hearts intertwined (hamilton x sister! driver!rosberg) p11

chapter 11: slipping through my fingers all the time

warnings - mentions of crash

series masterlist

The oppressive heat hung thick in the air, a relentless sun beating down on the asphalt track. The air shimmered, distorting the vision of the drivers as they prepped for the race. Despite concerns about the extreme temperatures, the governing body had opted to greenlight the event.

Max Verstappen, ever the pragmatist, approached Y/N as she climbed into her Red Bull cockpit. "Hey schat," he said, his voice laced with concern. "You alright? You look a bit pale and sweaty."

Y/N forced a smile, beads of sweat already forming on her forehead. "Yeah, Max, just a bit warm. No worries."

Max frowned, but didn't push it. He knew Y/N's determination wouldn't be easily swayed.

The red lights went out, and the grid roared to life. Y/N fought for position, the heat sapping her strength with every passing lap. By lap 23, her voice crackled through the radio, a tremor of fear tinging her voice.

"Why the fuck is it so hot? Liam, is my drink connected? have you guys fucking filled boiling water in this or what?"

"Y/N, slow down," Liam's voice crackled back, urgency evident. "Well, that is not happening I'm fine," Y/N snapped back but her breath was erratic. Liam persisted saying, "Box this lap, we need to get you out of the car."

But Y/N's response was lost in static. "Ich verliere es! Ich verliere es! (im losing it! im losing it!)" Y/N shouted. Her vision had blurred completely, the heat and exertion pushing her body to its limit. The car swerved, a sickening lurch as she lost control. There was a deafening screech of metal on concrete, followed by a sickening impact. Flames erupted from the car as it slammed into the barriers.

Panic erupted in the pit lane. Nico, watching the race unfold from the Mercedes garage, felt the blood drain from his face. His heart hammered against his ribs as he watched the plume of smoke billow from the crash site.

"Y/N! WAS IST MIT IHR PASSIERT (WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?)" he screamed, his voice raw with terror.

The radio crackled with frantic voices. Drivers demanded updates on Y/N's condition. Daniel asked across his radio, "Was that Y/N? Why are there flames?!" Lewis, his own race forgotten, watched the flames with a growing sense of dread. "No, no no no no no no what just happened Bono?" Lewis muttered

He unbuckled his seatbelt and leaped out of his car, ignoring the shouts from his team. Adrenaline surged through him, fueled by fear and a responsibility he couldn't explain.

"Lewis, stop! It's not safe!" came the frantic voice of his engineer, Bono.

But Lewis didn't listen. "Not losing another Rosberg," he muttered through gritted teeth. "Not again." He sprinted towards the burning wreckage, the inferno a blur before his eyes. Marshals were already on the scene, but Lewis pushed through them, a single-minded determination driving him forward.

Nico watched in disbelief as Lewis, seemingly impervious to the heat and danger, reached the car. He clambered over the wreckage, smoke billowing around him.

Seconds stretched into an eternity as the teams held their breath. Finally, Lewis emerged from the flames, cradling an unconscious Y/N in his arms.

"Medical team, we need medical here!" his voice boomed through the radio.

The silence that followed was deafening, then finally, a wave of relief washed over the paddock. Medics rushed towards Lewis, carefully taking Y/N from his grasp.

Lewis collapsed onto the ground, his chest heaving with exertion. Despite the scorching heat and the adrenaline coursing through his veins, his body was shaking uncontrollably.

Nico, tears blurring his vision, stormed out of the garage. He rushed towards Lewis, his anger momentarily eclipsed by overwhelming relief.

"Y/N?" he rasped. "Is she…"

Lewis looked up, his face streaked with soot and sweat. "She's alive, Nico. That's all that matters right now."

Nico slumped beside him, the weight of the near-tragedy pressing down on him. He looked at Lewis, a flicker of understanding passing between them. Both of them slid down against the garage walls, their hearts beating fast and minds racing.

They may not have been friends, but in that shared moment of terror, a fragile bridge of empathy was built. The heat of the inferno may have been unbearable, but it paled in comparison to the fear that had gripped the hearts of everyone in the paddock.

Interesting comment by a Redditor under this post on r/formula1:

Haven't seen the list, but we all know the "random" part of "randomly selected" doesn't mean they draw numbers out of a hat. They very purposely pick the cars they will inspect...

THIS IS NOT OK. I don't care if max retired or carlos won I don't care about anything if safety is not being taken care of. The FIA has apparently deemed everything more important than listening to the drivers and about their safety. First Qatar which had the drivers almost passing out and puking because of the heat then this. George was literally screaming for a red flag , his car was half flipped over god forbid that a driver didn't get the message of the crash quick enough and couldn't get his car out of the way. He was lying with his car half flipped in the side of the road screaming at the fia to get a red flag and they did nothing. The FIA has put safety as their last concern too many times and are incompetent at this point we've had two loose drain covers in less than 6months for fucks sake. SAFETY SHOULD BE FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE.

[eirianerisdar]

As a doctor I am incensed at how blasé the FIA have been about the drain/valve cover situation

Max just said in a dutch interview that Carlos apparently couldn't feel his legs for a few seconds after impact. Which is INSANE from a medical point of view - as a medical professional if I were driving that car I would have insisted on getting winched out and put on a backboard and wouldn't have moved until I got an x-ray

While Carlos is okay now, driving well and he hasn't obviously been in pain, I'm APPALLED at how close we came to a driver being paralysed or worse.

This should be all over the news. Not because of penalties or fans being kicked out (though worthy issues to be talked about in their own right) but the fact we came SO CLOSE to a permanent or life-threatening injury.

The valve cover broke his seat. You could see the floor through the cockpit. If Carlos hadn't lifted on the straight because of the yellow he could have lost both legs, been paralysed, or outright killed.

This isn't a "we fixed it by filling in the holes with concrete" issue. This is a "we need to have better regulations to screen all street circuits" issue, or in a few years we'll have a seriously injured or dead driver on our hands.

[marhadalittlelamb]

so to recap:

- Esteban threw up mid race

- Logan was so sick he had to retire

- Alex could barely get out of his car

-Lance could barely get out of his car and had to go to the ambulance

- Max and Oscar could barely stand up

- Fernando’s seat was way too hot

- George thought he was about to faint

- other drivers had to get medical attention

surely the Qatar gp can’t be allowed to stay on the calendar for another 10 years, where are the FIA???

Greetings, great champion called by grace. I am Fia...

[lewisinho]

what i find genuinely disturbing, regardless of any, even perceived conflict of interest in this case, is the sheer lack of due diligence carried out by the fia; for an organisation whose reputation and integrity have already been severely undermined over the past years, the fact that they even engage with allegations and rumours spread by a publication that has absolutely no credibility whatsoever and has been sued for libel in the past is incredibly concerning; moreover, for them to decide that the best course of action is to go public immediately with these allegations without having informed any of the parties involved (fom, susie, toto), nor having verified these allegations beforehand is both embarrassing and frightening

[petit-papillion]

F1 maximum fines have increased from €250,000 to one million euros...

Why not a percentage of the drivers' annual salary to keep it fair?

[powerofhats]

The fact that FIA quickly put out statements and new rules when a random journal decided that Susie was sharing information or when driver walks across a track but it's doing absolutely nothing about the RB case it's disgusting . Horner isn't a random worker in F1 , drivers and TPs are the public face of the sport and a serious organisation would have stepped to make him resign or at least temporarily substitute but I'm sure that the FIA president don't see anything wrong in what he did.

one day the fia will replace ALL the classic circuits with dumbass street circuits and max verstappen will leave the sport in disgust and move to the wec and eventually win the triple crown of motorsport and i’ll be out the door right after him 😌

(meanwhile charles leclerc and fernando alonso will still be in f1 chasing their 1st and 3rd wdcs)
