Charles is a better man than me because if my team had me out there racing at 200+ km/h with questionable brakes, I'd stop the car on track and start biting people like a rabid dog

Max and Charles making their inchident everyone's problem

I FOUND ONE

There is something so special about Max’s hugs. Do you think we will get a lestappen hug this season? Or do you think they are still too far away from that level of intimacy?

i think it's charles that mostly isn't very fond of hugs usually (he hugs mainly with his mechanics), so im afraid this is the closest to a hug we'll get but NEVER SAY NEVER. we have to remember - max never gives up he PERSISTS

my favourite max verstappen lore 📝

- he donated to a koala hospital during the widespread aussie bushfires in 2019 because "I saw all the images and I found it very sad to see something like that” & "It is of course so difficult to put out fires like that, and then you see those koalas burned alive. I thought perhaps I could help a little."

- max cried in front of the team (11:41*) and helmut marko when he couldn’t take part in qualifying for the monaco 2018 grand prix because of his accident in fp3

*they don’t explicitly say he was crying but it’s implied, especially with the addition of marko’s comments

- max watched a star is born on the plane to a race and was so angry and upset after watching the ending that he went to bed. he apparently would like a sequel where bradley cooper doesn’t die.

- he is scared of big hairy spiders, snakes and… zombies

- max drinks coconut water while racing in f1

- max paid to have the pride flag on his character in among us

- max doesn’t have any heroes, but he does speak about how meeting football player Johan Cruyff had a huge impact on him. He notes that his winning time in Barcelona 2016 — 1hr 41min 40sec — has 14 twice within it, and 14 was Cruyff’s number. he’s almost spiritual about this not being coincidental.

- max didn’t understand what victoria was trying to tell him when she announced she was pregnant! (someone help me source this?)

the whole point of fanfic is to read about a guy who is literally just existing and then everything goes wrong and then everything goes wrong and then everything goes wrong and then everything goes wrong and then he fucks nasty style and then everything goes wrong and then everything gets all cute for a moment and then everything goes wrong and then everything goes wrong and th- Chapters: 35/?

The duality of max's gentle waist touches VS charles manhandling him in vegas

nothing prepared me for the moment this hit the tl

[inabottlelikelightning]

saw on twt that arthur sends charles the song ‘pass the dutchie’ before every race pls that is so funny 😭😭😭 because the song is not even about the dutch i think

max and charles’s insane obsession w each other must be such an inside joke with their family and friends

this sounds so ai generated that im myself always bamboozled it's real

charles and max, it really looks like two teenagers who have a crush on each other but don't dare admit it. This is how I perceive their interaction (between looking for what to say, the long and furtive glances, looking then looking away, their awkwardness and only mentioning each other). It's hilarious and sometimes embarrassing to watch. (annoying for them)🤣🤣

it's all fun and games until max delays the entire ferrari press team to ask charles about the weather

“You think I’m beautiful?” Raju pressed, coming closer. 

here's a quick doodle from The Tiger And The Snake by RamBheem (Daphne_Bassett) that does not even begin to do this incredible fic justice.

not to sound obsessive but it just doesn’t make any SENSE. like. ferrari’s entire thing is that no driver can become bigger than the brand itself. forza ferrari sempre. ferrari drivers are media trained to be placid and polite and almost never speak out about anything “controversial”. seb couldn’t wear his rainbow ally getup until he had left ferrari! lewis would have to tone down the majority of his advocacy.

charles has shown time and time again that he will sacrifice himself for ferrari, and the tifosi laud him for it over and over again. i don’t think lewis would ever stand for this kind of treatment. especially from a team that hasn’t won a championship for so long.

they don’t know these lewis to ferrari rumours are giving me a tummy ache

[inabottlelikelightning]

OH MY GOD

[inabottlelikelightning]

genuinely struggling to imagine something worse than lewis to ferrari rn

something so crazy-making about unhealthy mentor-protegé relationships. we're foils, we're mirrors, we're the same person, we're a parent and a child, we're lovers, we're enemies, we'd be better off without each other, we'd kill and die for each other
