TRASH TRASH TRASH pt.2
is it just me but mick schumi and joe burrow..?? they be copy pasting each other.
my question is how are the people living tin those hotel who are NOT there for F1 or any residences near by approve midnight/wee hour racing???? Is it not like noisy???
this didn't start with the vegas drain covers but it just feels like f1 is so disrespectful of its athletes and the teams by prioritizing the show above the sporting event.
these are still human beings and as elite athletes they're trying to take their sport seriously and go through all this rigorous preparation to compete. for f1 to just shit all over that, start sessions at midnight and later, and to just madly move schedules around last minute on top of the already insane schedule because they cannot do the basic work of safety checking a track sufficiently...
the drivers should just strike, on behalf of their overworked teams if nothing else. i would like to see it :)
sorry for logging on just to talk about that man. Will happen again
no but illegal AND SLOW? HOW? 🥲
you can't say this ferrari car is illegal because of how fast it is in fact it's very much the opposite it's illegal because of how shit it is literally ready for the junkyard
Every single time I say something like this, it never turns out well :)
no im in a dilemma. It's either FORZA FERRARIII OR LANDO NORRIS 1ST WIN!!!
AND I WANT BOTH! BUT CANT!! AND ITS 100TH RACE FOR BOTH BOYS IN THEIR OWN CONTEXT :( and yall think being a neutral fan is fun? No pain? This the pain we go through.
the f1 academy 2024 calendar is so bonkers i’m sorry… jeddah (death trap), zandvoort (known hunger games arena for feeder series racing), singapore (difficulty level: nightmare), qatar (death trap 2: heatstroke boogaloo)…. are they trying to kill these girls or what 😭
no im in a dilemma. It's either FORZA FERRARIII OR LANDO NORRIS 1ST WIN!!!
AND I WANT BOTH! BUT CANT!! AND ITS 100TH RACE FOR BOTH BOYS IN THEIR OWN CONTEXT :( and yall think being a neutral fan is fun? No pain? This the pain we go through.
truly do not understand how people just slip into relationships and jobs and opportunities and friend groups and lifestyles. to me there are a million obstacles to navigate in a single basic conversation
babies :(

"You play?" You called though the apartment, crouching down infront of the piece. "I took the Leclerc's for more of . . . classical instruments." You noted, admiring the piece.
Arthur peaked his head from the wall, looking at you confused. "Ahhh." He snapped his fingers once he saw the red electric guitar leaning on the stand against the wall. "That's not mine, that's yours." He disappeared behind the wall again.
"Mine?" You frowned, confused. You didn't play any instruments as far as you could remember—
You entered the room loudly strumming the guitar to the tune of 'do i want to know' by arctic monkeys. "Mon Dieu, qu'ai-je jamais fait pour te déplaire. S'il te plaît, pardonne-moi." [dear god, what have i ever done to displease you. please forgive me] charles screamed into his hoodie as you stood on the background. "Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle because you confused your girlfriend for her twin sister and fucked her dad? That's what it's like to drive a Ford f2 50." You could hear the other quartet boys wheezing on stream while charles bit on his sleeve to muffle his screams.
You chuckle pulling the case open. You're met by a nice surprise. Tons of polaroid photos fill the case, leaving enough space for the guitar. They were all pictures of you and Charles, dating from the beginning of your relationship till mid 2020 during lockdown.
"I don't think he would've hid that here if he knew you put all these there." Arthur chuckled, holding up a cup of hot coffee ( or was it chocolate? ) for you.
It was both. You sipped the drink, looking at the memories. "What'd you mean?" "Charles didn't think it was as romantic as playing the piano in the morning." The older brother-in-law, Lorenzo, commented as he walked through the hallway.
"Speaking of mister romantic." Arthur sat beside you wiggling his eyebrows. "You like him." You dry laughed which did end up in an actual laugh.
"vous êtes en retard de plusieurs semaines." [you're late by a few weeks] Pascale corrected her youngest son as she stopped by the room, looking at you with a soft smile. You shrugged, sharing the smile.
"Je serais idiot de ne pas tomber amoureuse de mon mari." [i'd be an idiot to not fall for my husband] I joked. Arthur folded his arms squinting his eyes, giving you a suspicious look. "Donner une raison." [give reason] He demanded.
"What is this? An exam." You scoffed with a laugh, nudging his shoulder. "For sentimental reasons." You stuck your tongue out at him, putting the guitar in the case and collecting your things to leave.
"Ie dois partir . . . uhh— maintenant!" [i have to go, uhh now] You snapped your finger once you remembered the word, kissing Pascale's cheek gently. The family gave you smiles and waved farewells as you put your shoes on and left for your car.
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"im safe" was the only message in the chat. You'd texted Charles almost a week ago to assure him of your safety. You didn't tell him where or with who you were, maybe that was why he didn't answer.
Was he angry? He probably was.
You sighed deeply, pocketing your phone as you approached your hotel room. You unlocked the door, pushing your suitcase inside. Charles was here, you could smell his cologne, or maybe because the shower was running and no one else would shower in your room.
Your eyes undiluted upon seeing the two separate beds.
The bathroom door unlocked and Charles stepped out. He was definitely surprised to see you, he wasn't expecting you till tomorrow. And you could tell. He wouldn't be standing there, naked, if he knew you'd be there.
"Sorry." Your voice came out raspy as you tore your eyes away from his bare flesh, looking away. You cleared your voice with a cough, starting to unpack your belongings in the closet. You could hear him move around before he reached for clothes from behind you. You could feel the steam from his skin and his breath on your neck as he paused to look down at your timid figure which got even timid-er when he trapped you between your arms, leaning closer to you.
You closed your eyes, sucking in a deep breath as you felt Charles lips ghost on the skin on your neck. A gasp left your mouth as you felt his hands trail down your chest and hips. "Charles." His name left your tongue like a prayer.
"Please." "You want me?" "I need you." You pleaded, trying to lean back into his body only for him to pull away. "You want me?" "I do. I need you." You begged again, feeling shame flow through your body as you breathed out the words.
"Char . . . les?" You felt him pull away with a scoff. Your face reddened with embarrassment as you heard him dress before taking his leave.
"You've finally done it." You mumbled to yourself stepping in the shower. From going to begging for you to rejecting you. This marriage was dead wasn't it? With a quick shower and tidy up, you collapsed on the not taken bed, staying there for the rest of the night.
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Hehe, look at you!" "Me? Your face is basically- AMOUR!" Charles could feel his faint shouting and your giggling as he gently closed the hotel door after him. He kicked his shoes off before slowly taking strides to your non-moving blanket-covered figure.
He could see the light from the screen under the blanket, colors and figures moving. "Charles!" "Stay still- Y/N! Stop pulling- Y/N!" Your giggles and laughs filled his ears as he gently pulled the blanket to reveal the old digital flip screen camera playing videos from its files.
He could see his younger self trying to pull you closer from your jaw, trying to reach your lips and when he did he kissed you deeply, not wasting the chance to make out with you.
"You know I love you, cheri?" "Oh?" Your drunk voice sounded through the room. "You're so sweet carli-" Charles took the camera, shutting it off with an angry huff.
His eyebrows furrowed. He looked down at you ready to give you a scowl or a scolding only to find you sleeping, far away in dreamland. His shoulders relaxed as he admired you.
What happened? He kept thinking. It was not your fault you said these words. You were frustrated and confused. Heck you were a Seventeen year old, who woke up from a nap to find herself 7 years in the future in a 25 year-olds life and with her expectations.
"I'm sorry." He found himself murmuring quietly, the bed dipping as he sat next to you, gently brushing your messy hair from your face.
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"JESUS!" You stomped angrily, ripping your helmet and balaclava off. "Calm down, Y/N." "Don't tell me to calm down! You yourself said it was bad."
"No no, Y/N." Your mechanic tried to hold you back only for you to shove your helmet in his chest. "LANDO!" You called the British out and you approached his garage. "What the fuck was that?! Huh? Are we playing bumper cars?"
Lando sighed, rolling his eyes as he walked out, ready to shut you up. "You're making a scene." He scolded you, taking your arm to pull you somewhere private. "I am! That was crazy. You're crazy."
"Why do you care?" He stopped in his tracks, looking you straight in your eyes. "You crashed Charles out? He's in the hospital? He's my husband? You hurt my husband." I argued, not being able to stand him.
"He's not your husband." your eyes widened at his statement. "He's Y/N's husband. He's my best friend's husband. I don't know where she is but I'm definitely not looking at her."
You clenched your jaw and fists, glaring at him as he walked away. You took long strides in the other direction.
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Fuck!" You screamed in your car over and over again as you parked at the hotel. You just wished you were back in f3, you wish this was all a nightmare, a bad dream and you'd wake up any second now and score p19 in that damn race.
Lando was right, you weren't Y/N. Nothing that you had was yours, you shouldn't have any of it all. You shouldn't even be here.
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Again?" Charles grumbled, looking around the empty hotel room. Your things were here, but you were nowhere to be found. "Fucking hell Y/N." He cussed, going down the hall to look for you. You might've been at Lando's or Max's?
Neither. One had shrugged and told Charles he last saw you with Lando and the other told him that he last had a fight with you before you walked off. Great.
your things were here but you weren't. Maybe you were on a run? Yes, that must be it. You were just running your stress off, like you always do right? Charles waited. and waited. and waited. it was 4am, he was laying in your bed, his arm in the sling hurting and his eyes burning from lack of sleep.
Great. fucking great—
creak
and there you were, standing at the door, looking at him like a deer caught in headlights. "Y/N, what the actual fuck?!" You flinched, looking up scared as he stomped over. You were ready for a scolding or for him to should, or hit you even. but you were instead pulled into his chest by his one good arm.
"Where the fuck have you been." ok he did scold you, but you still felt better in his arms. so you stayed there, hugging him for the rest of the morning. "your arm—" "fucking fine. just— SHH!" you stayed quiet, letting him nuzzle in your neck and caress your head.
"Where?" "Drive?" "Why?" "Needed to clear my head." "All night?" "Mhm." I nodded, leaning my head on his shoulder. "Text me then." "I did?"
You did. Take a guess on who blocked his number. "Sorry." "Just— dont fucking run off like that. It scares the shit out of me."
have you seen the video of the firefighter ice bath challenge where the firefighter sat in the ice bath with the lady and held her for how long they were in there. Can you write one where it’s Carlos x Y/N and they’re both drivers. Y/N has to do an ice bath, but she HATES being cold, so Carlos climbs in behind her and hugs her to his body and comforts her for however long they’re in there!?
Chilly Chilli || CS55
Singapore was hot. The heat you could handle but it was the humidity that was killing you. You would take another shower but the second you hopped out you began to sweat again. It was an unending cycle.
“She needs to lower her core temperature, but she’s refusing to get in the ice bath.”
You narrowed your eyes at your personal trainer as he snitched to Carlos. Your boyfriend immediately turned his whole focus on you, still sweating in your fireproofs after free practice ended. The look of disapproval had you shifting on your feet and you pointed angrily at the bath. “It’s fucking cold.”
“That’s the point, cariño,” Carlos chuckled, grabbing the zip at his collar and dragging it down his body. “Stop being stubborn.”
You watched with intrigue as he stripped down to his underwear and reached for your zip next. The blue William’s suit landed on his red Ferrari one before he stepped into the icy water and you noticed your PT had at some point discreetly left the room.
You bit your lip at the sharp intake of air he took and watched him swallow deeply as he sunk into the ice before opening his arms. “Come on, amor, it’s not so bad.”
It was inevitable that you would end up in the cold water but it didn’t seem as bad a fate to accept when you would be able to have Carlos’ arms wrapped around you. It didn’t stop your body reacting with wracking shivers and chattering teeth when you eventually stepped in between his legs and plunged neck deep with him.
“Fuck!” you hissed as your breath froze in your lungs and your ribs failed to expand for a few heartbeats. “I’d rather sweat.”
“We can do that later,” he teased in your ear as he settled you onto his lap and encompassed you in a tight hug, “if you behave now.”
You squirmed to get as close as possible to his warmth in the frigid water and tipped your head back to his shoulder. Looking up under your lashes you distracted yourself from the cold with his handsome features and couldn’t help but ask, “Behave good, or behave bad?”
“Cariño,” he groaned as you wriggled more. “As much as I want you, this is still an ice bath.”
Your brows punched together before you saw the pained look on his face and realised what he meant. “Oh,” you giggled, reaching between your bodies to confirm your thought was correct. “It’s really cold, huh? If only I knew some place warm and wet.”
“Your mind is filthy, amor,” he hummed as his fingers slipped over your body and between your legs. “I love it.”
this call is coming from inside the house // zhou guanyu
summary: y/n shows zhou one of her favourite small town fall traditions. it’s a shame that they can’t find their way out.
pairing: zhou guanyu x female! reader
warnings: getting lost in a corn maze, reader tells a story about how she failed her driving test the first time (but she passed the second time! that is what matters), brief talk about past regrets
i once fell in love, and it was gas…soon found out I had a heart of glass
she hummed along to the blondie song playing in the radio, pandora charms clinking into each other as she tapped on the steering wheel, her lovers hand resting gently on her thigh as they drove down the old country laneway.
“and there’s where I failed my driving test the first time. i still can’t park for shit.”
zhou laughed, gently rubbing his thumb in circles on her thigh. “babe, i hate to break this to you, but you still can’t park.”
“oh, fuck you.” she feigned offence, turning down a side street. “i have a backup camera now, my reverse parking has gotten so much better.”
she never thought she’d be here; showing the love of her life around the town where she grew up, introducing him to her parents. she’d come a long way from the shy, timid seventeen year old she was, grown into an outgoing, lively twenty-two year old.
and zhou was everything she could have ever asked for. he treated her like a queen every minute of every day, made her feel like she was alive, truly alive. he was her safe haven.
all it had taken for the two to meet was a chance trip to miami. y/n and her friends couldn’t get tickets to the gp, so they’d impulsively signed up to volunteer on race day. zhou had been in her car for the drivers parade, and he asked her out after the race that night. they had never looked back.
she pulled off the street and into the parking lot, indicator ticking in the background as she circled the parking lot, looking for somewhere to park the car.
“love, you might need to parallel park here.” zhou frowned, looking around for spaces. “the lot is packed.”
y/n cursed, lining up her car to parallel park into the only opening in the gravel lot. “god, please don’t watch this shitshow.”
with a laugh, her boyfriend covered his eyes, allowing his girlfriend to painstakingly put the car in reverse and back into a spot, eyes roving between the backup camera and the blind spot mirrors. her shitty parallel parking had been one of the reasons she’d failed her test in the first place.
finally parked, the couple stepped out of the red jetta, holding hands as they walked towards the farm entrance. they passed under a large orange sign proclaiming the farms official name, groups of excited children running back and forth over the grass, paper cups of apple cider in their hands.
she had worked there for three summers, and two falls, setting up the u-pick orchards and picking berries for the farmers market. and in the fall, she had the best task of all: helping plot the course for the corn maze.
the maze's path had barely changed in all the time that y/n had lived there, and there was something so quintessentially small town about it that reminded her just how different her upbringing was from zhou's
"babe, you've gotta be five pumpkins tall to go in the maze without an adult." zhou joked, pointing at the handpainted height sign: five cartoon pumpkins stacked on top of each other.
"you're lucky i love you." she laughs, putting her arms around her lower back and resting her cheek on his shoulder.
"i love you, too." he hummed, pressing a chaste kiss to her forehead before wrapping his arm around her shoulders and venturing into the maze.
there was something magical about corn mazes, almost as if they existed in liminal space. the soft fall breeze carried with it the smell of grass, the odors from the petting zoo nearby and the apple cider stand by the entrance. her heart swelled with love as zhou took her hand in his, softly guiding her through the first corner of the maze.
"it's usually a left here." she hummed, pointing a black fingernail towards a bend in the path. "many things about this maze have changed over the years, but never this corner."
"it's no fun if you already know the way." he laughed, following y/n down the bend. "where's the guess work?"
"um, i'd rather leave the maze in one piece."
zhou squeezed her hand reassuringly as they turned left, boots crunching over the leaves underfoot as they walked, jacket sleeves pulled over their hands. "walk on the wild side with me, babe. i'm not going to let you die in a corn maze."
"fine." she sighed, slowing her walk as they approached another fork in the path. "three paths, i'll let you choose."
she knew that this portion used to go straight through the middle, but that it had been changed to the right hand pathway. and of course, her lovely boyfriend had picked the left hand path, and she had to bite her lip to stop the protest bubbling in her throat.
she was supposed to be having fun, not worrying about dying in the maze with no food or water. there was cell signal, so she could always call her brother if worst came to worst.
the passage was narrow, only wide enough for one person to walk comfortably, so she drifted behind zhou, still holding his hand. the wind ruffled his dark hair, and he looked back at her with a fond smile. she blew him a kiss, gripping his hand and wrist as they exited the passageway.
when there was enough space for them to stand side by side again, she moved to stand next to him, placing one hand on his smooth, soft skin and angling his head towards hers before she leaned in to kiss him softly.
"thank you for sharing this with me. i know coming back here wasn't easy for you." zhou said softly, wrapping his arms around her.
"it's not that it wasn't easy, i do love it here, with my parents, and with my sister . . . but i don't really have much left here, all of my good friends are out in the city, and i met them in college. it brings back some memories that i'm not so proud of."
zhou rubbed his thumbs along her sides, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "i know, sweetheart. i know."
she kissed him again, sighing into his kiss. "i love you."
"love you more."
there was a rustle behind them, followed by voices as another group of tourists pushed through the maze. zhou tugged on her arm, pulling her around another, more secluded corner. it was a dead end, but that didn't matter when zhou pulled her in for another kiss.
"what'd you do that for?" she chuckled, looping her arms around his neck.
"wanted to kiss you some more."
public displays of affection had never been zhou's thing. he was so calm and reserved and shy, and the idea of being so vulnerable where other people could see it made his skin itch. things like hand holding, and an arm around the shoulders, a gentle kiss on the forehead were normal, but he was very shy about kissing in public.
she kissed him back, lips curving up into a smile. his lips were soft and warm against her cold skin, his hands cradling her body.
he made her feel so goddamn loved.
"zhou, sweetie?" she hummed, giggling as he kissed her hairline. "i think you got us lost."
"no i didn't. i know exactly how we ended up here." zhou frowned, looking around the dead end space. "it was just through here." he dropped her hand, walking back the way they came. "but i'm not sure where to go from here."
"is that not what i just said?' y/n laughed, coming up beside him and looping her arm around his. "you should have listened to me."
"we should have dropped breadcrumbs."
"come on, i think i know how to get us out of here." she giggled, grabbing his hand. "maybe it's time you let me take the lead."
zhou followed her, a lovestruck look on his face as he watched y/n pick her way back the way that they came, and then down the cetner path.
when that path eventually got them turned around as well, all zhou could do was laugh.
"you were saying?"
"shut up. do you remember how we got here?"
it was a sheer miracle that they found their way out before sundown, but they managed, the sun low in the sky as they emerged triumphantly from the mouth of the maze, y/n's arms pumping up and down in triumph. zhou reached for her hand, pulling her in for a quick kiss when he was certain that nobody could see them.
"you're a genuis, babe." he gushed, draping his jacket over her shoulders. "now, do you want the petting zoo or the apple cider?"
"why not both? we have all night before the maze changes over to the haunted house experience."
"you mean we have to go through that thing again? but this time with animatronics and men in costumes?"
"um, of course! but we know the way through this time!"
he laughed as he squeezed her shoulder.
"you're lucky i love you."
