LOGAN FIC REQ!! (i love your messages au smmm btw THEYRE SO GOOD AHH) ok anywayssss
can you pls do logan x super super famous!reader.(preferably an actress but i don't mind any) so both of them are dating but are trying to keep it a secret since they've only been dating for a short amount of time. one night they decide to go on a date but paparazzi was there and it was going VIRAL. reader regrets not double checking if there would be any paps. sooo then everyone starts investigating on logan as the internet does and since everyone doesn't watch f1, they only see logan crashing and blah blah blah so they see him as a "bad driver" and he starts getting A LOT of hate because people think reader deserves better. they also start comparing him to reader's "more better and famous ex". reader and logan take time off social media and people think they broke up until reader releases an instagram post defending him and yeah a lot of fluff and hurt/comfort.
idk if this made sense but pls feel free to change anything!! again i love your work sm 💕‼️
Hiiii, omg thank you so much! Love love LOVE the fic idea and without any further ado- here's the fic, it isn't exactly as the prompt but I hope you love it-
Keep my wife's name OUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH ୨୧ Logan Sargeant x famous! reader
As a celebrity, you don’t often have the privilege of privacy. The cameras seemed to follow you everywhere, from outside your house to the restaurants you ate at and even to private celebrations with your friends and family.
Your last relationship had gone south exactly because of the paparazzi, making assumptions about the seriousness of your relationship and even spreading pregnancy and marriage rumours, scaring the man away.
You had wanted to take it slow, heart broken from your previous relationship but then you met Logan and for the first time in a long time you felt like you could breath, like you could do what you wanted without being judged.
You knew who he was and he knew who you were and that was perfect.
The both of you had spent a perfect week in your villa in Bali, it had been risky but no one caught on, surprisingly.
You thought your luck would continue and you threw causation to the wind, not asking your assistant to check for paparazzi at the sushi restaurant you were going to in Shanghai.
Unfortunately, you were caught just as you were leaving the restaurants waking up to a host of notifications, some good and some gut-wrenching.
Logan on the other hand tried not to throw up, his eyes wide, you could tell he was scared. Would his team drop him? No, no. Why would they? Right? Oh God.
"Logan, Logs, baby are you okay?" You called out, dropping to your knees and cradling his face in your palms.
f1waglife
f1waglife Y/n nation how are we feeling tonight? Logang? How are we? This was definitely not the couple we expected but is this the couple we deserve?
Username OH HELL NAW- WHY IS THIS FLORIDA MAN DATING QUEEN Y/N?????
Username Y/n come home the kids miss you
Username Omg mans is in love
Username Get someone to look at you the way Logan looks at Y/n
You saw some of the comments and while some made you smile, some made you want to slap a bitch, unfortunately, a scandal would not help, so you called up your PR manager, and the post was gone within a minute.
Logan's race had gone sour, with him getting an unfair penalty and points on his licence. The already poor start to your day had turned even worse when you saw Logan tiredly storm into the room collapsing on the bed, burying his face in his pillow.
"What... the..... fuck?" He screamed into the pillow making you smile a little. The small habit he'd picked up from you, screaming into the pillows as a way to think, one that you had picked up from one of the characters you played a long time ago.
"Why do people even care about who's dating who? That's so stupid." He rolled his eyes.
"Don't we binge Keeping Up with the Kardashians every Monday?" You asked.
"That's not the same though-" He paused and switched his phone off, he already didn't have access to his own Instagram, having given access to his manager a long time ago, he now didn't even want to talk to his friends or colleagues many of whom just wanted an autograph from you along with an explanation how he could be with you.
He turned around, pulling the blanket on him, tired from the day.
You pulled up Twitter as a habit but were greeted with a terrible chain of tweets judging every aspect of your relationship and even worse criticizing Logan without even knowing anything about the sport.
"What the fuck-" You cursed out loud, you knew your fanbase was slightly (an underestimation) larger than your boyfriends but how could they call themselves your fans, when you have been a fan of Logan's since his first season in f1? All your co-stars American or not knew your borderline obsession for the man, every race week you'd be posting Williams on your story, how could they still hate on him?
You looked next to you, where your boyfriend was sleeping a small scowl on his pretty face.
PR be damned, he didn't deserve this.
y/nl/nofficial
y/nl/nofficial To anyone who calls themselves my fans and talks shit about my lovely boyfriend, UNFOLLOW ME ASAP. Logan is the kindest, sweetest, most talented man I've had the pleasure to know and he deserves better than the bullshit he gets from some assholes who don't know anything about him.

Esteban on what it means on being a teammate.
#Esteban does the type of driving/racing people say they want but from a driver they don't want it from#I remember seeing this comment in reddit before and it actually makes a lot of sense#this speaks volumes on how hypocritical the f1 fanbase is in their treatment and opinions on Esteban#He races hard but clean and precise but people are so wrapped up in their bias and made up narratives that they are no longer objective#when they watch him race. It doesn't help also that the f1 media just loves repeating his clashes with his teammates#but without giving proper context on who was actually at fault.#as for the “bad teammate” nonsense...my pinned post says it all#Esteban ain't no pushover and definitely isn't anyones doormat#Esteban essentially debunked the narrative that he doesn't get along with his teammates.#But now watch people spin what he said to fit their narrative.#esteban ocon#eo31

Ghost - Oscar Piastri x UnknownDriver! Reader Part 3
Plot: Reader is the first female F1 driver of the century, however no-one knows that as you are a ghost on the grid. You started in 2022, coming in P12 in the championship. You get moved to Red Bull Racing in 2023 with the off year for Sergio Perez.
Credit to yrsonpurpose for the GIF
Standing up on the podium, not being able to do anything as you watched Oscar run off was torture. You had to stay there while your national anthem played that should have been amazing considering it was you, Lewis and Lando all up there together.
And of course, there were no breaks for you afterwards. Everyone wanted you, from SkySports, to F1, to Netflix. Everyone was throwing questions at you and asking how different your achievements feel now knowing that your the first woman to have completed many of them.
You were fine answering them, because like they said. All of your previous achievements were now bigger than they were as Ghost. People could tell that you weren't fully with them, you were a little spacey and sometimes struggled with hearing and answering the questions.
Most of them put it down to the post race fuzz of the win and revealing who you were, but upon getting to the Sky Sports Team who consisted of Jenson Button, Nico Rosberg, Natalie Pinkham and Danica Patrick questions turned sour.
"So Y/N aside from racing we caught light of Oscar Piastri's quick depart after the reveal, any insight on this?" Danica asks, making you look down.
"I don't think these questions are necessary" Jenson says just as the Red Bull PR manager was about to ask for racing related questions only.
"Yes please stick to racing questions only" the Red Bull PR backs up, nodding before taking a step back. You look back up, straight to Nico who had a soft look on his face.
"I'm just interested, you raced for Alpine last year when he was a reserve driver... for Alpine and you've been promoted to Red Bull this year while Piastri's made the move to Mclaren. Can't help but wonder if its underlying sexism that's made him this mad, you all cant deny he was blunt and rude in his interview with us earlier" Danica pushes and you head snaps up. You feel a hand on your shoulder as if to stop you from what your about to say but you go ahead anyway.
"I've hurt a dear friend. So how dare you stand there and try to victimize me, when he is the one that I've hurt. He knew me as Ghost's assistant and media manager... we were close and I've not been truthful to him for obvious reasons. So don't stand there and try to make him out to be a misogynistic twat when he isn't. I don't know what you experienced in NASCAR Danica but in F1 all I've experienced today is love and support. Just because your sport sucks doesn't mean mine does" you snap, and recoil shocked that you'd just said all of that. She looks at you also in shock, Jenson and Nico were trying to stop their laughter.
"Well, some strong opinions there from Y/N Y/L/N" Jenson says as he watches you turn away and walk off. You were done with interviews for the day. You just wanted to find Oscar and talk to him now.
"Lando! Lando" you shout as you see the curly haired boy ahead of you walking into the Mclaren motorhome.
"Hey, Y/N or should i say Ghost" he smiles before pulling you into a hug.
"I was not expecting that bombshell today, and I will admit I'm sorry for assuming you were some ugly guy... your very obviously not" he laughs.
"Where's Oscar" you ask, you didn't want to seem rude but of course he was your priority right now.
"Y/N, I don't think its a good idea to see him right now. I think maybe just wait for him to come to you. He's upset and" he starts but you look him dead in the eye.
"He upset me too, he just ran off... at my first race win" you say as selfish as it was... but he also ruined that experience for you.
"I know, but you did like lie to him for just under 2 years" Lando says softly not wanting to rattle your already unstable cage of self hatred.
"And what was i supposed to do Lando, tell him a secret that Red Bull had me sign an NDA over and break my contract and risk loosing my seat?" you ask, hoping he would start to understand.
"Look Y/N you really should go..." Lando pushes looking around the area you were currently in. He put a hand on your lower back as to guide you back out, but you planted yourself still.
"No, I'm not leaving till i talk to him" you grunt.
"Y/N I'm telling you this as your friend and your co-worker. You need to go" he says, you'd actually never seen his eyes this serious before and it had your head cocking to the side in confusion.
As your about to ask him why the hell he's being so twitchy, two people stumble out of the next room a little disheveled and both laughing. You eyes lock on them.
"O-Oscar?" you ask in shock, the girl looks up at him confused and his face turns red but also a sour expression comes onto his face.
Before any of them can say anything your turning away from them, everything feels slow motion, all the voices around you blur and your heartbeat comes erratic.
You couldn't understand why it hurt so much, the thought of him not even for a moment being happy for you up on a podium that he come here to be with some other girl ... or was it because in the time you'd spent with him you'd fallen for the racer.
You round the corner, stumbling behind the Mclaren motorhome so that you could just breath. You crouch down, your head leaning back against the side.
"Fucks sake" you say to yourself, once you'd calmed yourself from the initial shock you fully sat down on the metal edging outside the Mclaren motorhome.
"Y/N?" you hear a voice ask, your head peaks up and you spot Alex and Logan.
"Oh, hey guys. Great Race today!" you smile.
"Why are you just sat outside the Mclaren motorhome?" Logan asks raising an eyebrow at you.
"Oh, erm no reason. I just got lost on my way back to Red Bull" you smile standing up and walking to the long strip and turning left.
"Your still clearly lost, Red Bull's that way" Alex says pointing to the right hand side, that you weren't facing.
"Right, yeah i knew that" you smile, turning round and scuttering off the other way.
To say that the UK was the start of something spectacular was an understatement. You didn't go out and celebrate that night, you stayed in with your family.
The next race was Hungary where you proceeded to take the win away from Max in the last 3 laps, being on the fresher tires. They asked you to let Max take the win but you begged for them to let you fight it out. You shared the podium with Max and Lando, in Spa you came second, sharing the podium with Max and Charles and in The Netherlands you came 4th.
Throughout all of this Oscar hadn't reached out to you. You'd kept in contact with Lando, asking how he was and what had been going on. However Monza changed things.
An article came out about an interview Oscar had done about you and how you hadn't spoken to him since. He hadn't spoken very nicely about you when all you'd done was stick up for him. You guys got into a massive argument outside the garages that of course people caught on camera.
You had a really bad qualifying, the car just didn't have pace and your mind wasn't in the right place. So you were starting P14 on the grid, after a cry to Christian that you were so overwhelmed and him assuring you that it was today that really mattered.
You had turned off everything when you got in the car on the Sunday. No thoughts in your head just the racing. On the start you managed to get yourself to P12 overtaking Liam and Nico right of the bat.
"Excellent start Y/N lets keep pushing"
Martin Bundle - I have to say that Y/N is incredible with these races where she starts down in the back of the grid, and she gets those amazing starts where she slips in the middle of the two drivers ahead and is able to confidently get herself up too places
"Okay, and Alonso are ahead, you have DRS" your engineer tells you, and you are able to overtake Yuki who doesn't go as aggressively into the chicane as you do. You have a little spin but recover enough to pull up aside Alonso on the straight, going for the overtake.
"Amazing Y/N, that's P10 right now. Keep pushing"
Eventually you were left fighting Carlos, Max clipped a tire and was now down in 4th fighting with Charles.
"Y/N this has been a fantastic race, from P14 up to P2, Carlos is 1.8 second ahead. Lets get him and bring home a double podium. Max is fighting for P3 right now. 5 laps to go" he advises.
"Tell him to speed up, I'll give him DRS we can overtake Sainz together so its a 1.2" you advise looking seeing the Ferrari behind you. You slow down on the hairpin, breaking early, which Charles didn't expect where he was concentrating on defending from Max. You speed up, watching as he spins out a little leaving room for Max on the inside.
"Okay, Sainz has sped up there's now a 2.6 second gap"
"Copy that" you say, Max was using your slip stream, but didn't go for the overtake, you easily defended from Charles together while gaining on the other Ferrari.
"Okay last two laps, Sainz, 0.3 second gap"
"Yeah i can fucking tell I'm riding his rear end" you say, the minute you get onto the straight you and Max both go either side of Sainz, sandwiching him in as your about to go into turn 11. He breaks early falling back leaving you to take the optimal racing line and get ahead of Max.
"Is Max fighting this last lap?" you ask.
"He's been told is free to fight. Mode push and bring us another win" your race engineer advises, you breeze through the final lap, it was a close call but you came first.
"Y/N Y/L/N winner of the 2023 Italian Grand Prix" your race engineer says a big grin coming onto your face as you flip up the visor holding your fist up as you see all the Red Bull crew cheering for you on the fencing.
"Where did Oscar place?" you ask, you hadnt thought about him up until now. Even as you passed the orange 81 car, it was just another car then.
"Not a good race for Piastri, P12 behind Lawson"
"Okay. Thank you for the great drive today. Thank you Christian" you say before preparing yourself for the podium.
Would Oscar be there?

I'm starting to believe in the power of your essays because in a strange way they reflect reality :)
landosparadise twitter
oh babe listen, the fact that I cannot contain myself is not that I'm trying to infect others I promise <3 what anyone can take from quotes like these is that it isn't wrong to take all of the concrete things we've seen and read about Lando and Oscar's partnership and decide that a whole lot of mutual respect and even fondness is clearly there. and that they communicate pretty damn well and that's helped not a little by being basically the same age and sharing a lot of similarities as people. and by not leaping to the whole bromance thing and having to maintain that image, and neither of them being typical "alpha" types, there's a solid hope for their partnership not turning sour. those are very sweet conclusions that can be drawn without me writing any kind of parasocial essays! that's the best part for me, that I can have my fun and everything but truly at it's core there's a reason why the Lando and Oscar partnership is so exciting to every kind of McLaren fan.
.
.
BUT SINCE YOU SEEMED TO BE EVEN REMOTELY ASKING… (comedic trombone sound)
this part especially drives me insane.
when asked whether he was able to learn anything from his rookie teammate. "Keeping calm and being yourself, it's good to be reminded of that."
bc Lando loves and respects specific things about all of his F1 buddies. and it was a no-brainer that he learned a lot from his older, more established teammates (esp Carlos who basically found Lando in a basket outside his driver's room door). but all of those guys have either been his friends for years or he's known of them/interacted with them for years. but then Oscar arrives as this unknown and he's so mature for his age and doesn't seem easily fazed. and not only does he not demand that Lando help him out he also doesn't try to ingratiate himself with Lando to help out his own image (and remember, Oscar was enemy number one with McLaren, Alpine and Daniel Ricciardo fans - and still is for some of them). didn't try to launch a bromance the way most of these partnerships do (with varying success).
he did the most jarring, unlikely thing ever: he stepped back, fully embraced his role as the number 2 driver, accepted whoever Lando decided to be, and let Lando determine the relationship. he showed up and celebrated every high Lando had without fail. Lando was handed unconditional respect and he got it from a teammate who himself has refused to pander or be insincere. Oscar risks looking boring or withdrawn rather than dance. and he's shown nothing but respect - and fondness! - for the kaleidoscope of personality that Lando is.
because!
Oscar was a Lando fanboy for 8 years! Oscar knew Lando before meeting Lando in a way no one else in racing has! Oscar is not Just a Guy he watches, he listens, he cares! Oscar doesn't seem to have a lick of toxic masculinity about him and all of the F1 elders who know him say what an old soul he is and how mature he is!
and we know already that Lando felt he learned things from Oscar in a racing sense. so for Lando to go so far as to say that his rookie teammate helped remind him how to stay true to himself is just !! especially considering that their personalities have equally been a source of being misunderstood in ways that are often extremely infuriating.
also, Oscar complements so much about Lando in terms of how they approach their careers and media duties and racing and I think in a lot of ways Lando doesn't fully know how to feel about that? bc Lando's someone who can blur the lines between a person being helpful to him and someone he needs in his life. each year we get that adorable dinner photo of all the people who've supported Lando's career for the past 10 years. so to find himself pinging back and forth so well with Oscar's approach to all those things, there's got to be a concern of "am I going to start needing this guy in my life too?" it's way too early for that to be a major concern of course but I feel like it could be there.
"better than I feel like I remember I was when I started"
"I think that is something that I've gotten a lot better with over the years - I know how to deal with all of these things much better myself now. I have a lot of respect for Oscar in how he was able to stay so calm in a new environment, in Formula 1, on the big stage."
okay this part !! bc I remember the anon I got who meticulously pointed out how Lando has been doing for Oscar what he remembers wishing he'd had for himself when he started out in F1. and that as Alex Albon said it's not really the natural M.O. of a more experienced driver to mentor a competitor or a teammate. it's not team sports - each driver is there to beat everyone else, esp their teammate as they're essentially driving the same car. but Lando's soft heart !! Lando's not like everyone else!
and that's the thing I always make sure to state is that while Carlos and Daniel were both definitely overwhelmed at times over how much Lando needs to have that tender connection with the men in his life - and have it above all else - they weren't doing him wrong at all by placing their own performance in F1 above him. they're what honestly every other guy in F1 is. and Alex is honestly probably one of the most empathetic, soft-hearted guys on the current grid so for him to say it's not in his responsibilities to nurture another driver is pretty definitive as a rule - especially bc he ended up doing that to some degree with Logan (the 'seeing myself in him' explains that a lot). but yeah, Lando's warm soft heart overruling his racing driver head is extremely unusual in F1. like basically unheard of.
and while it's so much healthier that Carlos and Daniel became the good friends that they did and specifically NOT Lando's teammates, I wrote this whole thing about how Lando went into the partnership with Oscar unusually guarded. not only was he clearly unsure about the idea of being the older and experienced teammate, he definitely wasn't interested in leaping into another bromance only to discover that the other guy has the exact same bromance with about five other dudes in his life.
Lando doesn't at all seem do that - at least from a fandom distance, he seems to form unique friendships with each person in his life. he may be a will-o-wisp person and be difficult to pin down and get hold of sometimes, but the people he decides to form a relationship with are locked into that for good (from what we can tell). he'll do the bromance bit with Carlos and Daniel that they want but he also demanded that he have some specific definition among all their other friends.
Lando is a ✧Me✧ and if you don't want to respect that then you don't get to have his time. I think it's even why he has a joking "rivalry" with some of his friends' girlfriends. bc - and I emphasize this is all humorous and not serious - there's a little bit of a rivalry for attention there! Lando seem to kinda end up making men in love with him in some way (paternal, brotherly, friendship, confused and horny, etc). he meets them and they're kinda fucked up about him forever in some way. dudes especially tend to clump their friends by category and hang out in groups apart from maybe one super close best friend. but it seems like Lando can't be lumped in with anybody else. he's almost like the unattainable hot girl who's a model and also independently wealthy and also a gamer and also F1 superstar that guys just desperately want to orbit as closely as they're allowed. if she says 'wanna hang out' they'd leave their grandma's funeral and rush over.
so like, all of Lando's complexities and the uniqueness of his career and his weird and usually frenetic personal journey considered - I'm just slightly insane over the fact that he said Oscar helped him remember to just be himself and to try to find calm out in the circus. what a wonderful thing to say about someone you've only known for a year and who hasn't in any way pushed for a relationship beyond what you want from them.

A and B are quite tall, while C is a lot smaller, which makes C feel very safe and protected most of the time, but also playfully annoyed when they get teased about not being able to reach the dishes
This with Sam Bird/Andre Lotterer and Jean Eric Vergne please? ♥️
Okay, so, I finally made an updated pinned post with the ships I write for, everyone who's interested in it can read it here. FE ships are not on it and I won't start writing for them yet because I still don't feel like I know their personalities well enough (I'm too lazy and unmotivated to actually watch FE movies/videos and social media doesn't really help with it as much as with F1).
I still wrote this little something because it's hard to say no when it's actually a cute prompt and it's just me who isn't really comfortable with writing about people I don't know as much as I want to. I'll try and write for the other one to but for some reason that's a bit more difficult for me, even though that's a good prompt too. 😃
Jev/André/Sam • 847 words • polyamory • comfort • teasing • love • hugs • Ao3 link
-
Being in a polyamorous relationship was still a bit new to Sam, even though Jev, André, and him have been together for a few weeks now.
For a long time, he could only dream about being in a relationship with them because he thought they were good together, they didn't need another person.
As it turned out he was wrong. Yes, Jev and André were good together but they knew they could love another person too. They had room in their hearts for another love, for a polycule, to make everything complete. And they wanted someone to make it possible, they've talked about it, about their feelings towards a certain man called Sam. But they didn't want to rush it or just drop it on Sam. They wanted to do it slowly and see if he wanted it too.
One day, after a shit race, Sam was in his hotel room, alone, when someone knocked on his door. It was Jev. André was there too. Sam didn't really know what they wanted, or why they were there, but in the next moment, it all became clear because Jev hugged him and André told them to go and sit down somewhere.
And in the next moment, Sam was curled up on Jev's lap, André stroking his back. They were there to comfort him. To hug him, to give him a bath, and then cuddle him to sleep. They were there to protect him, to make him feel better, and to love him. They knew what he needed without Sam having to say a word.
And they've been together from then on.
***
“Do you think what I think?” André asked Jev when he saw Sam standing next to the kitchen counter, making coffee.
“I want my coffee in the cup on the top shelf,” Jev whispered, which made André smile. They love teasing Sam about his height. He's their short king.
“Good idea,” André nodded, giving a quick kiss to Jev's lips.
“Babe, could you please please make my coffee in my favorite cup?” Jev asked a moment later.
“Yes, it's already here,” Sam showed him the cup Jev usually drinks his coffee from.
“No, not that. The other. On the shelf,” Jev said, quickly glancing at André, smiling because his boyfriend loved seeing Jev teasing their boyfriend, and then back to Sam.
“Okay,” Sam said, standing on his tippy toes to reach the bottom shelf to find Jev's cup. There were only plates there.
“It's... It's on the top shelf, babe.”
And that was when Sam put both of his hands back on the counter and took a deep breath, trying to hold himself back from telling Jev off for this move. It wasn't the first time.
“Aww, you can't reach it,” Jev said in a sweet tone, getting up from the couch and walking towards his boyfriend.
“Don't you dare to say I'm cute when I'm angry because you two can't stop doing this to me! I'm short. I can't do anything about it.”
Jev burst out laughing. He loved Sam so much. His angry little Englishman.
“Come here, babe,” Jev opened his arms for a hug to make Sam feel better. He loved when Jev (or André) hugged him because their height difference made it special.
“In your dreams, Jean-Éric,” Sam told Jev off, playfully boxing into his chest before turning back to make the coffee “You won't get your hug. You don't deserve it.”
“Now this hurts!” Jev's lips turned down, his hands falling back next to his body. “I wanted my hug...” he mumbled while reaching for the cup on the top shelf, placing it next to the others so Sam could make a coffee for him.
“He's sorry,” André walked closer to them. “I'm sorry too. We just like to tease you.”
“I know,” Sam said, putting Jev's cup under the coffee maker and then turning to his boyfriends, opening his hands for a group hug. “I was joking. You can always get a hug. Or more. You deserve it.”
“Sorry for making you feel bad about your height,” Jev mumbled into Sam's hair, “I know it's not funny but sometimes I think it's cute that you're small and—”
“It's okay,” Sam reassured, “You don't have to feel bad about it. I can take a joke.”
“You can cuddle us in exchange for this,” André offered, stroking Sam's back, “How's that sound?”
Sam looked at André with a look he only uses when he's around them. “Sounds like the perfect Sunday afternoon. And the coffees are ready too,” he announced when the machine filled Jev's cup too.
“Let's drink it and then we'll give you the king's treatment,” Jev winked at him while taking his cup away from the coffee machine. “I already have some plans. You'll love it.”
“You can always make fun of me if you give me the king's treatment after it.”
“Sounds like someone likes it…” André teased, grabbing Sam's butt, almost making him choke on his coffee.
“Now,” Sam demanded, putting his coffee down, “I want it now!”

So I'm a bit frustrated with people's drivers ratings right now. I know it's personal and people can have different opinions, but I honestly look at most of them and can't help but go "Kevin will never be good enough for you, will he?!" I mean, I can admit that he has made mistakes and he definitely haven't been perfect, but the way people talk about him is just making me frustrated and angry.
I don't understand, Kevin has basically beaten all of his teammates (except Jenson) but every time the season ends, the narrative is: "his teammate wasn't very good anyway". Or like this year, where people say he should have beaten Mick with more, because he is "basically a rookie", which I find to be completely nonsense, but anyway.
Now I dread Nico coming in and Kevin beating him, so people will just say that it's because Nico is too old and past it. It seems like he can never win. Maybe he should let Nico get a few wins against him to prove that he still got it 😭🤷♀️
Sorry for the rant, i love your blog. Have a nice evening ❤
welcome to the pain of being a k-mag stan ❤️
but no, i totally get your frustration. it's the same frustration that i've dealt with at the end of almost all formula 1 seasons since 2014. for example, watching tommos video on qualifiers and him rating zhou, albon and sainz as faster qualifiers than k-mag. like are you actually kidding me? the man just got a fucking pole in a haas, beating 8 out of the 10 drivers in q3, all in much faster cars and he beat his teammate like 4 to 1 in qualifying - and he is being put in the bottom lower half of the grid in terms of qualifying 🤡
unfortunately, this has kind of always been the case with kevin. when he does something extraordinary, people praise him that day and then they forget entirely. even when his stats show that he is beating his teammate in so many different ways, people completely disregard it, yes, and it's so annoying. for example, with jenson then they basically went 50/50 on qualifying, but kevin was on average 0.2 faster than jenson in qualifying for the whole season. and he was a 21-year-old rookie against a former world champion who had been in f1 for 14 years. kevin had not even driven a f2 car before being put into a f1 car. and he did that - and people still treat his 2014 season as some kind of huge disappointment. they also completely disregard that mclaren wanted to continue with kevin, but because of infighting then jenson was retained instead.
it is the same we see with mick now where people are like "oh, mick has been faster than him". like look at the graph below. when mick has beaten him, most of the time, they have not even been near top 10. and it doesn't even include sprints where kevin has scored points every single time, which means he has been in top 8 three times more from what you can see below.
it's the single stat where mick has done better than him (and yet some people only focus on this irrelevant fact), but it also completely disregards the races where kevin has been forced to take another pitstop, spending close to 40 seconds in pit to get his front wing fixed, or when he has had car issues or when haas has fucked up his strategy like putting the wrong tyres on his car (oh no, not even making the wrong call, but actually putting the wrong tyres on him). also by the way, no one is talking about how the fia has basically admitted to them being wrong about the use of the meatball flag and them having admitted that to haas. imagine if the fia had ruined charles' race three times in a season. it would be the greatest scandal of the season, but no motorsports media sites give a shit because it's just k-mag and haas🙄
people did not even care when he could keep up with, and even beat in some cases, a former world champion with 14 years of experience as very young rookie, so i suppose they will never care about who he beats. but of course, if nico beats him then i'm sure they will all care and make fun of him despite the fact that nico is a good and respected driver. but yeah, it's the curse of being a kevin fan. i think most people agree that he is deserving of a f1 seat, but they sort of just shrug their shoulders and then throw their love at the usual drivers.
i do not know what more kevin should do to be considered for teams higher up the grid. i know that ferrari had their eyes on him in 2018 when they had doubts about charles, and that red bull offered him a toro rosso seat, but i just wish people would respect him more. and he is still improving. whenever he has a season where he has a flaw, he usually corrects it by the next season. once, he was not considered a super good qualifier, then he fixed that. he was criticised for killing his tyres too quickly when at renault, he fixed that for next year in haas and became known for it. he was criticised for crashing too much and doing too much damage to the car, this season he is the third "cheapest" driver on the grid when it comes to the cost of car damage.
and i'm confident that if kevin had been french, alpine would have given him the seat instead of pierre 🤷🏻♀️ i think being danish is one of the things that kinda counts against him since we have no ties with motorsport and formula 1. and that shit matters as proven by the fact that everyone is already saying mick to audi just because he is german. but yeah, my best advice is just to roll your eyes at it and ignore the "experts" who spend 80% of the time only watching the top teams without doing proper research on everybody else.

Bahrain
Charles Leclerc x F1 Driver! reader
Synopsis - Charles goes crazy when his engineer tells him you're the one who crashed / Instead of Grosjean crashing in Bahrain, you're the one who's car blows up on fire
Author's note - So I requested this to someone a while ago, and I CANT FIND THIS ACCOUNT. IM SO SORRY. So I don't know if they've actually done it because I can't find it under the Charles x reader tag and this an idea that's been clouding my mind for so long I have to get It out of my system 😭😭 so sorry if you've done it, but hey, here's my take on it.
Also I might have made Vettle's Ferrari be a HAAS? bare with me it worked for the fic💀
Masterlist 🧚🏻♀️
Charles Leclerc Masterlist 🌻
Can be read alone or as a part 2 to my blurb from white to red
You were a great pilot. The bright, young new addition to Ferrari.
With you and Charles on the team, Ferrari had become so popular in the media that even your boss had thanked you for the fresh new amount of instagram followers and supporters they had gained. You were an iconic power couple, and no one could deny it.
Even Ferrari used it to their advantage. Pairing the two of you in YouTube videos, interviews, making posters where you'd be closer together than the usual partner pics. Instagram posts, sneaky videos of you and Charles supporting each other in the paddock before a race when you thought no one was watching - or at least thought no one filming.
It made the fans crazy, and you were enjoying every part of it.
"So how are you feeling today?"
"Good to be honest." You jumped on your heels as you smiled to the camera.
"No thoughts about starting last?"
"Honestly I think I'll be able to catch up quickly, I'm not afraid of that." You chuckled. "That's why I didn't mind when they asked me. They wouldn't have changed the engine if I didn't agree to it." You nodded, looking at the paddock to greet some staff that I had just arrived.
"How about your rivalry with Charles?" The interviewer sent a cheeky grin to which you smirked. "You think he could take your place in the standings, with the engine penalty and all."
"If I'm being honest, I think he might. But I mean he's only like 2 points behind me, if I manage to catch up with him I should be fine." you smirked. "Hopefully I get to catch up with Norris by the end of this season too."
"Right, I forgot you're aiming to up star him too. Hope he isn't too mad."
"All friendly rivalries." You nodded.
"I also heard your engineer complain because Charles and you were sending each other messages through him." A loud chuckle escaped your lips.
"Yeah-" You nodded, a light blush passing by your cheeks. "He's probably sick of us by now."
"This doesn't distract you during races?"
"We don't do it during races" You shook your head. "Only before a race, like during formation lap, or if there's a red flag or at the end" You bit your lip. "I think we would probably get penalties if we did that, plus it would too distracting, as you said."
~
"Ready?"
"As always." You smiled before giving Charles a quick kiss.
"Hey, love birds time to race."
"Sorry!" You grinned "Love you."
"Love you too." He squeezed your hand one last time before letting you leave.
You shot a glare to Charles before putting your helmet on. He mouthed a good luck before shooting you a funny look that warmed your heart.
Before you knew it you were both in the car, starting on your formation lap.
"Hey can you send a message to Charles?"
"No."
"C'mon!" You laughed.
"What is it?" you heard the engineer sigh as you focused on the track, setting your mind to the race.
"That I hope he does well, and you can add an I love you."
"I'll definitely not add the I love you."
"As you wish" You chuckled before focusing perfectly on your turn.
"He says he loves you too."
"HHAHHA I KNEW YOU WOULD DO THAT!" You couldn't help but smile, feeling more than ready for the race to come.
"Yeah, yeah. Focus on the race now." You hummed a yes as you parked your car at the far end of the lot. You'd have to work hard to finish with a good score, and you were more than ready for it.
"Lights out and away we go!"
What you didn't know was that, when Norris skipped ahead to the Alpha Tauri of Gasly and Ocon's Renault, he quickly got stuck because of Bottas loosing places.
Ocon and Gasly who came back up made him stuck between the two of them, causing his front wing to take damage from the Alpha Tauri and slow him down. As Vettle in the Haas who was behind Norris headed towards the three cars in front of him, he unfortunately had to slow down, causing Lance Stroll to go off track and back again in front of him after turn 2. Luckily Charles had a good start and was ahead, you could barely see his Ferrari from where you were.
You had a good start too to be honest. Skipping through the Williams, you thought you were doing a pretty good job.
When you spotted Sainz and Vettle slowing down, your immediate thought was too the right, going inside Magnussen's HAAS to skip all the bunched up cars that had accumulated through turn 4.
But you missed Kvyat's Alpha Tauri who was heading the same direction as you.
It all happened so fast.
The second you turned and were ready to go for the straight line, you felt his wheel hit the back of your car, and before you knew it you lost control and headed right for the wall.
The car split in half, sending you fly against the broken railing. Everything exploded, something you had never seen in your driving years.
Back during the race, most of the drivers were starting to see the burning massive fire that started to rise.
At this point no one knew if you were ok, no one even knew who had crashed.
"So, red flag"
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. This was a big one" Charles felt his heart thump in his chest, this wasn't an accident you experienced every race, and definitely wasn't something to take lightly. "This was a big one. Are they ok?"
"I'll get back to you." The Engineer suddenly felt a mix of compassion and fear flash right through him. Charles didn't know it was you, he didn't know if you were ok - he was bracing for worst.
"fuck-" Charles said again through the intercom and this didn't help the poor engineer who gulped. "I've seen it in the mirrors..." His voice trailed. "Who is it?" The feared question. He didn't know if it was you, it could have been, you starting from the back. "Is Y/n ok?"
There was a blank in the intercom. As if no one wanted to tell Charles who had crashed. He didn't say anything, too scared for the reply.
"Stay calm Charles."
'Fuck' he thought. If he was telling him this, it had to be you.
"It's Y/n." He felt his whole world crash on him. The sky could have fallen on him and he would have felt better.
"No- p- please" His eyes stung. "Oh- fuck, fuck, fuck me." He angrily made a turn. "S- Still no information?"
"Still no information I will let you know." The engineer choked.
Charles wanted to blame everything and everyone. Himself included. He was beating himself up even thought he knew he had no blame to take for your accident. No one did.
He started regretting every single thing he hadn't done.
He regretted not asking you out to that party when you were 17, and all those other times he wanted to ask you out. Because if he had, he would have gotten be to yours for longer. He regretted putting that vacation the the Caribbean off because of work. He regretted anything he had ever been angry with you about. He regretted everything he hadn't done with you that you always said you would do.
And most of all he regretted not marrying you.
If you didn't make it out alive, his life would be empty forever - and he didn't know how he'd even have the strength to pilot the car back to the pit lane.
In the mean time panic startled you, and every safety test you had ever taken in your life flashed before you. You were getting hot from the fire and your breathing was getting so uneven that for a second you didn't know if you were going to make it out alive.
You managed to unbuckle yourself, slipping through the seat and the halo, jumping through the barrier and out of the fire as best you could, grabbing the medical helpers hand with everything you had in you.
"You alright?" You heard echoes of voices all around you, but it was too hard to focus. You felt someone pull your helmet off as you got into the medical car, making you take as many grateful breath of cool air as you possible could.
"Pit lane, now you will go to the pit lane." Charles heard his engineers voice but could barely listen to it.
"S-Still no information?" He was so scared to ask.
"Still no information."
Silence. Dreaded silence.
"She's out of the car, she's alright." The breath he was holding disappeared into the air.
"Oh fucking hell, thank god" He wanted to cry, kiss you, hug you, anything to show you how much he loved you. He wanted to kiss the people who had designed your car and with enough safety regulations, he wanted to thank every single person and thing in this entire world that you were ok.
Because his world was alive.
You were alive.

Race-Week's Mid Season Review
I mean what a start to the season we have had. I have to admit at the start of the year I was expecting Mercedes and Lewis to walk away with both titles easily and I've been pleasantly surprised to get to see the wheel to wheel battles that we have had this year.
I have to admit I have terrible memory, so I've gone back and watched all the race highlights to help me out.
Its a long post and as such it'll be under the cut, feel free to share your opinions - I'd love to hear what you think.
Top 3 Best Moments
Esteban Ocon's win in Hungary, what can I say, I'm a sucker for a first time winner and I have been following Esteban's career since GP3 and he's always massively impressed me. How he was able to stay calm with Sebastian hunting him down I'll never know, but I definitely think this will stay in my highlights of the season. He never made a mistake and that was insane.
Fernando's defensive driving in Hungary - this literally was incredible to watch, my dad and I were literally screaming at the screen and it was definitely a moment that showed that Fernando has still got it.
Sebastian Vettel's P5 at Monaco; this is way more spectacular than either of his podium drives, because he and the team absolutely nailed the strategy. This was the first race I would say since possibly even Hockenheim 2018 where we saw the old Seb back and he looked comfortable in the car and it looked like things were turning around.
Top 3 Worst Moments
The Silverstone crash, well not the crash itself but the reaction from fans and the teams afterwards. Especially the drama over the radios and the comments and blatant racism on social media. I've said it before that did not make the sport look good at all and also as fans we were robbed from what would have been an incredible battle, that likely would have lasted race long. But my main comment on this and the reason why it is top of my worst moments is the fact that the outcry afterwards was despicable and not a good look for the sport
The tyres at Baku, that just made the sport look really bad. If the tyre manufacturer can't produce a tyre or chose the right set of tyres for Baku, how could you expect them to produce suitable tyres for the rest of the season. Then with the aftermath of Pirelli refusing to take blame and instead implying that the teams weren't complying with the rules but still bringing more robust tyres later down the line. It was all a mess and we are very lucky that neither Max or Lance were seriously hurt, with such high speed failures in such dangerous places.
Daniel Ricciardo lapped by Lando Norris at Monaco, out of all the drivers that changed teams Daniel seems to be the one that has struggled the most and especially with all the media and the fans before this season saying that Daniel was going to annihilate Lando and then that happened at Monaco no less, it was definitely a rough moment.
So who has improved on points 11 races in compared to last year and who has lost out?
3 Biggest Surprises
Fernando Alonso - I think everyone was kind of expecting Fernando to not quite be his old self, I was kind of expecting to see a repeat of Michael Schumacher at Ferrari, still a really good driver but not his prime, but Nando has come in and knocked it out of the park. Bahrain (until the wrapper killed him) was so impressive, the last 2 laps at Baku was insane, the Silverstone sprint race, Hungary in general. I don't think that Fernando has a prime, the man could probably keep racing into his 50s, hes finished 8/11 races in the points and 6 of them are in a row.
Lando Norris - he has been massively over delivering this year, the McLaren package is strong but Lando has almost taken on the role that Checo used to have, where he was the midfield driver that was there if anything was to happen usually lucking out with a P4/5 or even a podium. He has massively impressed me this year, especially in Imola, Austria and Silverstone where he just got on with his race and for him to still hold 3rd in the drivers midway through the season is ridiculously impressive.
Carlos Sainz - I would say that Carlos has always been a driver that consistently delivers but in an under the radar way. I was expecting him to do well at Ferrari but he has massively exceeded my expectations, hes currently 3 points ahead of Charles and was probably the quickest to adapt to a new team (the extra testing paid off).
Top 3 Let Downs
Daniel Ricciardo - this one hurts me to write but unfortunately it's true, whenever the McLaren video on Sky Sports comes on with Daniel saying he expects podiums and wins from himself this year it hurts me. He's only been in Q3 5 times out of 11 races and in Portugal he was out in Q1. The McLaren should be easily in Q3 every week. I think Daniel may just be a slightly less adaptable driver than some of the others, he had similar issues with his first year in Renault, but I have to admit that I expected more from him this year and hopefully its just an adjustment thing and he'll be stronger in the latter half of the year.
Yuki Tsunoda; there was a lot of energy around Yuki preseason and at the start of the year, especially with him scoring points on debut, but since then there hasn't been an awful lot to back this up. He's often getting kicked out in Q1 which when the Alpha Tauri is often the 5th best car, that shouldn't happen. Tyres seem to be a big issue with him and that's a major component of F1 and as a driver who in F2 was proclaimed to have great tyre management there's a discrepancy. I don't know if Red Bull are going to be patient enough to help him develop.
Valtteri Bottas; it does pain me to say it but Valtteri has had a rough start to the season, he's currently on his greatest points deficit to Lewis, 11 races in than he has been their whole time as teammates. 5 P3 finishes and 1 P2 so far. Realistically he should be easily 3rd in the drivers and yes he's had his fair share of bad luck this season, but there's been cases where he just doesn't trust the car.
