Hi everyone!
It’s me Blue - I’m the admin, just wanted to remind everyone that we do not tolerate any sort of hater in this community. Yes, I know everyone has different opinions and we all have our favourite drivers and teams but do not force others to have the same mindset as you.
Additionally, please do not engage in convos that don’t interest you - okay? I had to ban too many people this week because of the whole conspiracy post about Lestappen and Brocedes. You don’t have anything nice to say? Don’t say it.
Another small plea, tag your works with correct tags, okay? We all like the fics you guys post but add a tag with which parring is the endgame (that one is from me sns 😂).
-Blue

guys, help me out please! I’m new to all of this and I just saw those two ship names (??) What’s that about and why were there bans?

well, who’s gonna tell the kid? 😂👀
➡️kentucky fried brain
sit down kid, we gonna have a talk.
So basically, Brocedes is a ship name that started around 2013, I think? Some fans did post with the tag back then? It involves Nico Rosberg, our Britney, and Lewis Hamilton. They were teammates for three years and looked pretty cosy if you get it. So, fans started the ship. But back then the rivalry was different and more fierce and so there were problems. Both Nico and Lewis wanted the Championship and they started to fight. Then in 2014, Nico married his now wife and they had another fallout. Some say that Lewis rejected Nico at the beginning and then suddenly wanted him back, but those are like old theories (here’s the link to Maggie’s post from 2015 she covered it all pretty good)
➡️insufferable destiny’s child
Maggie’s post really covered Brocedes well, although I have to fix some things kentucky wrote. The fallout was between 2015-16 I think, they did act ‘normal’ with each other in 2014-15. Also, it’s important to note that they met when they were young so it was an old relationship. Now as for Lestappen, I don’t want to go into that rabbit hole. Always thought Charles was more friendly with Lando or Pierre or Carlos. True, he and Max are technically childhood rivals turned friends but I don’t see anything else there. Plus, I adore Alexandra and if they’d do something to her, I’d be angry and kidnap Leo and her

honestly destiny’s child? same, about Alexandra I mean. Of course, ships are ours and we technically create them but the chances of them actually being real are so close to zero that even Antarctica feels warmer 😂😂

nothing worse that reading a fanfic and missing a tag

guys!!!
Mercedes just dropped a promo video! OMG George is getting a rookie!!!!! He’s so squishy imma die
January 2025, pre season testing
The air in the factory smelled like ozone. It always did but George could never actually get used to it. People were quick-walking to different halls, interns were scrambling around with iPads or notebooks full of delicate data. It seemed surreal for people from the outside how much actual work it took for them to start each year.
Toto’s office was overlooking the track and was almost sterile. At first, George thought that the man would maybe have some pictures of Suzie and Jack or family or drivers but there was nothing.
“There you are,” The Austrian principle stood and rounded the desk, grabbing George’s hand in a strong grip. “We were waiting to officially introduce you two. Adrea, this is George,” the teenager was bouncing up in milliseconds, eyes wide. “George, meet your second driver and junior, Andrea.”
“Kimi,” The boy said shyly.
George could feel two sets of eyes on him. One was calculating, waiting for him to react. The other was soft and unsure, the eyes of a child waiting for approval.
He softened his smile and shook the boy’s hand.
“Kimi, after the Iceman?” George asked curiously.
“Well, he was good,” Kimi mumbled and looked at George with huge brown eyes.
The Brit nodded and sat on the chair next to the young Italian. Toto sat opposite from them behind his desk, elbows on the wood and hands interlocked.
“We have a lot to discuss and even more to work on. The new cars are ready for you, we will do some of the tests today, the rest we leave for the week. We need a social media cover for you two so you’ll meet Gwen for some videos and photos.”
Nothing unusual for now then, George thought.
“And after that we’re having a meeting. All of us, every team, every driver, every principle. Apparently FIA came up with some amazing engagement and development idea and we all need to hear about it.”
“Huh, any leaks?” George asked, a gleam in his eyes.
Toto shook his head.
“Not this time. Apparently it’s top secret and only one branch knows about it. Must be serious or seriously stupid,” The Austrian muttered, eyes switching to his open laptop. He frowned and quickly typed something. “Go to Marcus, he’ll deal with you where he wants you.”
And that was the signal George was waiting for. He grabbed the kid’s arm and practically dragged him to the testing offices. Seating calibration was probably first so he turned to the right hall and walked in.
“Well, hello ladies and other ladies,”
Marcus simply raised his hand and showed him the finger, not looking away from the papers in front of him. Some others greeted him back. Two bolides were in the middle of the massive hall, cables and computers hooked to them. After all this time, George simply sat down next to a stack of testing tires and looked up to see Kimi watching everything with judgement.
He blinked surprised and once he looked at Kimi again he saw that the kid was turning his head around, taking everything in with wide surprised eyes. Must have been the light, he thought and stretched his legs before him.
“Hi George,” Rick walked over and handed him a form to fill for suits. “Heard about the…y’know. You and Car, sorry to hear mate.”
He needed to prepare for it. The breakup was a prolonged necessity, since both him and Carmen were not really in the relationship 100%. Both were passing each other in their shared apartments, sometimes weeks if not months. They were trying to find more time but in the end it was unfair for both of them to hold each other back. If they didn’t have occupations that kept them away for most part of the year it could have worked. But unfortunately it was not something George could expect from her nor something Carmen could expect from him.
“Yeah, thanks. No hard feelings between us though, we’re good and didn’t break up but rather separated. So it’s all okay, I’m seeing her next week for lunch,” he said slowly, watching the other for his reaction; the slight surprise in his eyes didn’t disappoint. “Seriously, it’s all good.”
Kimi was sitting and watching the exchange silently.
“Andrea, right?” Marcus looked at the teenager with curious eyes.
“Kimi,” both Kimi and George said; the older looking a little apologetic as he looked at his teammate but Kimi just beamed at him.
“Okaay,” Marcus’ eyes shifted between them with questions in his eyes. “Kimi, well kiddo, let’s get your measurements and send it to the factory - then both will sit for a while in the bolide so we can calibrate the seat or make any changes. George,” he turned to the Brit. “We applied the changes you wanted, all should be good. So kid, come with me and you fill the paper and give it to Mark.”
Max was glaring at everyone from the second he stepped out of his car. His ears were ringing with screams and accusations from home, eyes red from the sleepless night he spent on the sim. He knew that the season wasn’t going to be the best, Christian gone meant that someone new had to step into his shoes and he was French. The hate Max had for all French people was given to him by his father and a little by the experiences he had with Charles during previous seasons. They decided to go on trips around Europe, short breaks when possible and once they were in France Max sometimes wished they didn’t go at all.
He grabbed a drink from the fridge in their shared kitchen but then paused and sighed putting it back quickly. Instead he steered towards the coffee station and grabbed a cup of black coffee. He frowned and opened the fridge finding way too many options of milk.
“How the fuck do you milk a coconut?” He muttered to himself and grabbed the first ‘normal’ milk he could see.
“Max?”
GP walked into the kitchen and stopped seeing the driver slumped at the square table in the corner. Two of Yuki’s engineers were standing a little from him, watching him with worry. The Frenchman sighed and walked over to them.
“How long is he here?”
Danny shrugged and looked at his watch, “We came here around 9 and it’s almost half to ten. But he was sleeping already.”
GP nodded and walked to the small table. Max’s phone was face up and lighting up, message after message appearing on the screen. Kelly. And the messages were cold at best.
“Damn kid, what now,” the older man muttered and with resignation shook the Dutchman lightly. “Max? Kid, we need you for testing. Laurent is declaring another revolution if we won’t start before 10.”
“Fuck ‘im,” Max mumbled but raised his head and rubbed his eyes. Just then GP noticed a cup of probably cold coffee next to him. He turned around and replaced the cold one with a hot one.
Danny and Jacob nodded at him as he practically steered Max to the testing hall.
Laurent was waving his hands around and yelling something that no one could understand when they walked in. Max nodded to some people who greeted him and then plopped on the couch where GP sat him. The engineer then walked over to the principle and said something to him, making the Frenchman turn so quickly some people heard a crunch in his neck.
“Ah, Maxime!”
Hell. Max was in hell.
