The F1 Divorce Fest is a prompt meme challenge that aims to shine a spotlight on the teammate pairings that got split up at the end of the 2024 season. It runs from February 12th until July 24th 2025.
How it works
From now until March 31st, you are allowed to submit prompts to the AO3 collection.
From March 16th until May 18th, you can claim one or more of the prompts anonymously. Don't worry - there are open prompts for each ship if none of the ones listed speak to you.
You have until July 3rd to create and submit your work(s). There will be rolling reveals throughout the first "summer break" of the 2025 season (July 7th to July 24th).
FAQ
What ships are allowed for the fest?
The main pairing of your work or prompt has to be one of these:
Alexander Albon/Franco Colapinto
Alexander Albon/Logan Sargeant
Valtteri Bottas/Zhou Guanyu
Pierre Gasly/Esteban Ocon
Lewis Hamilton/George Russell
Nico Hülkenberg/Kevin Magnussen
Liam Lawson/Yuki Tsunoda
Charles Leclerc/Carlos Sainz Jr
Sergio Pérez/Max Verstappen
Daniel Ricciardo/Yuki Tsunoda
Side and background pairings that fall out of line with this list are allowed, but they should not be the focus or endgame ship.
There is a blanket ban on any and all new teammate ships of the divorcees involved in the fest (for example, you would not be allowed to write a fic focusing equally on Charles' relationship with Carlos and with Lewis). Mentions of those other drivers are allowed, but the point of the fest is to highlight the ships listed above! Please use your own discretion.
How long does my submission have to be? What about multi chapter fic?
Minimum word count of 1k, encouraged 1.5k. No Maximum.
Multi chapters are allowed as long as the first chapter fills the word count and you pinky promise to finish them.
Can I prompt and not write? Can I self-prompt?
Yes to both. As both prompting and claiming is anonymous until the reveals, you are free to claim your own prompts.
What if I can't finish my submission by July?
The event is purposefully long, in order to give participants as much time and freedom as possible to complete their works. That said, things can always happen, be that writer's block or IRL, and no one will bite your head off if you cannot fill your prompt in time. Ideally, you let us know so that we aren't in the dark once Jul comes around.
There will be check-ins and writing sprints in the discord, should you want them to hold you accountable. You can also use the channels there to brainstorm and discuss to help your writing process.
What about ratings or darker themes?
As long as the prompt you are filling has not specified any DNWs, you are free to write about any themes, kinks, tropes, and within any ratings and warnings. Remember to tag them properly, and go nuts.
I have a question that hasn't been answered here.
Feel free to send in an ask, DM, or ask for clarification in the Discord.

The event itself allows both explicit content and minors participating and we trust that everyone moderates their online experience accordingly and appropriately. That said, the discord server is 18+. This is for moderation purposes. You are free to claim a prompt and submit a work without participating in the discord.
Is the baby gonna be a copy of Alex or a mix of both cause I imagine the meme of like “nine months in my womb making me suffer,and he looks like his stupid dad” yknow
I haven't decided yet but I do like the idea of making the baby a copy of Alex just for the meme.
Leap into the unknown is making me shake into the orbit and omg i can’t wait to see how George reacts to the baby news.
Thanks! And I can't wait for you guys to get the next chapter! I know it's been a really long time since the last update but I doing my best to get the next chapter out as soon as possible.
I always have fun writing George, I don't know why but I feel like I can just write him as over the top as I want and it still making sense. Hopefully you like the next chapter!
Alex is the more excited of the two concerning the pregnancy. Obviously, Logan is scared, mostly because of the way his body is changing so Alex is clearly more excited.
He has always dreamed of having kids and a big family so he's estatic. He never told Logan, but he wished Logan was pregnant with twins. He always imagined himself being a father to twins but one baby is still fantastic and he can't wait to be a dad
