hi could you please write how all the f1 boys would handle fans comments about their gf not being conventionally attractive or being plus size? esp george or logan 🩵

Hii ! I didn't write how all of the f1 drivers cuz it would be too much but I did write George and Logan. Also sorry for taking a little time, I was swamped with classes this week 🫶

F1 DRIVERS DEFENDING YOU ON

YOUR APPEARANCE

( include piastri, norris, leclerc, sainz, hamilton, george, verstappen, ricciardo, sargeant & gasly )

warning : insecurities ??, things related to physical appearance, body ect...

note : i don't know if my warnings are accurate lol

─ OSCAR PIASTRI

to him, you were the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. so of course, seeing those awful comments about your appearance, face and even body makes him so damn furious. in front of people, especially in front of cameras, he would defends you in an implicit way, more like voice up about body positivity and respect every type of body. but in private, when there's only you two, he'll never stop bringing about how perfect and gorgeous you look, and that he'll cherish you for the rest of his life.

─ LANDO NORRIS

boy would be mad mad. ain't no way for him to let anyone talk about you in such a disrespectful and bad way. he'll make sure you're always comfortable and secure with your own body and appearance, by praising your beauty literally every single hour. and he doesn't think twice before rejecting every single one person who talks badly about you. he always posts some stories about you, where he basically overwhelms you by compliments and obviously to fuck off your haters in his sassy way.

─ CHARLES LECLERC

he was actually shocked by the fact people hate on your body and appearance because he literally loves these parts of you. first he'll reassure you, comforts you because after all you being a goddess is just the truth. and then he would reply to every hate comments about you, defending you like it was the end of his life. he reminds you everyday to not feel bad and guilty about yourself, to not listen to those bullshit because not a single one from them are real. just listen to him and his devoted compliments.

─ CARLOS SAINZ

it's simple, if someone talks bad about you then he'll talk bad about them. his girl is the definition of beauty and perfection. he genuinely doesn't care about your attractiveness or your body weight, cause he'll love these things anyway. he's always so enamored by how beautiful you look, and he needs people to know that. so whenever someone is insulting you, he just reminds them that there is nothing more shameful than attacking a marvel like you. a gem of beauty like you.

─ LEWIS HAMILTON

i know for sure he'll immediately defends you. and the cause in general, doing an inspired speech about bodies. he doesn't really insults or disrespect people too, cause after all he prefers keeping that energy to compliment you. but still, he makes sure haters won't never ever again talk about you in a horrible way. then he'll suggest you to stop social medias and just give up on your phone for a bit, to only focus on his words and your natural beauty.

─ GEORGE RUSSEL

first, his priority is you. by the second he saw those comments, he immediately look out for you. even if you haven't seen the comments, he's already there to reassure you. to shower you of heartwarming compliments and just genuinely appreciate your beauty, praising your curves and your body. then he'll try to ensure that you are not aware of these messages, that at no time you'll be confronted with bad comments about you. he makes it a promise, because you deserve it.

─ MAX VERSTAPPEN

the man is out of control when it comes to you. and especially when there are negative comments about your physique. it’s something he loves about you, something he adores deeply. he can literally admire you for hours without getting bored. there is so much perfection in your body. and no need to talk about your attractiveness. so as long as you know that, you're fine. but if those comments get out of hand, then he's not afraid to speak up and talk shit about whoever is insulting you.

─ DANIEL RICCIARDO

if there's one thing he can't tolerate, it's seeing you depressed because of hateful comments. he doesn't understand at all why people would hate on such a beautiful and amazing person like you ? but other than that, he'll be the best comfort boyfriend. he makes you laugh, your cheeks ache because of smiling too hard. he'll try to improve your mood by telling you funny jokes, stories, everything that makes you feel better. and on the other hand, secretly defending you on social medias by using some fake account.

─ LOGAN SARGEANT

boy is so protective towards you. maybe even overprotective. but that's his way to keep you away from bad things, such as awful comments about your physical appearance. he defends you for sure. more than anything else, day and night, he puts all of his anger into his replies to shut their mouths. and that both in public and on platforms. he doesn't understand why people don't recognize the beauty of your face, body, or even personality. just everything about yourself actually. cause you can be sure he's so fucking in love with these aspects of you.

─ PIERRE GASLY

oh man is mad. super mad even. you're literally the most precious person to his eyes, and by that logic the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. you're a piece of art, and people should know this. he won't hesitate twice before calling names the ones who disrespect you. maybe he's a bit too harsh but they just deserve it, nobody can talk bad about you, it's impossible for him. and then you can be sure he'll shower you in lot of compliments the next few weeks. telling you how gorgeous you are.

max verstappen,

careful max verstappen

just y/n and max being the main couple of the paddock

warnings: smut, angst. bad writing spelling mistakes will fix them later on

might do a part two, let me know if you want it. enjoy!!!

PART ONE, fluff

“be careful” you mumbled into your lovers shoulder, as you was standing in between his legs as max was sitting on the side of the red bull garage, getting ready for the French gp.

“always am” he smirked, as he lifted you up by your thighs just as jos walked into the garage talking to a engineer. you and jos had an interesting relationship, he thought you didn’t deserved max and you thought he was way too hard on max, but you was respectful and kept quite for maxs sake.

“think your needed” you whispered, you sensed joss eyes on the two of you, you went to unwrap your legs around his waist, “hm no stay” he protested, nuzzling his head in your shoulder and down you cleavage “er not happening” you tutted and pulled his head back seeing him frown “your might be cute verstappen,we are not doing this in public” you pecked his lips.

“jè bent zo mooi” he mumbled on your lips “cute. but I have no idea what your saying”

your so beautiful

About ten minutes later you was watching boyfriend of four years, getting ready to put his helmet on. “hi baby”you whispered into his ear as you give his a kiss into his helmet, “drive safe yeah” you nodded as he agreed as he pulled you into his arms “stay in the garage and I’ll tell Christian to give you an head set” his broken English not helping the matter as he mumbled through his helmet as you placed another kiss into the top of his helmet.

“I love you” you mumbled into his arms “I love you too”as the moves to walk away you smack his arse and smirked as he shook his head.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“MAX VERSTAPPEN, WHO STARTED ON THE FRONT ROW, SEES THE CHECKERED FLAG” you’re smile couldn’t get any bigger as you stand up and clap, taking the headset off you look up and see Christian walking (more like skipping) towards you and giving you a hug, “he’s more than a champion” he whispered while walking you towards the barriers

Your hand finds your necklace as you wach max get out of the car and runs towards the red bull crew, looking down you see MV33, max brought it you on your second anniversary, you never took it off even when you fought or during the bad times you always had it on.

You’re snapped out of you memory when Max comes pacing straight into you, immediately wrapping your arms around his neck “so so so proud” you speak as you press a kiss into his neck (more like his race suit) “every race I win is for you y/n, ik houd van je he”

i love you

you smile as George and Lewis make their way to the podium, clapping along. Tears start to blur your eyesight as your lover comes running into the first place podium-giving the fans a wave, he points to you, giving him a little wave as you other hand tries to wipe away the hot tears strolling down you face. God you’re love for max will never change

PART TWO fluff,smut

“no fuck off!” is all your hear while your doing the washing up, soft radio station your listening to flows through the kitchen, grabbing maxs cup of coffee you make your way into his gaming room, your careful not to make too much noise as you know he’s streaming.

You softly open the door, as your set his drink into his table, “mhm thank you Schat” as you place a kiss into his forehead “yeah she is” you hear him talking to whoever is speaking in his headset.

treasure

you go to walk out but his hand grabs into yours and pulling you into his lap, “hi maxy” you giggle as you move a piece of hair that has come undone with his hair gel, arms wrapped around his neck and into the back of his chair, “piss off lando” he says as he wraps his arms around your waist, you lean you head against his so you can hear whoever’s talking.

“y/n is max daddy?” you hear a British voice speak out, you throw your head back as you laugh while max shakes his head ”he most definitely is” you giggle into the headset “oi you” max pinches your sides “what you are” you whisper and you get off his lap as you feel a sharp smack to your ass ans run off as your laughter runs through the house.

your in the bathroom brushing you teeth when you hear max walk in as you feel his arms wrapping around your waist and his hands glide up your pyjama top, his cold hand make you shiver.

“so I’m daddy? hm” you can hear the smirk in his voice you don’t even have to look at him “shut up” you smack his chest while you turn around “wanna talk a quick shower with me” he mumbled into your neck as he pressed a few kisses there “meh it won’t be quick though will it” you say as your arms wrapped around his waist “please” he begged, you pulled his shirt over his head “take that as a yes” he smiled happily

“always so rough” you pout as you head hit the shower wall. “why are you complaining? your normally beging for it” max smirks as his lips glides across your chest.

"Oh, fuc-k," he muttered. He tightened his grip on your thigh, squeezing, then pulled you closer towards him and wrapped your leg around his waist. "There."

Your head knocked against the shower wall as he began to thrust, gently. The angle was so deep that your moans of approval were impossible to swallow and you diverted your eyes, squeezed them shut to focus on the building pleasure.

His pace was suddenly faster, bruising, his hips working into you relentlessly, punishingly and with nothing to hold onto your hand reached out for the tap, the other clawing at the marble beneath you.

"Fuckkkk..." you groaned and dug the heel of your foot into his back. Your head knocked against the wall again and you could barely keep your eyes open, maxs hand somehow found your throat and he gave it a squeeze.

You felt everything threatening to spill out of you, your control, professions of devotion, cursing and moaning as your walls clenched around his thickness and still he moved you, rocked you into the wall.

your couldn’t hold on any longer, max’s broken English and his Moans went straight through you.

Max groaned loudly and you fell over the edge with him, falling away from the room, the almighty noise you'd just heard and instead deep into the euphoria of your orgasm, your walls contracting and melting around him as he came deep inside you, still squeezing your throat, still thrusting back and forth with the little energy he had left. He was panting, but leant in to kiss you, parting your lips with his, his thumb stroking your throat again, soothing the pain and pleasure he'd caused.

“another round” he asked you looked at him, your look alone told him his answer “okay,alright only asked, as he slipped out of you, he pressed a kiss into the side of you head as he helped you clean up and into bed.

PART THREE,

“i love you” you whisper, “you make me the happiest, don’t want anyone else but you” you say while you play with his hair.

The two laid in bed together, both of you tangled up in one another.

“I love you- ow!” max was cut of by your hand squeezing his nipple piercing, “sorry-“ you cut yourself off by laughing “I couldn’t help it baby” as you look up at him frowning, “awh baby” you wrapped your arms around him, “you look so cute!!” you squeal as you press a long kiss into his lips, “mhm what we doing today” he asked.

“Your family are coming round at five” your glance at the clock 12:36 “so we have allll day” you smirk as you slid a hand down maxs stomach.

“babe, you ready? said we’d meet them in five” maxs voice echoes through the bathroom “yeah! just-“ you quick shove the test in you make up bag “give me a min” you reply back.

Both you and max has discussed having kids, but the subject of when to have them haven’t popped up, you worried that he might not want them yet, or that he might walk out, and the four years with the love of your life was for nothing.

You put a smile on your face and walk out of the bathroom to see Max with his hands in his pocket of his grey shorts, he looks handsome with a classic white shirt.

“you look beautiful, my dovè” max presses a kiss to the side of you head “you should wear white more often” he smiles smiles softly at you as you look down and smooth your dress out.

“just need to put my heels on and we are ready to go” you say while sliding one heel on and using maxs shoulder to help you, “shall we” you threw you head back in laughter as max out his arm out for you “ we shall” you put slid your arm through his.

“you okay,you seem quite” max asks while walking to the restaurant you had booked, “yeah I’m okay” you smiled at him, you hated lying to him, he was your bestfriend, your lover, your soulmate, and you couldn’t lose him.

When you arrived at the restaurant maxs mom, and sister was already there, you both greeted each other as you kissed sophies-maxs mums- cheek and doing the same with his sister Victoria.

“I want you to meet someone” Victoria smiled at you, your looked at max and he smirked, and nodded his head.

“oh my gosh, he’s gorgeous” you exclaimed as Victoria passed your her son.

"I have a feeling I'm about to loose my cuddle time,"max laughed, as his family joined him

you shook your head as you stared at the small boy who was in your lovers sisters arms. "It's okay, you keep a hold of him, it's a good look on you," she joked and gently brushed your thumb over the child's cheek.

“hi” you whispered, you couldn’t help but think about max as a dad, well let’s be honest he already is.

"Having fun there, babe? Making a new friend? He's a great conversationalist if you ask me," max joked.

you both sat down, as you passed the bundle of joy to its mom, “where’s dad” max asked confused, “he’s running-“ “speak of the devil as they say” Sophie smiled across to you.

“hi dad” max greeted his father giving him a hug, “hi jos” you smiled sweetly as you stood up to greet him, you didn’t have the best ‘bond’ if you want to call it that but you got on because of max.

an hour later, you was all finishing up your meal, Max’s hand on your thigh, “still can’t believe that max has actually got a girlfriend” his sister laughed.

“only for about 5 years” max mumbled eating the last bit of his meal, “still can’t believe you had another baby and hid it from me!” you changed to subject.

“Maxs fault for keeping you to himself!” She answered back to you.

“can you blame me” max said underneath his breath, “pass me my nephew!” he exclaimed holding the bit in his arms.

“he’ll make a great dad” Sophie nudged your hand under the table, “I know” you smiled the moment was ruined when jos spoke..

“he will but not at the moment, still got at least five more years until he starts thinking about that stuff” jos stated, your heart broke, he was right. max had world championships to think about not you and a baby.

“That’s not your discussion to make jos, he’s ready when he wants to be” Sophie clapped back at your ex husband.

tears burned in your eyes as the table argued, you would have to raise this baby on your own.

“Hey hey hey, you okay y/n/n” Victoria asked across the table and reaching across to comfort you, you kept you head down, the tears getting worse down your face.

Maxs head snapped in your direction “y/n doll what’s the matter?” “can’t” your shook your head max bending down in front of you pressing his slightly cold hand to your cheek.

“talk to me mooie meid” he spoke softly, you could feel his family looking at you both, you let out a sob you hands shaking slightly.

pretty girl

“why are you crying? Talk to me please y/n” his hand going around you to pull you into his chest.

“I’m-“ you broke out a whisper “take your time y/n/n” “I’m pr-regnant” you whispered to him, crying even more heavily, you could feel his hand rubbing your back.

“it’s okay, we’re going to be okay” pulling you even closer, “we’re going to be a family, yeah” he mumbled “you’re happy? your not leaving us” you happily cried.

“of course I am, always going to be you” the two of you was in your own little bubble, while all of this was going on jos was not happy..

…

“again?!” maxs laughter filled the room, as you get up and waddle to the bathroom “not my fault” you grumbled “your child’s!” your jokily pointed a finger at him.

“are you sure you will be okay?” Maxs voice shouted through the bathroom.

“going to the bathroom? I’m sure max” you giggled “that’s not what I meant” he sighed.

you were pregnant. Eight months pregnant to be exact. Max was fussing and worrying about you constantly as your bump grew bigger and bigger and you got increasingly uncomfortable as the months went on.

"maxie, I promise you I'm okay and I can go, it's just your family, sure they can be a little overwhelming but they'll just let me sit around and chill. They'll be just as fussy as you, i love it. You’ll hate it," you told him and max stared at you with a stern expression. "Lighten up," you said and he sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

PART FOUR

"Hello”max mumbled as he bent over into the crib to pull his newborn into his arms as she cried. "Did you sleep well?" He asked as he cradled her in his arms, still unable to comprehend how small she was and that you had created her. "Shall we go and get some milk, would you like some breakfast?" He asked again even though he wasn't going to get an answer but her cries soothed as he spoke, calming her all the way down before he left the room and headed towards yours.

You were still sleeping soundly and max hated to wake you so laid his little girl on his chest and just admired how beautiful she was, tears creeping into his eyes as the overwhelming flood of emotions took over. Her eyes were light pale brown like his but had this beautiful tint in the light which came from your side of the family. She had your little nose which she scrunched up whenever she was about to wake up and always made him smile at how adorable it was.

Her lips were a mix of you both, they mirrored your shape but she had the beautiful natural rosy tint of Maxs that pouted in the same way that his did.

She had his little baby ears and the blonde hair that he had as a child, it already started to curl slightly which made him smile proudly. Her overall face shape was yours and he loved that every time he looked at her it was a perfect mix of the two of you looking back.

….

It had been four years since max last won a championship, four years since he'd last stepped onto a formula one car. Four years ago you'd fallen pregnant and max couldn't have been happier at the news and instantly stopped all plans for the next season, insisting that you and the baby were his priority for the next few years.

He still trained, and then the tiny bundle of joy that sat in his office on the play mat when you needed him to watch over her so you could take a moment for yourself. Max obviously agreed without a second thought, loving the little girl even more than you which he never thought would be possible but he couldn't help it. She was the new light of his life and he would spend every second of his life with her if he could.

“right daddy has to go” max told the little girl, bending down and giving her a quick kiss to the head.

“see you later darling?” he questioners you as he stands back up and wraps your arms around him.

“mhm yeah we’ll be there too see you win” you kiss him, “hopefully” he answers and placing a quick slap to your ass before grabbing his stuff and heads out.

🃏

“AND NOW AS MAX VERSTAPPEN ROUNDS THE FINAL CORNER, YOUR 2025 CHAMPION IS MAX VERSTAPPEN” fills your ears, your daughter being lifted up by jos as her laughter is also in the air.

“he did it y/n all because of you” Christian pulls you into him as max parks his car, your hand are on to your face, tears pouring down you face.

max runs to his team, it’s all a blur to you really, max running towards you helmet still on his head.

you squealed before wrapping your arms around his neck. His team around him stood up to applaud “so fucking proud max!” you kiss his helmet one last time before he is also lifted up into the air by his team.

Jos passes you daughter to max “be careful you two!” You shout.

some time later, max had his interview.

"Daddy won!" y/d/n shouted, her voice being picked up by the mic and max instantly burst into laughter along with the crowd.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down and went to speak again but looked to the little girl on his hip and began to laugh again. "Oh dear," he chuckled. "Yes sweetie, daddy did win yeah," he confirmed and the crowd cooed.

"Lalalala," she began to sing as max continued with his speech and she kicked her legs back and forth from where she was sat on his hip.

You dropped your head to your hand from where you were stood and laughed at them. He had insisted she went up with him since he didn't want to experience it without her but you were starting to think he was regretting his decision. "Shh," he laughed and pressed a kiss to her cheek.

"Just-" he looked to her to see her smiling back at him now in silence, "Just want to thank all my incredible fans for supporting me, throughout the crew and now it means a lot; we all appreciate your continued support. Also want to thank this troublemaker," he said as she applause died down and poked the little girl in her pudgy tummy.

"I am no twoublemaker!" She exclaimed and the audience laughed at her sass.

Max laughed and glanced towards you before looking back to y/d/n "Oh you are, thank you my little love-

"Me?!" Y/d/n said in shock, hand against her chest and max burst into laughter once again and pulled her closer to him to press a kiss to her cheek since he was sure he couldn't love her more than he loved her right now when she was simply being herself despite the watching eyes and making this moment even more memorable for him.

"Yes you, thank you for understanding when daddy couldn't come and play because he had to do some work, thank you for understanding that sometimes daddy couldn't read you a bedtime story because he had an important phone call or meeting, and thank you for being a good girl for Mummy when daddy's been away for long bits of time," he said sincerely and smiled at her.

She wrapped both her arms around his neck and planted a kiss to his cheek, "I wove you daddy! Daddy won!" She reminded everyone and max grinned at her before looking back to where you were in the audience.

"A final thank you to my beautiful wife, I can't thank you enough for what you do for me- for us. You're beyond incredible and we love you so much for supporting what we do-"

y/d/n gasped in maxs arms when she spotted you and waved excitedly. "Wove you Mummy! Mummy won?" She asked max and he sighed before laughing.

"Mummy always wins love," he told her simply, ignoring the aww of the crowd as they heard him through the microphone. "Thank you all so much, this means the world, I love you all, thank you," he finally concluded and dipped his head in a thanks.

have this unfiltered verbal diarrhea 🤗

after a night of careful reflection i still believe lewis was not a 100% at fault irrespective of whether he has taken the responsibility for it followed by apology world tour or not. but there are clearly bigger issues here that this social media facade is just not able to hide and that worries me.

the treatment they're giving lewis is just shocking and unacceptable given what he brings to the table. even if i put aside the megastar status (which i'm not sure i should, considering they never shy away from using it for securing the bag and engagement), he is still their leading driver in the championship. he has scored 60% of the team's points and the only pole so far, in an effort for P2 in wcc. he is closing in on 2nd in the wdc despite being in the 3rd or 4th fastest car. by that logic alone he should never be subjected to all these shenanigans.

no matter which way you slice it, lewis is always the one with the short end of the stick. he is always the scapegoat. he is always the one taken for granted. he is the one covering up the clear mismanagement. instead of getting full support from the team he is the one out there assuring team harmony to the media, apologizing for a racing incident which it shouldn't have been considering he was the one who trusted the team and his teammate with whatever the fuck that tire strategy was and was the one who got dnf'd.

i know he will be the bigger person just to protect his peace and with constant target on his back no matter what he does, because god forbid a black man expresses himself the way his white counterparts do. i'm not asking for the sassy LH back either. all i want them to do is be fair. it's this glaring disparity they need to be ashamed of and sort out as soon as possible. well they've stolen his words "we win and we lose together" they might as well act like it. we've seen clear examples of the tone they're setting for this, especially after the two dnfs.

and lewis said that's my role. i just want to know what he meant by that? role in what capacity? is he the team principal now and taking the fall for everything? or has he signed on to be the team's punching bag with the new contract? i'm not being dramatic when i say this. his teammate dnf'd through his own fault & lewis got the podium and got silent treatment in return instead of celebration but when he dnf'd after the teammate disregarded previously agreed upon strategy, he's again the one getting gaslit into apologizing in front of the world instead? there has to be a way to explain this.

and i'm ride or die for him. i believe he can and should and will do whatever necessary to protect his sanity. maybe he's in too deep with that kumbaya shit and damn, good for him. full support to that. the question remains — why must he? i refuse to move on from every little thing by saying oh he is a better person than me. oh the sport doesn't deserve him. oh he has matured. oh it's not that deep. and by the way, his teammate can own up to his mistakes and see clearly in mirrors when it's any of the other 18 drivers so those excuses don't work for me. and no, replacing the teammate or bringing back valtteri will not sort this out. it's for mercedes and toto to decide and prove to lewis if his faith in them is justified? they have created this and they must sort it out.

this is about basic respect as a human being that this sport and fans have NEVER granted him. it's sad to see his team do it too. this is about reciprocity. has the team or teammate apologized to him for the recent fuck ups? no! but he does something slightly wrong and they're parading him on social media, making him apologize on camera, weaponizing his magnanimity against him to act like they forgive all his fucks ups?? and i'm supposed to sit in silence about this?

#anons are open if anybody wants to vent or put me in my place with a reasonable argument

So we have this

The 4th place in WDC does not interest me. The 2nd place in WCC would be good, i’d like for the team to finish in front of MERC at the end of this weekend. they worked like crazy to give us the upgrades earlier. we deserve to finish 2nd at the end of the year — Charles Leclerс via leclerc data translate of the article

and this:

Today, the last two weekends — this last weekend in general — hasn’t gone like I expected or like we wanted to finish the year. Honestly I’m very disappointed and obviously not happy, given how close it was in the end with the constructors’ championship. I think it’s fair. I think we’ve had our moments with where we’ve been quicker. I think Mercedes have had their moments when they’ve been quicker. Overall, maybe a bit of reliability here and there — probably overall I think we’ve been a quicker car — but they’ve been a little bit more consistent than us anyway. — Carlos Sainz via article

And now we come to the tricky part. Did Carlos say something extremely inappropriate? No. I think all of us have had similar thoughts at some point.

Did Ferrari lose P2 in Abu Dhabi? Yes. We could debate whether they had already lost it in Bahrain or any other race where Ferrari cost Charles points. But that would be entering the realm of "what if" scenarios with too many variables. It's like saying Lewis lost his 2021 title in Baku, which is nonsense.

Ferrari entered Abu Dhabi with a 4-point difference and ended up losing. That's true.

But should Carlos claim it was fair? No. It's another case of lacking PR training or something else, but he had no right to go to the press and say "it was fair" when his performance (regardless of whether it was directly his lack of pace or the car's) was the reason why the team lost. All he needed to do was to say "I'm sorry for the team that worked so hard" (and not degrade the car actually). That's it. It's not rocket science. But he chose what he chose.

He has been here for 3 full years. He's just here. I understand if he doesn't have a passion for Ferrari, okay, you can't force someone to love something.

But the lack of respect he shows is frustrating. Over the past two years, he has said and done so many things that have actually harmed the team, and he has never been able to show gratitude for everything this team has done for him. It's insane.

And then he complained that he isn't loved by the tifosi.

#seriously I could forgive his ego his mediocrity if only he had shown some passion or respect for the team #scuderia ferrari #charles leclerc #carlos sainz junior #anti carlos sainz

In response with the challenge to kinda give u an idea which u can make a story out of that’ll make u cry ,

A critically ill Nico trying to contact Lewis, but since the number is unregistered, Lewis refused to pick up. Nico thought that was Lewis response, thought he hadn’t forgiven him yet, and just settled for a written letter, forbidding anyone from telling him (since it’s clear that he was not interested). It took some friends (their former grid mates) hounding and screaming at Lewis for him to go and visit, but once he went, it’s already too late, Nico is gone. And Lewis can only fall to his knees, beg Nico to answer, and upon reading the letter, he can only cry, he came too late, he was too late.

Ah nonnie, you really took my challenge to heart and I absolutely love you for that!

Y'all better be ready....

Warning: character death

Nico just stares at the doctor when he shows him his test results.

They're not good. Not good at all.

A month. Maybe two. That's all they're giving him.

It's not fair. It's not fair at all.

What has he ever done wrong to deserve this.

There's no cure, so Nico refuses any kind of treatment.

It might give him a longer lifespan, but he doesn't care if it's not a lifelong cure.

He has a month to say goodbye to his loved ones.

His parents, his kids, his ex-wife, his friends.

And that one person who's always in the back of his mind.

The person he ends up calling first when he walks out of the doctor's cabinet at the hospital.

His phone's dead, he forgot to charge it, so he manages to ask a nurse where he can make a call.

How he actually manages to do that is all a blur to him.

It's a damn pay phone. He didn't even know they still existed.

Luckily he doesn't need his phone to get the number. He memorized it by heart.

It goes to voicemail. Of course it does.

Why did he even call him?

He hangs the phone back up with a sigh, not leaving a message.

He's gonna go say goodbye to the people who do still care about him.

He was just a fool to believe that mister 7 time world champion was still one of those people.

~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~

He decides to gather all of them all together, so he only has to explain himself and do this once.

And with them he doesn't mean his family and closest friends, because they already know.

'Them' are past and current f1 drivers Nico's always liked and vice versa.

He explains what's going on and does his personal goodbyes. But before he lets them leave his apartment, he forces them to do one last thing for him.....

"You can't tell Lewis." As expected, some of them are ready to argue (especially Sebastian), so he holds up his hand and continues. "He didn't pick up his phone when I called him. I don't think he'll care. Please. Swear to me that none of you will tell him."

They eventually assure him that they won't tell his long lost childhood friend that he's dying.

But he doesn't trust them. He knows them.

Nico leaves the next day to Greece.

It's the one place he knows he can find peace at before he dies.

Covered in memories.

~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~

"You need to talk to Nico."

Lewis frowns at Daniel, who's pulled him aside.

As if Seb's bombardment of texts weren't enough, now Daniel started too?

"Why would I do that?" it's not like Nico had been trying to talk to him either.

"Because.... I just think you guys need to talk. It's important, Lewis."

And okay, being told a million times in texts by someone is one thing, but getting the message in person hits differently.

Daniel's facial expressions and whole body language are very worrying.

"Okay, what's going on here? First cryptic texts from Seb. Now you." Lewis crosses his arms over his chest. "What is this about Nico that's so important?"

Daniel shakes his head, "I can't tell you. You need to hear it from him."

"Daniel - - -"

"He's in Greece. You probably know where." Daniel puts his hand on Lewis' arm and gives it a squeeze. "Don't wait too long."

That last sentence was so ominous, it gave him the shivers.

Greece.

He had to get there as soon as he could.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~

Watching the sunset one last time on his balcony really was beautiful.

It was time. He knew it was.

The nurse who cared for him at the house he bought had brought him to the balcony in his wheelchair.

He was too weak to walk anymore. He was too weak to do anything that was really physical.

He could still write a little, so, writing his name at the end of the letter he spend too much time on writing.

His hands were shaking as he folded the letter so it would fit into the envelope.

'Lewis' was written on the front of the envelope.

He gave the envelope to his house nurse.

"Make sure he gets this."

He doesn't know how she would do it, but, she promised him she'd deliver the letter and he has a feeling she'd do anything to make that happen.

"You may leave now."

He can feel her hands on his shoulders. The soft kiss dropped into his hair. Footsteps walking away.

He stares out into the sunset and smiles.

It's time.

'Goodbye Lew....'

~~~~~~~~~~***************~~~~~~~~~~

Lewis doesn't have to go searching where Nico is when he arrives in Greece.

He still knows the address and the way to it like the back of his hand.

The building still looks the same as when he was young.

Except for now - - - Now there's an ambulance parked in front of the door.

Two men riding a stretcher come out of the door. There's a body on the stretcher.

A very still body. Covered with a sheet.

There's some blond hair sticking out at the top---

No.

No no no no.....

This can't be happening.

It can't be him.

But it is him.

As the stretcher rattles on the stones in the driveway, the sheet drops a little and Lewis can see the beautiful face of his once called best friend.

Lewis can't move. All he can do is stare at the lifeless face.

He jumps when he feels a hand on his shoulder. It's a feminine hand and for a second he's scared to be faced with Vivian, but as he turns around, it's not her.

It's a woman with a nurse badge pinned to her skirt.

"Sir Lewis Hamilton?"

All he can do is nod. It's not rare that people recognize him of course.

He looks surprised when she holds out an envelope, eyes widening when he recognizes the handwriting.

"I've been mister Rosberg's nurse up until his last day. He asked me to give you this letter. Everything is explained inside it."

His hand is shaking as he takes the envelope from her hand and opens up the envelope.

"I'll leave you to it," the nurse says softly, resting her hand on his back for a moment before walking back inside.

Lewis unfolds the letter, holding it in one shaking hand as he reads.

*-*

Lew, (I refuse to write dear)

If you're reading this letter, it means I'm not here anymore.

Truth is, I've been sick for some time now and it's taken its toll.

About 2 months ago I found out I was terminally ill.

Weirdly enough, you were the first one I called. You didn't pick up.

Now that I think back on it, I think it's maybe because I called with a payphone at the hospital.

Back then I thought you still hadn't forgiven me.

And after that, I just didn't want to bother you, because I didn't think you'd care.

I told some of our old friends of the grid and made them promise not to tell you anything.

If you're reading this, it means they kept their promise.

Or you couldn't come sooner.

Or....

You just didn't care.

I really hope it's not the latter.

I want you to know that this house is yours now.

You can do with it what you want.

The paperwork is ready for you to be signed. Then it's not the Rosberg vacation home anymore.

Whatever you do, I hope you still cherish the memories.

Oh.... I changed the house number. Had to pull some strings, but I did it. And it's worth it.

If you haven't already seen it, just look on the door.

I hope you think it was worth it too.

If there's one thing that I usually wasn't, it's a coward.

But one thing I regret not telling you is - - -

I love you, Lewis.

I finally found the balls to say it.

Now when it's too late.

Please don't hate me.

Live your life to the fullest.

Make me even prouder than I already was, am, and always will be.

Goodbye, Pu.

Yours,

Nico

P.S. I came to Greece to spend my last days at the place I always felt closest to you. It helped me. I hope it'll help you too. If you decide to keep the house.

*-*

He's shaking.

His whole body is trembling as one hand is clutching the letter, the oher clasped to his mouth.

He looks up at the door and he almost drops the letter.

On the door, painted in need black lettering, is the number '644'.

It's too much.

Lewis drops to his knees, biting into his own hand as a devastating sob rips through his throat.

He wants to scream but he can't.

All he can do is clutch on to the letter and cry.

Cry until he has no more tears left.

He was too late.......

Too late to even say goodbye.

~~~~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~~

Newsflash: F1's 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg passed away at his family's vacation house in Greece. His family hopes their privacy will be respected as they mourn their loved one.

~~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~

Newsflash: F1's 7 times world champion Lewis Hamilton has announced his retirement from the sport. Rumors say he's moving to Greece but the former driver has given no comments on it yet. What definitely is the truth is that this man will be sorely missed on the grid.

~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~

Newsflash: Sir Lewis Hamilton spotted in Greece, brandishing his new clothing line; 'Pu 644'. Where it comes from, our guess is as good as yours. We're thinking a certain childhood friendship definitely needed to be honored in style.

I miss selkie Max and i wrote a lil bit for it so here goes a snippet xoxoxo

The selkie was barely covered by the thin, white slipdress he was wearing, eyes wide and cautious as they flickered between Lewis, and the pelt in the King's lap. He was beautiful, like any other mythical being Lewis had met, pouty lips and long lashes and brown hair that fell messily to his shoulders, but he mostly just looked tired.

"I deeply apologise for the torture you have been put through, but I vow that under my rule, you will never be hurt again." Lewis told the man. "We respect magic we welcome it, and if you wish to stay you would have a safe home with us, but if you wish to go, we will not stop you." Lewis added, getting up and heading over to where the shivering selkie stood. He knelt, offering the pelt up to him, and the selkie took it with shaky eyes, tears rolling down his cheeks as he pressed his cheek against the silver fur. His knees gave in and Lewis steadied him as he sank down to the floor too.

"Is this a cruel joke?" The selkie's voice was hoarse, a soft accent making Lewis shiver.

"It is not. Freedom is yours now." Lewis smiled kindly, helped the selkie back to his feet. The selkie regarded him.

"My name is Max." He said, before turning on his heels and walking to the doors, legs shaking and barely holding him. Names held power in magic, Lewis knew just so, and the selkie - Max - giving his name was special, grateful even when Lewis didn't deserve it for just being human and kind.

"Sir, he might be too weak." George said, the elf worriedly looking after the selkie, who had been walling slower and slower as he tried to make it to the gates. Just as Lewis was going to tell them to give Max more time, the selkie collapsed onto the ground with a pained wail.

Lewis had never ran faster in his life.

use this ask to talk about your random headcanons for any character you like :)

Whoa, boy! It's been a long time since I wrote random headcanons (like, a month ago? idk). A great reason to add another portion of my crappy headcanons about sdv and sve. I hope you like it!

Some random SDV and SVE headcanon:

Once at the Stardew Valley Fair, when many tourists with their children come to the festival, a couple of teenagers began to tease and offend Jas. Shane, of course, was not happy when he found out that some brats were teasing his dear niece. But instead of barking at those little assholes, Shane acted differently. He whistled with all his might, and all the chickens that were in the aviary at the festival came running to his call. Shane gave them the command to 'sic'em, girls', and all his feathered friends rushed at the offenders, clucking and pecking to drive them away. Jas is saved, Shane is laughing his stomach out, mayor Lewis is not too pleased that the chickens are terrorizing the tourists. How Shane managed to train chickens like that - no one knows, except maybe Marnie and Jas. Also, Jas gave her uncle the nickname "The Chicken Lord". Well deserved, some would say.

Every Sunday, when Andy goes to Pierre's shop to pray at the Yoba altar, he always stops for a couple of minutes near the fence at Marnie's ranch and pets the baby goats and lambs, which quickly rushed to the old farmer in search of affection. Only Marnie knows about this little "tradition" and Andy asks her not to spread it, because he doesn't want to be called a slobber. Marnie doesn't mind, especially since Andy almost always brings a couple of his crops to treat her favorite animals. She also sometimes gives him a gallon of milk or fresh goat cheese as a thank you. No, Andy is not shy, go away, shoo!

Sam, Sebastian and Abigail went out one autumn day at night into the woods to perform a 'summoning ritual' using crystals, bird feathers and other crap that they found on the Internet and thought it would be scary and fun. None of them knew that the ritual had actually worked, how the fuck- A portal opened in front of them, from which the head of an ugly horned monster crawled out, ready to destroy everything around. Fortunately for them, Rasmodius felt a strange magical aura and arrived in time, drove the monster back from where the creature got out and closed the portal. Later, he severely scolded the terrified trio and promised to whoop their asses if anyone thought of doing the summoning ritual again. If you are doing magic and occult things, turn to Magnus for help, it's better to do it with a mentor than to do it anyhow.

Lance has repeatedly expressed his desire to explore the deepest levels of the mines in order to study the growth of purple mushrooms, which are in abundance there. To his luck, Marlon just needs the help of a battle mage in clearing those very levels from monsters and finding rubies and diamonds for Magnus's experiments. The hunt went well and Lance was able to pick up a couple of great specimens to study. They will serve as excellent material for the continuation of his book on magical plants and mushrooms, as well as for the brewing of important life elixirs. But the shroom stew turned out disgusting. Well, he still have to eat it, you can’t just throw out food, right?

Olivia was the one who instilled in Harvey his love for truffle oil. When Victor caught a terrible cold that was accompanied by a high fever, a frightened Olivia called Harvey for help. The doctor took care of Victor all week until he fully recovered. Relieved, Olivia already wanted to pay extra for Harvey's services, to which he categorically said no, explaining that this was his job and that he was doing it to save people, not for money. Olivia sincerely understands and respects his position. And yet, the next day, she sent a couple of bottles of expensive truffle oil by parcel to the clinic as a thank you, noting in a letter that she insisted. Harvey has to give credit, with oil the dishes really got a lot tastier and richer. It's better than the Joja ready meals anyway.

Requested by anon

Request; Hi love! Can you please make some angst with Lewis, like he’s super stressed and you got into a terrible fight during race weekend because he says he can defend himself, but he ending in a podium makes him realised he was wrong and apologise to you? 🙏🏼

Warnings; mention of stress and pressure, a bit of swearing, a fight but not terrible because I can’t see Lewis being mean 😭

✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩

This season was tougher than the preceding ones, not only your boyfriend had his eighth championship- and absolute record, stolen from him, but this season’s car was a struggle.

She wasn’t living up to the expectations to say the least, and Lewis being himself, had suggested to the team to use his cars for the experiments instead of George’s.

It made the races even tougher as your boyfriend didn’t get a single win yet, of course, it would come at some point, after all, Lewis wasn’t the best for nothing.

But as if having a bad car wasn’t enough, added to the ending of the last season, Lewis was still receiving hate from rival team’s supporters claiming that he had never been that good, that he had only been lucky to have a fast car, or sometimes they would say that his career was over.

It disgusted you to see how even after everything he had done for this sport, every records he had broken and how many titles he had won over the years- he still wasn’t respected by a lot of people.

You knew the hate was just adding on the already present pressure, that it hurt him even if he wouldn’t speak about it too much. Ever since you started dating, Lewis had tried his best to shield you from the negativity towards you or him- and while he was doing a great job at that, you weren’t blind.

Usually, you wouldn’t intervene as you tried to avoid doing interviews and all that jazz, it felt more important to be by Lewis’ sides and tell him how he didn’t deserve any of the hate he was getting and how proud you were of him aswell as how much you loved him.

That being said, you had always felt like it wasn’t enough, even if he told you he didn’t need you to do more, that you being by his sides was all he needed- it wasn’t helping you feeling any better about the situation.

Lewis couldn’t always be the one to protect you, you wanted to do the same for him. Even if it meant that you’d be more exposed to the famous side of his life. You weren’t a celebrity, you’d never consider yourself as one- you were a random person who happened to date the best Formula One driver in the history.

———

It was only friday and it had been quite a rough week for Lewis, a new wave of hate had happened earlier this week and you had seen how down he had been feeling ever since- even if he had tried to hide it.

For the past two weeks, Mercedes had brought new upgrades to the cars and it was starting to improve the results- it had been enough for some idiots to start posting hate against Lewis on social medias.

Of course, you were here to try to cheer him up like you always would but this time, it didn’t seem to work out very well- you couldn’t blame him for that, it wasn’t an easy task to ignore hateful comments.

So, when you were heading to the Mercedes’ garage after you went to say hi to some of the drivers’ girlfriend who became your friends, you were stopped by a journalist, “ hello y/n, we know that you don’t like interviews but we still wanted to give it a shot- what do you have to say about the recent comments Lewis received?”

Usually, you would excuse yourself and say you had nothing to tell them, that you didn’t want your face to be shown on tv but it was also your chance to say what you had on your heart, “ we all know why it happened again- they’re scared that Mercedes is improving on their cars, they’re scared that they’ll soon have to watch their teams compete for the podiums against Mercedes.”

As soon as your little monologue was over, you excused yourself with a polite smile and left right away. Heading straight to the Mercedes’ garage, you met right away with your boyfriend who definitely looked upset.

Frowning, you wondered what was going on, maybe something was wrong with his car you thought, that’s why you questioned him, “ what’s wrong?”

“ I heard what you said to that journalist.”

“ Already? It was live?”

By now, you had followed your boyfriend to a calmer side of the garage to have some kind of privacy, “ it was- why did you say that?”

“ I just wanted to defend you?”

“ I can defend myself, I don’t need you to do it for me.”

“ I know you can defend yourself babe, I’m not saying otherwise. You’re always trying to protect me from the hate and all that, I don’t see why I can’t do the same for you?”

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Lewis sighed loudly- a clear sign that he was more than annoyed with the situation and conversation, “ this season has been so bad, I don’t need people to think that I need my girlfriend to talk for me.”

“ What does that even mean?”

“ Just don’t do it again, okay? I don’t want you to defend me, I can have my own back.”

It was your turn to become annoyed at the conversation- you had done nothing wrong, you didn’t even understand why he was upset with you to begin with, “ don’t worry about that, I’ll never defend you again- oh and honestly? Fuck you.”

And with that, you left him there, you were fuming and in no way you would stay in the garage to watch the practices, instead you headed directly to the paddock where you’d be watching the two practices from.

———

As the weekend went by, you stayed upset at your boyfriend, avoid any form of contact or interaction with him- it was petty but you didn’t care, and it wasn’t like he was trying to make it better in any way, he was ignoring you half of the time.

You had no idea for how long this situation would keep going, you could understand he needed to cool down and during a race weekend it wasn’t exactly the easiest thing to do.

Even mad at him, you still understood that he needed time and were willing to give it to him- and you weren’t the one in the wrong here. The pressure and stress were hard to handle and maybe he needed to let everything out for once.

That’s what you were telling yourself at least. No matter what was going on, as it was now sunday, you were supporting your boyfriend at a hundred percent. You believed in him and knew he could get back at the top, where he belonged.

By the end of the Grand Prix, Lewis had done it- he was back on the podium after a couple of races without being on it. Today wasn’t a win, only a third place, but in that car, it was an achievement. It was only a matter of weeks until Lewis would win again.

Throughout the whole weekend, you kept watching the practices and races in the paddock, thinking it was for the best after the fight Lewis and you had on friday. But still, you couldn’t not attend the podium.

Usually, you would be in the front line, proudly cheering for the love of your life, but this time, you would blend in the group, hoping that Lewis wasn’t going to see you- you didn’t want to ruin his podium if he didn’t want you around for now.

You couldn’t help but smile during the whole podium celebration- you knew how much Lewis and Mercedes needed this podium after those hard weeks, how hard they had worked on the cars to be able to compete with the top two teams again.

Once the celebration was over, each driver went back to their team to enjoy the moment a little longer. You tried to make yourself as small as possible, but it seemed like Lewis had spotted you from the podium as he directly made his way to you, “ I wasn’t sure you’d come to the podium.”

You shrugged at his comment, unsure of how to react, “ I didn’t know if you wanted me to or not.”

“ Of course, I wanted you there with the team, that’ll never change.”

“ Are you sure? I was afraid that it was going to ruin your podium.”

Lewis’ face dropped at your words, becoming way more serious all of a sudden, he took a step closer as he apologized, “ when I was on the podium and saw you there, I realized how much I fucked up. It’s not an excuse, but all the pressure of not being in the title fight, to not live up to the expectations this season- it was unfair to get angry at you when all you did was trying to protect me.”

“ It hurt me to hear you didn’t want me to defend you, you know? I’m your girlfriend, it’s literally part of my job to have your back, and even if you don’t like it- I won’t stop.”

Your boyfriend cracked a smile at your answer, relieved to learn that you weren’t too mad at him anymore, “ I’m so sorry, I didn’t want to hurt you. I really didn’t want that.”

“ Just talk to me next time instead of being an ass, yeah?”

“ I will, I promise. Can I get my podium kiss and hug now?”

You laughed at his demand, he almost sounded like a child, making you his puppy eyes so you wouldn’t say no- how could you even think of say no to this face anyways.

Usually, Lewis would have gotten his hug and kiss for making it to the podium already, but due to the situation, it was way later this time- but still, it felt just as enjoyable, maybe even more now that everything had been sorted out.

Are you thinking about how during the Abu Dhabi 2016 press conference Seb defended Nico twice, saying that you don’t win the Championship by luck and that Nico won the Championship that day? He said Nico is a deserved champion and sometimes you have better years in this regard, sometimes worse years but he thinks today is Nico’s day and it’s a sign of respect and greatness to give him that. He thinks they owe it to him, he’s a deserved champion. And before that, he said that he tried to be respectful of Nico and Lewis' battle even with Lewis pushing Nico into the pack, and in response to Lewis saying: "Just trying to help you out buddy", he said, I quote: "Yeah, I’m sure you would have waved me past as well."

...or are you normal?

Time to start unpacking my thoughts following Brazil. Let’s start with Charles.

Seeing Red 🏎

Let me start this by saying since 2020/2021 I have been a firm believer there were 4 World Champions on the grid, Lewis, Seb, Fernando and Kimi and 4 future World Champions in Max, Charles, George and Lando.

I can vividly remember watching Max in those first couple of seasons. Impulsive, reckless, but quick and flashes of the amazing talent that was to come. I can remember telling people Max was a future World Champion in the making and getting laughed at.

Similarly with Charles. That first half of his season was standard rookie fare, accidents, mistakes and almosts. The second half, oh wow! The talent was clear for everyone to see. By summer we were debating which former World Champion was being ousted from Ferrari as there was no way he wasn’t driving for them next season.

As all this was going down George and Lando were around the paddock. Already familiar faces at Mercedes and McLaren. They burst into F1 in 2019 and I still remember the first time Lando caught my attention. Qualifying 8th in his first race in a car I had been likening to a milk float for the last 4 seasons.

All 4 had arrived to their F1 seat with a tide behind them. The whisperings from a young age “this one is special”. They arrived with 4 of the biggest teams in the paddock backing them. This was the future of F1. Bring it on!!

Fast forward to 2023. Max is a three time World Champion. The man looks the finished article.

Lando has slowly but steadily embedding himself into the top 5 drivers of the season year in year out, his faith in McLaren is coming good and he is one of the most exciting drivers to watch of a weekend.

George learnt his trade at Williams, gained the respect of the grid so much they made him GPDA rep and got his much deserved move to Mercedes. It’s not been the easiest time and he has annoyed a lot of fans along the way but he still finds himself towards the front of the grid most weekends in a team of champions. Maybe he overthinks his races, but he never stops trying.

Then there is Charles. I think Charles is the most natural god given talent of the 4. Where the others have had to learn, it seems as natural as breathing to him. In equal machinery, he is the fastest, there is no doubt in my mind. 21 poles say it all. Over one lap, he is a demon.

Yes Charles is all emotion and sometimes his desire to succeed hinders him, sometimes it gives him the edge. He is the driver that I have been least shocked to see him bin it and the one who has gobsmacked me most often with his talent.

That aside, realistically Charles should be knocking on the door of that World Championship by now. As much as I’m loving seeing Lando be Max’s shadow, I can’t be alone in my shock it’s not Charles?

For all his faults, how many points have Ferrari and their incompetence taken from him? I’ve lost track of the awful strategy calls, the bad pit stops, the car taking itself to the shadow realm when we least expect it.

I’m a McLaren girly but I know I’m not alone in the heartbreak of watching Charles hit the barrier on the formation lap. He doesn’t deserve this!

Charles has the talent no question. It’s being wasted at Ferrari, by Ferrari themselves. It’s maddening because I want what’s best for this sport and Charles able to drive to his natural talent and ability is what is best for the sport. This is the first season I’ve questioned is he one of the best 5 drivers on the grid.

The troubling thing for Charles now is the numbers are 3 World Champions on the grid Lewis, Fernando and Max and still 4 World Champions in the making, as hello Oscar 👋. Oscar is showing that same natural talent Charles did in his rookie season. Even more troubling, Lando looks to be the one banging on the door of a Championship. The last 6 races have shown he’s ready but more importantly, so are McLaren.

I’m not sure what will happen if Lando, George or god forbid Oscar get there first. The pain for Charles will be unbearable and too cruel.

It’s that bad already a McLaren fan is writing essays about Charles.

i was tagged by lovely @loveyougoodbi to do an F1 wrapped. so, here are my results!

i want to elaborate a bit. it was damn hard to do these tops, especially the drivers one. i literally battled with myself for every position ._.

DRIVERS:

1. Charles Leclerc

i adore him as a pilot and as a person. his driving style is exciting and desperate, always on the limit. his fearlessness, his passion for the sport, his loyalty. on the track Charles Leclerc is literally the embodiment of fire and red. i dream of seeing him in a decent car and in my opinion Charles' WDC is only a matter of time.

2. Max Verstappen

Max is perfect on the track. his mistakes are minimal, his calculation and calmness are amazing. i admire his eternal straightforwardness and honest expression of his opinions. i love his dry and sarcastic humour. he is a very strong man who in no way deserves to be booed for his victories.

3. Lando Norris

this boy is a ray of sunshine. protect him and take care of him. and please, for fuck's sake, let 2024 bring him his first victory... as soon as mclaren picked up the pace in the second part of the season, it became immediately apparent what a serious opponent Lando could be on the track. one of the reasons why i have Mexico in my top races is because of his magnificent breakthrough from P19 to P5.

4. Fernando Alonso

is it even necessary to write anything here? how can you not like Alonso? he's even got the best fucking tiktok acc i've ever seen!!!

5. Alex Albon

this man is too fast for Williams. i'm sorry he's spending these years not in a top team, i hope to see him in positions higher up. Alex always makes the most of the car, pulls it in the points and continues to stay positive. he gives off so much warmth that it can't help but make me happy c:

RACES:

1. Las Vegas

everything about it was ✨beautiful✨. from the absolutely awful beginning to the fabulous end. last lap overtake from Charles made me scream. the chaotic start and the amount of overtaking and fighting – oh fuck yes, i honestly didn't expect that. (and sphere was a big plus lmao)

2. Singapore

the only race where RBR had problems led to the fact that we saw a battle for first place from four (4!) cars at once. Carlos took over as Ferrari's strategist and i was honestly very happy to see Carlando on the podium and their genuine embrace c:

3. Zandvoort

chaos? chaos. 186 overtakes. every fucking weather condition. cheering fans. positions changing at the speed of light. liam lawson – what? fernando alonso – WHAT?! and yeah, Max Verstappen still wins the gran prix.

4. Mexico

red bull gives wings right at the first corner. it was great to see both Charles and Lewis on the podium after being disqualified at the previous race. i already mentioned Lando's breakthrough but DAN RICCARDO. he tore everyone and everything. dramatic race i'd say.

5. Monza

it was nice to see ferrari leading the race in Monza. even if only for 15 laps. in 2023, that's a lot for someone who isn't Max. but of course the main highlight is how i almost ended up with heart attack because of the fight between Carlos and Charles in the last laps. but that's what formula 1 should look like. and it was great.

TEAM:

i wrote that it's Red Bull, but i feel a need to mention that because my favourite drivers are all from different teams, it's hard for me to pick just one. when i first started watching formula 1, i would claim to be a Ferrari fan (well i still am...), but the further i got, the more pain and disappointment i got supporting this team and more and more of my respect red bull started to gain. they have a reliable car and strategies. quick pitstops, absolute precision and coordination. they are a team and they deserve every their win this season. now I truly admire RBR.

okay thank you for reading! tagging some people that came to my mind, i'm sorry if you've already done that and i just haven't seen it 😭

no pressure! ignore if you don't feel like it c:

So I've been wondering why ppl think fans should be okay with the sideways and unnecessary coments about Lewis "because he's a grown man" however when it's one of his yt colleagues that are being "maligned" it's okay to speak up and defend them.

I've come to the conclusion that most ppl assume they aren't racist and therefor once they don't see racism it's not what's happening abd we're overreacting.

I'd like your thoughts on this angle because after this weekend my brain cannot fathom how in 2023 ppl cannot identify blatan racism driven decisions.

you're spot on.

they think all that is okay because it's lewis. yes, there's racism but isn't he successful? what more do you want? and that's the long and short of it. still i've rambled on.

i mean some try, but they don't realize that spotting the most obvious racism is thee easiest part. it doesn't end there. they simply do not realize the amount of mind space the color of one's skin occupies. of the person as well as the society and this sport. in case of lewis, just because he's a success story in places nobody's walked before, doesn't mean they've accepted him, in fact it's the opposite and they've proved it.

and people forget that. they will acknowledge he doesn't trust people easily but ignore where that stems from. he's a rich man why do you have to defend him? well because he's thee most successful in his sport and still not safe from bias and covert racism within his own environment? they keep missing that it's the undertones and assumptions. how they perceive him and his emotions & actions vs a yt man's. how they psychoanalyze him and stop at nothing but always end up giving benefit of the doubt to his counterparts.

i blame f1 pundits and ex drivers just as much though because they clearly set the tone with their borderline and sometimes overt racist comments, stereotypes and misgivings. the whole natural talent vs technically strong debate, the whole it's the car debate, the whole he's insecure debate, the whole he's bad for his teammates' mental health debate. these narratives have sickening undertones if you think about it. and eventually the fans pick them up and write their own fiction around it, in a way, weaponizing it.

theres this edit by his own fan/s that i keep seeing, with a caption like 'the day lewis hamilton finally earned everyone's respect' and it's just that video of him sitting in disbelief in his car after the ad21 robbery. i know the intention isn't that but the ignorance from his own fans? so the most successful f1 driver, a black man, couldn't express what he felt after getting robbed and humiliated in front of the whole entire world and that's how he finally 'earned' respect? really?

and i mean, of course, he is a grown successful rich man. it's made his life easier and he does not have the same basic struggles as the rest of us anymore but that doesn't mean he needs to pay a price for it. doesn't mean he deserves excessive scrutiny, weird as fuck narratives, harsher punishments and superhuman status in exchange. and it's always in extremes too, he'll either be held at the highest standard or just straight up insulted for being in places he shouldn't have dared to be.

tl;dr: they're mostly ignorant

“I think I’ve only just recovered. Last thing took every ounce of energy and commitment that this team had. We just did a better job as team during that period (covid) and to give Max a car for the first time to challenge consistently, some of the races he drove last year were phenomenal.

“He had some bad luck, he had the puncture in Azerbaijan we had the incidents as well that cost a whole lot of points, weather it was at Silverstone or Hungary or even Monza, they were very expensive championship wise but when you think back to races, how he delivered in Austin, the phenomenal victory in Monaco etc etc Imola…It was a phenomenal season he put together and one of total drama.”

“When you look at the season he was the deserving champion, when you take into account the points that had been taken away from him.”

“Just a sense of pride and joy and seeing that number now applied to the car for the first time.. It was a very emotional moment to see what we managed to do and what we managed to achieve and bring it home to milton keynes ”

“Yes on a couple of occasions, I felt that it wasn’t fair the way he had been treated. I think he had done the best that he could following the principles he had been told. The only thing he did screw up on was no allowing the final two cars to unlap themselves but everything that he had done you know was absolutely by the book and followed the principle of getting them to finish the racing on track and we saw recently in Monza, nobody wants to see a race finished under a safety car.”

“Then I think the reaction after the race, the amount of abuse sent at him, death threats to his family no individual deserved to go through what he did”

“There were things we felt very aggrieved about during the season or even that race the Max passed lewis on the first lap, Lewis wasn’t told to give the place back we felt that you know it was a very harsh decision that had gone against us, we felt there were harsh decisions in Qatar and in Saudi Arabi and leniency shown at different times but that is subjected to each individual”

“That was a precedent that was started, it started with Toto for the first time because the messages started to get broadcasted which I was probably guilty of because I was pushing for that within the F1 meeting. It was in Barcelona that I heard them broadcast the radio with Micky which was strange cause I have never had a one to one on channel.”

“Then it really permeated at Silverstone where suddenly there was an awful load of dialogue from Toto to Michael then he is sending him a email, then he is suddenly coming up and I thought ‘right okay I’m not having that, Im going up because I felt it was incredibly one sided that a team principle should not be able to lobby an influence like the race director and in hindsight. Toto and I had a fairly headed exchange in race control at that event the Toto was arguing the he driver shouldn’t be penalised and Ive got a driver in hospital and a car taken out of the race so really after that race we should have said that there should only be one channel of communication.”

“Toto at several points during the race was trying not to get a safety car, he was trying to steer the race, my immediate reaction was defence.”

“There was a narrative credited against Red bull that I certainly felt was a bit unfair and certainly against Max which was very unfair”

“It was that inner belief and self confidence that on so many occasions you saw come through. He’s the type of driver that gives absolutey everything”

“Max had a respect for lewis but he was never afraid of him”

“The DNA of this team is you have to go for it, we are an attacking team.”- Christian on F1: Beyond the grid.

#another v good podcast #I swear Tom will get a smack #but shit Christian and most of the bulls had Covid #and we’re only out of isolation on Christmas Day Jesus #the way he talked about Toto #I love it #f1 #max verstappen #rambles #formula 1 #red bull racing #🦁🧡#christian horner #we stan christian on this blog
