#charles and lewis wanting wdc's

[randomfingthings]

At this point just like

[leqclerc]

Given the fact that seb wasn't going to continue being a part of ferrari, who would you pick as a teammate for Charles?

Oof, good question! I’d say Checo or Valtteri. They both have their own ambitions but when it comes down to it they could see the bigger picture and put the team first. Checo and Max and Valtteri and Lewis both have very good relationships with each other, so it’s not like the use of team orders has to fracture the team or whatever. Checo especially has been solid in his role, picking up wins and podiums when Max is compromised (for example Baku last year, Monaco this year) and also does a great job of defending (Max has literally credited him for helping him to the title — I personally can’t see Carlos doing anything of the sort for Charles.)

Valtteri I personally really like as well and he just has a chill personality, I don’t think he’d want to idk become Ferrari’s new star or “steal” the Tifosi from Charles or whatever. Then again he’s suffered enough under Merc’s bullshit policies and seemed really unhappy and exhausted by the end of it all, so I’m not sure he’d walk back into a similar scenario and risk getting mismanaged, he seems happier to be in a midfield team where he’s the experienced leader and they don’t have that pressure on them to constantly deliver.

At this point I think even Daniel (who was apparently briefly in talks with Ferrari before they settled on Carlos) might’ve been a better choice. Yeah there’s issues with team orders at McLaren (though admittedly I haven’t been paying much attention to that since I’ve got my hands full with Ferrari bs 🙄) and he didn’t want to be boxed into this permanent role as Max’s second with no room to grow and achieve more but… Idk. Maybe he wouldn’t be so manipulative about the whole thing at least. It’s interesting to wonder how it would’ve played out, certainly, especially knowing he was on Ferrari’s radar and a possibility at one point.

And… hmm. Maybe Kevin as a wild card? Or Alex, if he wouldn’t pull a Monaco and impede 😭 Ohh and maybe Mick? Like, I think we all thought that was happening circa 2024 and then… nope. I don’t really “know” (if that’s the right word) Mick all that well but I think it could be a functional lineup.

[fullgazly]

just finished watching the race. yuki and ferrari giving me migraines again. thoughts for my neighbours who had to hear me raging at 1pm

[milflewis]

Whats the most deranged WIP you have right now vs the most wholesome

agahjsksk pls my most deranged wip is probably either my ferwis + serial killer one or my seb/lewis/nando do le mans. the first one will be just a drabble but the second one is going to be really fucking long and it’s killing me.

my most wholesome one is probably my lewis/charles/pierre fic where’s it’s just them being cute and getting together bc charles accidently says they like the sounds lewis makes when he’s playing video games bc it sounds like he’s fucking in french and they don’t know lewis can speak french. the title is literally ‘is this love. i’m trying really hard to make this love’

ask me anything about my fics

[lunaticamic]

you don’t regret signing lewis fucking hamilton. for whichever driver. but it would be funny

I don't know how so many people can't grasp the fact that contracts expire. No, the team didn't disrespect Carlos by not posting anything for his departure when they have a whole season ahead of them, and they didn't disrespect him by replacing him with a 7 time wdc. It was his camp's constant talking with audi and putting the blame on the team when there was zero need for that, that led to this. Carlos not renewing with ferrari lies wholly on Carlos, not charles. Which team in their sane state would pass up the opportunity to sign THE LEWIS HAMILTON. You don't have to like Lewis to acknowledge the fact that statistically, he is the greatest this sport has seen. It is almost an honor for Carlos that he is getting replaced by a 7 time wdc and not a rookie, like Ollie (I would be happy with either Lewis or ollie). So it is quite a shame that people (i.e., media) seem to diminish Charles' talent just to prop up Carlos, which is quite frankly disrespectful looking at the stats. You can be happy for someone or want something better for them without bringing down the other person ( for the sky commentators). All this bullshit smear campaign that has been going on against Charles in the media is disgusting and diminishes the value of talents in this sport. You will not see any team principal not pick Charles given the option ( Binotto merda), but by the way, the media is treating him you would think he finished last in the championship last season and is behind Sargent in the current standings and not 4 points off the leader. The wdc drivers rate him on their level even with just 5 wins to his name. That just shows how much of a threat he would be if given the right machinery. It is not a surity that he will win the wdc for ferrari this year or the next year, but I as a fan of him, believe in it tremendously. And it is a bit jarring as a fan of this sport to see such a talent get mistreated by everyone constantly.

[valyrfia]

I’ve been thinking about it, and I now firmly believe that Charles signed a pre-contract with Red Bull in the week before COTA. Initially, he did it with the intent of putting pressure on Ferrari but then over the course of the triple header he slowly started to realise that maybe honouring that pre-contract MIGHT be his best chance at a WDC. This is heavily reflected in the socials and PR of Red Bull, Ferrari, and Charles himself and ties together all the Lestappen interactions of the past couple of months from Max’s answers at press conferences to the infamous padel date. Buckle up, because it’s going to be a ride.

So I believe to pinpoint the start of the current PR wave/movement that we've coined as Lestappen Gate 2023 we have to look all the way back to Monza. Around Monza, there were numerous rumours that a huge Charles contract renewal was imminent and it was going to be announced, etc. etc. Charles did put these rumours to bed by saying if there were a contract like the one that had been rumoured, he would've signed it immediately. Now, I believe that with Charles confirmed to be unsigned (at around the same time that the George/Lewis and Oscar renewals would've been happening), Red Bull Racing approached Charles to reopen talks.

But I think Charles stalls them, isn't open to talks, until Singapore where Carlos Sainz wins. This throws Ferrari into complete disarray as Fred suddenly can't open talks with Charles as it would then be clear that he will not be re-signing Carlos Sainz. I think it then becomes obvious to Charles and his team that in order for the contract talks to begin they need pressure to negate Santander and the Sainz family breathing down Ferrari's throat. So Charles actively enters talks with Red Bull with the intent of putting that pressure on Ferrari. Also worth noting, Singapore also marked Charles as something special, a generational talent who is also willing to be an exception n2 driver when the team requires it of him, especially when his teammate starts on pole. I think this makes Red Bull even more eager to begin talks with Charles. Interestingly, this is where we get the first Red Bull Lestappen post of this current era, the Lecstappen alert.

This brings us through Suzuka to Qatar, Max winning his 3rd WDC, Charles congratulating him and then effuse about Max and Red Bull in interviews. Seeing the level of success that Max has had is what pushes Charles to decide that he is going to sign a pre-contract with Red Bull for a seat in 2025 because either way, he wins. He either manages to put pressure on Ferrari to get a contract with all the clauses he wants (external brand deals, his own branding, car development to suit him, etc.) OR he gets the MOST talked about seat in F1.

Now this is a key point. I believe the padel date was an excuse to get Max and Charles in the same room. Specifically, for them to have a frank and honest chat about whether they could work as teammates and two n1 drivers on the same team. This is probably the first serious heart to heart that these two have had, which then explains their attitude and closeness in the triple header and them being more ready to be vulnerable and honest with and about each other. Then, in the week before COTA, satisfied that he could be teammates with Max if push came to shove, Charles Leclerc signs a pre-contract with RBR for 2025.

(It's also worth noticing that in the week before COTA, the Lando Norris to RBR rumours and talk noticeably died down, despite Oscar winning the sprint in Qatar).

Now this brings us to COTA, where Charles instantly starts to make PR moves to build a brand for himself. His first big move is signing with WME, a talent agency, and something that Ferrari drivers typically aren't allowed to do. The WME signing solidifies in my mind that a pre-contract exists, because if there is one thing Charles wouldn't do, it's jeopardise his chances of racing in F1. If there's a chance that Ferrari would drop him for this, he just wouldn't do it. However, if he has a guaranteed seat in 2025 no matter the outcome, he would totally do it. It must be said, I believe that Charles is using the pre-contract fully as leverage against Ferrari at this point UNTIL the strategy fuck up. After the strategy fuck up, Charles is noticeably angry and outspoken about it, and Fred starts to freak out a little bit. RBR in the mean time, are starting to try and change the Lestappen narrative from rivals to a duo, with Charles starting to feature heavily on RBR socials.

Moving on to Mexico, Charles does well, considering. But what's important about Mexico is that this is the first time that Charles has truly been treated like a villain by the fans at the track. This is key, not only because of RBR's reaction to it (which I will explore), but also because this is Charles's first taste of what a move to RBR could be like, of what it would feel like were he to become the antihero rather than the golden boy of F1. However, the real clincher is that rather than RBR playing into the narrative of Charles the villain, even despite him literally being involved in the DNF of their own driver (Checo) at his home race, they instead make sure to capture all angles of Charles and Max interacting and one of their own pays special attention to Charles on the podium. In a way, this is the weekend that shows Charles that even though Red Bull and Ferrari are completely different, Red Bull can still be as much of a family to him as Ferrari has been if he wants them to be. Moreso, in fact, considering Ferrari didn't even bother showing up to Charles's P3 podium.

So entering the weekend in Brazil, Charles is pictured wearing his own clothing line that it was rumoured Ferrari forced him to discontinue and Fred Vasseur is starting to get shit scared and starting to talk to anyone from media who will listen about how talented Charles is. Charles does put it on the front row, but there's no real Forza Ferrari about it, and Charles has stopped wearing Ferrari merch in the paddock. A Red Bull employee (Max's PT Brad) is the first person to congratulate Charles on the front row.

Then, the DNS happens. A completely avoidable thing that happened due to Ferrari incompetency, and all hell breaks loose. Charles leaves the paddock before he can finish his Ferrari PR duties like a post-race video, and makes it very clear that he is FURIOUS in all his interviews. Now, laughably, at this point is when Ferrari-Charles contract negations began, or at least, that's what was leaked to the media. In my mind, Charles communicated very clearly to Fred at this point that his pre-contract with Red Bull is a very real threat, and Charles himself is beginning to seriously consider honouring it, and if Ferraro don't get together, they WILL lose their Il Predestinato to Red Bull. At this moment, Fred Vasseur is absolutely terrified. The world is very obviously on Charles's side and sympathetic after the DNS, while being at best apathetic and at worst hostile toward the Scuderia. Meanwhile, Red Bull continue with their Lestappen antics across all social media channel, again publicising the idea that Max and Charles are close and may have once been rivals but are buddies now, like in their tiktok of Max doing the "just an inchident" trend.

Now I haven't mentioned the onboards yet, which were spotted by some eagle eyes fans during the Mexico and Brazil GP weekends, in which Charles's onboard was displayed very clearly alongside their actual drivers, Max and Checo. But the existence of the onboards on the Red Bull pitwall make perfect sense if Charles did sign a pre-contract. Red Bull are gathering data to sway Charles further, almsot a "yeah so here's exactly where Ferrari fucked your race, and here's is what we would've done differently."

The break in the triple header, Charles is noticeably refraining from Forza Ferrari-ing. Rather, he calls the paps on himself on more than one occasion and make sure he is seen with several high profile celebs, strengthening his public image and building his own narrative. Meanwhile, Ferrari is in full damage control mode, taking responsibility for the DNS, acknowledging Charles in a way they haven't fully done since Singapore. There are more leaks of contract negotiations, but Charles does not engage with them. Meanwhile, Red Bull are keeping up their Lestappen propaganda. Charles is making it clear to all parties that this pre-contract that he initially intended to just be a bargaining chip has suddenly become a serious threat to Ferrari.

Finally, this brings us to last weekend, Vegas. Charles, again, refuses to Forza Ferrari. Ferrari PR have put Charles and Red Bull content on absolute LOCKDOWN with not a HINT of Lestappen anywhere, and Max is making comments about the choice of team being important in winning even for generational talents while Charles fidgets and looks away. Fred praises Charles to hell and back again, implying that Charles will obviously be prioritised over Carlos by diminishing Singapore, but in the post-race, Charles still gives nothing. Just a thinly veiled comment about how good it feels to be fighting at the front again. Meanwhile, Red Bull amp up the Charles content even more, even fully posting a picture just of Charles's car. There are also not one, but two questions about Max and Charles's karting past. In discussion with my academic colleagues (@tsarinablogs, @thearchercore, @gaslightgirlsummer (further thanks for all three of them, for entertaining a much rougher draft of this essay a few days ago)), we've talked about the possibility that these questions might have themselves been planted in the media rooms, in order to further cement the idea and control the narrative of Charles and Max, childhood rivals turned dynamic duo. The sort of narrative one might find intriguing around teammates.

So this concludes my essay. I am almost sure that Charles has a pre-contract with Red Bull, which is why he is suddenly so outspoken about the problems and failings of Ferrari. Although this pre-contract originally began as a bargaining chip, I believe that Charles is seriously considering honouring it. Ferrari are desperate, and Red Bull have the upper hand and are starting to pave the way for a media shift in how Charles and Max as a pairing are perceived.

A/N: This was supposed to just be a one off thing but I kept writing and writing and I'm 99% sure that no one wants to read a 25k worded chapter only for it to BARELY get to the whole point/plot of the fic. so there's going to be another chapter (3 at max)

instagram

My dad’s always warned me about getting involved with the drivers. He told me that they’re all too young, naive and that all they’ll be good for is breaking my heart. For the longest time, I believed him. I’ve seen the way some of these young drivers were with girls.

Max cheating on Sofia with Kelly, Lando talking to 3 girls at once and George, well George hasn’t done anything. Point is, I’ve seen how they are and I don’t want to get with one of the young drivers only to have my heart ripped out. AGAIN.

I secretly dated one of the hottest drivers, Charles Leclerc for about 2 months. All was going well we were happy, we had secret dates and maybe I thought he was the one.

That was until one day In Monaco when I showed up to the paddock for Free Practice 1 & 2 I saw him hand-in-hand with Alexandra Saint Mleux. When I saw them together and I realized everything she had that I didn’t. She was at taller than me, skinnier, gorgeous, had flawless skin and had a modeling career. In other words, she was a goddess.

Seeing them together broke my heart and all I wanted to do was curl into a ball and sob, but I couldn’t. My dad warned me about the young drivers but I still went behind his back and did the exact opposite of what he told me not to do. I deserved this.

I had made a beeline for the Mercedes garage just to get out of the public eye but I was so focused on getting as far away from Charles and Alexandra as possible that I hadn’t noticed I was running straight into someone.

I hit this person's body with such force I almost went flying back and I reached my hands out in front of me to try and grab anything for stability and at the same time I felt two hands on either sides of my waist trying to balance me.

I was feeling so many different emotions right now I couldn't even think straight, clearly. I was so angry at Charles for cheating on me even if weren’t technically even dating, sadness because I actually thought Charles was actually capable of loving me, and full fledged embarrassment because I just ran full on into someone thinking about how Charles just ruined my life. And my makeup.

I looked up to face the person I just ran into and tried to profusely apologize for my actions, but when I looked up tho I was met with the most gorgeous brown eyes I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I wanted to stare into his eyes forever but in the half a second it took me to look up I also realized who it was that I ran into.

The 7x WDC Lewis Hamilton.

Even more embarrassment coated my face as I realized that not only did I just bump into someone while trying so hard not to have a mental breakdown but I ran into the Lewis Hamilton, my dad's best and most loved driver. “Oh my gosh Lewis, I’m so sorry! I wasn’t watching where I was going and I really didn’t mean to run into you. Please don’t tell my dad” Honestly, it sounded pathetic. ‘Don’t tell my dad’? what are you, 12?

I stared at him in silence for about all of 2 seconds which felt like an eternity until I saw his lips curled up into a smile and heard a small chuckle come from him. “I won’t tell your dad, cross my heart” Lewis said while making an ‘X’ motion over his chest “Who are you running from? I feel like maybe I'm obligated to know since you ran right into me trying to avoid them?”

My face fell in shock. How did he know I was trying to avoid someone? I mean it wasn't rocket science, if I saw a random girl running to an isolated area with tears streaming down her face, I too am going to assume she's avoiding someone. “I- Uh, Well. See”

“It’s okay, Y/N/N, I’m not going to tell anyone. You also don’t have to tell me if you don't want to but I’m willing to help you avoid them if you do.” Lewis said as he placed a hand on my cheek.

I’ve always found comfort in Lewis’ touch. Actually, I’ve always felt comfort whenever I was in the same room as Lewis. Something about his Aura screamed ‘You’re safe with me’

As much as I wanted to, I knew there was no point in lying because one thing about Lewis is that could read people like a book. Including me. With a long, loud and dramatic dragged out sigh I reluctantly told him the truth.

“I was seeing Charles behind my father’s back for about 2 months, everything was going well and I actually kinda thought he was my person but I just now saw him hand-in-hand and all cuddly with Alexandra.” Tears sprung in my eyes and threatened to fall as I recounted what I saw a few minutes prior to Lewis.

He had a sympathetic look in his face and I could tell he genuinely felt bad for me. The hand Lewis once briefly had on my face had moved down to grab my hand before he whispered, "How about this: Tomorrow we wear almost matching outfits and we come back here also hand-in-hand. We'd be together all day and we'll be cuddly too. You know, just to make Charles jealous and regret cheating on you."

Lewis was always putting people's well-being ahead of his and it made a shy smile creep onto my face. As much as I want to, maybe I shouldn't read too much into this though, he's probably just being nice to me to stay in my father's good graces.

"Lewis," I whispered as I placed my hand on his cheek "You don't have to be nice to me because I'm your boss's daughter"

he looked a bit hurt by my accusations. "Is that why you think I'm doing this?" his hand squeezed mine a little tighter.

"Why else would you, Lewis?" his hands came up to cup my face forcing me to look at him.

"Because Y/N/N, I-" he paused, almost like he was trying to find the right words to use. "I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world. I've seen you sneaking around with Charles and it took so much in me not to go over there and tear you away from him, to show him that you're mine. I know I'm older than you but I'm wiser and I'll treat you better than he can." My jaw dropped, there's no way that Lewis Hamilton, a 7x WDC is head over heels in love with me, right?

"Lew, I-" a voice interrupted me, turning my body into stone and my blood into ice.

"Y/N!" I knew that voice anywhere and if he saw the moment that me and Lewis just shared, we were both dead.

"Dad! Hi!" I tried to sound enthusiastic but I was so flushed from Lewis' confession.

"My baby," His hands cupped my face inspecting the red all over "Are you okay?"

"Oh yeah, I'm fine, I'm just hot. You know how the sun is in Monaco." I said with a shrug, trying to change the subject

"Oh you have to go in the AC! Lewis," my dad turned to face Lewis who was already facing in our direction

"Yes, Toto?" he said as he cocked his brow.

"I need you to take my darling girl inside. She has a condition where she can't sweat which causes her to overheat and pass out. I am too busy with this race and getting everything perfect to be worrying about my daughter having a heat stroke."

"Oh, jeez, thanks dad. Just send Lewis to do everything for you" I said in a playful tone

"Of course Toto, I'll take her in right now." Lewis said as he walked over to me and linked his arms with mine.

Lewis started guiding me through the garage and to his driver's room where he opened the door and gestured me in. Once inside he closed the door before facing me with unsure eyes.

"What's wrong Lew?" I said as I cautiously walked over to him.

"What were you going to say before Toto cut you off?" his voice so low, I almost didn't hear what he said.

"I was going to say," I stopped right in front of him, our chests were touching. We were so close I could feel his breath against my skin. "I think that you have to prove what you said about treating me better than how Charles did."

Lewis grabbed my face and pulled me into a searing kiss, our tongues fought for dominance but his won. Lewis picked me up and sat on his couch with me on his lap so I was straddling him all without breaking the kiss.

His hands found their rightful place on my hips and applied pressure forcing my hips down as I rocked my hips to apply more force against his hardening cock.

"Mmm, you taste so good. I can only imagine how much better you taste when I'm eating your pussy." Lewis mumbled against my lips as his hands went just a little bit lower to stop at the elastic of my leggings. I guided Lewis' hands under the fabric to release some of the tension building in my core.

He understood what I needed and quickly started to run his middle finger up and down my fold, collecting all my juices before inserting it in my pussy. Lewis slowly moved his finger in and out of my hole while using his thumb to rub circles on my clit. His movements were slow and sensual bringing me closer and closer to my orgasm. I started rocking my hips into his palm to add more friction to my core and to chase my orgasm which I really needed right now. I was just about to go over the edge until a knock at the door quickly halted both of our movements and caused Lewis to yank his hand out of me leaving me without finishing.

"Mate, FP2 starts in 15. They need us by our cars now" The voice of George could be heard from he other side of the door.

“Oh fuck me” I grunted as I pulled myself off of Lewis’ lap

“Trust me, I was planning on it” He said with a smirk on his face as his hand came to rest on my ass before giving it a smack.

Lewis poked his head out of the door to make sure no one would see us leave, after the all clear we quickly rushed out of his room, both of us going in opposite directions as to not get caught.

————

The next day I heard a knock at my hotel door at the early hours of 6:00am. With a grunt I pulled myself out of the comfort of my warm and cozy bed and made my way to the door. Whoever was interrupting my beauty sleep was going to get a mouthful, I’ll tell you that.

“Do you know what time it is?!” I whisper yelled as I opened the door, not even bothering to look through the peephole to see who I would be yelling at. And boy do I really wish I did look because I was met with the tall, beautiful, muscular frame of Lewis Hamilton.

“Woah honey, I told you we were going to the paddock together. We need matching outfits” Lewis said while looking at me up and down "Do you by any chance have a matching Tommy Hilfiger set?"

"No?" I said, a little nervous

"Perfect, I bought you one that matches mine so put this on" Lewis said as he handed me a bag of 4 different sets.

"Lewis, there's four sets in here. Which am I wearing?" I said I let him in my room and watched as he took a seat on my bed right were I was once peacefully sleeping.

"Wear whichever one you want and I'll match it. I didn't know which of those four you'd like so I bought them all." My heart fluttered a bit at his confession.

--------

When Lewis and I pulled up to the race and got out of the car, we walked to the entrance hand-in-hand.

Charles and Alexandra were the first people to spot us and I took notice on how Charles dropped Alexandra's hand. When I saw that I squeezed Lewis' hand and leaned into him to tell him

"Lew, it's working. He dropped Alexandra's hand" I said with a smirk on my face.

"Wanna give them a show?" I cocked my brow at what he was suggesting but reluctantly nodded my head.

Without thinking twice, Lewis pulled me into a kiss, his hand finding their place to rest on my ass while mine traveled to the back of his neck to pull him deeper into the kiss.

I heard a strings of words which I'm assuming were curse words before I heard faint shuffles of feet echoing away from where me and Lewis were stood. Faint footsteps weren't the only thing we heard because next thing you know we heard clicks of camera shutters.

I pulled away from him with a horrified look on my face.

"Lewis! My dad might see those!" I don't think I was ever more scared in my life than I was in that moment. My dad can't know that I'm sneaking behind his back with Lewis. Well technically this is the second day of this 'sneaking around' but still, he doesn't know."

"Do you want to be with me Y/N/N?" He said dead serious while interlocking our hands

"Yes"

"So you shouldn't care about the pictures and your dad's opinion. Not everyone is going to accept our relationship but that doesn't matter because this relationship is between us. Not them"

"I need FP3 and Qualifying to end ASAP because I so badly want to suck your cock."

“I’m holding you to that” Lewis said as he swatted my ass. Surely the press people got photos of that and when those get out. I’m gonna have a fun conversation with my dad

It took us about 15 minutes to get the Mercedes Hospitality area because of all the fans asking for pictures, Press asking questions and other drivers asking what Lewis thinks he’s doing going out with me.

I almost took offense to that but quickly realized that they didn’t mean it in a rude way but more as a ‘you better be careful because if you break her heart, Toto will never resign you to Mercedes’ type of way.

When we entered, we were met with the angry eyes of my father.

“Lewis.” He said stern, fingers pinching the bridge of his nose “what are you doing with my daughter?!”

“Sir,” Lewis started but my dad cut him off

“Y/N/N, I told you not to go off with the drivers!” His voice raised, not too loud to be classified as yelling but a couple octaves louder than how it was before

“Actually, you said no messing around with the younger drivers. Lewis is older and more wise” I said as I grasped Lewis’ hand tighter.

“What are your intentions with my daughter?”

“Well sir, I intend to give your daughter the best life I can give her, I want to take her everywhere with me, I want to spoil her, I want to have her move in with me, I want to be her husband and I want her to be the mother of my kids.” Lewis squeezed my hand as he said that last sentence.

I never thought about being a mother, I never felt like it was an obligation of mine. I never thought that I wanted kids but hearing Lewis admit to my dad that he wanted me to be the mother of his kids sparked something in me. Lewis made me realize that deep down, I longed to be a mom and now I wasn’t going to be happy if I wasn’t.

“I will kill you if you break her heart.” My dad stated as he stared in Lewis’ eyes as if to try and intimidate him.

When He Becomes a Hero

It’s a bonus part of THIS :)

pairing: Charles Leclerc x fem!reader

Summary: At the moment when Charles was about to be crowned world champion, he felt fear. He hated that his own fear might stop him from becoming a true hero.

word count: 2k

warning: fluff, imagine of Ferrari builds a champ car in 2026, mention of fear of failure, public proposing, Lewis feat.

notes: inspiration of this comes from an anon :) thanks a lot! Advices and thoughts are always welcomed.

“No doubt! Absolute control and absolute superiority! With every lap, Charles Leclerc has exemplified the essence of a true champion, pushing the limits of both human and machine to deliver unparalleled performances on the track. As he stands atop the podium, the world celebrates the rise of a true racing legend!”

“In a stunning display of skill and resilience, Charles Leclerc has clinched the World Drivers’ Championship for Ferrari, his unwavering dedication to the Scuderia Ferrari team has reignited the spirit of Maranello, inspiring fans around the globe with his unwavering commitment to excellence.”

“Also, thanks to Hamilton for his defenses and active performance throughout the race! He proved to the world that he is still among the contenders for the WDC. In motorsports, there’s no such thing as a prime age; as long as he still wants to win, this is his prime time!”

Everyone loves Ferrari because it’s full of topics and controversies.

Everyone loves Charles Leclerc. Because of his exquisite driving skills and unwavering determination, his face kissed by the gods, his dramatic experiences on the track, his fiery battles with Lewis, and his love life filled with pink bubbles.

As the showdown between Ferrari and Red Bull in Abu Dhabi, to decide the WDC and WCC is akin to a collision between Mars and Earth. And beyond the collision, as rumored, Charles will propose after the race, adding a melodramatic romance and a fairytale ending reminiscent of prince and princess.

The media is thrilled. It’s a surefire guarantee for attention.

The FIA is happy — soaring broadcast fees, investments bidding multiplied, and tickets that are worth their weight in gold.

They have no reason to be dissatisfied, to say it’s not perfect, or to express any inevitable regrets.

As Charles approached the main straight, gazing at the chequered flag looming almost within reach, took a few deep breaths, everything seemed so familiar to him, yet suddenly he was overcome by a strange sensation.

It’s not his first time been in the Yas Marina Circuit, not the first time saw the tumultuous mix of love and hate from the fans.

As long as he wins.

The air above Yas Marina will boil with excitement for him. Ferrari will win their long-awaited WDC and WCC titles, and he will be forever remembered as a key figure in Prancing horse‘s history. He may even unquestionably earn a Laureus Award.

No one can take it away from him, no one can say he’s undeserving. All the rumors and gossip will temporarily disappear—until his next failure.

It’s been many years since he was felt this way — uneasy, overwhelmed with thoughts, unable to clear his mind and grasp what he's truly thinking before the race.

The moment he entered the turn 21, he knew he’s made a mistake. He desperately tried to compensate, but suddenly realized that it's not the timing of his braking that was wrong, but the inner doubt he felt at that moment.

In that critical moment, he hesitated for a fraction of a second, maybe just 0.01 seconds, but it was after that 0.01 seconds that he crossed the finish line first, ending the race.

Maybe, even if he hadn’t won today, no one would blame him. He’s had 24 races this year, almost never leaving the podium. He's exceptionally talented, just really exhausted. But there’s no excuse. He’s Charles Leclerc, and winning is his only option.

The whole world will never know his moment of weakness, error, and confusion. The world still believes he’s like a hero incarnate, calm and unmovable, only seeking victory. Only he knew how anxious and fearful he felt when the pressure suddenly struck him in that moment.

After climbing out of the car, he stood by its side, letting the Ferrari fans roar his name and celebrate his uniqueness, letting the Red Bull fans silently stare and curse him for ruining another fairy tale, letting his colleagues sprint over, overwhelming him with cheers, piling on top of each other like human pyramids, celebrating by slapping each other’s backs or some part of their bodies. He seemed oblivious to it all, as if for a moment he was isolated from the world.

All he can felt is his own apprehension and disappointment.

“Is Charles okay?” You, after the initial excitement faded, suddenly sensed an unknown hint of something, giving rise to a certain doubt. “Xavi, Charles—”

Xavi couldn’t hear what she was saying at all. His cheeks were flushed with excitement, and he laughed heartily, high-fiving or shaking hands with everyone who reached out to him, sharing the joy or silently relishing in their envy, hatred, insincerity, and forced smiles.

Perhaps it was out of unwillingness to be left behind, or maybe just hoping to add to his glory, John Elkann deliberately put down someone who came to shake hands with him and bypassed Xavi, walking up to Pascale with a smile and said, “Ma’am, Signing your son may be one of Ferrari’s most wisest decision of the century.”

Pascale has experienced many sincere or insincere congratulations, praises, and flatteries from others, but even after a hundred times, the hundred and first time still made her feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. She still didn’t know how to respond. Before, she could only smile and said how great Charles was, but now she could look back at you.

Your lips moved slightly, but in the end, you temporarily suppressed your worries about Charles and smiled at Elkann, said, “Perhaps not making him an enemy of Ferrari was the wisest decision you’ve made in this century.”

The people in the garage paused for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.

At this moment, no one wanted to know if Charles had really lost his aura for a moment just now. All they needed is icing on the cake, to know that they had a hero on the field who could lead Ferrari.

And Charles is this hero, only he can play this role. Hero don't make mistakes, don’t hesitate, and never make mistakes or come close to making mistakes. They only move forward relentlessly.

At least for this second, he couldn't be a mortal.

No one noticed any difference in Charles from usual — this isn't to say they don’t care about him, but rather that although they noticed, they simply thought he was too tired to be as active as usual.

Faced such a high-level race, enduring 120 minutes of constant attack from Red Bull, if Charles returns to the garage too exhausted to say a word, too tired to even muster a smile, that would be completely acceptable.

Heroes are always treated with favor, heroes always have privileges.

Charles appeared somewhat weary as he walked out, but perhaps it was because he saw the Emir and his heir who hadn't left yet.

He leaned against the door for a moment, lips moving without saying anything, seeming ready to turn back to the driver’s room.

Some things can only be said to the closest people, let alone in front of the Emir.

Moreover, Charles was already hesitant about whether to let you know his thoughts. He approached with a strange courage, but any small obstacle — even just being touched—could immediately dispel all his impulses.

He glanced at you, who was talking to the Emir, suddenly feeling that perhaps he shouldn't tell you either.

You love stories of heroes, everyone knows that. Lewis is your hero, maybe now he is too.

The Emir noticed someone coming out behind him, glanced back, perhaps not expecting Charles to look so dispirited. But like everyone else, once he thought about the kind of battle it had been, he almost naturally let it go. He smiled at Charles and said nothing.

“Charlie,” you caught up with him a step after the Emir left, gently pulling him aside. You looked at him carefully for a moment before softly asking, “Why aren’t you happy?”

Charles hesitated for a moment, not saying anything.

You didn’t press him, just watched him.

A minute passed, feeling like a century, before Charles finally lowered his head and whispered, “I never said I wasn’t happy.”

You seemed to have something to say, but after thinking for a moment, you just squeezed Charles’s hand. “It’s okay as long as you’re happy, but if you’re not, you can tell me.”

Arthur called you loudly from the other side of the garage, wanting you to confirm something.

Seeing that Charles didn’t seem inclined to talk, you thought it would be better to go check on Arthur — but before you could take a step, Charles grabbed your hand.

“How did you know I’m not happy?” His voice remained low, with a hint of confusion. “Was it that obvious?”

But after asking that question, he denied himself. It couldn't be. He hadn't said a word, and no one else had noticed anything, so if you sensed it, it must be because you just knew.

This realization made Charles feel his heart swell for a moment.

“Yeah,” you sent your sibling to deal with Arthur, “When you came out of the car and stood there, I just knew you weren't happy — but I didn't know why.”

Charles suddenly felt both aggrieved and happy. He wanted to ask you why you didn’t know why he wasn’t happy, but he almost couldn’t resist the impulse to praise your understanding of him. In the end, amidst all the conflicting emotions, he just hugged you, resting his chin on your shoulder.

After a while, he said, “If I'm scared, will you still treat me like this?”

You froze for a moment, taking a long time to realize what it meant for him to be scared.

Charles Leclerc, at the moment of crossing the finish line, at the moment of almost perfectly embodying the hero image, was scared.

He was filled with fear that he couldn't be a true hero, and perhaps also fear that when you looked at him, it would be with an incredibly disappointed gaze.

“I’m scared too,” You said the word, but you voice was steady. “The thing I fear most in this world is seeing you unhappy, torturing yourself over a tiny mistake or someone else’s mistake. You may be a hero to others, but you need to know, you’re the love of my life, Charles. If I haven’t said it before, I’m telling you now, you are the love of my life. Legends are for others to see. I just want you to be happy and well. Do you understand what I mean?”

Charles held her for a moment, then suddenly bounded back to the driver’s room, calling out Lewis and Arthur's names loudly.

And then the door to the room was angrily kicked shut by Arthur, followed by louder noises emanating from it.

Five minutes later, when Xavi knocked on the door to call them out for celebration, they behaved as if everything was normal.

You didn’t notice that, contrary to his usual behavior, Arthur ended up at the back of the celebrating crowd. When you reached the garage exit, you habitually stopped, subconsciously intending to say a few more words to your interns. But completely caught off guard, Arthur pushed you out from behind.

A helicopter hovered above the Yas Marina Circuit, its cabin door open, showering what seemed like an endless waterfall of rose petals, as if to engulf the whole world.

Charles stood in the center of the rose storm, next to Lewis, who was smiling and holding a velvet box. And Charles opened the box, knelt down on one knee.

Inside was a teardrop-shaped green diamond ring. “Two years ago, I convinced you to give me a ring, and now it’s time for me to give you a gift other than today’s victory. You said you love my eyes the most. I’m willing to have my eyes shaped into your favorite shape and wear them on your hand, but I didn’t do that because I want to keep them to live with you. And I don’t want your fingers to be empty, so as a substitute, I found this. Now there are probably millions of people watching us. You love me so much, so you won’t refuse me and make me sad, right?”

You stood there dumbfounded, until Lewis turned to you. “Put on your ring and get your fiancé out of here! I need to get my trophy!”

[thearchercore]

As a Lando fan, but first and foremost a Max and Charles fan, I’m quite disappointed in Lando. It’s true what they say, not everyone is happy when you are on top and your real friends show their true colours.

You are right, Max says what he thinks and never filters it. While Charles is a PR King (let’s be honest he’s more of a princess but that’s besides the point) but never once has he thrown shade at Max since they became friends (at least not that I know of)

Now, Daniel is not, has never been and will never be someone about him. Nothing against him, just vibes. But the fact that Max has held him so dear and close to his heart and he goes ahead and throws major shade at Max when Max was being nothing but honest at Vegas then makes sure to hang out with Lando during Winter break the other driver who is Max’s publicly known bestie on the grid (I mean the man even attends P’s birthday parties) anyway I digress. It’s just outright shady and childish.

Max is on another level and not everyone will understand that. True friendship should withstand such challenges. Of course anyone would be jealous and intimidated by such dominance and success but to deny the man like Peter denying Jesus infront of the crowd is just sad. I mean c’mon, did he mean it as a joke? Also was Daniel attempting humour? It’s possible but I can’t see someone like Charles making such weird comments. Even when they were beefing, Charles made it known that him and Max are okay and even though they are not best friends their relationship or hang out outside the paddock (back then things are different now) he still loved racing against Max because they understood each other and how they raced.

It’s actually petty for grown men to belittle their friend because of his success. But what do I know, the sport destroyed a childhood friendship (Nico + Lewis) Maybe only the realest and toughest friendships survive. Viva Charles and Max (whether you ship them or as friends) it’s real and they are always rooting for each other.

Sorry this got long.

yeah, i feel like the difference between daniel's current place in f1 and max's is playing a significant factor. again, max joined RBR when he was essentially still a teenager that was battling with puberty. daniel was there as the mature driver that max looked up to.

now, fast forward to 2024, daniel is fighting for his last chance at f1 after many unsuccessful team moves, and max is much more mature and has 3 WDC titles under his belt. that certainly changes things.

so i'm sure that if for whatever reason rbr kicks out checo and daniel jumps in, their dynamic would be different.

lando, on the other hand, is a different story. @tsarinablogs had a great post where someone suggested "I think Lando couldnt handle his car actually being competitive. Thats what weakened their friendship. It’s easy to be friends when you are driving a slow car, but then the car actually got competitive and he still couldnt beat Max."

again, the truth is -- f1 is a highly competitive environment and everyone will fight for themselves first without a doubt. that's what's happening with daniel and lando. daniel wants that red bull seat, lando wants to beat max. and that is going to be their priority over whatever friendly relationship they may have with max.

on the other hand, there are only 20 drivers in f1 so you have 20 other co-workers who share the same experiences as you. so you will always be closer to them than anyone else because no one would get you that well.

i think what works well currently between max and charles is that no matter how much media tried to put them against each other, they alway showed mutual respect to each other. charles never talked shit about max in press, and the overall vibe they have going on recently is that charles is happy for max's success, and is working hard to gain his own. also their actions speak a lot -- like charles' putting aside ferrari's questionable qatar strategy and rushing to congratulate max on his WDC. or max running to charles to apologise for his mistake in vegas.

their relationship doesn't seem to be definined by their racing results, and their joint racing history also makes them more equal in their own eyes than other drivers.

[scuderiamint]

all of our problem can be resolved with 3 simple steps if Newey is actually joining ferrari:

1. fia gives one of red bulls seats to ferrari so the team can run 3 drivers (red bull is self imploding anyways as a team so why not)

2. have max verstappen join that third ferrari seat

3. profit

negative outcomes: none

positive outcomes:

max gets to leave before rbr self implodes and still gets a fast car to defend wdc properly

charles leclerc gets to drive a newey car and potential go for a wdc

max and charles get to go head to head in equal machinary

we get to witness the hilarity of 443316 pr content

i wont want to kms after potentially seeing max go through a repeat of lewis' 2021 to 2022 seasons :)

[herohimbowhore]

A quick rambling about Ferrari and why it exists:

Sometimes you read something and it just sticks with you forever. For me it’s these excerpts from a Business Insider article written in 2017.

Most companies come into Formula One/motorsport to sell something. Whether it is cars or an energy drink, they’re selling something. But with Ferrari, it’s always been the exact opposite. They sell because they want to compete in motorsport. Ferrari sells cars because it helps them race at the highest levels and that is at the core of the Scuderia.

While the article says that if Ferrari race electric cars one day it will not be Ferrari, I don’t think that’s the case. As long as Ferrari is able to race, to compete with the best of the best, it will be Ferrari. As long as the tifosi continue to believe in Ferrari, it will be Ferrari. Because at the end of the day, Ferrari much like Tinkerbell, needs belief to exist in the manner it has existed since Enzo Ferrari formed the Scuderia.

After years without a championship, it is the belief that drives the tifosi. It is belief in the power of Ferrari that motivates its drivers to keep fighting. It is the belief in Ferrari and their goals that has kept Charles Leclerc at the team despite all the pain and turmoil it has caused. It is belief in Ferrari’s future and leadership that most likely led Lewis Hamilton to sign with the Scuderia despite them not having won a WDC since 2007 and a WCC since 2008.

Ferrari sells cars to race, but it is only able to race despite the championship droughts because the tifosi wholeheartedly believe that one day the church bells in Maranello will ring again for a championship win.
