules bianchi have his accident in suzuka and a year later finding out that i had effectively seen a man die #i remember watching romain grosjean's accident and thinking that i was about to see another driver die #safety should always always be the highest priority and it's better for a driver to lose a win than someone to lose their life #doriane wasn't trying to endanger anyone but she could have and for that she gets a penalty #asks #anon #f1 academy

romain grosjean: cursed by the fire, dancing with death.

#hi hello here's whatever this is #i'm trying to figure out how to make a proper web weave but that shit is hard #or maybe i'm just technically inept #who knows #i was listening to this song on my 2.5h journey home (love public transport acting whacky) and it made me think of this #romain grosjean #tw fire #tw car crash #this makes me feel like a fraud but: #f1 web weaving #formula 1 #emy weaves <3

[pookiepiastri]

I’m currently making my roommate watch Drive to Survive with me (I need everyone around me to also be into F1 or I’ll die) and she is CONVINCED that Romain Grojean crashing out all the time is a trauma response due to his 2012 crash with Fernando Alonso 💀 her theory is that everytime he gets into the car he has an intense stress/ptsd response and because of that he can’t help but crash 😭😭

#tbh I think she’s right #he just seems like the type of guy to get so stressed about crashing that he can’t help but crash #she has no clue ab his fire crash but this theory is still hilarious #romain grosjean #drive to survive #dts #f1 #formula 1 #formula one #f1blr #haas f1 team

nah cos how are grosjean and mclaughlin star crossed lovers this season

sky f1 and yapping about how toro rosso drivers who literally weren't even involved in a crash are at fault name a worse duo

#i still haven't forgiven them for blaming grosjeans crash on kvyat #like the guy didn't even do anything

[chronal-anomaly]

Another hc I wanna write out in full is about Leans uniform, both the overwatch blues and the signature (horrible) orange leggings, and not-crocs running shoes because they're so important to her, not just for the Overwatch look but also for her own safety and such.

#im so sleep deprived #i made the mistake of taking a nap at like 6 #yeah its 1am now and i have class at 9 #but to pass the time im catching up on some f1 stuff #and the video of Grosjean just rising out of the flames of his crashed car as pwople look on with horror #convinced that he's dead #the video itself is insane but it's definitely lena esque in that #all of her gear is extremely fire retardant and likely has led to a scene similar to this #plus the custom designed running shoes and leggings #the orange goggles that not only protect her eyes but make it easier to see contrasts - similar to hunting glasses #her uniform #her bikes #her shoes #everything about her is near custom made for her specific needs as an ow agent #( ooc. )

Pictures: Wrecked chassis from Grosjeans Bahrain fireball crash to go on display | 2023 F1 season

The wrecked Haas chassis from Romain Grosjean’s violent, fiery crash in the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix is to go on display next month. Grosjean struck a barrier on the inside of turn three head-on at a speed of 192kph, sustaining a 67G impact. The engine and rear assembly was torn from the car and it exploded into flames. It took Grosjean 28 seconds to climb out of the blaze, during which time he suffered burns to his hands. The strength of the VF-20 chassis, and in particular the presence of the halo cockpit protection device, was widely credited for saving Grosjean’s life. The extensively damaged structure hasn’t been seen since the race in December 2020. It will be put on display at the Formula 1 Exhibition in Madrid next month. “From my point of view, it was a big accident but I didn’t realise the impact or how violent it was from the outside,” Grosjean, who now races in IndyCar, recalled. “It was only the next day when I asked someone to show me what it looked like that I realised. My wife was actually watching that race with my dad and my kids. They will remember that moment their entire life. They were just spectators waiting to hear something, waiting to see something from Bahrain.” The chassis will be shown in a dedicated room, under the title ‘Survival’. Previously unreleased footage of the crash will be presented alongside it. Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free “I had to break the headrest, punching it with my helmet and then I eventually managed to get my helmet through and stand up in the seat,” Grosjean explained. “I realised my left foot was stuck into the chassis and I pulled as hard as I could on my left leg. My shoe stayed in the chassis but my foot came loose so I was free to exit the car.” “It was 120 kilos of fuel plus the battery – both were on fire. Dr Ian Roberts, Alan [van der Merwe] from the medical car and one fireman were trying to open a gap in the fire to help me get out. I believe that helped me at least to get a vision of where I had to go and where the exit was.” “The survival cell is there for you in case of a huge impact. I was intact inside the shell. The chassis is still in one piece, the halo is there and apart from the damage and burn it is still as it should be. I guess that saved my life.” The F1 Exhibition will open in Madrid on March 24th.

i dont follow motorcycle racing or moto3 but i have mutuals and followers who do and whose posting has let me know about the accident that just happened. so i just want to say remember to walk away from the tv for a bit and drink some cold water and maybe walk around your house to burn some energy or make some tea or coffee or food so your brain can focus on a familiar task.

watching these things live is never easy, especially within the first hour when information is so blurry and you want to know of the drivers involved are okay. its completely human to react with shock/distress/anger/numbness/whatever to witnessing these more serious incidents live. focus on whats going to help, not whats gonna make you feel worse.

#i was unfortunate enough to witness the crash at mugello last year that took jasons life #it is to this day the only motoracing thing i happened to drop in one #because i was waiting for another motorsports practise session to start #i have friends whove watched similar incidents like with formula racing in 2014 and 2019 #and it can be incredibly distressing to see these incidents #even nonfatal ones like this one (hopefully) will be. grosjeans crash or when ott when into the lake in 2015 #its not something anyone should have to see and is an unfortunate side effect of these forms of sports #and youve every reason to hate it like i do. it certainly doesnt make you any less of a motorsport fan like weird twitter guys #obsessed with crashes like to claim

Clash of Champions | LH44 , MV1

Act 1. Part 2 : When all had fallen

Ships : Lewis Hamilton x Engineer! Reader , Max Verstappen x Engineer! Reader

Genre : Drama , Angst , Romance

Warnings : Morally Grey Characters

Summary : The rivalry between the titans of Formula 1 go off track and only one will reign victorious.

< Previous Next >

You remember 2015 as if it was tattooed to your brain. This was the year when cracks had started to appear in the Mercedes motorhome.

From an outsider’s perspective, it was all victories and celebrations — through what appears to be years of dominance ahead. However, destruction and chaos loomed between the walls of the 2 garages. The dispute between the drivers is growing gnarly and what was supposed to be kept on track was seeping into the personal lives of the people involved.

Lewis and Nico were ready to slit each other’s throats when given the permission and command. Moreover, the management did not give a damn about the rapidly growing hostility, for as long as one of them won . No, Mercedes didn’t care. And you saw how it affected not only the drivers , but the entire pit.

A person cannot forget a lifetime’s worth of friendship that easily. You saw it with your own two eyes , how the loss of friendship killed a part of Lewis and all you could do was sit there and pull him close into your embrace.

Paranoia had started to claw its way into Lewis’ mind; wondering if his teammate and Mercedes were teaming up against him.

You could do nothing to help, because you were going through the same exact thing. Not as Lewis’ partner, but as his race engineer. You cannot lie to yourself, and most importantly you cannot lie to Lewis and say that no dirty cards were drawn — because you know for a fact that several team calls were given without your knowledge or permission that had led to losses and misjudgments. You cannot deny foul play … not when Monaco 2015 happened.

“Lewis, you have a 21-second gap on Rosberg. Tires are good, keep that pace” You radioed towards Lewis as you monitored the data on the car.

“Copy, what lap are we? “ Lewis radioed back

“Lap 64, Lap 64 of 78. Keep your head down, A race win is projected, I repeat, a race win is a project— RED FLAG, RED FLAG! ” Just as you were talking, the signal for a red flag had lit and you and your team were informed of a crash.

Quickly gathering the information, you rallied it towards Lewis.

“Slow the car down, Red Flag, Red Flag. A safety car is deployed. Lewis , lay low and keep those tyres warm” You mentally cursed as what appeared to be a 21-second advantage for Lewis was no longer there.

“What happened?” Lewis questioned

“Verstappen and Grosjean touched on turn 1. Verstappen is out. “ You echoed

“Fuck! My pace was good. Are they ok though? Who was at fault?”

“I will get back on that, the stewards are now discussing” you replied.

Your eyes were focused on the data that was on your screen when suddenly at the corner of your eye you saw an engineer discretely say something to Bonno.

A look of apprehension clouded his features. And he sent you a look of remorse as he pressed what seems to be your mic connection to Lewis’ car. Horror ate your entire being as you realized what was about to happen.

Before you could do anything else, Bonno had radioed to Lewis.

“BOX, BOX “

Your world froze entirely, as absolute terror gave you whiplash. Rage consumed you and you stood from your chair not caring for the mess you’re making as you made your way towards Bonno and gripping his polo forcefully towards your height.

“HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!” You screamed at Him, now the other engineers tried to hold you back — but not before you could land a solid punch at him. Fuck HR, they could fire you for all you care.

You once again tried to claw at him, when you heard the confused voice of Lewis in your abandoned earphones.

Elbowing your way out of their grip, you placed the headset back on your head and reconnected to Lewis.

“ Y/N? Why did they tell me to box? Where were you? “ Lewis’ voice held so much confusion and doubt that it broke your heart.

“Lew, I - “

“ Y/N you said my tires were good. Why was told to box? Why am I boxing? “ Lewis countered before you could even answer.

You knew that Lewis had just lost his win. And you felt like it was somehow your fault.

“Lew … I'm sorry”

And just like that, Nico Rosberg had won the Grand Prix. While you lost the trust in every person in your motorhome and you gained contempt back.

After that incident, you had developed severe mistrust and it has led to nightmares and unhealthy amounts of alcohol. And only Lewis could break your cycle.

It was truly you and Lewis against everything. Or that was what you thought. Because , you didn’t know that Lewis has been fed false information about what happened, where everything was pinned on you.

Without your knowledge, Lewis’ trust in you had also formed a crack and doubt had nested itself in his heart.

No matter how coarse and dreadful , life still ensues and you are forced to move on — and continue with your life. Lewis had won another world championship.

It cant be denied that the prestige and glamour that the title brought has broadened opportunities for Lewis . Yet ,no one can argue that this has also broadened the target behind Lewis’ back.

And it had shown during 2016, Nico Rosberg was adamant about winning and he had done everything in his power to achieve his goal.

And painstakingly, Nico had won the title. Then not long after he announced his retirement.

Nico Rosberg has left Mercedes … and what did this mean for Lewis? Admittedly you were relieved by Nico’s exit; this meant the tension in the motorhome had been dissipated. You were no longer worried that the 2 Merc drivers were going to kill each other on track.

This meant, that you and Lewis could finally figure out what was between the two of you. You two could finally grow and develop your relationship. A relationship that wasn’t surrounded by anxiety and work . You could finally re-approach the promise that Lewis swore to you a year before.

He promised that he would rectify the contracts so that we didn’t need to stay in the shadows.

However, time continues to pass, days become weeks weeks become months and months become years.

It was now 2020, Lewis was experiencing what the title of Formula 1 Champion brought. He won another championship. And Lewis was living the life! And you had your moments too. You could proudly say that you are now a well sought after race engineer — with Race teams serving job offers left and right. But you have always declined , even if you so badly wanted to leave Mercedes… because you stayed where Lewis was.

4 years had passed, but you were still at the very beginning. You still waited for Lewis to make do his promise.

But as you gazed at him looking so alive and carefree as girls littered at his side while the music blasted in the bar.

The music was deafening,yet all you could hear was the pounding of your heart, as you felt the vile rush up to your mouth at the sight of your boyfriend holding another woman. And you could do nothing because to the world you were just his race engineer. Even after everything you sacrificed, you still cannot claim and shout to the world that Lewis Hamilton was yours.

Tears had started to drop from your eyes. As you felt the warm liquid run down your face , you felt a soft material in your hand. Looking down it was a handkerchief.

“ Pretty race engineers shouldn’t cry” A cold voice caught your attention, as you looked up to Blue cerulean eyes.

“Hi, We haven’t formally met. I’m Max” A smile graced his features, softening his usually cold appearance

Not A Verstappen: A New World {5}

Silverstone Grand Prix Lando hadn’t stopped moving all night. If he wasn’t dancing, he was circling the club and talking to everyone that had come out to celebrate his second place finish at his home race, or DJing. His excitement had been infectious enough to replace the disappointment from the seventh place finish for you and the ninth place for Charles. 

“Mamour, dance with me,” Charles begged as he appeared behind you, a drink in one hand and the other on the small of your back. His palm rubbed soothing circles and you leant back into the touch with a groan. “Does your back still hurt?”

The porpoising of the car had been horrific and even Kristian’s hands hadn’t been able to ease the ache after the race, but you didn’t want Charles to worry as you turned to face him. “Yeah, it’s sore from carrying my team.”

His laugh warmed your ear before his cold lips kissed the space beneath. “That’s my girl.”

“Yes I am, now where is our boy?” You scanned the crowd looking for Lando but instead found his parents dancing together and sharing whispers. “I was always jealous of you guys.”

“For what?”

“That. Having parents that loved each other. I thought I was missing out on something,” you said with a nod to Adam and Cisca before clearing your throat at the unexpected wistfulness that arose. “I’m just going to get some fresh air. Why don’t you find Lando and I’ll meet you there?”

You didn’t wait for an answer as you escaped the busy room to the balcony on the upper level. Clouds of flavoured smoke greeted you from the people who had gone to vape where they were allowed and you squeezed through until you found a small pocket of space in the back corner. 

“You look like you could use this more than me.”

You looked at the joint the stranger offered, more than likely some friend of a friend of Lando’s, and you raised your hand to wave away the smoke that drifted your way. “No, thank you.”

“Go on, it’ll help you relax.”

“I don’t need to relax, alright, so just fuck off would you?”

“Woah, lovie, calm down,” he laughed before taking a long drag and blowing the bitter sweet smoke in your face.

“Don’t tell me to calm down,” you bit out, barely feeling the burn of the spliff in your palm as you snatched it from him. “And I’m not your fucking ‘lovie’-”

“Baby. Babe! What’s going on?” Lando slid between you, forcing the stranger back as he took your hand and swore. “What the hell did you do, Jakob?”

“Nothing, bro, you’re girl looked like she was stressing,” Jakob said with an innocent shrug. “I was just trying to help.”

“H-help?!” you stammered as your hands turned to fists with the growing anger burning hotter than your hand. “I would lose my seat you fucking imbecile. Your idiot friend was trying to get me to smoke weed.”

“Why are you getting angry at me?” Lando asked as he stepped back. “I was coming to see if you were alright. Just calm down for a second, love.”

You had seen Romain Grosjean’s car explode when he crashed in Bahrain, heard the audible pop that rippled through the air before the wall of flames erupted. You imagined that something similar was happening inside you. “Don’t tell me to calm down,” you hissed quietly as you felt the stares of everyone on the balcony. “This is fucking calm.”

Lando’s eyes were wide as he reeled back, his jaw dropping at the tone you took. “What the hell is wrong with you?”

“I guess I am my father’s daughter.” You felt your lips tugging though there was nothing to smile about and it was as if you were a passenger in your own body. You couldn’t control the words as they tumbled out of your mouth with a harsh laugh. 

You looked at the joint in your hand, an angry blister appearing where it had burnt you, and saw the tip was still aglow. Rolling it in your fingers you started to lift it to your lips as you wondered what it would taste like, if it would relax your racing mind and tired body. 

“We’re leaving,” Lando growled as he grabbed your wrist and started to drag you back inside, the joint falling to the floor.

“What happened?” Charles asked the moment he saw the hard look on Lando’s face and tight grip on your limp arm. 

“I don’t know, ask Spitfire. Miss Verstappen here is starting fights and taking drugs now apparently.”

“Don’t call her that.”

“Maybe Daddy Dearest and I can share a cell one day, work on that father/daughter bond we never had,” you laughed darkly. “Oh wait, no we can’t because he only got home detention and gets to spend all day with Kelly and Blue playing happy families.”

“Non, non, your lawyer said Jos would get three years minimum,” Charles said as he looked between you and Lando with disbelief. “His stunt could have killed you.”

“I know. I was there, funnily enough.” You shifted on your feet wishing you hadn’t worn heels and you debated kicking them off. “At least Blue doesn’t have to grow up without a dad - at least she will think he gives a shit about her.”

Lando’s fingers eased their grip from your wrist and slipped down to hold your hand. “Why didn’t you tell us?”

“Because it doesn’t matter. It would only upset you and it doesn’t bother me - I have a restraining order against him.”

“But it is obviously bothering you, baby,” he said as he shared a look with Charles. “We’ve both noticed you’ve been acting a little crazy for a while.”

“Well I only found out after we got here so thanks for that. Look, I’m just going to head back to the hotel and find mum.” You pulled away from them as the laser lights caught the shimmer of tears running down your cheeks. “I don’t want to ruin your night any more than I already have.”

“Wait, no,” Lando argued as he took a step after you, tripping over the heels you had slipped off before disappearing into the crowd and missing his quiet words, “you haven’t ruined anything.”

Your feet ached from the run to the hotel and your boobs weren’t feeling much better. The clubbing dress wasn’t exactly one that a supportive bra could fit under so you felt each slap of your feet on the pavement reverberate up your body and bounce them uncomfortably. A few people stared as you rushed by but most people out at the late hour had their own problems to deal with rather than worrying about the person running like a madwoman down the street. 

“Am I crazy?”

Your mother looked a little perplexed as she opened the door to her suite wider to let you in, her eyes narrowing at your bare feet as you walked past panting. “Is this a serious question or rhetorical?”

“I’m being serious, mum.”

“Well,” she said as she pointed to the couch and turned off the TV that was playing the evening news, “I think you are safe if you’re asking that. Most crazy people wouldn’t ask if they are crazy.”

You fell into the couch heavily and rubbed your temples furiously. “There’s something wrong with me though.”

You felt the seat beside you sink in as she sat down before she pulled your hands away. “Why do you say that, honey?”

“I don’t know, I just feel off. Unbalanced. I keep fucking things up with Lando and Charles and I know one day they will get sick of it and leave me. And I wouldn’t blame them.”

“Those boys love you, and what you three have is special but relationships are hard, sweetheart. They take time and energy to maintain. You have to work to keep them going strong, work on both the relationship and yourself.” She paused as she looked at your hands in hers, your nails almost non-existent from the biting habit that had resurfaced in recent months. “What's really on your mind? I haven’t seen you this stressed since your first karting race.”

“Fuck,” you swore under your breath as you pulled your knees up to your chest and wiped your eyes. “I don’t know what I’m doing, mum. Last year I had Max on my team and I knew he had my back, now I feel like I have a target on mine.”

“I thought Lawernce was pleased with your work.”

“Points equal money so Lawrence is happy, but Lance is struggling more than me at getting them lately. The upgrades just aren’t doing enough and the further I get ahead in the standings the tenser things are with him, but I need to push harder. I have no hope of beating Max or Checo without the RB19, so, so, so maybe I’m just not that good a driver like everyone said.”

“Oh, honey,” she cooed softly as she wrapped an arm around your shoulders and tucked you into her side. “You are a great driver, no matter the car.”

“I want to believe that but I’m second guessing myself over every decision I’ve made and it makes me so angry that I’m snapping at everyone around me, especially Charles and Lando. I know I’m the problem, mum, I just don’t know how to fix me, or if I even can be…What if there’s just too much Verstappen in here?” Your fist slammed against your chest and as if to prove your point the sound was as hollow as you felt.

Sitting up straight, your mother gave you the look that made you shift uncomfortably before her lips parted. “You listen to me, and you listen well: you are not broken, and there is nothing to ‘fix’. Max, Victoria and Blue all share the same blood as you and they are not broken either. You are more than who your father is and there is nothing wrong with being a Verstappen.”

“Then why didn’t you call me that? If it’s not that bad, why isn’t it on my birth certificate?”

Your mother sighed deeply and she suddenly looked tired - as if her age was catching up with her at the late hour. “Honey, I was your age when I found out I was pregnant. I was young and heartbroken and alone.” 

You couldn’t blame her, you could hardly imagine trying to raise a kid alone, especially one that was a reminder of what was probably the worst betrayal she had faced. It had probably put her off ever wanting another relationship again. “How come you never dated anyone after Jos?”

“I dated other men, honey. I didn’t become a nun,” she teased with a nudge of her shoulder. “You just never met any of them.”

You tried not to think about the nun statement too much but you couldn’t help asking, “Why?”

She shrugged nonchalantly. “Because you are the most precious gift I ever received and I wasn’t going to bring just anyone into our home. The only man I wanted to bring home was one prepared to be a father to you, we were a package deal.”

Your brows pinched together as you understood yet another sacrifice she had made for you growing up. “I’m sorry.”

“I’m not. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you. You’ll understand it when you’re a mother one day - when you’re older, much older, and retired from racing.” She patted your knee twice at the knock on the door and stood up to open it. “Evening gentlemen, come to collect our Champ?”

You looked to the door and found Lando leaning against the frame with your heels hanging from his fingertips. Charles stood beside him with a hand on his waist.

“Actually, we were wondering if we could have a family meeting.”
