the way we used to be mutuals on hockey tumblr (tho idk if you would remember me lmao) and now here I am astronomically late to the party dying over Maxiel and I find you here. Amazing. Chefs kiss. It’s actual fate, I have devoured almost ur whole blog at this point

i don’t follow many people so if we were hockeyblr mutuals, i almost certainly remember you! but also i need to say, there is no such thing as being too late to the maxiel party. all of us are still doing shots and dancing on tables no matter the hour.

the thing with discovering maxiel is how much content there constantly is to unlock. they were just a natural, real, rare friendship from an era of f1 where that was uncommon and not really … pushed and curated by social media managers the way they aim to portray all current teammate pairings as good friends. because of this, it’s harder to find a lot of content perhaps lost to time because it wasn’t neatly packaged by a social media team and you can’t just scroll down branded pages to find it all. so many of their best moments are from outside sources. but that means random stuff can still be found, and there’s so many years of it to dig up, so you will never TRULY hit the bottom of the well. also, every time you start to wonder if the lights are about to turn on at the club and everyone sent home, maxiel show up out of nowhere and have a padel date or pull shit like frank hermann, and the party keeps raging on.

Crane: What about Franz's brother, Frank Hermann? Max: He is busy in Australia, leave him alone. Crane: Apparently, there's only two people in the world that have seen him, and that's me and Danny Ric.

re: this

Thirty seconds after he laugh-laugh-bicep comments, Max texts, It was Herbert no? You were Frank Herbert. Like the dune guy 😂

Yeah, Daniel was Frank Herbert. When he met Max at the fucking Idaho Falls Regional Airport Arrivals lane with a Franz Hermann sign, two jobs, one baby, and a lifetime ago.

“Daniel, we have to agree to it first,” Max had laughed. “I need to know I am Franz Hermann. I see this sign and I am like, Who is this guy? Never heard of him.”

Daniel wiggled his fingers under Max’s chin where it was soft and patchy. “He’s you.”

Max laughed, squirmed away. “And who are you?” He stripped the airport tags off his bags and crumpled them into a sticky ball he dropped in the passenger cup holder. Daniel had a case of Red Bull in the boot he felt too shy to bring out.

“I’m your driver…Frank.” Daniel started driving, as if to prove it, following GPS directions to Jackson Hole. Jackson’s Hole, Max had messaged, laugh-laugh-bicep. “Frank…Herbert.”

“I think that is already someone, Daniel.”

Daniel fiddled with his sunnies. “You’re already someone.”

Max just laughed, easy and unbothered by the 30 hours of travel he’d had to get there, even though travel always bothered him.

The road stretched out ahead, bright and endless.

Now, Daniel texts back, Maybe they got married, yeah? Our guys Franz and Frank. Coupla love birds, those two. He tries not to feel nervous; Max was the one who exhumed the ancient alias in the first place. Smarter than us, hey.

He stares at the two tick read receipt and imagines horses, geysers, a sky full of stars.

these two should be the only ones allowed to use reels btw. atp its a central character in their story.

I need you all the know that this comment limits means that Daniel has it set to his close friends only, and Max is in fact, on his close friends list.

[overtake]

he said only husbands can comment actually ⛔️🚫⛔️🚫

[overtake]

it's just so insane like. he gets fired but his last act is taking the fastest lap TO HELP MAX. Makes time after getting fired to PLAY PADEL WITH MAX. max wins the wdc and DANIEL SENDS THAT VIDEO. he's in melbourne in the leadup to the gp and his last thing to do is SEE MAX then YEETS OUT. now he's clearly entirely blocked out f1 AND YET KNOWS ABOUT THIS??????
