I ask this question from a curiosity standpoint, and don’t mean to seem rude or anything, but why don’t you like Daniel Ricciardo? Am I missing something?
He’s far less offensive than a lot of the other drivers. He has a tendency to awkwardly laugh rather than say “that’s a shitty joke. Not okay”, which is frustrating, but not even in the same universe as something like Lance Stroll physically assaulting his trainer.
Like all F1 drivers, he wants to be WDC and talks a big talk, but he’s still nowhere near as obnoxious as a lot of the other drivers, who all think and say the same.
Maybe my understanding isn’t correct? As far as I know, his only really shit time as a driver was with McLaren in 2022, and words like “scapegoating” and “sabotage” get thrown around a lot. In 2021, he gave McLaren its only win in over a decade, and it wasn’t team orders based, and he hauled Renault back up into the podium as well, for their first time in almost a decade. I don’t think he should have left Red Bull, and I don’t think he’s necessarily an Alonso or Verstappen level talent, but he also made those Red Bulls and Renaults that he drove look a lot better than they were.
It's not just about what a driver's like on the track; it's his attitudes off the track too and Ricciardo has really bad form. As for dragging the Renault into the points, and the Red Bull when it was underperforming - that's his job and the cars weren't that bad. If he'd swapped with one of the back markers at the time, they'd likely have performed just the same. Plus, if he made the Red Bull look better than it was, why wasn't he the one winning championships in it? Why did Vettel get all that action when all Ricciardo got was a handful of race wins?
Anyway, here's (just some of) why I firmly believe that Daniel Ricciardo is every bit as obnoxious as the most obnoxious drivers on the grid. If you don't read right to the end, and I wouldn't blame you, please at least take in the part I've highlighted in red; it pretty much sums up the type of character he is and why I - along with many others - really do feel that he's most definitely obnoxious.
“I don’t watch the news and feel better about my day so I choose not to watch it.” Just one direct quote regarding his complete and shameless ignorance about the extreme humans rights abuses prevelent in some of the countries F1 travels to. What it amounts to is that the “drama and negativity” (his own words) of news reports on out-dated and abusive attitudes to women and LGBTQ people is a buzz kill so he’d rather not know about it, thanks all the same.
His attitude to the sexist objectification of the (now thankfully defunct) Grid Girls: "It's kind of like part of the attraction of the sport, fast cars and fast girls,". In his opinion, because it’s a male dominated sport it’s “a cool thing” so “let’s keep them”. If that's not obnoxious, I don't know what is.
On “Your Mom’s House” (a lowest common denominator podcast aimed at pathetic little boys who think they’re men) he laughed along with deeply sexist, misogynistic ‘jokes’ about women. There are plenty of drivers who would, at the very least, have kept their reactions neutral, making it clear they didn’t think it funny, but not Ricciardo; he was more than content to chuckle away at their vile comments about women.
Tricking Yuki Tsunoda into trusting him to come closer on a boat so he could throw him overboard, because it’s funny to force someone to face a very real phobia of sharks by throwing them into a body of water that’s widely known to contain them. I don’t care what Tsunoda’s reaction was to it (it's common for the victim of bullying to make light of their ordeal) or that Ricciardo threw himself into the water too; it’s still an appalling way to treat someone when they’ve been brave enough to be in such close proximity to one of their greatest fears. It’s the behaviour of a bully and Ricciardo is the worst kind of that particular species – a charming bully. The reason he gets away with so much of his crappy behaviour is because so many people are taken in by a cheeky smile, a twinkle in the eyes, and the friendly disclaimer that it’s just a bit of fun; they’re just trying to lighten the mood and make people laugh. It’s always at someone else’s expense though.
Given he was in a highly competitive Red Bull for all those years, he won precious few races, and left because he wasn’t getting the attention he thought was his right. I know athletes have to have an enormous amount of self-belief but to have looked at a racer like Verstappen and sincerely felt that he was his equal? That’s delusional. But is that really how he felt? Or did he – like so many who can’t face real competition when they know someone else is going to come out on top – jump ship because being a big fish in a small pond is preferable to being outperformed and therefore second best? I don’t know which it is but if he really, genuinely, sincerely thought he was on the same level as, first, Verstappen and then Norris, surely he’s just not very bright?
Monza 2021 absolutely was a team orders win for Ricciardo. Have you listened to Norris’s radio? He was faster; he wanted to pass; he asked if he could pass; he was told to maintain position. Either the team were concerned that the two might take each other out (although I am absolutely certain that Norris could have made that move with ease so was it more a case of Ricciardo taking Norris out if he tried to overtake?) or Ricciardo’s ego was so fragile by that point (Norris had been wiping the floor with him) that they decided he needed the win to boost his confidence and get a few more much needed points for McLaren. Either way, Norris was robbed of his maiden victory because he’s a team player who obeyed team orders rather than saying “screw this; I can win and I’m damn well gonna win”. I respect him for playing the team game but I hate the fact that Ricciardo got an undeserved win at his considerable expense (that’s not hyperbole; a driver’s first F1 win really is huge).
You're probably sorry you asked now.

Racing Stripes, Chapter 23
Word Count: 1.6k
Warnings:  jealousy, slight angst, mentions of violence, punching/hitting, using alcohol as a coping mechanism. 
Tumblr media
Danny Ric pushed through the bustle of the men who were packing up, already getting ready to ship out at a moment’s notice to their next location.  He was already angry over the outcome of the choosing ceremony, and now he wanted to get through the next race as soon as possible so that he was able to spend time with Sheila. 
Portugal was a wrap.
Officially.
And while he had managed to get ninth, he was on edge.  Truth be told, it had little to do with the scene that Charles had created during the ceremony, and even more to do with the stewards.  It had been ever since the stewards and the officials within the FIA had cornered he and Sheila. 
“I think I’m going to start taking more meetings…” he said firmly as he looked at his girlfriend.  She gave him a soft frown, and he began to read her look.  They’d been talking for the past hour over what they were going to do when the babies came along, and had settled on buying a house together in Australia so that they could be closer to his family.  And the fact that she had agreed with him on that simple issue was one of the reasons he knew he loved her with all of his heart, “what they just put us through-“
“Cyril was on our side,” she reminded him gently as she reached across the table and squeezed his hand, “at least let him know what’s going on.”
He sighed, “you’re right…Cyril will at least put me in touch with other teams…everyone is so secretive this year about their contracts…I don’t even know what seats are truly confirmed for anyone.”
“Aren’t I always?” she teased, “I know that you’re upset with Renault and the fact that their leadership isn’t behind us, but I trust Cyril.  I always have.  He will help us, Daniel.”  
“Daniel!”
Danny Ric’s attention shot away from the woman he loved as he looked at the man coming from the Renault trailer. Instinctively, he went to pull Sheila even closer, knowing the past that she’d held with the former Formula 1 driver.
His brow furrowed.
“Alonso?” he asked, “what are you doing here?”
The driver with the long history smiled warmly at him.  Sheila all but gasped and ran towards him, wrapping her arms around him in an instant.  For a second, a surge of jealousy ran through the Australian before Sheila looked back at him, “DANIEL, IT’S FERNANDO!”
“It’s good to see you, love!” Fernando smiled, giving her a friendly welcome. He parted from her quickly and wrapped Daniel up in his arms next, “I’m so happy to be running into the pair of you.  From what I hear, congratulations are in order…the two of you finally got together.”
Sheila blushed, and Daniel put his arm back around his girlfriend’s waist.  His smile lit up his face as he agreed, “yeah…but that’s not all.  We’re also pregnant…”
“Technically I think she’s the one that is pregnant,” Fernando joked, pointing at Sheila, “but still.  I congratulate the two of you.  I know that you both have been in love for quite a while.  But not many pull the trigger like Vetel and his wife.”
“Well…we haven’t gone down an aisle yet…” Sheila teased as she nudged her boyfriend lovingly, “but I think we’ll head that way eventually…”
“Eventually?  Sheils, just say the word and we’ll fly to Vegas right now…we’ll go get married wedding chapel style with an Elvis impersonator!” Daniel smirked. 
Sheila giggled, knowing that if she did indeed tell him to, they would be boarding a flight and married before anyone set foot at the next race track.  She shook her head at him and absentmindedly placed a hand on the flat of her stomach.  She smiled at Fernando, “it’s twins…can you believe it?  I give this guy one chance…”
“Hey, I made it count!”
“That you did!” she giggled, leaning up to press a sweet kiss to his lips.  Daniel’s grin widened as she turned her attention back to Fernando, “what are you doing here?   I thought you jumped to IndyCar!”
Fernando shrugged noncommittally, “feeling a little homesick.  Thought about jumping back into a seat here…talking with a few teams about possibilities.”
“Yeah…I know what you mean…I don’t know what I’d do with myself if I wasn’t in my car…”
“Hmmm…” he nodded, putting his hands in his pocket, “the Renault car specifically or any car?”
Danny Ric chuckled, knowing where the conversation was going.  He had the inkling that he wasn’t taking requests from just any team, but one specifically in particular, “how long did it take before Cyril called you up?”
He shrugged once again, “does it matter?  I heard you were signing with another team next year…that means there is an open seat…”
“There is…”
“So, you’re making the move to McLaren?”
Daniel nodded, looking over at his girlfriend, “they’re willing to work around the schedule with the babies…and employing Sheila as something other than a motorsports girl when she comes back next season…even offering to hire help for the babies for us while we’re on the road.”
“Look at you,” he chuckled, “looking out for your family before it even happens…”
“So, I’ll see you on the grid next year?”
Fernando nodded, “see if you can drive a McLaren better than you drive a Renault.”
“See if you can still hold your own against us young bucks,” the Australian teased.  There seemed to be a short moment of tension, before both men chuckled, and Fernando bid Daniel farewell, “see you soon…”  
“What was that?” Sheila asked.
Daniel shrugged, already leading his girlfriend away from the building, “just a friendly conversation…”
“Sounds like someone is a little jealous…”
“Why would I be?” Daniel smiled as he playfully squeezed Sheila’s hip, “I got the girl in the long run…he didn’t.”
Tumblr media
“Come on mate…” George urged, trying to get the Monegasque driver to back down.  But he only shook his head, “Charles…this isn’t right.”
“What do you mean, it isn’t right?  She’s a motorsports girl, isn’t she?”  Charles asked as he stared Sheila down as he stood in front of her, “I choose her.”
“Sheila isn’t up for grabs for anyone other than me!” Danny Ric growled from beside her.  Sheila looked to her boyfriend and the Monegasque driver.
“Daniel…”
“It’s fine, Sheils…”
“Sheila, we have to remind you of the discussion we had last week…if you reject the driver in question, you will not be allowed to spend additional time with another driver nor will you receive your stipend for this week unless you agree to work for one of the teams doing another job.  Not spending time with other drivers includes your boyfriend.”
“It’s fine!  She said that she doesn’t want to go with Leclerc, and we’re not going to force her!” Danny Ric muttered, “but I am going to walk her back to her hotel room.”
“That is fine!” the steward sighed, “Sheila are you rejecting this driver?”
She nodded, “yes.”
Daniel was quick to speak up once more, “and I want my bonus to go directly to her so that she’s supported for the week.  She won’t have to work with the teams in another position.”
A few of the girls gasped.  They hadn’t heard of anything like that happening.  Drivers didn’t just give up their bonuses to them.
Sheila looked towards him, “Daniel…I can’t do that.  Your bonus is-“
“We share everything!” he reminded her gently, “take the week and talk to my mum and dad, yeah?  I have them sending you emails the next few days of places they looked at this past week…we were supposed to look them together, but so long as you’re happy with it, so am I.  See what you like and start buying stuff!”
“Daniel, I-“
“Ugh,” Charles groaned, “this is disgusting.   Why can’t you just fire her?  She shouldn’t be allowed to simply reject a driver because she’s knocked up!”
“Hey…why don’t we calm down, yeah?” George asked, giving the driver a sad look, “get out of here?”
Charles looked at the Brit then huffed before turning his attention to the stewards.
“Give me the cash bonus then,” Charles growled at the steward, who was taking notes of the choosing ceremony.  He turned to George, “we’re finding booze…and you’re buying!”
“But it’s just like how you had feelings for La La,” Charles sighed, continuing his hour long rant of why Sheila had all but rejected him despite how she’d serviced him before, “we had this deep connection.  I-“
“Oh my god, will you just shut up!” George growled, “I don’t want to hear about it anymore, so please just stop and enjoy your drink.”
Charles nostrils flared, his drunken stupor making him see red, “what did you just say?”
“Sheila this.  Sheila that,” he groaned as he took a heavy dreg from his pint, “she’s been with Alonso.  Raikonnen.  And now Riccairdo…she’s a motorsports girl who never saw you as anything more than a job.  At least La La and I had feelings.  I just never got to tell them to her because Max was always in the way!”
Charles’ jaw twitched, “Sheila and I had something special.”
“Oh, piss off, Charles.  No, you didn’t!” the Brit accused, “she sucked your cock, just like she sucked anyone else’s that picked her.  Hell, you admitted it yourself.  She fucked Danny Ric when she was on your time.  Clearly, she had feelings for someone…it’s just that someone wasn’t you!”
Charles completely blacked out, his anger taking over. 
Everything he felt for Danny Ric and Sheila.  All the rejection.  The anger over his own internal struggles. 
They all manifested when his arm pulled back and released, catching George in the eye.

T: Daniel Ricciardo has a history with the team as well and you worked with him 10 years ago when it was Toro Rosso. How has he changed in the time he has been away?
M: You walk in the team, you see Daniel and you see the race winning guy. You see in the car the guy who has been hunting for races and podiums. The Daniel you see in the car is the Daniel who was fighting for the very top position. For whatever reasons, I'm lucky to have in our team right now a race winning guy. The Daniel we have now is the best Daniel we have seen. Of course, he has had a rough patch in the last few years, but ironically, it's probably putting him now in the best mindset, in the best spirit, in the best energy. He has this incredible technical sensitivities. He's buying into the project, he's living Visa CashApp RB with us, he's proud of the colours. He's pushing us with all the positivity we know about him. In the start of a project like that, having a guy like Daniel with us driiving the car is a game-changer.
T: Have you talked to him about the rough patch?
M: It's very difficult from the outside to understand it [...] but i would lie if I was not telling you that this increases the attention level that we have in making sure we have the right condition around him. So we are very careful with him and he is part of that process. He is driving that process in making sure we put him in the right spot, 360* in what define in the car and outside of the car and how we manage this energy.

Racing Stripes, Chapter 16
Word Count: 1.5k
Warnings: dubcon relationship, oral (F receiving), slight angst, slight fluff.
Tumblr media
“You don’t have any right doing what you did!” she spat at the French driver.  He smirked, crossing his arms over his chest as he looked at her, “don’t you dare give me that look, Pierre!”
“Or what?” he asked teasingly from his spot on the opposite side of the bed.  Her eyes trailed down his barely dry chest and to the towel that had been riding low on his hips.  She stood silent for a moment and he licked his lips, “are you really upset that I chose you?”
“You and I-“
“Are going to have sex,” he said simply with a shrug, “what’s wrong with that?  I know you’ve been wound up pretty tight since you and Esteban broke up.  And we have good chemistry in bed, no?”
“You’re using that against me now!” she hissed as she made her way around to the other side of the bed where he stood.  She poked his bare chest, refusing to cave, “you know that-“
“What I know is that we have amazing chemistry, mon ami!” he whispered seductively to her, “you need to relax…I need to relax.  Why not relax together and have some mind blowing sex?  We both know I can have you moaning like you were my own personal whore.  And I know how you love when I talk dirty to you…I’ll have you cumming so hard on my cock…mmm, my sweet…don’t you want that?”
It was then that she noticed the towel was starting to slip further down on his hips, and his erection was not well hidden beneath it.
“Pierre…”
He smiled once again, his eyes glittering deviously.  He reached out and stroked her cheek, “what is it, mon ami?”
“I-you-“
“Use your words!” he teased as he wrapped an arm around her waist.  She gasped once again, this time feeling his erection against her.  Her throat went dry, and all she could do was gape at him like a fish, “are you feeling a little lost, mon ami?  Feeling a little…light headed?  That comes after I fuck you, you know…I haven’t fucked you stupid yet, mon ami.”
“This-this isn’t fair, Pierre.” She all but whimpered. 
He growled in response before pressing his lips to her own.  Her eyes fluttered shut as she caved, leaning into his touch.  Her hands reached up, tangling in his hair, while his kneaded the fleshy globes of her ass.  Their lips worked together as he pressed forward, and she allowed him to push her gently onto the bed. 
And like a lion to prey he broke his kiss and knelt on the ground, between her thighs, flipping the skirt of her dress up in the process.  Her lips parted as his breath ghosted over her unclothed core.  He smirked, seeing how she wasn’t wearing anything under her dress
“I think you want this as much as I do, mon petit!” She whimpered, not daring to move as his calloused hands slid up her thighs, pushing the thin fabric of her dress upwards until her mound was exposed and the fabric was bunched just above her belly button.  He raised his brow at her and grinned at how her folds were glistening, “you’re wet for me, mon ami!”
“Please…”
His fingers began needing the soft flesh of her hips, as he leaned forward until his lips were almost touching her most southern ones, “tell me what you are begging for!”
“Y-you…”
“Me?” he teased, his eyes meeting hers, “why me?  I thought you were upset that I chose you.  Thought you didn’t want this.”
“No…”
“Tell me what you want, mon ami!”  
“I-I want you!” she whimpered softly.  She reached down to grab his hair and pull him forward, but he took her hands in his own, before nuzzling her mound, “Pierre…please.”
“I will never grow tired of hearing you moan my name, mon ami.” He answered in kind.  He placed a slow, gentle kiss on her mound, before letting his lips ghost over the rest of her, his tongue lazily peaking out and sliding between her folds.
Her body stretched to meet him in response.  Her hands gripped his tighter as her back arched.  Her mouth opened in a quiet moan, which quickly grew as his tongue slid into her drenched core.  Her eyes closed and her toes curled as the Frenchman began to feast on her juices.
But Pierre couldn’t tear his eyes away from the gorgeous woman that he was in love with. 
Sure, she had been upset when he won the GP.  And she’d been angry with him when he chose her as his girl.  But now, laying in his bed…she was begging for him.  She was moaning his name and pleading that he give himself to her. 
And in time, he would. 
He knew that before he fell asleep, he was going to pull every orgasm from her that he’d been denied the chance of having due to his one-time best friend.
He knew that over the course of the week he was going to have her stuffed to the brim, full of his cock.  And he was going to love every second of it.
And he knew that this was his turning point. 
His shot at proving just how much he loved her, even if it was through the only option she was giving to him; through lust. 
Tumblr media
“This is really happening…” Bella smiled as she looked at Carlos.  The Spanish driver smiled in response.  The date had been everything that he’d hoped it would be. 
He’d managed to come in second place, and gotten to choose Bella, without anyone else standing in his way.
On top of that, the team’s mechanics, also supportive and knowing about Carlos’ long-standing crush on the motorsports girl, had turned the team trailer into a really sweet date spot for him, where there was a cute little table set up so that they could have a late meal, and a little cleared space so that they could dance the night away. 
And so, they had spent the past few hours holed up in the trailer, connecting on a whole new level. 
A romantic one.
One that, before he’d spilled his guts to her while she was Checo’s girl, he wouldn’t have been able to picture. But things had worked out in his favor.  And he’d gotten the best gift possible.  The ability for her to see him, just as he saw her.
And as the blush rose to his cheeks, he couldn’t help but fumble for his key card, “I-I don’t want you to think that you have to do anything…you know.  Anything sexual.  I just want this night to be about us, and-“
“I want to sleep with you.”
Carlos froze.
The card fell out of his hands.
His eyes widened and he looked at her, his lips parting as he began to stutter, “I uh-what?”
“I want to sleep with you, Carlos!” she admitted once more, “god, I’ve been thinking about it for months, and I mean…every single time that you picked me, I thought we would, but you never pulled the trigger on it.  And I didn’t want to be the person that pushed you into it…and I just thought, you know…you’re such a good guy.  I just thought you were picking me to be nice…”
“Bella, I’m in love with you,” Carlos reiterated, forgetting entirely about the key, and getting into the room.  He turned to her and took her hands in his own, “you’re the only woman I feel like I’ve truly connected with on this level.  I-“
But his sentence never finished. 
Both Carlos and Bella were startled when the elevator doors opened, and another driver came stumbling out, tripping over himself and going straight into the wall. 
Bella, ever the nurturing soul, rushed to see if the driver was okay. 
Carlos sighed, seeing none other than Charles Leclerc stumbling over himself as he tried to get up.
“Charles…a-are you okay?” she asked gently, attempting to help the driver stand. 
The Monegasque driver scoffed, waving her off sarcastically, “oh I’m absolutely fantastic, Bella.  Why wouldn’t I be?”
“You’re hammered, Charles!” Carlos sighed, going to the driver’s side and attempting to lift him enough so that he wasn’t putting all of his weight against Bella, “you are very drunk and you just ran into the wall!”  
“Well of course I’m drunk, Carlos,” he grumbled, “didn’t you guys hear the news?  Sheila is pregnant with Danny Ric’s baby!  And apparently it happened when I had chosen her.  So not only did I not even get her for the week that I had her, but she was hooking up with Danny Ric on the side…and they weren’t using protection.”
“I’m sorry, Charles…” Bella sighed, “having feelings for someone secretly isn’t always easy.”
“It’s easy for you guys!” he scoffed, “Carlos has been in love with you since the day you showed up.  And you always felt the same way.  That’s why I barely ever picked you.  Any idiot could see that the two of you are in love!”
“Really?” Carlos asked, his own surprise making Bella raise a brow at him.
Charles rolled his eyes, “you really are thick, aren’t you?”
“Hey…not nice, Charles…” Bella pointed out, “Carlos and I were going to get you cleaned up and take care of you…but not if you’re going to be mean!”
“We are?”
Bella gave him a sad, but hopeful look, “he needs our help, Carlos.  Please?”
Carlos sighed, knowing that the rest of the date wouldn’t end how either one of them had planned.  He didn’t give a response to Bella as he reached down and picked up the card before sliding it into the lock, “I guess we can’t leave him out here, can we?”
She shook her head at him as he rejoined her on Charles’ other side, and the young couple got him loaded onto the couch and tucked away.
“Hey Carlos?” she asked gently, looking at the Spanish driver.
“Hmm?”
She leaned forward and placed a chaste kiss to his lips, “thank you…for being a good guy…”
“Even when it includes me not getting laid, apparently…”
“Hey…” she teased, giving him a mischievous look, “we still have the rest of the week…this is just  one little bump in our plan on night one…”
“Oh…” 
“I still plan on spending the rest of the week in this bed with you…” she giggled, giving him another soft kiss.
