Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz would be the perfect boyfriends anyone could ever dream of. And you have them both… in secret. But that only makes it even more exciting.
You loved having them over at your place during the holidays, where the three of you enjoyed privacy in the beautiful apartment they had offered to buy you, but that you ultimately secured through your own effort and hard work. Your days were filled with Carlos’ pancakes, romantic movie marathons, and, inevitably, heated sessions on the couch whenever a scene sparked the flame.
You ignored the sound of the television as you settled into Carlos’s lap, his large hands spreading your legs and squeezing your thighs, keeping you fully exposed. In front of you, kneeling, Charles devoured you eagerly, savoring every drop of your arousal without letting anything go to waste.
His skilled tongue danced around your swollen, burning clit, which throbbed with a soft rhythm beneath his lips. His eyes lifted to watch you as he sucked slowly, drawing a shaky moan from you. Your back arched instinctively, forcing Carlos to hold you in place to keep you from writhing too much.
"Come on, cariño. I know how good he is with his tongue, but try to stay still." Carlos coos softly in your ear as he trails a series of slow, delicate kisses along the exposed skin of your neck.
Charles was drunk. His tongue moved as his fingers sank inside you at a precise angle, curling like a hook. Your body reacted instinctively, tightening around them in a desperate grip, as if trying to keep them there. He found that sweet spot within you—the one that made every fiber of your being ignite with a surge of pleasure.
"What a mischievous princess." Charles murmurs something barely audible before pressing his lips against your core once more, making your eyes roll back and turn white with pleasure. "That's it, ma belle. Quelle belle pute."
And George crashes on the last lap…
But on the bright side, we have a 1-2 finish for Ferrari and a Carlando podium
Logan not getting to race in Australia…
Max has retired from the Australian Grand Prix…

Pierre Gasly
- Lover - Taylor Swift
The winter break in the F1 yearly calendar was possibly your favourite time of year, any time that you didn't have to miss your boyfriend for days at a time was time you cherished. During the season it was common for you and Pierre to pass each other like ships on the ocean. His early morning starts meant that you were waking up just as he left for the gym and with your days being spent in the studio you wouldn't arrive back to your shared home until long after he had eaten dinner, walked Simba and spent some time on the simulator to prep for that weekends upcoming race.
But winter break meant a few different things, the first being just over two months of freedom between the end of one season in Abu Dhabi and the beginning of testing before Bahrain kicked off the next. The second being that you and Pierre would spend a week visiting both of your families to spend some time with them before the two of you holed yourselves up in Strasbourg for the Christmas period, your apartment there playing host to the most wonderful time of year until New Years called you both down to Monaco for the annual celebration with your friends.
But tonight was more important than thoughts of the upcoming season, Christmas Eve was here and after you both got back from touring the Christmas market with Simba, the front door was locked and the curtains mostly drawn, the fireplace lit and the croon of old records on your player sealed you all inside your apartment for the night, wrapping you up in your own little snow globe. It was a picture perfect scene, you on the couch with Simba curled up in your lap, Pierre grabbing the wine and pasta that you were eating for dinner, with Miracle on 34th Street playing on the TV, snow falling past the window.
Every Christmas followed this routine since you and Pierre first celebrated the holiday together as a couple, and you couldn't picture a better way to spend it.
But of all of the traditions you followed there was one that seemed the most special, as a child Christmas gifts were locked away never to be opened until the morning, but being adults who made their own rules, you two always sat under the tree on the evening of the 24th and opened your gifts for each other. This year you could feel yourself on the edge of your seat because of the wrapped record that sat at the bottom of his pile, a surprise that you had been working on for about a month.
"qu'est-ce que c'est?" his goofy smile made you giggle as he got to the last gift in his little stack, a stack which had also contained a new watch, a silly t shirt with a photo of him and Charles when they were kids in their little karting suits (a matching one sat in a gift bag with the Monegasque's name on it) and a Cartier chain that now sat in its rightful place on his neck. The flat square was wrapped immaculately in the same gold and silver paper as his other gifts but once the paper was ripped off Pierre was met with a simple brown cardboard record sleeve, completely blank besides a polaroid that had been glued to the front, it was from your first Christmas together, taken in that very apartment when it was empty bar the Christmas tree and sofa you were currently sat on. One word decorated the bottom border of the photograph "Lover" written in your familiar handwriting.
Your own smile only grew when he immediately abandoned all his other gifts to swap out the current song for his mystery gift. Smooth guitars filled the room as he pulled you up to dance with him, your own voice echoing through the room as you settled into a slow sway.
Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close forever and ever? And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever) You're my, my, my, my Lover
The songs end was met with the muffled crackle of the needle but you couldn't pull your eyes away from his. without breaking away from your gaze Pierre pulled a small box from his pocket and knelt on the spot. Love and admiration never leaving his eyes.
Your Lover, Forever.

Charles Leclerc
- Feels like This - Maisie Peters
There were a select few honours that you had managed to have in your life this far, the first being the music you were able to give to the world. Since you were old enough to babble you held a tune and the passion you had for music translated to the songs you wrote and shared with the world as your career.
The second being the honour you had to be the long time girlfriend of the most amazing man you had ever known. Charles met you when you were traveling in Italy a few years ago as a well deserved treat to yourself after finishing university. A coffee shop in Maranello played host to your meet cute where you sat in a cosy corner next to the most beautiful piano, when the owner saw you eyeing the instrument she insisted that you play something, and among the crowd of café patrons stood a transfixed Charles Leclerc. He was still in his first year of racing with Ferrari at the time, and once you finished playing a song that you had written the patrons applauded while he worked up the courage to ask you for your name, and eventually your number. The relationship that followed was nothing short of a fairy tale and as his career in formula one grew so did yours in music, both of you growing into notorious and respected individuals in your respective fields.
All this to say that your third and most recent honour came in the form of a request 6 months ago. It was inevitable that Charles brother Lorenzo would eventually propose to his long time love Charlotte but when the day finally came it was magical. This exciting chapter in their lives came with a very special request from the future groom himself, as he pulled you to the side at the family dinner held to celebrate the upcoming nuptials and explained that he wanted to surprise Charlotte with a song for their first dance as husband and wife, and he wanted you (renowned artist and his brother's girlfriend) to write and perform it.
Which led you to tonight, mere hours before the wedding, where you were sat at the piano in the ballroom of the beautiful historic mansion in the Italian countryside that would play host to the reception the following day. You were so engrossed in your secret rehearsal that the footsteps of your love went unheard until you felt him sit with you, the both of you sharing the piano stool. Charles made a successful distraction as your fingers left the keys and you turned to look at him, joy dancing in his eyes as he took you in, sat in your happy place.
"So this is what you have been working on? It sounds beautiful."
Charles was just as much in the dark about your song as the rest of the family, the only one who had heard the song being Lorenzo when you sent a voice note to him three weeks ago for final approval, the phone call you received minutes later held his glowing admiration and you could almost swear his voice was heavy with emotion as he thanked you what must have been a hundred times, citing the songs perfection.
"Enzo asked me to write it, its his gift to Charlotte for tomorrow, their first dance."
You fiddled with the keys absentmindedly before launching into the full song, this time with the vocals which echoed through the empty room, the world coming to a standstill as Charles watched you with eyes full of love.
Who cares about star signs? I'm hardwired to be with you You're like a sunrise and I'm scared that I'll never get enough of you Nobody called it a starfall Come out the blue I'm all butterflies I'm sky-high for you When it feels like this, like a light came on And you look at me like I'm all you want I got everything at my fingertips How can I resist when it feels like this?
The final notes echoed through the room as you met Charles' gaze for his approval, you were met with his hazel gaze staring into your soul.
"How do you do it?" He whispers in awe.
"I write them about you."

Carlos Sainz
- A Thousand Years - Christina Perri
You and Carlos never fought, in the three years that you have been lucky to love him it had never happened.
You were convinced that you were soulmates, twin flames that slotted together like puzzle pieces, your personalities fit in a way that you had never seen before, not in the love your own parents shared, not in the movies you grew up watching or the books you read, not even in the love you saw everyday between strangers on the streets that you would never meet again. Since the day you met Carlos Sainz you were convinced that he was the answer to the wishes that the little girl inside you once made on stars looking to find a handsome prince to love her forever.
Couples fight, it was normal, healthy even. The words bounced around your head, hitting the walls of your empty home in a never ending loop. Couples fight, but you never did.
Which is why you were so frazzled, why you sat in a trance in your living room, alone in your big empty house while your fiancé was on the other side of the world. Because you and Carlos never fought, until you did.
The argument became insignificant the second it ended, you couldn't even remember what it was about or what had started it in the first place, but it was enough to leave you in tears as Carlos picked up his keys and left two days before he was set to leave for Singapore. Your phone lay on the table in front of you, screen dark and notification bar empty. He had yet to reach out, no calls or texts since he walked out the day before, but neither had you. You didn't know what to say, and it wasn't for lack of trying, but every time your finger hovered over his contact you froze, what if he didn't want to speak to you? The Singapore Grand Prix was a difficult race in its essence, it was held at night in blistering heat and it was dangerous if the driver couldn't command their full focus, so the idea of distracting him before he raced left a pit in your stomach.
You were brought out of your thoughts when your phone finally lit up, the screen coming to life with a feint buzz, heart leaping into your throat you scrambled to open it, hoping for a message from him, but it was instead from Lando, one of Carlos' closest friends on the grid. His message was simple, a brief 'saw this on twitter' followed by a video.
Opening the attachment you were met with an edit, clearly made by a fan, of moments that the media and other fans had caught in your relationship. Clips and photos from the last three years of you and Carlos strung together in a video that captured the story of you both, from early days to the many races that you were in attendance for, snippets from interviews where the other was mentioned to the photo that had announced your engagement to the world. Every public moment of your love captured in a two minute video that had you smiling and filled with warmth.
The song took three days from start to finish, your extensive training in as many instruments as you could get your hands on let you compose the piece in record time, and the final product sat nestled in your phone as you boarded the flight to Singapore, the sixteen hour flight let you catch up on the sleep you had lost and when you landed on Sunday evening you were an hour away from the start of the race, you wouldn't make it to the track before Carlos was in the car but the audio file was sent as you settled into a taxi.
When you reached the paddock the race was well underway and a staff member from Ferrari waited at the gates with your pass. There were 10 laps to go when you finally made it to the garage, Alexandra waving you over as you both watched your boys in the final stint of the race, when the checker flag waved to signal the end of the race you accompanied the rest of the crew out to the parc ferme barriers, Max, George and Lando settled into their podium spaces and between them you could see him.
Your eyes met, and the world stopped.
As he jogged over the crew around you began their congratulations for his P4 finish, but your eyes never left his, not until he reached you and his lips crashed onto your own. The frozen world around you began to speed up, lights brighter and sounds louder as you poured you entire being into the kiss.
"mi para siempre" were the words that he mumbled, breaking the kiss with your foreheads pressed together like if you were to separate the world would end.
Couples fight, you and Carlos fought, once, and never again.
And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more

Daniel Riccardo
- Enchanted - Taylor Swift
It was official, you had finally lost your mind.
"I hope you guys are enjoying the show tonight" you spoke into the mic as the stadium crowd cried out in deafening screams, your usual tour costume had been swapped out for the most gorgeous purple gown of your dreams, this entire section of the show was brand new to debut tonight and close out your Sydney show. A new song that had never been heard by the crowd, or by the man who stood with your friends and family in the VIP tent.
You and Daniel had been friends for as long as either of you could remember. Attached by the hip all your lives you were best friends, well, you were his best friend, you were madly in love with him, which was inconvenient.
As the crowd died down you continued "It's so special to be back in Australia, this has been a pretty epic welcome back to my home so thank you all for coming out tonight." You could feel the love pouring back at you from the crowd, which was giving you courage to do what you were about to do, if this whole thing blew up in your face like fireworks then at least you knew that they would have a new song.
"So I have this song, its a new song that I wrote for my next album but I think that tonight is the perfect night to sing it to you all for the first time." Your eyes bounced between the floor and the section of seats to the left of the stage, where you knew Daniel was watching.
Yep, you had finally gone insane.
"This song was written with someone really special to me in mind, He is someone I have known all my life, and he just so happens to be the person I love most in the world, so I hope you enjoy."
The band played the intro to the song, guitars ringing through the venue which riled the crowd up once again into cheers, there was no going back now.
There I was again tonight Forcing laughter, faking smiles Same old tired, lonely place Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy Vanished when I saw your face All I can say is, it was enchanting to meet you
Thousands of lights began to erupt around the stadium, looking like the fireflies that you and Danny used to chase in the summer. This song contained your entire being, all of your feelings, memories, and dreams condensed into six minutes. Years of neighbouring desks in school, sneaking out to watch the stars, lounging on the sofa in his garage while he fiddled with his kart. It spanned all the cities that you followed him to, watching him race, every victory and every loss, different formula categories and varying teams over the years as he made a name for himself. All the years of talent shows and sleepless nights on porches with your guitar and your notebook, to the sold out shows that led you to tonight. Every single moment shared with him.
This is me praying that This was the very first page Not where the story line ends My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon I was enchanted to meet you
The consequences of your extremely public declaration of your feelings were glaringly obvious, it could all go horribly wrong. You knew that Daniel wouldn't exit your life if he didn't feel the same, but no matter the outcome, either he returned your feelings or you just publicly humiliated yourself on stage and you weren't entirely sure that you could live with the rejection that you would face if he didn't love you the way you wanted to be loved by him.
Daniel Riccardo held a tight grasp on your heart and he had the power to shatter it into a million pieces.
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home I'll spend forever wondering if you knew This night is flawless, don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Your voice rang out to a final deafening cheer from the crowd as the lights went dark. The show was over, and now you had to face the music.
As the venue began to empty you paced the length of the backstage area, Daniel always met you back stage after a show if he was in attendance, and as the minutes ticked by and the tulle of your dress brushed the floor with every step dread started to seep into you.
Maybe you made a mistake.
Before you could wish for the earth to swallow you whole pounding footsteps came to a sudden halt behind you. When you turned to see him he looked out of breath, like he ran to get there. His expression was unreadable and a final strike of dread sent a shiver down your spine.
This was a mistake.
Before you could say anything, before you could fumble for the words to explain yourself, make up any excuse to save your friendship from the catastrophic end that your mind was envisioning he marched up to meet you.
The kiss was unexpected, you would have thought you were dreaming but even in your dreams, Daniel never kissed you like that. It lasted what felt like forever and as you both eventually came up for air the unreadable look in his eyes suddenly became glaringly clear.
"I'm not in love with anyone but you."

Carlos Sainz Jr. is a notable driver in the world of Formula 1, recognized for both his skill on the track and his lineage. As the son of Carlos Sainz Sr., a celebrated two-time World Rally Champion, Sainz Jr. is often categorized as a "nepo baby." This term refers to individuals who benefit from familial connections in their careers. While this label may seem fitting, it is essential to delve deeper into Sainz Jr.'s journey to understand that he possesses the genuine talent and determination necessary to establish himself in the competitive realm of motorsport.
Growing up in a family steeped in motorsport, Sainz Jr. had a unique advantage. His father's success provided him with insights and opportunities that many aspiring drivers might not have access to. However, it is important to recognize that having a famous parent does not guarantee success in racing. The sport is incredibly demanding, and Sainz Jr. has had to navigate the challenges of Formula 1 on his own merits. His background may have opened doors, but it was his hard work and dedication that allowed him to walk through them.
Sainz Jr.'s motorsport career began in karting, where he quickly demonstrated his innate talent for racing. He made his way through various junior categories, including Formula Renault and GP3 Series, consistently showcasing his abilities. His performances earned him a spot in Formula 1, but this achievement was not solely due to his lineage; it was a reflection of his relentless pursuit of excellence and his commitment to the sport.
Once he entered Formula 1, Sainz Jr. faced the daunting task of proving himself against some of the world's best drivers. He started with Toro Rosso and later moved to Renault, where he had to adapt and deliver results under pressure. His ability to perform consistently and even outpace expectations has solidified his reputation as a capable driver. This adaptability and racing intelligence are critical traits that distinguish him from others who may rely solely on their family connections.
In recent seasons, Sainz Jr. has further established his credentials, particularly during his tenure with Ferrari. His impressive performances, including securing podium finishes, have shown that he can compete at the highest level. These achievements highlight that he is not just riding on the coattails of his father's success; he is carving out his own legacy in the sport. His ability to perform well in a prestigious team like Ferrari speaks volumes about his talent and determination.
In conclusion, while Carlos Sainz Jr. may fit the "nepo baby" label due to his father's legacy, it is crucial to acknowledge his talent and hard work. His journey through the ranks of motorsport is a testament to his dedication and skill, which have allowed him to thrive in a highly competitive environment. Sainz Jr. exemplifies how one can leverage their background while still proving their worth through genuine talent and perseverance. As he continues to grow as a driver, it is clear that his legacy will be shaped not just by his lineage but by his own remarkable achievements in Formula 1.
Oscar Piastri and Carlos Sainz are two talented drivers in Formula 1 who have faced similar challenges in their careers, often finding themselves in the shadow of their more established teammates. Both drivers have shown immense potential and skill, yet they have frequently been perceived as the "second fiddle" within their respective teams. This essay will explore the careers of Piastri and Sainz, highlighting their experiences and the dynamics of being overshadowed by teammates.
Oscar Piastri, a rising star in Formula 1, made his debut with McLaren in 2023 after a successful stint in lower formulas, including Formula 2, where he won the championship. Despite his impressive credentials, Piastri joined a team that already had a well-regarded driver, Lando Norris. From the outset, Piastri faced the challenge of establishing himself in a team where Norris had already built a strong reputation. As a rookie, Piastri's performances were often compared to those of Norris, who had garnered significant attention and praise, making it difficult for Piastri to emerge as the team's first choice.
Carlos Sainz, on the other hand, has been in Formula 1 longer than Piastri and has experienced the highs and lows of being a second driver. After stints with Toro Rosso and Renault, Sainz found himself at McLaren, where he showcased his talent and secured a seat at Ferrari. However, even at Ferrari, Sainz has often been overshadowed by his teammate, Charles Leclerc, who is viewed as the team's primary driver. The team dynamics at Ferrari have typically favored Leclerc, leaving Sainz to navigate the complexities of being the supporting driver while still striving for individual success.
Both drivers have had to contend with the pressures of being in the shadow of their teammates. For Piastri, the challenge lies in proving himself against Norris, who has already established himself as a formidable competitor within McLaren. Piastri's journey is marked by the need to demonstrate that he is not just a backup driver but a serious contender capable of challenging for podiums and victories. Similarly, Sainz has had to consistently perform at a high level to earn respect and recognition, often feeling the weight of expectations as he supports Leclerc's ambitions at Ferrari.
The media and fan perceptions of both Piastri and Sainz contribute to their experiences as second drivers. Piastri, being a rookie, faces the scrutiny of fans and analysts who are eager to compare him to Norris. This pressure can be daunting, as every mistake or underwhelming performance is magnified. For Sainz, the narrative has often revolved around his role as the reliable teammate, which can sometimes overshadow his individual achievements. Both drivers must navigate these narratives while focusing on their own development and performance.
In conclusion, Oscar Piastri and Carlos Sainz exemplify the challenges faced by talented drivers in Formula 1 who find themselves in the shadow of their teammates. Both have shown remarkable skill and determination, yet their journeys highlight the complexities of team dynamics and the perception of being a second driver. As they continue to develop their careers, it will be interesting to see how they manage these challenges and whether they can assert themselves as first-choice drivers in the future. Their experiences serve as a reminder of the competitive nature of Formula 1 and the constant battle for recognition and success within the sport.
