can you do headcanons of pepe marti having a long term crush on a driver!reader (like since childhood/karting days)? They're both managed by Fernando Alonso, and he's basically meddling trying to set the two of them up, while stil overprotective of reader.

to teach a young dog some old tricks | pepe marti x fem!reader

a confession: im quite new to to the pepe lore and fanbase so i tried really really hard to make this as accurate and interesting as possible. that being said, omg i have so many thoughts about this!!! it’s such a fun and playful idea i got to reaserch and writing as soon as i could! have a wonderful day baby and i sincerely hope you enjoy this one! cheers!! <3

i know i have some requests to write about paul but i can’t do it rn still processing his soft launch someone help

warning(s): teen feels! awkwardness and a lot of cutesy moments

pepe was one of your best friends since you can remember - you started karting around europe around the same time and quickly developed a strong bond

there weren’t a lot of girls at the tracks, and some boys weren’t very nice, but that wasn’t pepe’s style

even on a bad rainy day, he was full of smiles and encouraging words

he thought you were impressive- okay, maybe a little scary at first, with the fiery gleam in your eyes and a wide grin that made his teenage heart clench a little

therefore, he tried his best not to make you upset like those other kids, with their loud voices and nasty remarks

and so your defensive walls quickly crumbled: you became attached to the hip ever since

that was the story thought most of your junior series: it was always you and pepe against the world, both fiercely protective of each other on and off track

it was one of the things that drew in fernando alonso: he couldn’t remember the last time he smiled so much watching the two of you fight your way through the field and celebrate together

true passion and friendship, the very essence of the sport he devoted his life toward

he knew instantly that he wanted to see you grow and help cultivate that fire you displayed on track

“joder, kids these days… just like me and lewis back in the day huh”

that’s how you were taken under his wing and for a while things were going perfectly

that was until christian came into the picture

he had this disarming charm and warmth about him that matched pepe’s playfulness and kindness: soon they were inseparable, despite being in different teams and under different managers, they seemed to hang out all the time

it became worse when all of you moved to f3 and the boys became teammates

pepe’s greetings became briefer and his usual chatter was replaced by awkwardness

“hey! good to see you, uh, good luck in practice, sorry, i gotta go- chris told me the team needs me, see ya!”

it was upsetting, for sure, you were always there for each other in the past: he wasn’t performing well and you weren’t either

it seemed as the universe was telling you that the only way to succeed was together

“por dios, im such an idiot! why did i mess up turn four, rookie mistake-”

he ranted to chris all the time, just like he did to you all those years, but now it was different

“mate, don’t be so hard on yourself, nobody’s mad at you. out of all people, she will understand”

he was so ashamed

pepe didn’t want you to see him this frustrated, this weak… especially since you were so mad after your dnf; he wanted to come, but when he had heard those swears spew out of your perfect lips, the air just got kicked out of his lungs

his mind was completely blank, and all he could do was stare at you from the distance and stumble out a sorry and pull half-hearted smile

you were just so pretty when you were mad, he wanted to comfort you, to make it better, to blow off some steam together, to hug, to kiss that pout way from your lips… hold up, what?

the truth is, pepe had a massive crush on you

he tried to get him to confess, to talk to you at least, but it was all in vain

mansell figured him out quickly and teased him relentlessly about it until he realised just how deeply pepe’s feelings ran

it was one that begun as admiration and friendship and grew slowly into something more as you grew up together, without his even noticing when you became so beautiful he couldn’t think straight when you were nearby

when fernando saw the results, he was surprised to say the least’ what do you mean? his two star drivers, competing for points instead of wins every weekend? it raised some eyebrows around the paddock

he had thought he figured it out quickly, the pressure got to you and you weren’t getting the same amount of support, right? but pepe? he made so many new friends and seemed to be just fine besides his results: so what has changed?

he needed one look at your face after he mentioned pepe’s name to knew what this was about

“you two are going to jerez with me. i don’t want any excuses”

he though that getting you in the same room for a longer period would solve the problem by itself but oh damn how quickly that one backfired

at the track, pepe was making mistake after mistake, avoiding alonso’s gaze and your presence

“you see this? you have this pattern when you mess up the left-hander and instantly go off the racing like at sequence- pepe, mierda, ¿estas escuchando o no?”

under each his determined look there was hint of sheepishness and shame

“in my time when a boy liked a girl he would just ask her our on a date and not make a disaster out of himself”

he said gruffly but his tense expression was soon replaced by understanding and a bit of mischief in his eyes

“but, i can’t possibly do that to her! she’s already under so much pressure and i’s scared i’ll ruin our friendship-“

“believe me, if you keep this up it’ll get ruined soon. you can either man up and do something about or lose her and your career in the process”

fernando’s words were harsh but rang true: he had to do something about

the next few days were a mix of gruesome training and long talks

you were both too exhausted to lie and fernando’s efforts to get two of you alone in one room didn’t go unnoticed: on the fifth day pepe gave up and confessed, stuttering and blushing but confessed either way

he then apologizes by taking you out to a very nice restaurant (one that may or may not have been recommended by the older spaniard)

pepe was very careful with his words, remembering the words of his mentor: "if she doesn't run you over - i will"

Everytime I do a history style post it does really well. So that being said, let me know who weird stories you’d love to learn more about, specific history, driver backstories, etc and I’ll start making them more regular! I’ll do basically anything F1 or F2

Some topics I’m already considering:

F2 controversies, the gpda’s history, young seb, young Lewis, Fernando’s big crash, the missing Monaco diamond, the strolls involvement in motorsports, teams that left the grid, the airstrikes a few years ago, red bull driver academy, the creation of Vegas gp, Juan Manuel correas backstory, etc

[janesurlife]

That's cute

I'm so proud of the junior drivers with Nikola Tsolov winning from pole to Tim coming from 17th on the gird to finish in third is amazing, so happy for them 👏🙌✨��🩵

haasbands divorce so bad red bull got custody of Chloe

[thebookaddict7]

I went to watch the F1 movie with some of my friends yesterday, and I have a lot to say…

First off, no, I did not like it. At all. Just getting that out of the way. This is my opinion, and if you enjoyed it, great! It's not my intention to offend anyone, and you are absolutely free to disagree with me.

So… here goes:

I felt that the storyline was sloppy, with a predictable script and wooden dialogue. The movie also felt unrealistic in its portrayal of racing—manufactured and lacking authenticity—falling far short of great motorsport films like Gran Turismo, Rush, or Ford v Ferrari, just to name a few.

The characters, to put it simply, were poorly written, with only a pinch of backstory—if any—leaving the audience with no real connection to them. They were all one-dimensional, with no depth whatsoever, including extremely weak villain motivations and a handful of overused clichés. The movie dragged on and on without anything meaningful really happening.

But what truly upset me was the love interest. She was a successful, smart, and beautiful woman who was the chief of aerodynamics (I’m pretty sure?), but of course, she had to be the love interest—ultimately reducing her to a romantic subplot.

Why couldn’t she just be good at her job without sleeping with a driver?

It’s so rare for women to hold top roles in F1. I had hoped her character would represent something progressive—a real chance to show more women as brilliant engineers in Formula One. But instead, she had no personal storyline beyond being divorced and her connection to the male lead.

In the real world, women in F1—and in many STEM fields—have to work twice as hard to be taken seriously. I find it absolutely disappointing and insulting that the filmmakers used this opportunity only to reduce her to a love interest.

I mean at this point what do you even say about Perez. It's like that story about the naked king... everyone is seeing it but no one wants to do anything about it.
