it will not Fix You but like. maybe. maybe.
Just gonna put this here...
"Oh, you're a lecfosi because you're attracted to Charles."
No, actually. It's because he's one of the best drivers on the grid. His talent, speed, and racing skill speak for themselves. Plus this
the thing about charles leclerc is his hunger runs deep and i think that’s the place where sainz has never been able to match him
because objectively sainz is a pretty good driver but it’s like he views his drives as a separate entity, an accomplishment to be won where charles is his drive, he views them as an extension of himself
it’s why sainz so often after races will be placated with a p2, p3, p4, even p5 but even on a day when charles made up 16 places to go from the back of the grid to the podium he won’t be happy
i think their behavior after the race exemplifies this because while carlos immediately turned to congratulate mclaren, you could see charles was mourning something. and it’s not as if he was displaying bad sportsmanship, when they were in the cooldown room and on the podium he congratulated zak and lando, but those moments right after the race you could see he wasn’t even thinking about himself, or his own race, but what the team had lost
in the end, carlos sainz is a driver for ferrari while charles leclerc is a ferrari driver
On Friday, Charles was photographed and appeared in several pieces of video content before FP1 of the Qatar Grand Prix. His neck was free of any markings at this time, and he was playing the PR game as usual, though his murderous rage still burned deep within from Las Vegas. Notably, his girlfriend Alex is NOT present in Qatar for this race.
On Saturday, Max Verstappen is hit with an asinine penalty after qualifying on Pole, dropping him to P2 for Sunday's race. He is filled with rage and yearns to fistfight the FIA Stews and George "YabaDabaDon't" Russell late into the night. We can only assume he instead took this rage to his long-time "rival" Charles Leclerc, and they fucked nasty about it.
Fast forward to Sunday, Race Day, Max is late to the Driver's Parade holding room and says he was busy "being silly in his Driver's Room". Charles is also notably delayed in arriving at the staging area. A small developing hickey is quickly noticed on Charles's neck...
Max pulls out an AMAZING win in his shit car and his enemies all experience astronomical levels of karma during the race. Charles pulls out a P2 getting us the best Lestappen podium of our dreams with Oscar getting to third wheel.
At the FIA post-race press conference, a small hickey is still noticeable on Charles's neck while he is giggling and yapping with Max...
Lestappen is so Lestappening. 2024 you are iconic.
alice who we shipping charles with if max retires after this gp?
I’d like to quote my dear friend @omegalerc:
But if you’re referring to week to week content, lewis x Charles will take off if their dynamic is compelling enough. Also keep an eye on oscar. He’s not a worthy replacement for max yet but he’ll get there once he finds that dawg in him
At the company retreat, one extremely drunk girl asked what my pronouns were. (Eventually, it took her a while to word the question.) After the whole conversation was done, she goes- "YEAHHH GURL, Get on with--with THY bad self! See what I did?? They/them/thy."
I was almost holding back tears from trying not to laugh as I told her yes that's great you nailed it honey. Thank you very much I am feeling the love.
Anyway I've been assigned Thee/Thine at Supportive Drunk Girl
race day (ferrari) mood board
THE DUTCH DRIVER WILL RETAIN HIS CROWN! MAX VERSTAPPEN IS A FOUR-TIME FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPION!
alt version + bonus yapping under the cut
this was an absolute beast to put together! i had a feeling i was gonna wanna draw something for max's 4th title but honestly didn't think about it until i was already there in vegas watching the race and basically rushed home to start working on this immediately
sooooo happy i was able to witness his 4th championship in person, definitely not gonna forget that anytime soon!!!!!!!!!
anyways fun easter egg is that i drew max's helmets for each year from clubs -> spades ascending from 2021-2024!! pain in the ass for real but the details were important to me so i chose to suffer
hope u guys enjoy!
