Watch Me (Lando Norris/Oscar Piastri, 5.4k words)
It's half seven, and just like nearly every other day since he's moved in, his neighbor is in his bathroom – poorly concealed by the frosted glass window that's not nearly as frosted as it should be. He's standing on his toes, bending over his sink to get closer to the mirror, clad in next to nothing but short, black briefs. His eyes roam higher, heartrate spiking when he sees it, just like every other time he's seen it: Oscar's neighbor, a seemingly unmated omega, wears his collar. At home. Alone. When he's wearing next to nothing else.

help me hold onto you | T | 4/12
f1driver!max and streamer!charles
The man– Charles, Max assumes– sounds French. He loves that. He should be used to a French accent, he was forced to converse with Pierre often enough, but it sounds different coming from Charles. More melodic. Almost similar to someone he used to know once. “And that made me think,” Charles says, voice bellowing from Max’s speakers. “That it was stupid that we didn't have carrots before. Like, come on, it's a farming game.” Max has no fucking idea what the hell he is on about.
or: Max is lonely and finds Charles streaming on Twitch.

Baby Logan toddling around the paddock
Tumblr media
❤️❤️❤️❤️ this is adorable!!!!!
You absolutely get it!!! He’d be so cute just toddling about the paddock and charming everyone he comes across.
This gets gifted to Alex and George by a family member and Logan loves it because it’s soft and warm. His parents love it because he looks absolutely adorable in it. They dress him up on media day and the media has a field day taking photos of the family.
Logan, who had already charmed the Williams team, finds himself on the receiving end of even more attention. Williams social media has him on half the photos for that weekend. Photos of James holding him and showing him things on the screen. Photos of him in the car and you can see the ears poke out.
George takes him to Mercedes to sit in his car and take photos. The staff there find him absolutely adorable and gather to take photos with him. They also give him all the cookies he wants which is a problem since he eats too many sweets already. Toto lets him sit in his chair and pretend to be team principle and Logan bangs the headset against the table because he’s seen videos of Toto doing it before.
In the time in between media duties, Alex and George take him to walk around the paddock since it isn’t a crowded by attendees. Logan is of course walking ahead and his little ears are flapping back and forth. Some people coo and others wave and give him treats. Overall, he is the absolute darling of the paddock.
The drivers also spoil him as well. Max finds Logan’s outfit hilarious and Charles adores it and takes a thousand photos. Lance spoils him with candies and sweets until Logan is walking around the paddock with chocolate on his face and a cookie in each hand.
Lando and Carlos finds the outfit amazing and start looking for a Koala one. Oscar also loves it since it’s so soft, especially when he hugs Logan.
At the end of the day, Logan is in almost all of Williams media photos for the day. He goes home knocked out in Alex’s arm, exhausted from the attention and the sugar high.
Thank you so much for sending me this ask! I hope I did it justice. It’s so adorable ❤️❤️❤️

honey, take my picture - sebastian vettel x reader
A/N: Hi! Making shaky steps back into the world of F1 RPF for the first time in a few years! Hope you enjoy and requests are open!
you're a photographer who is brought in by the aston martin team to chronicle their first season with sebastian vettel
you know a bit about f1 and are aware of who he is, of course
you go to the first race in bahrain and are introduced to the whole team
and finally you meet seb
and he's completely charming, of course
you can't help have a bit of a crush on him, but you know you have to be professional and objective
and so you power through it and take some of the best photographs of your life that weekend
they start to appear on AM's social media and everyone is praising you
the photos are even brought up in an interview with seb at the portuguese grand prix
where he says "y/n is an incredibly talented photographer and artist, she definitely makes me look my best"
you're super flattered by it but also don't think anything of it
despite your ongoing crush on seb
you can't tell if you're imagining things
but seb's always close to you during race briefings and team meetings
he always seems to be sitting next to you
or he's near you
he's happy to pose for hundreds of photos for you and nobody else
when he makes the podium at azerbaijan you're over the moon for him
you've got your camera out snapping away during the celebrations at the podium and in the garage
eventually, you're dragged out celebrating with everyone
and you find yourself in the quietest corner of the bar with seb
"not really your scene either?"
"i've seen pictures from your red bull days, seb, i know you can party with the best of them"
"i've grown up a lot since then. wanna get out of here?"
"sure"
you and seb wander back towards the hotel you're both staying in, through the lamplit streets of baku
you stop and look over the caspian sea, the lights of the skyscrapers glittering
you turn to look at seb and find he's looking at you
and then he's kissing you
slowly and gently and nervously
you respond after a second and kiss him back
arms around his neck
"i think i know what the real prize was today" he murmurs between kisses
the two of you eventually make it back to the hotel
and you wake up next to him in his room the next morning, happier than you've ever been before

📚 10 f1 fics i've loved lately 🏎️
been thinking a lot about how to organise fic recs into some sort of sensible post, 'cus there are so many (great!) pairings and (delicious!) driver combinations, not to mention so many varying styles of fic and SUPER TALENTED WRITERS!!111!!
just gonna list a bunch in no particular order, with accompanying pics, so you can get a sense of the vibes.
'cus what is f1 rpf but all about the ✨ vibes?! 🏁
p.s. people are in this community making amazing stuff for freeee!! if you liked these please leave a kudos or a comment, it makes a writer's day 🫡 
let's gooooo--
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
objects in the mirror by linearity (@drivestraight) charles/max. 87k words (series), rated t then e
listen. LISTEN! charles to rbr is one of the best premises ever and i will read it in like a thousand iterations. but this fic. this fic series in particular cleared my skin, made me want to cut my hair into a bob out of sheer emotion. i would be remiss not to start with this one because its impact on my f1 rpf trajectory should be studied by science. you know when a story just jumps off the page and it's so real that it becomes your canon. a kind of meteoric inevitability. plus, i almost never cry at fics. but by the time the third act of this one hit, i just went -- damn, am i rly about to tear up at a f1 rpf fanfiction rn? (yes.)
-----------------------
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
sawtooth by nottonyharrison (@nottonyharrison) charles/max. 40k words, rated e
max as a f1 engineer? for CARLOS at FERRARI? sign me the fuckkk up. first off, awesome premise. there's always going to be something so heartwrenching about "what ifs", especially in any universe where max isn't a racer. despite the change of circumstances, just... the sheer poetry of two characters who just inexplicably find their way to each other in any universe... 🤧 also this story nails racing scenes in a way that's so visceral, i feel like a fly on the damn halo with them. and, aside from the gourmet lestappen, carlos's whole thing in this fic is joyous! spicy! he's so unapologetic and vaguely annoying! hilarious! + the swimming pool scene lives rent-free in my head.
-----------------------
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
salt skin by peachbellini (@strawberry-daiquiris) oscar/lando. 12k words, rated e
this fic is magic. literally and figuratively. (MERMAID LANDO???? MERMAID LANDO.) the kind of story that makes you gasp and melt a little bit. and made me want to throw my phone at the writer, 'cause it's really that good. the yearning, the metaphor for all that's monstrous, a boy who is lost (and the boy who he finds, is equally so). this is just beautifully written and a little quirky and so well executed. i think i put it in my bookmarks as "what if lando was a mermaid and it was filmed by a24" or something. pearl of a story.
-----------------------
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
hockey!! shrimp colors :) by leafmeal0ne (@ocontraire) oscar/lando. 13k words, rated t
leaf meal one. i have only known you a week but if anything were to happen to you i would wreck everyone in the room including myself. in all seriousness, anything that leaf writes is brilliant. they're one of these writers who could do a throwaway line on the label of a ketchup bottle and i will probably scream about it. the precision, the way they switch up sentence structures, the freaking darcy-level regency yearning transposed onto a contemporary sports setting. i'd rec all of leaf's sports AUs and i'll probably talk about more in a future fic rec post. BUT. the hockeyyy one my GOD. the barely restrained violence, their mutual desire, the theme of finding your place... *wails uncontrollably*
-----------------------
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
you almost unearthly thing by anonymous max/daniel, 3.7k words, rated g
max is a governess(govern..lad?) and daniel is the mystery man at the manor. this was a response to a request i made in the kinkmeme! (if you haven't read those fics go check 'em out, there are so many great ones, and not necessarily all rated e). this is a criminally underrated little story that has my favourite repressed feelings + people dancing around each other + gothic vibes + "what the hell is wrong with y'all in this tale" combo that i really adore. it's really well written and captures the atmosphere so well.
-----------------------
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the so-called narrative by antimonyandthyme (@antimonyandthyme) oscar/carlos, 10k words, rated e
i'm once again asking why there are only 7 carlos/oscar works in the tag. I'M ONCE AGAIN ASKING-- *is sedated*. *jolts awake* okay but for real this is a great story. hot, fake-friendship-to-situationship which so happens is one of my favourite places to be. also hello miscommunication/they're so weird about it/they both want each other but can't express themselves for shit/insane racer boys energy.
-----------------------
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and silver, and samarium by pink_mink (@on-softs) george/toto, 5.2k words, rated e
i profess i am not usually the biggest fan of A/B/O (altho!! this fandom has made me go BUT ACTUALLY HM at least a few times). and this fic freaking nails it, along with the twisted power dynamics between TPs and drivers, as seen through the lens of omegaverse. this story rattles around my head like a stubborn ghoul just from the style and prose and sheer audacity alone. george kneeling at toto's knees while he's working..... ohhhhhhhhh i was this close to calling my lawyers.
-----------------------
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
algorithm by anney (@badboy-george) charles/max, 16k words, rated e
i LOVE, LOOOOVE a sci fi concept alright. love that shit, will inhale it like moon dust with zero regrets. and what a fantastic one this one is!! the premise is that the FIA can now statistically show the compatibility of drivers on the grid and it's very pacific rim-y drift compatible, mixed with the surreal vibes of eternal sunshine or HER or some such. it should be outrageous, but it really works. that's the beauty of a great fic right there.
-----------------------
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
trajectory of trojan asteroids by redpaint (@redpaint) nico/lewis, 3.3k words, rated g
also one of the fics i first read when i hopped on board the f1 rpf train. the pain and poignancy just gets worse the more i learn about brocedes. you know when you're like "there's no way this was reallll" and then you're like "fuck, it was so real". then you get a fic like this that just encapsulates all that rage and loss and grief and upset, set against the starry vista of endless space. *clutches tablecloth* god.
-----------------------
p.s please bear in mind that these recs are entirely subjective! i enjoy loads of f1 stories but these are the ones that have especially stuck with me for some inexplicable reason.
p.p.s if your fic is on here and you want it taken off for whatever reason, i'm happy to, no questions asked 💛
BYE for now / until part 2. (i also love talking to ppl about fics so pls feel free to send an ask or hit me up in DMs or whatever.)
xoxo, -- wizz

F1 FANFICS REC LIST - Kid Fic (no Mpreg)
Tumblr media
(Am I Ready) To Be Loved? (25098 words) by Roger_That_Sarge Rating: General Audiences Relationships: Lando Norris/Daniel Ricciardo Summary: Daniel thinks his new teammate hates him, but what he doesn't realise is that Lando has a reason for never staying late at the facorty or going for drinks with him. He just never expected that reason to be a tiny, sassy, three year old daughter who could light up a room. Lando thinks it hilarious that Daniel believed he hated him, but when he starts to spend more time with him, he wonders if he's ready to let someone else into his and his daughters life after all this time.
oOoOoOo
Where you go, I go (5457 words) by landoscar Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Lando Norris/Oscar Piastri Summary: “Talia, sweetheart, you’ve got to come with me to work, okay?” Lando’s voice held a gentle tone as he reached up, sweeping her hair away from her face. “Why I go to daddy’s work?” Talia mumbled, her words slightly hindered by the bright pink dummy in her mouth. “Because daddy has to work! Auntie Ria can’t play with you today, so we’re going to go play at work!” Lando gave her a radiant smile, to which she returned instantly. “Take your dummy out, sweetie.” Talia popped the dummy out of her mouth with enthusiasm. “Is papa racing?” Her eyes lit up with joy. “I wanna watch papa race!” OR In which, Lando and Oscar are the fathers to a little girl named Talia Piastri-Norris.
oOoOoOo
love you with the lights on (28507 words) by nyoomfruits Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Lando Norris/Oscar Piastri Summary: “I texted him,” Lando says. “He can’t have forgotten about me, I texted him, and he never texted back.” Max shrugs. “Maybe he didn’t know what to say. After all, how do you tell your fuck buddy that you’ve accidentally gone out and acquired a baby?”
oOoOoOo
I feel everything tonight with you (6358 words) by sadcornyfuck Rating: Explicit Relationships: Lando Norris/Carlos Sainz Jr Summary: “So, she says something about a Spanish Stallion. You would like to ride one, yes?” ~ Carlos and Lando meet in a supermarket, Lando's kid is there to be the only wingman he'll ever need.
oOoOoOo
summer sun after the rain (11769 words) by gentleau Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen Summary: “Papà? Is Max your friend?” “He used to be.”
oOoOoOo
you and me till the end of time (28293 words) by alltimecharlo Rating: General Audiences Relationships: Alexander Albon/George Russell Summary: The one where George has a four-year-old daughter and Alex is her preschool teacher.
oOoOoOo
you'll be alright (19269 words) by nyoomfruits Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Charles Leclerc/Max Verstappen Summary: Charles is not an idiot. He knows there’s a part of him that has been at least a little bit in love with Max for as long as they’ve known each other. But he’s always been able to shove it down. Burying it under rivalries and competitiveness until it was getting hard to differentiate between love and hate. And that had worked, for a really long time. And then Max had to go and barge into his life and be really fucking cute with his baby.
oOoOoOo
don’t want you to be a stranger ( i just wanna call you my own. ) (9007 words) by leclerclovebot Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Lando Norris/Carlos Sainz Jr Summary: “I don’t know why I’m panicking,” Lando says, throwing his hands up into the air. Carlos just laughs, tossing his head back onto the couch. He’s tan—well, tanner than usual. The time spent in the Austin and Maranello sun has done him well…Not that Lando normally thinks about Carlos’ tan level.  “I do not know why either. We are going to be fine, why would they say anything bad about Finch?”  And Carlos has a point.  Finch is a golden child. He is clingy and he is attentive. He never strays five feet from Lando unless he has to, like at school or when he’s sleeping.  or, the five times that carlos and lando co-parented on accident, and the one time they finally realized.

Someone in Seattle (Lando Norris/Oscar Piastri, 11.6k words, oneshot)
“Could I, like… would you be my model for it? Maybe?” “That’s what the coffee was for then?” “No, that was, uh.” He can feel his face heating up, skin undeniably turning a deeper shade of red under Lando’s gaze – mirthful and a little something else. “That was different.” “Gonna say what?” “No.”
READ HERE!
Started this ages ago when I was sick, finally got around to forcing it to completion. To quote myself in discord: I'm going to pry this fic from my cold dead hands.
Answering the age old question: Fellas, is it gay to fall in love with your muse?

max verstappen/charles leclerc, 5.6k, rated e
“What is it?” Max asks, not looking up from his desk. “Do you have the file I asked for?” “No,” Charles replies, and watches with grim satisfaction as Max’s head jerks up. “I have brought dinner, though. I hope this is better than a file.” “Charles?” Max says, sounding baffled. “What are you doing here?” He’s smiling though, so Charles thinks it’s safe to assume that his visit isn’t entirely unwelcome. “I texted you,” Charles says, letting the door swing shut behind him, heading towards Max’s desk. “Thirteen times, actually.” Max keeps working late. Charles decides to pay his boyfriend a late-night visit.

Just Vibing
Charles Leclerc hates his boyfriend. Cannot stand him. He has no idea how he let his boyfriend talk him into this– technically, it had been Charles’ idea, but Max had been the one to actually start to execute it– semantics weren’t important right now. What was important was the fact Charles was on the couch during this press conference fighting for his life and his boyfriend was sitting on the other end, staring at him with a shit eating grin while he tortured Charles.
Or; the one where Charles and Max experiment with remote controlled vibrators.

history of man
Or Brocedes in 3 parts
Part I: Before
Nico is not jealous that Lewis is a championship contender in his first season in F1. Lewis has always had to work hard for the things that Nico has with ease: recognition, support, community. Racing might have been in Nico’s blood but Lewis bled for racing and all he could feel for his best friend was proud.
Anyway, he was busy, too. Working with Williams, trying to build the historic team back up to its former glory, while also trying to prove that he’s a serious racer worthy of a championship car and not just riding the coattails of his father’s success in the sport.
Then Lewis wins a championship. It is the greatest moment of Nico’s life, probably third only to his own future championship or his wedding day. Lewis seems to have everything he wants at McLaren and Nico would have considered going with him there, being teammates like they always planner, if McLaren had wanted anything to do with him.
Instead, he is offered a deal at Mercedes, a team that people don’t think is going anywhere, but if they’re good enough for Micheal Schumacher then of course they are good enough for him. Playing second fiddle to a championship winner isn’t as hard as it sounds. If Lewis could do it, so could Nico, even if he didn’t get nearly as much recognition for it.
Though neither of them are getting much attention at the moment, what with Red Bull and Vettel totally dominating. Nico thinks Lewis is more upset about it than he is, having to listen to more than a few rants on the subject. He tries to be supportive, but it’s hard when Nico is so happy. He’s a racer in Formula 1 with his best friend, competing against certifiably the greatest F1 driver of all time. The only thing that could make it better is if he was competing against Lewis or for a championship. Or competing against Lewis for a championship.
That really would be the dream.
But Lewis loves McLaren, and even if they aren’t in fighting shape right now, that doesn’t mean they won’t be soon. And even if Lewis was considering leaving, he wouldn’t come to Mercedes of all places. He’d probably go to Ferrari as long as Fernando wasn’t there.
Nico uses all these reasons and more to keep himself from getting his hopes up when Micheal announces his retirement. When Lewis admits to him his frustration with McLaren. When Toto tells him that he’s been in talks with someone he “thinks you’d get along great with, Nico.”
He continues to rationalize it all the way up to when Lewis shows up at his apartment, using his key and announcing his presence with a loud “Rosberg!” and the sudden brute force of someone colliding with him.
“Oof.” Nico flops back into the couch, halfway up from where he’d tried to get up to greet Lewis. He pushes at the other boy, feeling like they were 12 again, wrestling in their hotel rooms.
“What you big bully?”
Lewis pulls back and grins, shark-like with a kind of kiddy glee.
“I’m coming to Mercedes.”
Part II: During
“I’m coming to Mercedes.”
A pause. Then, “Well, obviously, I’ve only been convincing Toto to sign you for the last year.”
George fully expects the pillow aimed at his head and dodges deftly. He and Alex are both grinning like fools, and George can see all his plans for the future start to unspool.
Lewis wins his 8th championship with Ferrari that first year, a feat only the man himself could have predicted. George is having too much fun getting paid to bully his best friend.
Next year though. Next year.
“This is a championship winning car, mate,” Alex says after the first day of testing. “I can feel it. Can you feel it?”
George swallows, the memory of how responsive the car had been that morning. Like writing a sonnet with a steering wheel.
“Yeah. I can feel it.”
It was a championship winning car. It won both championships that year, the Mercedes driver pairing ending up 1st and 2nd again after a long time. It was his first championship, and he deserved it, working so hard to prove himself out from under a world champion’s shadow.
George was so damn proud of him.
Watching Alex on the top step was like a dream, draped in the red-white-blue of his flag, doused in champagne and breathing heavy, as if he’d been holding his breath since the end of testing. Sure, it stung a little losing his own chance at a championship, but he’d put up a hell of a fight and he would again next year. George had no doubt that in 2027, he’d be the world driver’s champion.
Alex turned to him from the too step, wide smile and something devilish in his eye.
“Let’s do this again next year, George,” he said, somehow agreeing with everything George himself had been thinking. George grinned in return and could only shout an affirmative.
And they did do it again next year. Two championships, one-two, podium steps and drenched in champagne.
George looking up. Again.
Alex was a terrific driver. George knew it because he’d been there while Alex learned how to do it. How to win. George knew how hard Alex was to beat because he’d watched him climb further and further away from second place.
Maybe that’s why it was always going to end up this way. Alex had made himself unbeatable and only George was there to see all of it. That’s why it only could have been him that saw the chink in the armor of Alex’s driving.
George had won. He was on the top step. He was the 2028 world driver’s champion.
And Alex wouldn’t look at him. Wouldn’t give him the big smile that use to come so easily to his face. When did Alex stop smiling? When did Alex stop smiling at him?
George had barely eaten the entire week leading up to Abu Dhabi. That didn’t stop him from spending hours emptying his stomach at the memory of Alex’s clenched jaw and shunted eyes.
That’s why-
“I’m retiring.”
Part III: After
“I’m retiring.”
The flash of the camera hurt his eyes. You’d think by 2034 they’d have made cameras that weren’t so earth shatteringly bright.
It wasn’t a decision Logan had made lightly. He was the first American WDC since Andretti, he had the chance to be the only repeat American winner. Except there wasn’t really a chance. This season had taken everything Logan had and he’d still just barely been able to beat out Oscar. He couldn’t do it again and he didn’t want to try.
It wouldn’t get him his best friend back.
The story was old hat by now. The Mercedes curse. You’d think after Alex and George Toto would stop hiring childhood best friends as teammates. But the opportunity to sign the current WDC Oscar Piastri had been too good to pass up. He had three under his belt, now, definitely more after this, since he wouldn’t have Logan here to make it harder for him.
But it was a classic tragedy. Everyone knew the ending by now. The former-Williams driver gave their entire soul for that one championship, just to show that they could do it. Then the real winner went off and grew into the phenom they were always supposed to be. Now without the dead weight of their best friend hanging onto him.
They’d sworn it wouldn’t happen to them. They’d both worked so hard to keep the resentment from boiling over. But the threat of being dropped if Logan got another P2 in the championship had been the straw that broke the camel’s back. It hadn’t been Oscar’s fault that the team had decided to shift to him after all Logan had given them. But that didn’t mean Logan could let it go, either.
Now there were landmines around their relationship. Both too scared to reach out because of the chance of stepping on one and burning down everything they’d built. So the silence and the distance stretched and the structures crumbled anyway.
Logan moved back to America. He wasn’t going to be Nico, sitting in the same apartment, all but begging Oscar to come back to him on live tv. He wasn’t going to be George, reaching out every other year just to feel the rejection all over again. He might have been doomed to leave Oscar like this from the beginning but that didn’t mean he didn’t get to choose what he did with the rest of his life.
He was 34. He was still in top shape. He didn’t want to stop racing. He just couldn’t race Oscar anymore.
Logan did IndyCar for a couple of years, ending up next to Kyle again. Somehow losing the championship to him wasn’t as hard as losing to Oscar had been. In 2036, he retired for real this time, no other championship but at least a few wins under his belt.
He pretended not to be invested in F1. But he couldn’t not watch the races. Couldn’t not see Oscar win his fourth championship, then his fifth.
Logan wonders if he’ll go for nine, just to kick fate’s balls.
In the end, Logan can’t say no when Williams invites him to a couple of races. They’re the team that supported him when no one did and he can’t refuse James anything.
When Sky Sports here he’s coming, they beg to have him on. He reluctantly agrees.
When Oscar wins in Miami, Logan is there. There are so many cameras on him as he watches his ex-best friend win Logan’s home race. All he can think is that it was always going to end this way.
I've seen it, in the poems and the sands
I've pleaded, with the powers and their plans
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
It's the history, the history of man
history of man - maisie peters

The Jenson ask is hilarious! Now all I can imagine is Sky Sports telling Jenson to kidnap Logan again to get George and Alex on again. Meanwhile, Jenson, who has already kidnapped Logan again, rolls up like this is my new copresenter we don't need Danica Patrick anymore Logan has better thoughts on the race. Williams is on red alert trying to find their missing baby because James doesn't check his texts during races!
Oscar now attempts to escape McLaren every time he sees Logan on the Big Face Time (TV) because one miracle escape does not mean Logan will always be safe!
Oh I can totally see it!
Please enjoy this little thing I wrote. I am coping with Australia by writing and being in denial.❤️
Jenson is tired of Danica and decides if Sky Sports won’t give him a replacement, he’ll find one for himself. Logan is old enough to toddle around so he gets his own little space that he can play in when Jenson comes along and coaxes him outside.
Has Logan been given the whole “strange danger, don’t go off alone” talk by his parents? Yes, yes he has.
But Jenson isn’t a stranger so it’s okay and Jenson easily walks out with Logan in tow. After all, it’s not like he kidnapped him. Logan went off his own free will and with the promise of chocolate.
Jenson also shoots off a text to James saying:
Heads up!
Taking Logan for a bit. If you want him back, have Alex and George come to us. 1 interview.
You know where we're at.
James of course does not read it because he's busy being a team principal. In fact, the Williams staff are secretly running around trying to find Logan thinking he’s wandered off looking for his dads because “he knows better to wander off with strangers.” It isn’t until 15 minutes after that James is notified after Logan is confirmed to not be in the garage or hospitality. By then, Jenson has returned to where the rest of the Sky Sports team is with Logan in tow.
“Uhh, Jenson? “ One of the staff members spoke up, “We’re about to be on air soon.”
“I know! This is Logan. He’s my co-presenter for today.” Logan waved at the crew, who smiled and waved back.
"Did you ask to take him?" Nico smiled and waved back. "The last time you did this, Williams thought you kidnapped him."
"Logan wanted to follow me on his own." Jenson scoffed. "Isn't that right?"
Logan, for his part, just cheered and offered up a piece of chocolate to Natalie, who happily took it.
"On his own, huh?"
"It'll be fine."
"Isn't Danica supposed to be-" Natalie said.
"Nope, Logan's is already here. Besides, this is preparing him for the future.
"You don't even know if he wants to be a driver?"
Jenson gasped at Nico's comment. "How could you say that?"
"Don't listen to him, Logan. You can become a Williams driver. I believe in you."
"That's not-"
"And we're live!"
********
Oscar's eyes widened at the sight of the TV. "Lo!"
Lando looked up, having finished interviews early and returning to his driver's room. "Oh, yeah that's Logan. Looks like he's with Jenson."
Oscar watched in horror as Lando returned back to looking at the data. "No! Lo! Lo!"
Lando looked up at his son's insistent eyes. "Hey, it's okay. We're meeting them for dinner soon."
Oscar, however, did not agree with this and instead started to stumble towards the door and pull on the handle. Lando, being taller and faster, immediately jumped up and put his hand on it.
Oscar proceeds to yank at the door handle and cry. Going as far as to try and shove Lando away. "Lo!"
*******
Alex and George were walking to find Sky Sports, especially Jenson, after receiving a screenshot of his message? Threat?
"I swear when I find him" George muttered. "How dare he kidnap my child? Logan knows better than to wander off with strangers."
"Jenson's not a stranger." Alex unhelpfully replied. "I'm sure he's fine. It's good for Logan to be around new people."
"What if he's hurt? Uncomfortable?"
"He's with Jenson. He wasn't kidnapped."
"That message read like a ransom note."
Logan was actually quite happy about participating in the interviews. He stayed silent when others were speaking and at the end, they would turn to him and ask if he had any questions to ask, to which he replied in mangled words and sounds. It didn't matter since everyone treated it as serious and the drivers even provided full answers.
"Yes, I agree with you Logan. Our strategy was obviously not the best. We will come back stronger next time."- Charles
"I agree, Logan. Hamilton definitely brake checked me. Thank you for seeing it my way. You would do great at Aston Martin." - Fernando
"Did Fernando say that? If the stewards haven't said anything, I wouldn't put too much weight on it, Logan"- Hamilton
"Oh, he's a natural." Jenson cooed as Logan received another cookie from Nico.
"Dada!" Logan cheerfully yelled out, his mouth covered with crumbs.
Alex looked almost amused at the scene but George seemed to be on the warpath. Careful not to let his collateral go, Jenson adjusted his hold on Logan. "Hey, George, Alex. Nice of you to stop by."
"Hello," Alex greeted. "And hello to you Logan. You seem to be having fun."
"Oh he is," Jenson cheerfully ignored George's stare. "He's such a good interviewer."
"Well thank you so much for joining us today, gentlemen."
"It's not like we had a choice," George muttered
For the entire five minutes, Logan watched as his dads were being interviewed on their performance on the track. Alex went along with the whole thing quite well. George, on the other hand, kept a neutral face but his eyes were firmly locked on Logan.
"Lo! Lo!" Oscar yelled out.
Logan looked up and smiled. "Osca! Osca!"
"How wonderful of you to join us Lando" Natalie greeted. "It's a reunion of the 2019 rookies."
Lando laughed. "It wasn't my intention. Oscar saw Logan on TV and begged to go."
The walk back was fairly quiet with Logan knocked out from the amount of sugar and Oscar exhausted from the tantrum he threw earlier.
"I wonder if Jenson would babysit for us." Alex joked,
"Absolutely not," George said. "Logan is going to start associating Jenson with candy and cookies. Jenson will also take it as an open invitation to just kidnap him again."
"He had a lot of fun. I'm glad." Alex said, practically ignoring George.
"I'm glad he had fun. Oscar kicked me in the shin." Lando muttered, a bit peeved at how peacefully asleep Oscar was.

This has been sitting in my drafts for a long time. Sorry it took so long to get out. The Australian GP gave me the push i needed to complete this.
Thank you for sending me this ask! I loved answering it! 🥰

GOODREADS
@oz-peartree
Tumblr media
oscar spent most of his summer (or australian winter) hanging out in cafés and reading. he once wrote a 2,000 words review on the merits of good omens on goodreads, but then got embarrassed and also thought it would interfere with his deliberate choice to not leave any reviews besides stars. so he deleted the whole thing and saves it in a folder for himself instead. one of his sisters once stumbled on his goodreads page by accident. he has tried to block her IP across multiple devices but has largely been unsuccessful.
——————————— the seminar —————————————
we zoom in on Federation Internationale University (FIU), a sunny campus nestled up in the hills of monaco. two students, lando norris and oscar piastri, have made it into their sophomore year.
prof vettel's philosophy 204 module is notoriously hard. both of them have to take it as part of their degree requirements (but for lando, maybe also because he enjoys a challenge).
assignment pairs are set by prof seb early in the semester. lando already knows of oscar, and vice versa, but nothing substantial beyond passing each other in the hallway or the occasional library run-in in freshman year. lando's made quite an impression because he once spent half the seminar chatting about how "young stalin was kinda cute" despite stalin not being related to the philosophy syllabus, and it being totally tangential to the topic at hand. half the class agrees with lando, the other half is too overwhelmed by his energy to argue.
oscar just wants to get on with the work already. he was the best kid at his prep school, the prep school that he moved halfway across the world for at 14 and worked hard at, and doesn't like being distracted from his very important goal of being class valedictorian at FIU eventually.
lando gets oscar's number after class, before they both skirt off in different directions. oscar wants to talk to lando about the assignment, but when lando exits the room he's already off talking to another bunch of friends, and oscar's too awkward to jump in.
lando texts first.

oscar rolls his eyes and gets back to writing his eighteenth century literature class notes.
meanwhile, lando texts max, his roommate and padel bud, about it. max is at a campus hackathon. (max is a junior who has been scouted by at least three big tech firms already, and is on track for early graduation. but lando thinks max has other reasons for wanting to stick around...)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the other thing lando is sure of is that oscar is not in fact better than him at padel. but he is not going to worry about that. or think about how oscar might look, red-faced and flustered and sweaty...
lando's phone pings with social notifications, and the thought disappears.
————meanwhile, the boys do some research——————
lando:

and contrary to popular belief, oscar does have some feelings on the matter. he makes these feelings known to his friend logan, one of the few non-europeans on campus who also knows distinctly what it's like when people make fun of his accent. nevermind that everybody has an accent, oscar thinks. the idea of a neutral accent is an arbitrary invention. he'd just rather not expend the energy fighting people about it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
if oscar has any thoughts about how he would feel should lando choose to turn his flirty energy towards oscar himself, well... that is besides the point. because that would never happen. oscar is not interesting, oscar is not noticable. oscar is here to get his grades and move on.
oscar can think of three things that he hates, which he is in the process of overcoming. flight delays, going to the dentist, and now: working in group projects.
but, oscar tells himself, he is a grown man. he's moved halfway across the world to pursue his dream of getting his degree, and then heading on to work in publishing. he tells himself he'll stay focused on this, and nothing else. because pursuing his goals requires singleminded determination. or like the great poet pitbull once said: for anybody going through tough times, been there, done that. every day above ground is a great day, remember that.
so oscar puts his phone face-down on the table. he tries very hard not to think about bee statues or lando for the rest of the day.
(he fails.)
