summary: the f1 drivers make the mistake of saying they're always aware of their surroundings, so you start an Instagram account to prove them wrong...by seeing how long it takes them to realize you're taking photos of them.
warnings: none!

visacashapprb Do your F1 drivers know when we're recording them? Or anyone, for that matter? Seems like the answer is yes!

You hold your hand out to Alex, who reluctantly drops your phone into your palm. Sometimes, you think, people forget you were actual siblings, who had just the same amount of fun annoying each other as any other pair of siblings in the world. The only difference, however, was that your brother happened to be a world-famous F1 driver, and you were a journalist trailing him around all day.
So honestly? You were perfectly within your rights to post all those silly photos of him and his friends. After all, it was something to occupy you in the rare moments you weren't hearing about being an Albon, or growing up around all the drivers, or waiting for Alex to come to an interview ten minutes late because you couldn't really say anything about it.
"I can't believe you," You direct both towards Alex and George, checking to make sure they didn't mess with anything else on your phone.
You had to give them some credit in their retaliation. Alex must have been sneaking photos of you all week, and then airdropped them to your phone to put onto your Instagram account. You'd never say that out loud, however.
Lord knows he didn't need the extra ego.
"Me?" Alex asks, looking rather insulted. "You're the one out here taking photos of us secretly."
"You're the one who said you weren't oblivious. I've seen you walk into a pole! Be serious." There's a joke to be made about him walking into poles yet never getting pole, but that's a bit too harsh, even for you.
"Be serious?" Alex parrots, rubbing a hand over his face. "Be serious! You are so lucky you're family, or I would've kicked you out of the paddock by now."
With the same grin you'd been pulling on him since you were a kid, you force him to reconcile with the fact that he actually did this to himself. "Unfortunately, you did also get me a job with F1, so you couldn't even kick me out if you tried."
"I'm sure they'd let me kick someone out if I needed to." He mutters, shaking his head, and before you can open your mouth, he raises a finger. "We're not making another bet about this."
George, finally content with how the conversation has ended, speaks up. "I can't believe it took Oscar so long to notice."
"I know, I thought it would be Charles." Alex answers honestly, and George pauses for a moment before turning to you.
"Should I be concerned I never caught you taking pictures of me?" His expression is stuck somewhere between the horror of potentially not noticing you and relief that you might have excluded him, considering the deal you struck up. To your surprise, George actually did supply you with oblivious photos of the drivers, a sort of double blackmail you can't wait to spring.
And, while he hasn't ended up on the account yet, there's still time.
He did help steal your phone, after all. He will pay. "I just didn't get to post yours. You're also pretty oblivious."
"No, I'm not!" He says, pointing down at your phone. "We checked the camera roll, there was nothing of me on there!"
"You think I'd leave those on my camera roll?" You ask with the same grin, now pointed at him. "Oh, I keep my secrets much more guarded, thank you." Alex offers a look, and you shove his shoulder. So maybe he had a point about you leaving your phone unattended around a man who knew the password and knew you ran a secret account, but still! "This secret doesn't count."
"I'm sure it doesn't," Alex says with a laugh before leaning in closer. "Any good ones of George?"
"Got one of him picking his nose?"
With a screech you can only describe as inhuman, George loses all the colour in his face. "You do not!" Then, as he reaches for your phone, both you and Alex take a step back. "Albons, don't do this to me!"
You and Alex are running before George even has a chance to catch up.
It's a rare time Alex ever actually beats George in a race.

oblivious_f1_drivers my cover has been blown :( it was fun while it lasted
↳ alex_albon I'm really glad I got you hired as a journalist and not a photographer, these are terrible
↳ oblivious_f1_drivers ow??
↳ oblivious_f1_drivers I can't even be a nepo sister in peace
↳ isackhadjar oh come on
↳ oblivious_f1_drivers your expression captures how I feel, it deserves the first slide
↳ georgerussell63 hey, i thought we had a deal
↳ alex_albon you made a deal with george and not me??
↳ oblivious_f1_drivers @/georgerussell63 the deal ended when YOU STOLE MY PHONE
a/n: my friends have started playing photo tag on campus, which is the only way i can describe where this came from - enjoy?
“you know when you meet someone, and you instantly get a good feeling about them – you have a similar sense of humour and just get on right away? that's exactly what i felt as soon as i got to know lando.”
love when he cosplays as a carhartt corn-fed midwest yankee american baseball player farm boy who drives a tractor to school and helped the family cow give birth and his dating profile pic is him holding a fish (but all in a way that still votes blue)
no you see, even though there were no overtakes, last year’s monaco gp was actually more interesting and entertaining than this one because charles leclerc saw The grandstands he saw built as a kid growing up now rise for him and for the first time in 93 years this fabled race is won by one of their own. Charles Leclerc wins the Monaco grand prix to achieve his dream.
