Could you do on where little leclerc is doing a Victoria secret runway and like the grids and WAGs reaction to it
( her brothers being over protective & grid falling even more in love ect)
Victoria's Secret
The moment the news are publishing that none other than Yn Leclerc will walk on the Victoria's Secret runway, the show gets sold out in a matter of minutes.
The drivers, along with the WAGs, quickly brought every available ticket. Fernando even went as far as buying three seats for himself, not wanting to have anyone sit next to him.
The only one who didn't have to buy any tickets was the Leclerc family, who git their tickets from Yn themselves. She was very proud of her achievement and wanted all of her family there with her.
What her brothers weren't expecting was, to see the grid at the fashion show.
Carlos and Rebecca were sitting in the front row, cameras already ready. George and Carmen had the biggest bouquet ready for Yn. Oscar and Lando were already chatting with Lewis about what Yn would possibly wear.
Her brothers certainly weren't happy to see all of them there, but sadly couldn't convince the security to escort these idiots out.
The show started and it truly was magnificent. However, when Yn stepped out, the applause went crazy. Every audience member, no matter if family, driver, WAG or someone else, went crazy when they saw Yn.
She looked like a dream. A perfectly fitted lilac lingerie outfit along with some stunning white angel wings were adoring the beautiful body of Yn Evangeline Leclerc.
What Charles certainly didn't appreciate was Landos reaction. He didn't hesitate to hit the Brit over the head before going back to applauding his baby sister.
The second the show stopped, it was like a race started. The drivers tried to be the first one by Yn side backstage, feeling no remorse when they shoved and tripped each other.
However, all of their effort was for nothing, seeing as Kelly and Max were already with Yn backstage, feeding her tiny muffins and praising her to the moon and back.
âOkay, thatâs the Ferrari garage just there,â he said, slowing to a stop in front of the bright red blur of it all. âLooks very cool, no?â
She nodded, wide-eyed. She was wearing one of her brotherâs vintage Ferrari jackets. It hung off of her, but it was so cosy. âItâs huge.â
âYouâre tiny, so everything feels huge.â
She elbowed him in the ribsâlightly, but enough to make him laugh.
Then a voice called out from behind them.
âNo way. Is this the famous baby Leclerc?â
She turned just as a grinning man in a blinding McLaren kit jogged over.
Oh. Lando.
She knew him from the races, obviously. But also from the YouTube videos Charles let her watchâusually late at night with popcorn when they were supposed to be asleep.
âHi,â she said shyly.
Lando crouched slightly to meet her height, even though he was only an inch or two taller than she was. âHi! I thought Charles had made you up to win sympathy points.â
She blinked at him.
âI do not need sympathy points,â Charles deadpanned.
âYou do when you qualify P19.â
âLando.â He cursed.
She giggled.
And the nerves began to fade.
â
By the time Max had given her a familiar fist bump and George offered her a sip of his iced coffee (âyouâre a child, you donât need caffeine,â Charles had immediately protested), she was smiling for real.
She sat in the Ferrari hospitality with Carlos, who insisted she try every flavour of Italian cookie, and played Mario Kart with Mick on her switch that Charles had remembered to stuff into her backpack.
Every time Charles glanced her way, she was either laughing or quietly watching everything, soaking it all in with a curiosity that reminded him so painfully of when she first moved in with himâwide-eyed, unsure, but eager to belong.
âYou okay?â He asked as they walked back to the motorhome after lunch.
She looked up at him, cheeks flushed from the sun. Sunblock, he thought with a self-deprecating frown. Thatâs what heâd forgotten. âI really love it here.â She whispered.
He smiled so wide it hurt.
âGood,â he said, tugging her hood up over her head. Sun protection. âBecause youâre stuck with me now. Forever. So youâll probably spend more time at tracks like this than at school â but we wonât tell anyone that.â
She rolled her eyes but leaned into his side anyway.
And when the race ended hours laterâwhen she waited at the back of the garage, clutching a team radio and bouncing on her toes as he stepped out of the car, sweaty and grinning and exhaustedâhe didnât hesitate.
Helmet off. Arms open.
She ran straight into them.
âP2,â he said breathlessly into her hair. âFor you.â
She beamed up at him. âI want to see you win, though!â
Charles blinked. Laughed. Shook his head. âAh. Okay. You are definitely my sister.â

"A lot of the album was inspired by my relationship. When youâre around someone who lives life at that pace , the racing world, the travel, the noise, it changes the way you write."
He also talked about meeting YNâs family and being around Formula 1:
"Itâs a completely different universe. I remember going to my first race and thinking, âthis is insane.â But her family made it feel very normal very quickly. Theyâre very loud, very competitive, very funny."
When asked about the piano ballad, Harry smiled and said: "I did have a bit of help from someone who spends a lot of time around pianos⊠you might recognize him."

When asked about race week, Charles joked: "Honestly I think my sister is more excited about the album coming out than the first race of the season. Which⊠I donât fully appreciate considering what I do for a living. Sheâs been talking about it for months. Every time I see her she says something like âyouâll understand when you hear it.â So now Iâm curious."
He also addressed the piano ballad rumors from the album: "Iâve heard one of the songs, yes. The piano ballad people keep asking about. Itâs very good actually. But I think thatâs all Iâm allowed to say before I get in trouble."

user1 âarthur interrogating me in the family groupchatâ đ
Imagine Kimi going to George and Max for advice on how to ask out a girl to a date. And they like give him the advise, not knowing he is talking about little Leclerc. And when Kimi goes like âokay Iâll ask Ynâ George and Max look at him like that đłđ±đ€Ż
Ooooh myyyy goooooddddd!!! I am obsessed !!!
Kimi had spent the last twenty minutes pacing outside the driversâ room trying to convince himself this was a bad idea. Unfortunately, there was literally nobody else he trusted enough to ask. Which was how he ended up pushing the door open and finding Max and George exactly where he expected them to be. Sitting together on the couch like two middle-aged dads reviewing race trauma.
âMate, Iâm telling you,â George said dramatically, âthat corner hated me personally.â Max snorted. âNo, your braking did.â Meanwhile, Kimi lingered awkwardly by the door, instantly regretting everything. George noticed first. âWhy are you standing there like a Victorian child about to deliver terrible news?â Kimi blinked. âWhat?â âYou look nervous,â Max translated, far less politely.
Kimi shoved his hands into the pockets of his hoodie, rocking slightly on his feet. âI just wanted to ask something.â Now both of them looked concerned. âOkayâŠâ George said carefully. Kimi hesitated for a second before mumbling, âHow do you ask a girl out?â The room went quiet. Max actually looked offended by the question. âYou came to us?â âWell, I couldnât ask Carlos,â Kimi muttered. âThat is actually fair,â George admitted.
Kimi looked genuinely stressed now, so the teasing softened immediately. George sat forward a little. âAlright, first of all be nice. Like properly nice, not weird nice.â âBring flowers,â Max added seriously. âGirls love flowers.â âAnd plan the date,â George continued. âDonât just say âwanna hang out.â Thatâs terrifying.â âAlso shower,â Max said. George stared at him. âThat should be obvious.â âYouâd think so.â
Kimi laughed quietly, finally relaxing a bit while they kept throwing advice at him like concerned older brothers. Open doors, donât talk too much about racing, always listen carefully to what she is saying, etc. After another few minutes of advise, he started backing toward the door before pausing. âThanks, guys. I just really hope Yn says yes.â And then he walked out, looking much happier than when he came in.
The door clicked shut. George and Max slowly turned to look at each other. ââŠYn?â George repeated carefully. Max looked like heâd just watched a car crash happen in slow motion. âYn Leclerc?â he asked. Charles Leclercâs little sister entire world and universe. Georgeâs eyes widened immediately. âOh, heâs dead.â Max dropped his head into his hands. âCharles is going to kill him. Publicly.â George was already standing up. âNo, no, I have to stop this before it becomes a paddock incident.â
He hurried out of the room. âKIMI, WAIT-â Meanwhile Max stayed exactly where he was, staring into the distance. âThis is how wars begin,â he muttered to himself.
Hi! I love your writings..can I request something where his daughter is super shy and always clings to his leg when theyâre at the paddock? The drivers try to say hi to her but she just hides behind Charles every time. Then suddenly, she starts talking to Kimi out of nowhere and everyoneâs like âwait⊠she talks???â đ„č
fire and water for your love
charles observes the chaos brought forth by his daughter [first name]âs presence at the paddock.

[First name] may be the light of the Leclercsâ lives, but she is also very particular on who she welcomes into her exclusive circle. Not even her own godfather Pierreâwho has been in her life since she was bornâhas won an invitation.
Her father, Charles, never forces her to broaden her circle. Instead, he subtly creates opportunities for her to do so, like her occasionally bringing her to grand prix events. Her attendance today is one of those days.
Charles watches her with a fond smile, one hand wrapped around her small one. Her other hand is clutched to her beloved black dragon plush. She says nothing as they walk down the paddock, but her unvoiced fascination is obvious in the way her head swivels, eyes wide and taking in everything around her.
"Thereâs my favorite Leclerc!" Pierre appears seemingly out of nowhere, brighter and peppier than usual.
On cue, [First name]âs grip tightens, and she shrinks behind Charlesâs leg, hiding as much of herself as she can while peaking just enough to keep the newcomer in sight. He gives her hand a gentle squeeze, a wordless gesture of comfort.
He matches Pierreâs playful energy, "I knew you love me!"
His best friend pays him no mind and squats in front of [First name] with a wide grin. "Bonjour, [First name]!"
In lieu of a verbal "hello," she simply moves one of her dragonâs front paws in a silent wave.
Charles doesnât dwell on [First name]âs bashfulness. A big part of him finds it incredibly endearing that his daughter trusts him to be her safe harbor and shield. Another part finds it equally amusing to watch her pseudo-unclesâthe other driversâtry and fail to win her over.
He then opens his arms for a hug, hopeful. There have been rare, miraculous times she has accepted that request, and he has been taking his chances for another miracle ever since. Alas, he isnât destined to find out if todayâs one of those days.
"[First name]!" A new voice chimes in. "Youâre here today!" Itâs Lando, laughing as he practically jogs towards them.
Behind him, Alex follows at a more relaxed pace. "Baby Leclerc!"
Pierre sighs, recognizing his chance to earn her attention for the day officially gone.
"What am I, chopped liver?" Charles asks, feigning a huff. His heart, however, melts at all the attention his daughter is getting.
"Donât take it to heart," George says, joining their rapidly growing crowd. "We just saw your ugly mug yesterday."
His gasp of offense is audibly, comically real. No one bothers to comment, as their undivided attention is rightly directed at the three-and-a-half behind him.
In contrast to everyone else who has greeted her thus far, Oscar makes no grand commotion. He simply squats quietly near [First name]. "Heya, kiddo," he greets softly, holding up an open palm for a high five.
Wordlessly, [First name] obliges, moving her plushâs paw to touch his hand. A tiny, almost imperceptible smile plays on her lips before she shrinks further behind her fatherâs leg. She lets go of his hand in favor of holding onto his leg.
Itâs a small victory, but it doesn't go unnoticed. The crowd, starving for any ounce of her attention, collectively perks up.
"I want a high-five, too!" Yuki exclaims.
"Can I get a âhello,â cariño?" Fernando asks.
"How about a fist bump?" Gabriel wonders.
"I just want to hear her say anything," Esteban voices everyoneâs thoughts. "A âtontonâ would be nice, though."
Charles feels her small hand tighten into a death grip on his leg, and makes the call. "Alright, everyone. Don't overwhelm my baby." He lifts [First name] into his arms, and she immediately latches onto his neck, burying her face in his shoulder. "I'll catch you guys later."
He hears a quick, collective sound of disappointment behind him, which is ultimately replaced by a lively farewell. "Bye-bye, [First name]!"
Once theyâre far enough away, [First name] finally finds her voice. "Tonton loud," she whispers into his neck.
"They are, arenât they?" He chuckles softly. He soothes her back with gentle strokes. "Did they scare you?"
"Non," she admits, shaking her head against his shoulder. "Papa here. No scared."
Charles holds her tighter with a kiss, and [First name] sighs in contentment as the world outside their bubble fades away.
Charles knows better than to think the earlier ambush for her attention would be the last for today. After all, it isnât his first time bringing his three-and-a-half-year-old daughter to the paddock.
As such, he also has no doubt that while everyone from earlier carried their chaos into the group chatâ
NOR: How did you get [First name] to smile at you??? @/PIA
GAS: @/PIA
ALB: @/PIA
PIA: Stop pinging me
TSU: Teach us your ways àČ„âżàČ„
LAW: Donât gatekeep
PIA: She just likes me because Iâm her âbrotherâ
RUS: Thatâs so last season
COL: I call bull
BOR: Did you make a contract with the devil?
âthe rest are quietly strategizing to maximize their chances to win [First name] over.
To dissuade anyone from immediately setting their plans in motion, Charles takes his daughter with him to the team meeting. Sheâs a quiet additional presence, content on his lap with her dragon plush and her own headset. No one on the team minds her being there.
His race engineer Bryan even joins the others in saying "hi" and patting her head.
(They have done it frequently enough for [First name] to eventually mimic it with her plushâpatting its head before nodding sagely to herself.)
However, his teammate Lewis seems to have taken the lead. He has taught [First name] how to fist bump with a slight flair, and she has laughed in amusement. Not only that, but she has promptly initiated for a second one as well.
For a group deeply interested in winning her over and one-upping each other, this is truly a monumental feat; something that needs to be bragged about.
"Wait âtil they hear about this!" Lewis celebrates, heading to his seat with his phone in hand.
Unfortunately, braggable as it may be, itâs also a seemingly impossible accomplishment to believe. The othersâ egos and jealousy strongly prevent them from accepting the new feat theyâll need to beat without any proof.
Fortunately, Ferrariâs social media admin has apparently caught the moment on camera. Yet, still, he and Lewis unanimously vote to keep the evidence within the team for the time being: Charles wants to delay the inevitably more intense efforts, Lewis wants to relish his triumph and their denial.
Truthfully, Charles is the least surprised to hear [First name] laugh while in the paddock. He has faith that his efforts to help her expand her exclusive circle is effective; itâs just a matter of when [First name] feels ready. And, apparently, today is the start of it all.
Now, heâs just anticipating if anyone today will succeed in making her talk to them.
Thirty minutes after meeting, and five minutes after [First name] comfortably settles onto a custom-made Ferrari high chair, Carlos appears in the Ferrari motorhome with an unopened pack of snack.
"Cariño, you hungry?" Like Pierre had earlier in the day, his presence interrupts [First name]âs serene before she can even fully appreciate her new surroundings. "I brought you your favorite."
[First name]âs eyes widen, curious and expectant, as they follow the snack Carlos hands over to Charles.
Charles canât help but laugh. "This is why you asked me what [First name] likes to eat?"
Bribes are hardly surprisingâespecially with how effective they are with childrenâbut they donât always work on his daughter. Still, out of everyone competing for her attention, he never imagined the first one to go that route would be his former teammate, who is also the second paddock uncle she has met after her godfather.
"Of course," Carlos confirms with utmost confidence. He gives [First name]âs cheek a light pinch, which she ignoresâher eyes still on the snack. "I wonât be losing to Oscar."
Charles carefully opens the packaging and hands her a piece. She immediately puts it in her mouth. "You mean Lewis. He made her laugh."
"I mean," his friend starts, watching as she asks for another piece with puppy eyes and her palm up, "she seems pretty happy right now. Arenât you, cariño?"
[First name] answers by offering him a piece. She stretches her arm up high, akin to trying to reach the stars, and opens her mouth as if beckoning him to copy her.
Carlos kneels like a knight in front of her, and accepts her offering like someone who just swore his loyalty. "Thank you, [First name]. Youâre very kind."
Charles, who has been reigning in his laughter at the theatrics, completely loses it when his daughter flashes a gummy smile before offering him another piece.
"I believe this crowns me as the favorite," Carlos triumphantly announces. He opts not to dignify it.
Charles, as much as he expects nothing, certainly didnât expect to return to his Ferrari garage and find his daughter comfortably perched on Kimiâs lap.
He feels like he missed a lifetime in the twenty-five minutes he spent outside his garage. Howâ?
[First name] is talking to someone whose surname isnât Leclerc in the paddock. Finally.
"Thatâs awesome, [First name]," Kimi comments, his tone just as animated. Judging by the easy back-and-forth, they seem to be conversing for a long while now. Yet, Charles knows that canât actually be the case. It simply couldn't have been. He just left her a short while ago, quiet and clinging to his leg. "Sono sicura che Max sarĂ contentissimo di sapere che ti Ăš piaciuto tanto il suo regalo!" ["I'm sure Max will be super happy to know you liked his gift so much!"]
Still, a part of him is inclined to think otherwise.
She hums in noncommittal agreement. "Papa put la sella on Toothless," ["Papa put the saddle on Toothless,"] she continues, her words a mix of English and Italian. "Poi Ollie un test drive!" ["Then Ollie (did) a test drive!"]
Charles has a lot of questions but he holds off, choosing to bask in [First name]âs newest milestone.
But, alas, the crowd behind him can only delay for so long. "She talks?!" Liamâs voice rings out, followed by a chorus of murmurs. Theyâre audiblyâand visiblyâflabbergasted.
Kimi stands up in surprise, carrying [First name] with the ease of a seasoned older brother. "Guys!" His face lights up when his eyes lands on Charles. He gently coaxes the toddler out of hiding on his shoulder. "[First name], your Papaâs here."
Like a magic charm, she immediately moves to find him, her face brightening just like Kimi did. He mightâve traveled around the world and seen countless of breathtaking scenery, but thisâhis daughter lightening up when she sees himâis still one of the best sights heâs seen by far.
[First name] nods eagerly, burying her face into the crook of his neck for a moment before looking back at Kimi.
"[First name]âs been a great company," Kimi politely corroborates. "She has a lot to say."
Charles chuckles, shifting his daughter to a more comfortable position on his hip. "She usually reserves the paddock debrief until sheâs off the property and sure no one else can hear."
[First name] just looks at him, her expression a perfect mix of solemnity and disinterest, unmoved.
A small snicker ripples through the crowd.
Max plows forward before anyone can laugh too long at Pierreâs misfortune. "I believe I just won our little bet."
"Waitâ Noâ Howâ?" A chorus of confused protests erupts.
"We heard [First name] say my name first."
"Thatâs not exactly the bet, though, is it?" Nico counters. "[First name]âs supposed to be saying your name to you." He gestures between Max and the toddler.
Honestly, Charles is lost. Heâs not sure if he already knows about this bet and just forgot, or if he never knew in the first place. He suspects the latter. Either way, as entertaining as it is, he needs them to zip it now before they scare his daughter with all their inevitably raised voices.
"[First name] clearly picks Kimi as the winner," he points out, subtly moving one shoulder as if to gesture see? without actually saying it.
He watches as the crowd takes note of how [First name] has shifted to his other side to be closer to Kimi, her tiny fingers reaching out to lightly touch his sleeve. A perpetual, innocent smile seems to have etched itself onto her face as she gazes up at him.
"Kimiâs not even part of the betâ" Lance starts.
"[First name], whoâs this?" Charles tries to put a definitive end to it, pointing to the younger Mercedes driver.
Much to the restâs heartbreak and resulting cuteness aggression, [First name]âs response comes with a delighted squeal, her eyes still on Kimi. "Kimi!"
Charles sees Ollie in his peripheral vision, dramatically clutching his chest and leaning on Esteban for support. "God, she sounds so cute. My heart canât take this."
Isack does something similarly dramatic, wiping a nonexistent tear from his eye. "Kimi is the chosen one."
As does Franco, who sighs theatrically. "I wanted to be the chosen one."
Charles considers the relative silence of their collective heartbreak a win. [First name] is thriving and undisturbed as she plays with Kimi while still in his arms. Sheâs content and happy, as far as he can tell.
But, alasâ "We can still fight for second!" Lando declares, instantly reigniting the rivalry.
Omg wait, the shirt story was so cute! What about CL16 being a new dad and his baby girl loves sleeping in the car and maybe the fans have noticed that he is driving slower? I hope that makes sense
Baby on board [CL16)
Summary: Charles newborn baby girl Yn loves to sleep in the car. So Charles doesn't hesitate to drive her around Monaco whenever she wants.
Authors Note: Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy this story. I tried to add my own special touch in this and added a "social media" part? (Idk what it's actually called). Thank you to this lovely user for this sweet request.
Seems like Monaco's darling Charles Leclerc has started some interesting driving habits. Apparently the driver was not only seen out driving at very weird times, but he always drove very slowly. What could be going on with Leclerc?

The apartment was quiet in that very particular way that only existed after midnight in Monaco.
Not the glamorous, postcard Monaco. Not the yachts or champagne or music drifting through open balconies. This was the soft, sleepy versionâstreetlights humming gently, the distant echo of waves somewhere below the cliff, and the low ticking of a kitchen clock that Charles had forgotten to turn off.
Yn was awake.
He knew it before she made a sound.
Charles lay on his side on the couch, one arm draped awkwardly around a folded blanket, eyes half-open, listening. He held his breath, counting in his head.
One.
Two.
Threeâ
A tiny noise broke the silence. Not a full cry. Just a soft, confused whimper, like she wasnât sure yet whether she wanted to be upset.
He padded barefoot across the living room toward the bassinet by the window. Yn lay bundled in pale pink, impossibly small, her fists tucked close to her chest. Her face scrunched up as she blinked, dark lashes fluttering.
Charles leaned over her, heart doing that stupid painful thing it had been doing since the day she was born.
âHow are you this tiny,â he murmured. âYouâre not real.â
Her lip trembled.
âOkay, okay,â he said quickly, sliding his hands beneath her with practiced care. He lifted her against his chest, supporting her head exactly the way the nurse had shown him, the way he had practiced over and over until his movements were muscle memory.
Yn let out a quiet cry. Not loud. Just offended.
âI know,â Charles whispered, swaying gently. âI know. Itâs terrible being awake at two in the morning.â
He walked slow circles around the living room, rocking her softly. He hummed under his breathâsomething tuneless, something his own father used to hum when Arthur was small.
Yn didnât settle.
Her cry grew sharper, her little body stiffening slightly against his chest.
Charles stopped walking.
âHmm,â he murmured, brow furrowing. âOkay. Okay, letâs think.â
He tried the bottle. She took a few sips, then pushed it away, frowning like she was deeply unimpressed.
He changed her diaper, whispering apologies the whole time.
âI know, I know. Worst thing ever. Iâm sorry. I would be mad too.â
Still, she fussed.
Charles sighed quietly and glanced at the clock on the wall.
2:07 a.m.
He looked down at her face, red and scrunched, eyes shiny with tears.
And then he smiled.
âOh,â he breathed, realization clicking into place. âYou want the car.â
It had surprised him the first time it happened.
Sheâd been only a few days old. Nothing had workedârocking, feeding, walking, bouncing on an exercise ball at four in the morning like a man who had completely lost his mind.
Out of sheer desperation, heâd buckled her into the car seat and gone for a drive.
Sheâd fallen asleep before he reached the end of the street.
Since then, it had become their thing.
Charles moved quietly, deliberately, slipping on a hoodie and sneakers while holding Yn against his chest. He grabbed the car seat with his free hand, checkingâagainâthat everything was properly adjusted.
âYou and me,â he whispered to her. âLetâs go.â
The garage echoed softly as he opened the door. The car lights blinked on, gentle and dim, as he settled Yn into her seat with careful hands.
âOkay,â he murmured, leaning in close. âYouâre safe. Papaâs here.â
He kissed her forehead, right between her eyebrows, then straightened and slid into the driverâs seat.
The engine started with a soft purr.
Charles pulled out of the garage and onto the empty street, driving slower than he ever had in his life.
Monaco at night felt like a secret.
The roads were empty, the city hushed, like it was holding its breath. Streetlights cast golden pools on the pavement as Charles drove, one hand on the wheel, the other resting lightly near Ynâs seat as if proximity alone could protect her.
Within minutes, her cries softened.
Then stopped.
Charles glanced in the rearview mirror.
Yn was asleep.
Her mouth had fallen open just slightly, lashes resting against her cheeks. One tiny hand was curled into the fabric of her blanket.
Charles smiled so hard his cheeks hurt.
âOf course,â he whispered. âOf course this works.â
