I just donât feel like this fandom gives *enough* appreciation to Sir Lewis. Not only is he the sexiest beast on the track, but he uses the rest of his energy (how does the man have any left?!) into channeling positive energy via both his music and campaigning for SO many important areas of social change.
This sport will forever be in debt to his skill, his positivity and his relentless drive to transform both on and off track for everyone. Even if you believe he has been too dominant over these past years, you can still appreciate what he has done for the sport. The changes he has made for the better. He has faced adversity from the beginning and still only brings positivity and light to so many.
Whether he wins the championship or not, I donât even care. I will forever be proud to be a Lewis fan because of the truly inspirational person he is.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Alex Albon? Because if the commentators wonât commend him for dedicating his entire being to the crazy circus that is F1 then at least I know we willâšâ€ïž
Sending positive vibes to Lewis and Pierre for tomorrow and also for a safe race for allâš
Carlos Sainz x Reader
Summary: no matter whether heâs wearing Ferrari red or Williams blue, standing on the top step of podiums or fighting for points, youâll love Carlos through it all
The podium is eerily quiet now. The lights are dimmed, the bright flashes of cameras long gone, and the chaotic hum of celebration has faded into nothing. The night wraps itself around the circuit like a heavy blanket, but Carlos is still there. Sitting cross-legged on the podium, the silver P2 trophy rests beside him, untouched.
You find him like this after weaving through the empty paddock, the distant sounds of dismantling garages growing fainter as you near him. At first, youâre hesitant. You stop at the base of the podium steps, watching him from the shadows.
His head is tilted back, eyes fixed on the sky, though you doubt heâs really looking at anything. The set of his shoulders is tight, his elbows resting on his knees. He doesnât notice you.
âCarlos,â you say softly, almost unsure if you should disturb him.
He doesnât startle. Instead, his gaze drops, and he looks at you. Thereâs something hollow in his expression, a weariness that no trophy can mask. He doesnât say anything, just gestures faintly with his hand for you to come up.
You climb the steps slowly, the sound of your shoes against the metal breaking the heavy silence. When you reach him, you hesitate again, standing just a few feet away.
âAre you okay?â You ask, careful, your voice low.
He exhales sharply, almost a laugh but not quite. âAm I okay?â He repeats, shaking his head. He leans forward, running both hands through his hair. âI donât know, cariño. I donât think I know how to answer that.â
You lower yourself down beside him, close enough that your knees brush. The chill of the night air seeps into your skin, but you ignore it, your eyes fixed on him. âTalk to me,â you urge gently. âWhatâs going on in your head?â
He doesnât respond right away. For a while, the only sound is the distant murmur of the city beyond the circuit. Then he sighs, deep and heavy, as if itâs been trapped inside him all night.
âIâm just ... taking it all in,â he says finally, his voice quiet, almost broken. âI donât know if Iâll ever stand up here again.â
The weight of his words sinks into your chest. You reach out, your hand brushing against his arm. âCarlos, donât say that. You donât know that.â
âBut I donât know that I will, either,â he counters, turning to look at you. His dark eyes are glassy under the dim lights, his jaw tight. âItâs Williams next year. Williams. You know what everyone is saying. You know what they expect.â
âForget what they expect,â you insist. âThis isnât the end for you. Itâs just-â
â-a step back?â He interrupts, his tone bitter. He shakes his head again, lips pressing into a hard line. âThatâs what they all say, isnât it? That itâs a ârebuilding year,â a âfresh start.ââ His voice drops, softer now but no less anguished. âBut what if itâs not? What if this really is the end? What if Iâve peaked, and itâs all downhill from here?â
Your heart twists at the vulnerability in his voice. You donât know how long heâs been holding this in, how long heâs been carrying this fear. âCarlos-â
âDo you know what I thought, standing on that podium tonight?â He cuts you off, his voice thick. He doesnât wait for you to answer. âI thought, âThis is it. This is the last time.â I smiled, I waved, but inside I was just ... empty.â
His voice breaks on the last word, and he swallows hard, looking away from you. But you can see it â his hands trembling slightly, his chest rising and falling unevenly.
You donât think. You just move. You reach for him, your arms wrapping around his shoulders, pulling him into you. He doesnât resist. His head drops against your chest, and thatâs when it happens. The tears come fast, silent at first, then with a shuddering breath that rips through him.
âItâs okay,â you murmur, your hand threading through his hair. âLet it out, baby. Iâve got you.â
He clings to you like heâs afraid youâll disappear, his arms wrapping around your waist. His tears soak through your shirt, but you donât care. You press your cheek to the top of his head, rocking him gently. âEven if you never stand on another podium,â you whisper, your voice steady, âit doesnât matter. It doesnât make you any less. It doesnât make me love you any less.â
He stiffens slightly at your words, pulling back just enough to look at you. His eyes are red, his face streaked with tears. âYou say that now,â he says, his voice cracking. âBut what if I canât give you the life you deserve? What if I canât be-â
âStop,â you cut him off firmly, your hands cradling his face. âDonât you dare. Donât you dare say youâre not enough for me. Carlos, you are everything. Do you hear me? Everything.â
His eyes search yours desperately, as if looking for something to hold onto. âPromise me,â he whispers. âPromise me youâll still feel that way, even if ... even if everything goes wrong.â
âI promise,â you say without hesitation, your voice trembling with the weight of it. âOn my life. I promise.â
He closes his eyes, a fresh tear slipping down his cheek. You wipe it away with your thumb, your fingers lingering against his skin. Then, slowly, you lean in, your lips brushing against his in a soft, lingering kiss.
When you pull back, his forehead rests against yours, his breathing still uneven but steadier now. âI donât deserve you,â he murmurs, his voice barely audible.
âYes, you do,â you counter, your hands slipping down to rest on his shoulders. âAnd if you canât believe that right now, then believe this: Iâm not going anywhere. Not now, not ever.â
He doesnât respond with words this time. Instead, he pulls you back into his arms, holding you like youâre the only thing anchoring him to the world. And maybe, for now, thatâs exactly what you are.
The night stretches on, the podium still and silent around you. But neither of you moves. The world can wait.
I really need to finish this, god give me the strength
