secret | m.v.

synopsis: in which you're in love with the enemy

my masterlist

You couldn't stop giggling, desperately trying to keep your lips on Max's. 

"Shh, you're gonna get us caught, you know" Max mumbled against your lips, searching his pockets for the hotel room card.

"I don't even care right now"" you whispered back, wrapping your arms tighter around his neck to hold yourself up.

Max had officially been crowned the World Champion for the third time in a row and, seeing as you couldn't celebrate with him in the paddock, you were desperate to get your hands on each other the moment you arrived at the hotel.

You had told your uncle, Toto, that you weren't feeling well and would call it a night early to make sure nobody would mind you missing the team celebrations and debriefs.

"God damn it" Max cursed as he pulled away from you and frantically searched his pockets again, smiling when he finally pulled out the card.

"Allow me" you whispered sultry, turning around and pushing yourself against him, which made him groan.

You smiled to yourself as you pushed the key card in, eager to celebrate your boyfriend the way he deserved to be celebrated.

However, as soon as you pushed Max inside the room, before you could even think about following him, a voice stopped you dead in your tracks.

"Y/N?" your first instinct was to freeze on the spot but you immediately shut the door to Max's room, trying to make yourself look presentable before turning around and looking at Max's engineer, Lambiase.

"Hi, Gianpero" you were trying to keep the emotions which were running high through your body at bay, hoping he hadn't noticed anything that would raise his suspicions.

"What are you doing here? This is Max's room" he was confused, but it didn't seem like he had any suspicions whatsoever about what you could have been doing there.

"Oh, I just figured I would swing by and congratulate him because I didn't get around to it at the track. Wasn't feeling well so I didn't go out and saw this opportunity before he went to bed" the easiness with which you just lied to this man surprised even you, as well as Max who had his ear against the door and was listening to your conversation.

"Oh, yeah, makes sense. Isn't Toto looking for you? Does he know you're here?" he asked, looking around.

"Yeah, I told him I would stop by Max's room to say congrats before going to bed" you nodded, eyeing the engineer to make sure he would buy your story.

He thought for a moment before nodding, wishing you a good night and departing down the hall to his own room.

After making sure there was nobody else that could see you, you knocked on Max's door and he was quick to open it, tugging you close and kissing you again.

"You're hot when you lie" he whispered, teasing you as you rolled your eyes but fell deeper into the kiss.

"Shut up"

♡♡♡♡♡

Working for Mercedes this particular Max-dominated season was a bitch, to put it like that. You couldn't even congratulate your boyfriend on his wins in public, fearing it would draw attention to both of you and your relationship would become public.

Something neither of you wanted, for now.

You knew it would give Toto a heart attack, so you preferred to wait and see if the relationship was as serious as you thought it was before you told him anything.

However, Max was getting tired of hiding all the time. He loved you, and even though sneaking around everyone's back was fun, he wanted everyone to know how happy he was with you.

He didn't want to hide anymore.

"Babe?" he had been meaning to talk to you about this for a while now, and figured the end of the season was as good of an opportunity as you were going to get.

"Yes?" you were in the bathroom, doing your skincare routine before getting ready for bed.

You had both decided to remain in Abu Dhabi for a couple more days after the season finish, all the other teams having already packed and left for their homes.

Your uncle was especially finding it weird that you wanted to stay longer and even offered to stay with you, but you insisted you would be fine on your own and just wanted to go on an adventure by yourself.

"I've been meaning to ask you something for a little while" he started, fiddling with his fingers.

You didn't say anything, only speaking once you exited the bathroom and took a seat next to him on the shared bed of your hotel room.

"What's up?" you were caressing his slightly damp hair, having taken a shower just before you.

"I know we've been having fun sneaking around and so for the last couple of months, but I think it's time to let everyone know about us? The season's over, everything is cooling down" he explained, taking your hands in his and kissing your knuckles.

You thought it through in your head, not speaking for a couple of moments. He was right. The season was over, the public attention would soon die down, the tensions between the teams were always gone during the winter break, your uncle was always relaxed and let go of everything during the holidays. It would be the perfect opportunity.

"Let's do it" you finally spoke up, watching his face slowly lighten up and his eyes starting to twinkle.

"Really?" he was slightly shocked, having been sure that you would be opposed to the idea altogether.

"Yes. I know I've been asking a lot from you, hiding this for so many months because I didn't want to tarnish your reputation. You've been patient with me, plus it was about time I showed the world you're mine and only mine" you cupped his cheek and pecked his lips, smiling once you saw the happy expression on your boyfriend's face.

"I love you" he said before attacking your face with kisses, making you giggle.

"I love you too"

Yall lowkey underrate the Vegas GP commentary about the podium car, like he 100% enjoyed explaining the minor history between Max and Charles 😭

“They got along too well.. but it’s so funny, that’s the exact same conversation you’d have after getting out of a thirty lap go-kart race […] two of those three raced each other I Go-Karts and have had that exact conversation”

[millleti]

"this looks like it was made for you"

we had spanish charles, we will also have monegasque carlos

Du-du-du-du-du-du-du Steve. 🎶

yall clutching ur pearls about drivers' vocal discomfort towards vegas gp and its excessive media circus as if most f1 drivers arent introverts wid hyperfixations who like to put on their lil helmets and hop inside tight spaces and perform the exact same task for 2 and half hours . wow i can't believe those specific people dont like change and wud prefer to stay out of the limelight I'm shocked

[dreamingamongthestars]

this max and this charles

are dating

[paint-it-red-and-black]

do you guys sometimes just randomly think "vegas gp" and then sit for a while, do breathing exercises or go to touch the grass to remind yourself that it wasn't a fever dream?

because personally i do

[slutforpringles]

I need to know whatever it is Pierre told Daniel that has him 👀👀

[f1-birb]

What if the jacket Lando was wearing after coming back from hospital was Jon’s. Cause that jacket looked massive on Lando and Jon is bigger than him. Because it’s seams like his top fireproof was taken off

I think you might be right anon

here's what Lando was wearing during the drivers parade - hoodie, gilet/body-warmer and then pre-race the gilet over his fireproofs

you can clearly see the neckline of the fireproofs and the gilet and jackets have the same sort of neck

he also clearly had a bare arm so I assume they either eased him out of the top or cut off because I think they may have used sticky pads to hook him up to some monitoring things

when we see him in debrief, he's got a t-shirt on and the gilet, so I'm gonna guess he either found a top he had on before, a new one, and then his gilet

but going back to those other pics of him coming back to the paddock, you can't see the fireproofs in these pics and I doubt it's just because the jacket is too big for him, and Jon definitely was wearing that style of jacket so in conclusion yes, I think it might have been Jon's jacket

which is adorable
