Rival? Friend? Lover | Max Verstappen

WC: 1.8K

Max Verstappen x Driver!Reader

Summery: (REQUESTED) You and Max have been rivals for so long but does that mean you hate him, did you ever hate each other.

Masterlist

Getting into F1 as a female was always deemed impossible, only on the basis that you are a female. The mostly male sport was never welcoming to different people who do it for their mould, doesn't matter how many videos they do or empty words they say. However, that didn't stop you from trying. Driving in F1 has always been your dream, you didn't care about other motorsports, you wanted to be a part of the pinnacle of motorsports, to race in the best and fastest cars in the world. Getting there wasn't easy, the road was filled with blood sweat and tears and ups and downs, more downs than ups, but nonetheless here you are today the first female in over 30 years racing an F1 car. And so is your rival Max Verstappen.

It's a well known fact between everyone who's into F1 that you don't have to be enemies to be rivals, as evident by all the friendships on the grid, but you and Max seemed like you're enemies. Since you've been in your karting days and you've always been against each other, always trying to best the other. So many edits of your rivally from Karting to F1 have made their way online.

“Max is right behind.” your race Engineer says through the radio.

“Really? I didn't notice.” You day dryly focusing on defending from the number 1 car behind you. He's all over your mirrors. “What is wrong with him? The track is too narrow for this shit.”

“Just focus on defending.” The RE says and you would've rolled your eyes if it weren't for the fact that you're racing at a high speed.

“Please stop talking!” You're stressed, Max is about to get DRS on you. You're turning the corner before a straight, and what do you know it seems your years of racing together affected your driving because you both went right at the same time and he had DRS on you, causing his car to slam straight into yours. The world stops for a moment, you let go of the steering wheel and hold your breath. You hit the wall once and stop, not a second later Max’s car slams into yours. Red flag is instantly issued and you breathe. Both cars are damaged with bits all over the track.

“Y/n, are you okay?” Your RE asks and you take a breath before saying you're okay. Adrenaline is rushing through your body and you lean back going through your limbs seeing where it hurts.

The moment Max’s car stops he gets out of the car and rushes to your car, he doesn't see you getting out making his heart beat in his chest as dread washes all over him.

“Y/N! Y/N!” Max shouts going to your car, you look up at him through the visor, his visor is up so you can see his worried eyes looking at you. ��Are you hurt?”

“I don't think so.” You say and take out your wheel and slowly stand up, Max has his arms in the air to help you if you need it. The Marshalls are arriving and you jump out of the car, Max has his arm on your back as you get your balance back.

“Are you sure you're okay?” He asks, seeing how out of balance you are.

“Yeah, just a bit shocked.” You mutter not sure if he heard you or not. But the safety car is here, and a Marshall leads you to the car to be taken to the medical bay.

You're out of there in no time, walking out you find Max standing near the entrance.

“Did you get hurt?” You ask the Dutch driver, he looks up at the sound of your voice taking you in, your hair is loose and the suit is by your waist.

“No.”

“Why are you still here then?” You ask him frowning.

“What, you own the medical bay now?” He says and you scoff, shaking your head at his tone and words, you show him your middle finger as you walk past him. Max curses himself and looks at your figure walking away asking himself the million dollar question ‘since when do I care about this nuisance Well being?’

Later on Max is with Lando after the race at a club, with a few drinks in each they're both feeling the effects of the alcohol.

“You know with the crash today, if it was anyone other than y/n you would've had their head for the crash.” Lando says and wiggles his eyebrows teasingly at the RedBull driver.

“No I wouldn't, that's old me.” Max mutters while taking a sip from his drink.

“You literally had a fight with Ocon a few races ago because he clipped your front wing, mind you, you still came first.” Lando points out and Max says nothing. “Also a birdie told me you stayed at the med bay to check on her.”

“Huh, and who might this birdy be?” Max asks and Lando does the motion of zipping his lips. “ you know if you keep saying things like this i'll go find someone else to drink with.”

“I'm sure you'll find y/n somewhere around here.”

Lando laughs as Max leaves him in the direction of the bar.

At another race week, y/n is in the media conference after a race at your home race.

“Y/n, tell me it's been a tough getting past the RedBulls and especially Max, it's been a while since you got a win and some had their hopes on you today, and a lot of the fans are upset and are saying that its become boring now with Max winning every week, what's your take on this?”

“Uh, I feel like it's a bit unfair.” You say looking at the interviewer, Max is literally next to you on the sofa, sometimes you wonder what the interviewers expect to happen when they ask things like this. “It's unfair to hate on someone just because they're winning, you can't expect someone to lose when they can win, if I was in his position I'd give it my all and try to win as much as I could as well.” You shrug. “So all the booing and the hate makes no sense to me and frankly it's unfair.”

“So you don't want to win?” They ask and you frown.

“Where did I ever say that, of course I want to win, I wouldn't still be driving if I didn't think that, this is my home race of course I wanted to win but that's besides the point.” They open their mouth to ask something else and you roll your eyes before cutting them off. “Thank you, next question and to someone else please, I'm not entertaining this any further.”

You place your microphone next to you and take one out of Lewis's books and put on your sunglasses, you're clearly unamused.

It takes everything in you not to look at Max and wish for this to be over already.

Later on you're walking with Alex and George. “You know I thought you and Max are like the biggest enemies in F1 history.”

You roll your eyes at Alex's words and say nothing.

“Me too, but did you hear her at the conference?”

“Piss off both of you, I mean I barely said anything, I just don't get how so many people hate on him just for winning, yes I'm tired of the RB dominance but you can't hate an athlete for just winning. How is that girl?” You ramble a bit not realising the looks the taller drivers shared.

“I don't think you realise how you and Max aren't enemies any more.” You scoff at George's words and cross your arms.

“He's still annoying and stuck up.” You mutter frowning.

“You're convincing no one.” Alex says and you sigh.

“Okay whatever, see you later losers.” You say and break off from them to head to your motorhome.

You hear them laughing and flip them over your shoulder. Making them laugh even more.

You blame luck, honestly why is your luck so bad? What are the chances of you and Max staying in the same hotel, and what are the chances for you to be in the same left at the same time. AND what are the chances of it breaking down.

“What the heck?” You ask once the left stops moving, you were looking at your phone since you got on. Your eyes fell onto the other rider, who you just realised is Max.

Max presses the floor numbers before pressing the help one. Nothing.

“Press the help button.” You say.

“What do you think I just did?” Max says frustrated you unlock your phone only to see no signal.

“Do you have a signal?”

“No.”

A few minutes later you're sitting on the elevator floor with Max sitting on the other side. You've been silent for a while before Max broke the silence.

"You know, someone said we would make the perfect team." He said out of nowhere.

"Eww! No!" Was your natural response.

"That's what I thought." Max said and you fell into silence once more.

“Why do you think we wouldn't make a good team?” You ask Mqx curious about his answer.

“You literally said no too.” Max replied.

“I know… but why do you think that.?”

“I don't know, we've always been rivals, to be teammates and work together it's just… it's weird.” Max says and you hummed. “What about you? Why do you think we wouldn't make a good team?”

“It's the same I guess.” You shrug and look at your fingers, thinking it over you don't know why, being Max's rival has been all you know for so many years, it's like second nature to you, but thinking back you don't think he's ever done anything to warrant the hate that you realise is not there anymore. You're not sure if it ever was. You whisper. “I'm trying so hard to hate you.”

“why?” Max asks and you look at him only to find him already looking at you.

“I have no idea, you've been my biggest rival since we were kids and it's ingrained in me to not like you, but, I don't think we have to hate each other to be rivals.” You say not to overthink the words coming out before you say them. “I just realised that I have no reason to hate you and I don't think that I ever did.”

“To be honest we were kids and then teenagers, lots of unbalanced hormones there.” Max points out and you agree with him, there's a long moment of silence before he says “I don't think I've hated you for a long time as well.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

It takes another ten minutes before the left is working again and you're out. Later that day you get a text from an unknown number.

Unknown Number

Reunions on the track

Pairing: Charles Leclerc x Ex best friend!reader

Warnings: fights

Summary: Charles and Y/n have known each other since they were five years old, but with the start of his motorsport career they lost touch.

Years later, when Charles was driving for Ferrari in Formula 1 and Y/n had a degree in photography, their paths crossed again when she was hired as the team's new photographer.

I was accustomed to the Formula 1 circus.

The roar of engines, the team's hustle and bustle, cameras always pointed in his direction. But on this sunny morning, I was surprised with something or someone to be more specific. I entered the Scuderia Ferrari pitlane and that’s when I saw her, with her back turned to him, skillfully handling a camera. Y/n. Her name echoed in his mind like an echo from the past.

I assumed from the camera in her hand that she had filled the vacancy at Ferrari.

"Are you kidding me?" Charles muttered, addressing Mattia Binotto, the head of the Ferrari team. "Is Y/n here?"

Mattia smiled, as if he knew this could cause turbulence.

“Surprise, Charles. She’s our new photographer. Y/n has an incredible eye for capturing the most intense moments of the races.”

I made an effort to control the flood of emotions rising in me. Me and Y/n had been inseparable friends since childhood, but we drifted apart over time, especially when my career in motorsport took off.

We hadn't spoken in years, and now she is here, on the same team as me.

Our friendship was perfect, we had known each other forever, and I remember our mothers saying that we would definitely get married if we just got older. Over time, I realized that I had feelings for her, and I was willing to wait until we were old enough and then confess my feelings to her. But then everything changed.

I started rapidly advancing through categories, and then I just stopped talking to her.

I stood there for a few minutes just looking at her until Y/n finally turned around, and their gazes met. It wasn't a warm and joyful reunion. On the contrary, there was a moment of tense silence before Y/n broke it.

"Charles Leclerc, the Ferrari golden boy." she said, with a sarcastic smile. "Who would have thought you'd become so famous, huh?"

Charles felt his face grow warm.

“Don’t start Y/n.”

"Don't start? You just disappear from my life when you started winning races, and I'm the one who can't say anything?"

I don't know why, but I didn't think she would be this hostile.

"I was busy, Y/n. You know how life is in F1."

"Busy or not, you could have found a way to stay in touch. But, of course, you had more important things to do than to care about me." She looked at me, hurt. "But who am I to blame you, right? After all, with fame and beautiful models hanging on your neck all the time, I wouldn't mean anything to you anyway."

Those words hit Charles like a punch in the stomach. He knew he had made mistakes, but he never imagined that Y/n was so hurt.

"I'm sorry, Y/n. I should have been a better friend." She let out an exasperated sigh.

"It doesn't matter anymore. I'm here to do my job," she said sternly. "You just need to pretend that I mean nothing to you; I don't think it will be that difficult."

I simply nodded, realizing that the situation was far from resolved. While the engines roared in the background, indicating that I had to get into the car next.

And, of course, I spent the entire practice session thinking about how to have her back in my life.

hi! can you write with prompts 1, 2 and 31 with daniel ricciardo or george russell, like a friends to lovers?

10 years in the making

George Russell x driver!reader

A/N: This is wayyyy longer than I expected it to be. Hope you enjoy :)

You've known George since you were both seven. Karting together. Its always been you and George. It was very rare to see one of you with out the other. You're parents made jokes that you'd marry each other and your response was always the same, "We're just best friends." But when you got older those feelings changed.

15 years old. Racing was getting serious for the both of you, meaning you spent even more time together and competing. It was a dream. That's when you started seeing George in a different light. He was no longer George Russell, your best friend. Now he was George Russell, the boy you fell head over heels for but could never have.

It pained you to have these feelings. He would never feel the same. He saw you like a sister. You were in love with someone you knew would never love you back. So you tried, with everything in you, to forget these feelings.

21 years old. Entering formula one with your best friends. You and George had both signed for Williams. While you were excited to be in F1 and have a friend as your teammate, seeing George non stop wasn't going to help with these feelings. For six years you couldn't rid yourself of this longing and empty feeling.

You'd never dated anyone. George, Lando and Alex always questioned you on your love life and you never had anything to offer. You didn't want to date, you only wanted George. Every time you imagined your future George was the main component. You couldn't count the amount of times you've pictured your first date, first kiss, first anniversary, engagement, wedding, first child. All you wanted was for George to want you like you want him.

You noticed a slight change in George's behaviour in your rookie year. He became more flirty than he ever was. But you didn't want to get your hope up. He now had thousands if girls throwing themselves at him. That's just how he talks to everyone.

When George moved to Mercades you were relived. You loved spending time with George, but it was killing you to have to be with him more than everyone else. Now you had Alex as your teammate.

Alex was always questioning you on your love life. He would bring it up the most around George. He was the most observant over the years. He noticed your longing stares, the way your eyes would light up around George and your immense annoyance when ever George talked about a girl he liked. Alex knew. He knew the minute you fell, but he never spoke to you about it.

Race week, meaning you had to see George. George, who had recently broken up with his girlfriend for no apparent reason.

The five of you, Charles, Lando, George, Alex and yourself, were sat in the drivers hospitality, talking.

"And this is horsey last week. he broke a vase jumping off the shelf." Alex was showing everyone a picture of his cat.

"Is he okay?" Charles asked, concerned about the animals wellbeing.

"A piece of glass got stuck in his paw so we had to take him to the vets to get it removed."

Charles PR manager showed up a little later to usher him to his duties. Lando's manager soon followed. It was just you, Alex and George.

"So you and carmen broke up." Alex turned to George.

"Yeah." George seemed nervous about the topic.

"What happened then?"

"Well, I realised I have feelings for someone else and it'd be unfair to her to waste her time when I love someone else, y'know?"

"Yeah." the room was silent for a moment until Alex spoke again, "Who is she then?"

"What?" George looked terrified, eyes bulging out of his head.

"Who do you have feelings for?"

"It, uh, it doesn't matter." George struggled with his words, wanting to avoid the question, "It's nothing anyway."

"Well, its clearly something if you broke up with carmen 'cause of her."

"I mean, I-"

Before George could continue his sentence all three of your PR managers came to rush you to pre-race media.

The race went okay, you and Alex both scoring points. While you were happy about that, you couldn't stop thinking about George.

Everyone was walking away from the media pen, your eyes caught on Geroge.

"Crushing hard, huh?"

"What!?" You spun around to find Alex with a huge smirk on his face.

"It's obvious you like him."

"Like who?"

"George."

"I, I, wha-, I mean, no." you stumbled over your words, struggling to form a proper sentence.

"You're blushing."

"I'm not." your hands touched your face to be met with your burning skin. Alex laughed lightly at your defensiveness.

"Don't laugh." you were embarrassed to say the least, "How long have you known?"

"Too long."

...

Now knowing for sure of your feelings for George, Alex set out on a little mission. After lots of pestering George, Alex heard the best thing in the world.

"Come on, you always tell me who you like." Alex whined.

"God, you sound like a teenager." George stated, walking away.

"Just tell me." Alex ran in front of him, blocking his exit, "I won't move move until you do." There was a minuet of silence.

"Fine, I'll tell you." George sighed as Alex's face lit up with excitement.

"It's y/n, okay." George whispered, hoping Alex couldn't hear his confession.

"Didn't quite catch that." Alex teased.

"It's y/n! I like, no, I love y/n."

"See, was that so hard."

"Just move."

...

3 months since your conversation with Alex. He was putting his plan into action.

"Lily, where are you taking me?"

Lily said she had an amazing surprise for you, so now you were blindfolded and being dragged to an unknown location.

"You'll see, just be patient."

A salty smell hit you. Sand beneath your feet, dipping from your weight. Seagulls squawking.

"We're here!" Lily sounded so excited.

When she removed your blindfold you were met with the most romantic picnic ever. Candles, rose petals, wicker basket.

"If you wanted to take me on a date all you had to do was ask." you laughed. Lily laughed with you.

"No, this is for you and a special someone." she couldn't stop her excited giggles.

Before you could respond, you noticed Alex in the distance leading a blindfolded George. You were speechless. When they reached the picnic, Alex had the biggest grin on his face.

"We're here." Alex said to George.

"Finally," George sounded relived and slightly annoyed, "We've been walking for ages."

When Alex removed his blindfold you felt your heart beat a hundred times faster, like it was going to jump out of your chest.

When your eyes met it was like every worry or fear you ever had was just gone. Your heart beat slowed. It was like you and George were in your own world. You didn't even notice Lily and Alex leaving.

"Y/n." George whispered after what felt like a life time.

"George."

"So we both got tricked here by Alex?" he smiled

"Yeah." you could barely believe this was happening.

In unison, you both sat down on the checkered, red picnic blanket. Opening the basket, you were met with a beautiful selection of cakes and sandwiches.

You sat for hours just talking. Reminiscing. Realising the years you both wasted, being in love with each other and being to scared to admit it.

"The baskets empty." you stated.

George didn't respond. When you turned to look at him he reached his hand up to caress your cheek softly. without a word, his lips were on yours. In that moment, everything felt right. You fit like two puzzle pieces, you were made for each other.

When you pulled away, foreheads touching still, George spoke the words you longed to hear fall from his lips for the past ten years.

"Y/n y/l/n, will you be my girlfriend?"

With a smile so big it physically hurt, you responded, "Of course, George Russell."

Your lips met again. You were in heaven and never planned to leave.

I need to know the process of max and daniel telling people in glitter. I mean, obviously there were 80 billion people who found out based on everyone being at their wedding, them casually mentioning it at f1 shoots, obviously the teams knowing, etc, but the key first reveals? Who knew, how they told them, how they took, etc, I want to know all! Also, I want all the insight of them in 2022 that you’re up for sharing with how they navigated the emotional minefield there, because the snippet you shared about the two shows such a interesting glimpse into max being in the peak of his career while his boyfriend is falling and suffering and barely eating and forcing smiles when he’s never had to before. Sorry, two very broad questions in one ask, but since we as outsiders don’t have the details, I definitely have some curiosities around these bigger topics.

Final, actually more specific question: how is Daniel with the cats?

yes, i will say that this socmed format def has one downfall and it's not being able to share the deeper details but i am very happy to just dump all of this here, hope this satisfies some of your curiosities anon!

how max and daniel tell everyone:

charles is absolutely the first person max and daniel tell, and that's just because he was the first person to catch an inkling that they may want to be more than friends. that's done with a facetime with max and daniel (which is in ch 3, charles' post). he was basically the driving force to getting maxiel together-- they got together after daniel invited max to stay in his house in perth during COVID, there’s a kookaburra called gary that taunts max to make the first move, it’s a whole thing--charles basically forced daniel to invite him over. but also, there are definitely drivers who thought they were already dating, here's a snippet from the new year's day fic, a conversation between daniel and nico hulkenburg during singapore, 2019.

Are you two okay? We’re fine I know you don’t like talking about him but you’re okay right? It’s awful when you fight with your partner, but I guess it’s worse for you cause you have to race him the next day. Nico What We’re not dating Oh Did you think I was dating Max this whole time?! Does Max know that

i don’t think they tell the rest of the drivers, probably just the ones they’re close with. if charles knows, pierre knows. when max told alex he was going to stay in australia, he laughed really loudly, gave a pat on the back to max and said “charles told me you two were always weird about each other” and walks away. so make of that what you will. they don’t tell george, he finds out from someone and feels instantly betrayed as leader of the daniel ricciardo fanclub but gets over it quickly. no one tells sebastian but they both get a “Congratulations. — Sebastian” text one random day.

max’s sister instantly finds out when he doesn’t come back to europe for lockdown. daniel doesn’t tell his mum till max has left to go back to the UK before the season starts again, but she already knew (he wore a red bull shirt with 33 on it whilst they socially distanced exchanged food with each other).

the red bull team find out during a meeting where daniel walks through the living room with a basket of laundry. they don't say anything there, but daniel receives a vague message from a number he doesn't recognise basically being like treat him right etc etc (it's GP.) the renault team were under the impression that they were dating the whole time, so no shock from them.

but i think for the first two years (2020-2022) they try and keep it as much as a secret as they can, especially because of how turbulent their careers were at that time. when daniel has his pseudo 6 month sabbatical and is back with red bull, that’s when they slowly start to talk about their relationship around everyone more. (with the help of some very strong NDAs i imagine to stop stuff from leaking. but people probably respect them enough to not leak. it’s a fictional universe, people are nicer here.)

2022:

2022 is a real turning point for them. as you put very nicely, max is at the peak of his career, daniel has never been lower. i think for both of them it's a do or die point of their relationship--i think they were kind of stuck in this honeymoon period during the first year of the relationship, but daniel going through a depressive period snaps them both out of it. obviously, i can only speak for my own fictionalised daniel ricciardo and my own experiences, but i think he just slowly stops trying. like here's what i wrote, and i think it just encapsulates what daniel feel internally throughout the year:

“Sometimes I think you are not angry enough about it. You used to fight back everything you did not like at Red Bull and now Lando says you just sit there in meetings and accept all the bad things they’ve thrown at you.”

he’s tried being nice about it, he’s tried being angry about it and none of it works, so why try anymore? but also this is when max realises that daniel needs something tangible for him to realise that max is in it for the long run, which is how the tattoo is born. it doesn’t fix all their problems, time will help, but it’s a nice thing. he doesn’t tell max but max getting a no.3 tattoo is basically a marriage proposal in his eyes and frankly it is—if someone came up to me and was like hey i got a tattoo of your racing number 3 next to where you always place your hand on me and when they’re together it reads 33 which is my racing number, i would’ve dragged their ass to the nearest government office and got married right there, but that’s just me—the actual proposal is probably in early 2023, and it’s max who proposes whilst they go on a bushwalk, he knew that daniel has bought a ring recently and wanted to catch him off guard. (proposal pic is daniel’s post on august 5th in ch3)

daniel and the cats:

the cats definitely hate him at first (i have genuinely never heard a nice, calm story from jimmy and sassy). they destroy his shoes by playing with the shoelaces, only sit on daniel’s clean laundry, sleep on his side of the bed (cats are vindictive like that) but after a couple weeks of this behaviour they probably realise that daniel’s not going anywhere. they like him more when he buys some super duper expensive cat treat and max comes to the conclusion his boyfriend has stolen the hearts of his cats.

I will never stop thinking about Seb making F1 feel less lonely for Lewis, actually.

Seb, just. Making him laugh, actively pushing himself between him and Nico when Nico became like that, becoming his favourite driver to race against, becoming his favourite rival in all of his championship fights, making so many podiums memorable, being the first to celebrate him in person after he won that title, also being the first driver to comfort him after '21, openly standing up for him in front of either the media or the FIA so many times, speaking out against injustices with him, taking the knee right next to him, I could go on but I'm about to make myself cry.

Almost 20 years.

anon you're making me want to cry too 😭 their friendship is honestly so lovely. the way they're always in each other's corners! they've got each other's backs.

you know what. like we know seb isn't above going full demon and playing mind games when it suits him, when there's a championship on the line... but he never did that with lewis, not that i ever heard of. his and lewis's rivalry OH MAN i could go on and on. they never ever let their rivalry on track reflect on their relationship off track. and i think for both of them it was refreshing, because then it could just be about the racing and nothing else. no need to worry about any off track fuckery. they knew the other one wouldn't fuck with them in order to win — anything they needed to prove to each other would be done on track. and especially after nico i think that was good for lewis. and that's why he says he and seb are his favorite f1 rivalry! like come on, there's no shortage of legendary rivalries in this sport. and he puts them all aside and says "my favorite is mine and seb's." that means something!

and i love that the rivalry never stopped them from being there for each other and celebrating each other's victories. the way lewis was there for seb's first victory with ferrari. the way seb was the first one there when lewis won the 7th. and even when things are shit! like ad21. seb was there, he literally ran after angela to comfort her and see if lewis was ok. if you've seen the clip of that moment, he looks at angela first and goes to lewis when she gives him a slight nod. the respect he has for lewis's space, that he waited to see if it was okay! and then the way he comforted lewis. you could tell from his face and body language that he was genuinely upset for his friend.

another thing that i feel matters is the way they handled missteps. baku 2017 for instance. it was a misunderstanding and they were both angry, but the second seb knew what had really happened he called lewis and cleared it out. and all lewis wanted was for seb to tell everyone lewis hadn't brake checked him, hadn't cheated, and so seb made sure everyone knew. in the press conference at austria 2017, seb repeatedly says "you are not the one i want to talk to about this, it's lewis, to me he's the most important person, and i've already spoken with him about this and we're good" despite the journalists constantly asking him and lewis. seb, who just recently said he doesn't regret multi-21, said he regretted what he had done in baku. and they've both said their relationship only got stronger from that point on.

the last couple of years... i love how seb has supported lewis without question in every single thing when it comes to their causes. i love how they're the two drivers who do this stuff every race, without fail, because they know it matters. you could argue they're two of the only ones with big enough platforms, but it's a point in their favor that they know how to use those platforms. lewis pointed out that in 70 years of this sport, no one had ever stood for something other than themselves... but seb did. seb stood by lewis when lewis was called slurs, abused for his race, for his campaigning, for his kneeling, for his activism. seb supported lewis after ad21 and when lewis was unfairly targeted with the jewelry ban this year. he spoke out for lewis after piquetgate. as someone who'd dealt with this shit his entire life, and had almost no one speak for him, i imagine this probably means the world to lewis. especially because there are things seb can say without receiving the kind of backlash lewis would if he'd said the same thing. it's not fair but it is what it is. and seb has never hesitated to stand by lewis's side and explicitly state his support.

just. i love their friendship. i love how it's an explicit fuck you to everyone who says you can't have friends in f1, that rivalries MUST be bitter and dirty. they're living proof that you can have respectful and clean rivalries while maintaining a good relationship off track. they're not going to let anyone create drama just for entertainment. and yeah, maybe wholesome friendships and clean rivalries don't make for good television. who the fuck cares? there's so much that's more important than that, and lewis and seb recognize that. they've never let anything ruin the love and respect they have for each other, and i'm damn sure that seb's retirement is not the end of that.

eleven world titles between them. most shared podiums ever. and an off track relationship that's just as significant and memorable as their on track achievements. there literally has been NO ONE like them, and i don't know if there'll ever be.

This came from a friend of mine on IG. This came directly from Mick's interview.

To think that this shitstain of an asshole is like this is not surprising to me. The very team he leads has connections to a Russian weapons maker that rains down missiles on innocent Ukrainians on a daily basis and this F1 team is fucking fuelling this useless war with their own money. Isn't this enough evidence to launch a fucking investigation into Haas F1 and into Gene Haas as well? I mean I don't want to involve politics but Haas is a Democratic donor, why in the fucking hell are the Democrats in Congress and Senate completely silent on this?!

And this shitstain has the balls to sue Haas as well? What, he's covering his ass before the shit hits the fan and Haas does get investigated? Sneaky little son of a bitch but no, YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOURS GUENTHER STEINER.

I will make sure you lose every single damn thing you own to the gutter and I won't stop until you're crying blood out of your eyes. (That's a bit too far but, yeah...) You are a gutless, spineless, money-addicted disgraceful and absolutely shameful-ass son of a bitch who shouldn't deserve anything good but negativity until the day you breathe your last.

Regardless of who the drivers are, if they continue to make you money you'll treat them humanely, but once they start to underperform or crash and damage the already shitbox of a car you have, you'll brand them as war criminals, talk shit behind their backs and shame them, even ride on their PR for your own fucking sake.

You're a sorry excuse of a man who doesn't have the balls to say what you want to say to the person who offended you. You resort to sneaky yet disrespectful tactics to drop them. You inadvertently caused some kind of psychological torment on Mick by keeping him guessing, wondering if you were going to drop him or not. That's textbook tactics for terrorists and dictators. Then you reveal it to him in a phone call at a hotel lobby? That is just fucking disrespectful of you.

If there's one or two things I want to happen before I die, it's ONE, HAVE JORDAN PETERSON GET WHACKED IN CRIMEA, and TWO, SEE YOU SUFFER FROM ALL THE EMBARRASSMENT AND SHIT YOU'VE DONE TO ALL THE DRIVERS YOU'VE EMPLOYED because frankly, you don't give a shit about their safety. All you care about is the money they make you and the PR clout.

To all the Shitstainer stans out there, hit me with everything you have because Mick's interview is all the receipts I need to own you. Because this, is clear evidence that the idol you worship like a wholesome god on the American media claptrap known as Netflix and their idiotic shitshow that is Drive to Survive? Is a fucking gutless, spineless and heartless asshole who cares more about how much money was lost due to damage rather than the safety of the driver. This is not professional F1 leadership, this is fucking insanity, hell I think Shitstainer would make a better criminal than anyone else. He'd give none of a fuck if the driver died and worry more about the damage and money lost.

Once again unto the breach Gunether Steiner.

FUCK, YOU... 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

Putting Zoo au rambles under the cut cause im thinking so hard about it

Okay so first of all we have our leading man Pierre. He quit racing in around f3 bordering f2 i wanna say and went back to school and started studying zoology. He realized that the world of racing just wasn't good for him anymore and did love animals but not in the way he'd want to be a vet so he started studying zoology. This led to a massive fight between him and Charles for what they both say were stupid reasons. Charles felt hurt that his best friend was leaving him and Pierre felt hurt that Charles "couldn't understand" why he'd want to leave in the first place. Tempers flew and they basically stopped talking altogether for like a year. During that year Pierre still kept up with Charles' formula career and Charles would sometimes ask around if anyone knew how Pierre was doing which ended up with him eventually messaging Pierre and them finding a time to talk. It was a bit of a messy talk but a year of realizing you were being stupid helped smooth things over and they started being friends again. Eventually Charles talked about Pierre potentially making up with Esteban as well and through Charles literally manhandling Pierre to Este, they were able to at least sort out any sort of lingering bad blood. Doesn't mean Pierre is still a bit of a little bitch and is somewhat curt with Este even now. Although that's how he found out Esteban had been studying wildlife rehabilitation and was most likely going to work at the same zoo he was planning to try and work for. It was a bit awkward, mostly on Pierre's side, but he could at least be professional about it.

He started working at (unnamed) zoo co-op'd with his schooling and after a few years he was graduated and dedicated his full time towards the new pandas the zoo had brought in for their growing asian enclosures. He had thrown himself into studying more about pandas in an attempt to try and get to work more often than not with these pandas and his hard work paid off. Now he's been working at the zoo for just a little under a decade but that's considered still a bit of a newbie.

George my little doe eyed boy is a marine mammal trainer they hired on after he got fired from his last job due to protesting the poor living conditions the animals had. He usually works with the sea lions and otters but he can also be seen doing small education shows about the stingrays and penguins for schools that have field trips. He prides himself on making sure everything is always clean and on time in terms of feeding and training times. It's almost a little neurotic but most just say he's more worried due to his past dealing with more sick animals at his last job. He tries not to take it too far but in particulary stressful days (due to people, animals, or other things) he can freak out a little before calming down and making sure everything gets done right. Both Pierre and Esteban admire the fact he can calm down pretty quickly but won't say it, usually ribbing him like he's their younger brother.

With Charles he's just a little guy. A two time championship winning driver little guy. He's truly just thriving and brought Ferarri back to it's former glory (because im sad) He tries his best to keep in touch with Pierre, especially once they started dating, and still does his weird little hobbies in his downtime. He shares a place with Pierre in France but still has his own place in Monaco. It's smaller and Pierre does come stay with him sometimes but more or less it's treated like a rest stop rather than his Home if you know what I mean. In F1 he quickly bonded with Alex and found out they both had friends who were working at zoos how funny. Surely they wouldn't be working at the same zoo, I mean George is british afterall (Clueless) but they're bestiess. Twitch quartet is still a thing idc you can pry that from my cold dead hands. Basically him in this au is nearly the same as usually except he's actually happy and doesn't have a shit car and team

Estie Bestie is probably who I have the least thought out in terms of "main cast" but he's still my little guy. He works more towards the rehabilitation of the animals and helps any that may have been brought into captivity due to injuries, sickness, or just conservation efforts. It also means he's the one that has to watch a lot of the animals leave the zoo in order to rejoin the wild. It's tough work but he understands that it's for them to have better lives. Working around the zoo also means he's a really good tour guide and is one that people tend to enjoy having as he is witty and makes a lot of the kids more interested than they were before which can be a shock for a lot of the more excited kids. He has a soft spot for the squirrels they have in the zoo.

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.

Okay okay okay so in honor of the Wimbledon pictures™, A Maxiel Au where Max is a tennis player and Daniel is a F1 driver. Imagine Max meeting Daniel at an athlete gala in Monaco where they instantly hit it off. Max doesn't like big events and socializing with people and just hangs out at the bar, on the other hand, Daniel is the life of the party and Max just scoffs at him and continues to drink, until Daniel joins him at the bar and just starts chatting up with Max, cause you know, Daniel is that bitch. They get talking and Max asks him if they could get out of there, Daniel agrees the next second. Daniel takes him to a bar he knows, owned by a friend, has a nice rooftop overlooking the city. They spend the entire night there drinking and telling each other stories. Daniel tells Max how he likes tennis cause it's a competitive sport and he would've seriously considered a career in the sport if he wasn't a F1 driver and Max tells him about how he visited the race track with his father and how fascinated he is by the sport. They talk about their careers and families and things their likes and dislikes and just about absolutely everything till the sun comes up and Max has to leave. He invites Daniel to Wimbledon and Daniel says he can only make it after the triple header, " So you're telling me that the only way I can have you accept my invite is to reach the semi finals? " Max asks him and Daniel let's out a laugh before agreeing, " I mean if that's what your heart desires " and Max tells him that he will try his best and leaves. Weeks later Daniel gets a text that says " Reached the Semis. I'm expecting you to wear a suit " and Daniel texts him back immediately cause he hasn't stopped thinking about Max since that night. And then Daniel obviously picks out his best suit (After bothering Blake and Michael for 2 days straight) and goes to watch Max win the Semis at Wimbledon.

#f1 #daniel ricciardo #max verstappen #maxiel #drabbles i guess????#i dont do this very often but i got so excited today

Me or him?

Pairing: Pierre Gasly x best friend!reader

Warnings: couples fight, jelousy

Summary: Your boyfriend doesn’t like Pierre and ask you to choose between them.

Part 2

Pierre and I have been best friends since we were kids, our families have always been friends and our mothers had us at the same time and since then we have been inseparable.

When he started traveling for the races we drifted apart a bit because of him being away and when he joined Formula One I was going to college for photography and as soon as I graduated Pierre made sure to get me a job at Alphatauri as his photographer.

According to him it would be a great opportunity for me, I would be able to improve my photography skills and have the freedom to take pictures of different country’s and him.

So when he moved to Alpine he dragged me with him.

But there is one thing I never imagined is that working with Pierre would become so difficult sometimes.

My boyfriend Zach was not his biggest fan, according to him Pierre was in love with me and that made him jealous.

We had so many arguments about this and almost broke up a few times because he kept insisting on something that didn't exist.

"So, I heard that Zach is coming this weekend." Pierre says after finished putting on his shoes.

"Yes, I'm very excited it's been a month since we've seen each other.”

"And you thought it would be a good idea to bring him here?"

"And what's the problem?" I ask looking at him.

"Because he hates me."

"He doesn't hate you."

"Really? Every time you and I are together he looks at me with hatred."

"That's not true, he just thinks you're in love with me and can't get that stupid idea out of his head."

At that very moment he chokes on the water he was drinking.

"My God are you okay?" I give his back a few strokes.

"Yes, I just choked on the water.”

"Isn't that silly?” I said laughing “He seems to like to insist on these things just to cause intrigue and make us fight."

"Well he's not so wrong." He says quietly but I hear him.

"What are you talking about?"

"Are you serious that you never realized?"

"Realized what?"

"That I'm really in love with you? That I have been for years and you never realized it because you get too busy with that idiot."

"Don't call him an idiot."

"And he's what then? Look at the way he is with me."

"Maybe he wouldn't be that way with you if you weren't in love with me."

"Oh so it's my fault?"

"Yes it is."

"I'm sorry then if being in love with you is a problem and I'm sorry if I'm a problem in your life." He says angrily and walks out of the drivers room and slams the door.

------

"Why are you in such a bad mood? I thought you'd be happy I was here."

"I am, I'm just not in the mood."

"What happened? Was it Pierre?"

"Actually it was." I sigh in frustration. "You were right when you said he's was love with me."

"What do you mean?"

"I told him what you thought and he confirmed it, and then we fought."

"I told you, I told you he liked you and that's why you have to stay away from him."

"I'm not going to stay away from him." At the same time Zach stopped walking and looked at me seriously.

"Really? Even after I've warned you a thousand times and even after he admitted it to your face you're still going to be friends with him?"

"Zach people just don't stop being friends with each other for these stupid reasons, him and I have been friends since we were born and that's not going to stop me from being friends with him."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes I am, what's your problem with him? He's never done anything to you."

"Yes he has, he gets in the middle of us."

"No he doesn't."

"Yes he does and you're just too dumb to notice." At this I say nothing. "I'm done."

"What do you mean with that?"

"Me or him?"

"What? Zach."

"Me or that stupid f1 driver."

"Him." At the same time he is shocked. "It's always going to be him."

Bonus scene!

Yourusername stories

Pierre’s helmet for the weekend, we love the god of speed.
