Childhood best friends lestappen is so sweet 🥰!!! They’re so oblivious to their feelings for each other, and they even don’t know that everyone think they’re mated. They truly act like a couple, Charles always sits in Max lap even if there are free seats (but Maxie’s lap is more comfy 🥺), and they have a tradition since karting days of Max kissing Charles’ forehead and Charles kissing Max’s nose good luck before the races (for some reason I see Max being 5cm taller than Charles here, just enough that he has to be on tiptoes to kiss his nose). They’re always going out together in Monaco, Charles walking a few steps is front of Max and pointing to something at the Dior’s window display and Max just smiling at him and nodding for him to go in there while he’s carrying a lot of bags from Charles shopping spree.
Hi Anon 💓💓💓
Feelings Realization AU: Part 1
(Ohhhh boy it's been a while since we added to this AU 🥹)
Anonnnn the way I was giggling, nodding, and smiling along as I read this ask?? Ahhh this AU is quickly becoming one of the sweetest little tales because Max and Charles are sooo oblivious but so precious??
The way they're always rushing to each other's garages or motorhomes to get their pre-race kiss and everyone being so accustomed to it they're just like, "Ah, just Max and Charles being Max and Charles."
The two of them always flying home together—first using commercial airlines and then in Max's private jet. The first time Charles stepped foot on AirMax the Alpha immediately swept his best friend up in his arms, spinning Charles around in the middle of the plane as the Omega giggled and blushed and yelled out Maxie!
Every single one of the cabin crew being so charmed that they finally get to see their new boss's adorable boyfriend that they mention it to other people in the aviation industry and soon, news travels all around the world that Mad Max has somehow managed to win over the heart of Ferrari's principessa.
(When Max and Charles learn that everyone thinks they're "together," Charles just blinks up, confused. "Of course we are always together," he pouts, "he's my Maxie, my best friend, who else would he spend his time with?" And Max over here just nodding along, holding Charles's purse and high heels while the Omega tries on new shoes like yeah, you tell 'em Charlie, I got your Louboutins 😌)
And don't even get me started on the dates.
You see in Part 1 how Charles was basically planning out his evening with Max and lowkey being annoyed he had to be on a date with his boyfriend? Well Max doesn't even bother with dates—he hooks up with other Omegas and that's about it. When asked why he doesn't date, the Alpha just shrugs and replies: "Spending time with Charles is better than any date. I like him more than any Omega I've ever been with."
But even better:
Whenever Charles goes on a date Max immediately heads over to his best friend's apartment, makes himself cozy by scenting literally everything in sight, and then texting Charles nonstop during the date: Sending him memes, videos, chatting about everything and nothing. One time Max engaged Charles in a heated battle over which cat toy was Sassy's favorite and the argument got so intense Charles straight up left the date to go to a pet store and buy a dozen cat toys just to prove Max wrong.
(Max doesn't know why he feels so smug and pleased whenever Charles cuts a date short because of him. He doesn't know why he rushes to scent Charles as soon as he gets back, the Alpha massaging his best friend's aching feet and calves before listening intently to Charles's retelling of the date. Max doesn't even realize he's shitting on every single date—all he knows is his comments make Charles laughs. And that's what matters.)
Meanwhile whenever Max has a hookup Charles literally shows up to the Alpha's penthouse right as the other Omega is leaving. The Ferrari driver just shoving his way inside, eagerly wrapping his arms around a still sweaty Max, wrinkling his nose at the smell of another Omega, and pouting: "Shower time Maxie." Charles then going into the kitchen to prepare snacks and treats for movie night before he's sitting between the Dutchman's legs, back pressed against the Red Bull driver's chest, Max's hand over his shoulder, and Charles occasionally kissing his wrist and fingertips.
(Charles doesn't know why he feels the need to immediately stake his claim on Max every time his best friend finishes a hookup. Doesn't know why he demands Max tell him about these hookups just so Charles can decimate each and every one of them by walking around in Max's shirts and reminding the Alpha just who the #1 Omega in his life should be.)
These two bumbling fools are walking around, acting like feral cats, and not even realizing it 😭😭😭

MONTREAL, CANADA - JUNE 12: Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Ferrari looks on in the paddock with Charles Leclerc of Monaco and Ferrari during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Canada at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on June 12, 2025 in Montreal, Canada.
Let's not joke around, if charles ever went to toto and told him he'd like to drive for merc, the one getting dropped is russell, not antonelli... I know my goat 🫶
please i think it's so fucking funny to see the furious british warriors in the replies and quotes arguing it's NOT TRUE and george was MANAGING and these cars ARE NEW and he'll be BETTER next time like leclerc hasn't outwitted him every single time they were car to car in on track together
i mean you do you and you believe what you want, but it's pretty obvious why the tps rate him higher than your favorite drivers despite all desperate attempts at artificially pretending otherwise in the so called "season rankings" — they do have eyes
the only thing keeping this fruitful conversation ongoing is the fact that ferrari has blood on their hands for only allowing him eight wins. if he had 20+ wins like he deserves, we wouldn't be having these conversations. it would be a long drawn conclusion
