Lestappen battles on track - (quick analysis of the so called 'lestappen terrorism') :

Val d'Argenton 2012: The Inchident... yeah, baby lestappen be crazy. Charles pushed him a little bit wide. Max destroyed him. Completely. Completely. And then Charles pushed him into the puddle. - pure terrorism.

Austria 2019: clean battle (I'm a Max fan after all) . Stewards deemed it legal as Charles was pushed wide cuz he was behind. Max called it "hard racing, otherwise we just go home". Charles said: "hey if that's what's allowed then I'll do it too" - no terrorism.

Silverstone 2019: clean hard amazing beautiful sexy delicious racing. On the limit but always within the rules. 24 laps fighting and not once has a driver pushed the other into the barriers at 52G(yes this is a dig at lewis' race craft). Both called it the most fun of their year. - Sexy terrorism but no victims.

Suzuka 2019: first lap Inchident. Charles was at fault and received a 5 sec penalty. Followed by 10 second penalty cause his car "looked bad but is actually quite okay" when the chassis was flying away from the ferrari. - No terrorism.

Abu Dhabi 2019: gorgeous racing. Max overtook Charles. Charles passed him again. And then Max passed him one more time to score P2. Lewis Hamilton said he was so jealous watching it on the screens as he drove by in his 1 second per lap faster mercedes. - No terrorism.

Sakhir 2020: first lap Inchident. Charles paid for him trying to overtake Checo too early. Max paid for being next to Charles and not knowing that there's gravel there, it's just black gravel. - More idiocy than terrorism really.

Russia 2021: Starting P19 and P20. No Inchidents. Just almost a heart attack for me, Max and every Max fan cause Charles underestimated how close Max was to him. - No terrorism this race, which was honestly surprising.

Bahrain 2021: JUST BEAUTIFUL RACING OMG! The world wasn't ready. Everyone expected a downfall (based on the above, why tho?) And it was the exact opposite. It was hard. It was fair. It was clean. It was sexy. It was everything that two formula 1 racing drivers aspire to be. And not a single complaint over the radio. (Yes that is another dig at lewis hamilton). - no terrorism.

All in all. They're hard racers. They're fair racers. And they're always on the limit. They'll always bring you entertainment while also enjoying themselves on track. Whoever is spreading the terrorism agenda and the "they'll crash" agenda (aka me and the lovely lestappies😅) were wrong. Lestappen are just better than what we gave them credit for.

Lestappen Karting Times Masterpost!

The iconic video of their "fight" in karting (it was just an inchident, on the race)

CIK/FIA Press Conference KF2 European Championship

Charles clapping for Max going to the podium (0:00-0:03) & a part of the aforementioned press conference not included in the video above (3:27-5:00)

A steward talking to Max and Charles on the Wackersdorf race of the KF2 European Championship in 2012 (0:05-0:10)

A race in Sarno in 2012 which Charles won due to Max's mistake (Max was left behind at a gas station after that race)

The pre-final in Sarno 2012 (Max came 1st and Charles 2nd)

The Second race in Wackersdorf

A recap of the Wackersdorf races (plus footage of Max and Charles together on the podium (11:36-12:12))

The 1st Heat of the first round of the WSK Euro Series in the KZ1 category in 2013

A race in Genk in 2013 in the KZ category with Max and Charles together on the podium (27:07-30:56)

The final race of the KZ category, with Max and Charles again on the podium (and my favorite) them on the carriage/back part of a car doing a lap of the track (29:40-37:54)

Max moving his kart away so that Charles can place his own in the assigned space (1:26-1:37)

Some interesting reads:

(The first two are in French; the third one is in Dutch while the last one is in Italian thus a translator might be useful, also the sources are rather biased so take whose fault it was with a grain of salt)

A recap of the race week in Val d'Argenton (aka just an inchident place)

A description of another incident between Max and Charles which is not widely-known (near the second half of the article)

Another incident between Max and Charles (again near the second half & brief description of it)

Armando Filini (Charles' first karting team Manager) talking about Max and Charles, their incident etc.

Pictures from the karting times:

Charles' page and Max's page in the KSP site (the pictures are separated by each race they were taken, but they are watermarked)

Max's site itself also has some pictures of his karting times, with some of them including Charles (the pictures are separated by year and month so you can check 2010/11-2013 for karting)

#some of these are just races but we all like some lestappen racing together right? #be prepared for a lot of awkwardness between them in their interactions #i thought i'd gather up everything i've found so far about them karting #i hope all the links work #also some interactions or them in the same frame are very brief as you can see from the time stamps #if y'all want to talk about lestappen message me :) #lestappen #charles leclerc #max verstappen #f1 #karting

The race steward has a word with Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc at their first race together since the infamous "inchident" at Val d'Argenton one month earlier.

Max Verstappen & Charles Leclerc | WSK Euro Series KF2 | Wackersdorf 2012 🎥: [x] (June 8-10, 2012)

(Max: *nods his understanding, shakes the steward's hand* 🫤 ... meanwhile, Charles: *I refuse to even look at him* 😠)

wow we even have a tweet about val d'argenton? pity the oringinal post on facebook was deleted, i wanted to know more about their "muscled fight" from whoever was writing for charles at the time 😅

Bestie, what is this!!!

2012.

Omg. I'm dead.

Baby Charles tweeting about Val D'Argenton, about the inchident? Forget Austria 2019 - this is where Lestappen was born. Damn right, these babies' battle was trop musclée. 💪🏼

This is too much. 😭

I don’t get how you can say you are a Charles fan when you celebrate Max’s win in Austria 2019 when he won just because he pulled a dirty and illegal move on Charles.

Wait, is this diatribe about this gifset I reblogged?

Wow. 😂

Okay, ignoring the fact that you're desecrating the holy temple of Lestappen in my inbox, let's just review a few things:

Max's crimes against Charles: Austria 2019

Charles's crimes against Max: Val d'Argenton 2012, Suzuka 2019, Sakhir 2020

Charles doesn't do the "being a pussy"™ approach and certainly doesn't need you to defend him. He's perfectly capable of destroying Max on his own. But by all means, enjoy your gatekeeping and I'll just keep making banana gifs.

#charles leclerc #max verstappen #lestappen #i honestly get the best anons #it's not even a question #do YOU get to have this much fun with your inbox? #elle.ask #anon 😘 #holy temple of lestappen = red bull ring 2019 #let the record be clear #put some respect on charles leclerc's name #stop defending him like he's some kind of a pussy
