Ourselves and all things at your whim. Seb/Mick, 6.1k, general audiences. Based on (a prequel???? to) @rosyjuly's spoils of war.
“Your majesty…?” Mick’s brilliant blue eyes pierce the silence. He’s moved his bishop’s pawn up two spaces, into the square threatened by Sebastian’s pawn. Ironic, Sebastian thinks: the King’s Gambit.
“For now, I think it’s best we stick to the terms of the agreement,” Sebastian replies. He tries to sound matter-of-fact, but Mick looks chastised regardless, his eyes flicking back down to the chess board.
“Of course,” he says, uncharacteristically meek.
Sebastian hovers a finger over his king’s pawn. Even now, he would be justified in locking Mick in the castle dungeons—Toto’s exact course of action might not be evident yet, but there’s no doubt as to his intentions, and Sebastian should respond in kind. Know I will not show you mercy, he should say. Know what awaits allies who betray me.
Has anyone written a Sewis fic where Ferrari!Lewis is sent back in time to meet Ferrari!Seb or Ferrari!Seb is sent forward in time to meet Ferrari!Lewis? I don't know why this just came to mind but I think it would fuck severely.
I bought a .pdf to print and use in 2024, and enjoyed the process, but wanted to futz around and dig into more detail, so this year I started my own in an ancient Moleskine that I'd had sitting around (it's like ten years old and the cover is falling apart, so I need to shore it up with still more packing tape). Let's take a tour~~
I have covered the covers with stickers that @heck sent me!
The first section is the details of all the constructors, in order of when they first entered F1, plus each team's two drivers (also in the order of when they joined the team). The stats are as of the start of 2026 since obviously wins and podiums and things will change as the season goes on. The exact format got wobbly as I went on because I kept thinking of additional things I wanted to include.
I've also picked a unique ink color for each team, lmao. All the pens I've used in this are Pilot G2 ballpoint gel pens, which are my favorite reasonably-priced pen by FAR. They're soo smooth to write with and their selection of colors is extremely robust. The ink does take a while to dry on this paper, though. (The exception is the gray, which Pilot didn't seem to have or I couldn't find, so instead I am using a Staedtler Triplus, which is not ballpoint but it does the job and doesn't look too obviously different.)
Then there's a 2025 recap, and my 2026 predictions which I will NOT share so I don't jinx them!
Next is the season schedule (I still need to fill out which races are sprint races, blughh), followed by a tracker for the WDC points after each weekend. I'm trying to note when drivers go up or down in the standings with the green or red arrows, and I wish I could do that more visually but I couldn't really figure out a better way. Maybe for 2027 I will come up with something that shows the order more intuitively.
THEN it is the RACES!
Each race weekend takes up about four pages. First page is the circuit details (again, these are wiggling around a lot as I change my mind about what and how to include), and FP1 + FP2 (or FP1 + sprint quali). Usually these have more notes about what happened, but that's hard for the sprint weekends as obviously that takes up more space.
(I need a yellow pen for medium tires/second sector.)
Second page is FP3 + quali, or sprint results + quali. Quali results get everyone's best lap time for their final session--noting these down is really interesting to me because sometimes you'll have a driver get a worse time in Q3 than they ended Q2 with, for instance, or a worse time than a driver who didn't make it out of the previous session, and I wish I could more clearly indicate when there's an interesting difference across the same driver's sessions, who improves the most between sessions, etc.
The third page is race notes, which I try to write down as I'm watching, and the fourth is final results and stats. Sometimes this is difficult because the broadcast'll only show, for example, the race's top measured speed for a few moments on screen and it never seems to go on the website later! Wikipedia's pages for the individual races are very useful for filling this out, though, and I've mostly been filling in the final results the next day (although it doesn't help that these races have all been in the late late evening lmao, so I have been GOING TO BED afterwards instead of filling out everything).
I am really enjoying doing this because it gives me time and reason to reflect on events and patterns. The lack of penalties and incidents to investigate is interesting, I think. I was also amused to see, as I was writing down the driver bios, just how many had started at Toro Rosso/AlphaTauri/VCARB/Racing Bulls compared to the rest of the teams.
Another thing I want to do for 2027 is to have a section with more detail about the tracks, like, full track maps with details about specific locations. Turn names, elevation changes, maybe even like, rudimentary heat maps with the locations of the most crashes or track limit violations.
Anyway! That's my race journal!! If you're doing the same thing, you should show me!!! In fact, shout-out to @onadarklingplain who showed me pictures of her journal, which were very helpful in plotting out how to do mine! <3
hi, about the bingo card: since oscar crashed before the race, does this mean that since mclaren only ran one car that weekend and that counts towards the bingo?
Hello, and thank you for asking! Because Oscar did go out to do reconnaissance laps and he would have raced if he hadn't crashed, I'm going to say this does not count. My intent for this square was for a team not intending for one of their cars to run the race at all, such as when Williams only ran Alex Albon's car in 2024. You can compare the FIA's official Final Starting Grid for Australia 2024, in which Logan is not present as he had previously been withdrawn, versus the Final Starting Grid for Australia 2026 in which Oscar is present. Hopefully this distinction makes sense!
Thank you for playing and I hope you're having fun! <3
Alex’s breath catches, arms up like a bird in flight. He’s not sure what he’s expecting, coming face to face with himself. It isn’t a blur of giant nose pores as George pushes past him, that’s for sure, but that's what he gets. Alex’s head really is giant. Alex lowers his arms.
George gives him a withering look, which in Alex’s body produces forehead wrinkles like the chins on a pug. Alex makes a mental note to never do that once if he gets back in there. When. When he gets back in there.
What if you're depressed after being dumped by Red Bull and then wake up in the body of your friend who is still on the grid. A romance.

Clarifications on a few squares below:
Credible fraud accusation: Not rumors or gossip, but an accusation brought through appropriate legal channels of actual fraud on the part of a team/driver/principal.
Delay due to IT fail: An IT disaster of some kind (like an internet or service outage) results in a session or race being delayed.
Driver announces engagement, marriage, or pregnancy: This is what it says on the tin but I did want to clarify, this must be during the season, so you can't count Alex and Lily's engagement.
Egregious use of AI: Arguably any use of AI is egregious, but this specifically refers to a major piece of promotional art, a trophy design, multiple paragraphs or minutes of speech, etc.
GR1: George Russell wins the WDC (thus getting to use the number 1).
Hog on main: A driver posts a selfie in which you can see the clear and indisputable outline/shape of his dick. It cannot be vague or plausibly explained by clothing folds.
Lewis’s tits kill a fascist: Lewis posts a shirtless thirst trap, and within 48 hours, a fascist, dictatorial, or otherwise far-right public figure dies/is deposed/loses their job. Yes, this counts Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
Mechanical failure on the starting grid: A mechanical issue results in the car not able to leave its grid box. This could either be for the formation lap or for the actual race start.
Nico Rosberg selfie curse: Nico Rosberg posts a selfie in front of the garage of a team who subsequently vastly underperforms.
Someone “banned from the paddock” is in the paddock: Sorry, you don’t get to count Flavio Briatore since his ban was overturned. This square counts the presence of anyone with an ACTIVE ban, such as Nelson Piquet.

F1 RPF | Lewis Hamilton/Peter Bonnington | BDSM AU | 4k | rated e
“Do you want to tell me what to do?” Peter offers. It could help settle Lewis, maybe, reassure him of his dominance, let him feel in control after a day of being out of it. Lewis’ shoulders come in and Peter feels a pang. He reaches out and squeezes Lewis’ shoulder. “It’s okay.”
Lewis makes a small noise in the back of his throat and crumples—no. He folds down. It’s a deceptively quick transition to his knees, head bowed, hand clasped around his wrist behind him. Peter almost takes a step back in shock and stops himself in time. This can’t be right. Lewis, three time world champion, cannot be a sub. But he’s kneeling in front of Peter.
