Arvid Lindblad x Kimi Antonelli x male!driver!reader
Anyone who watched the 2025 f2 season knew that you and Arvid are rivals on track. Never picking up the slack on each other and constantly butting heads. But the rivalry continued outside of the cars, for example who had more fans, who had better and cooler brand deals, anything and everything that could become competition did. It only escalated when you both moved to f1. Arvid with vcarb and you with Ferrari taking Lewis Hamilton's seat after he retired. The competition for Kimi's attention both started at preseason testing, when you and Kimi were deep in discussion about the cars when Arvid walked up from behind Kimi. Seeing this you switch from talking in English to talking in Italian, and giving Arvid the stink eye. He turns to go talk to Isack, leaving you and Kimi to yourselves. later that day you run into Arvid in the restrooms. he turns and sees you. "What the hell was that for earlier?" he sounded pissed. You turn towards him "What are you on about?" " That stunt you pulled with Kimi earlier. It was fucking childish." He grumbled before storming out of the bathroom.
Arvid made sure to get back at you at the season opener. The sun was beating down on the tarmac as you all got together to take the group photo. Even though Charles and Liam were in between you and Arvid you could still hear his British accent floating through the air, yapping to Kimi about some overtake he did on you in Barcelona last year. You remember all too well. You locked up at just the wrong moment and Arvid jumped ahead to take the win. It was more of a luck thing and not really Arvid's overtaking abilities in your opinion. Just as you were about to say something the photographer yelled for everybody's attention to get the photo taken. you could only roll your eyes and try and look decent for the photo.
It reached a boiling point at the Chinese grand Prix. You had gotten your first podium and Kimi had won. When you finally get back from the celebrations in the paddock you finally make it to the club that Kimi had invited you and a few other drivers to, you can make out Kimi dancing with some guy who looked suspiciously like Arvid. Whatever you think as you make your way over to the bar for a drink. Then one turns into two and two turns into a few and next thing you know you're pressed in-between two bodies on the dance floor and hearing something about going back to the hotel.
You wake up that morning to a pounding headache and a sore body buried under a mountain of soft white sheets. As you blink awake you are greeted by the image of none other than the back of a shirtless Arvid lindblad. Jesus fucking Christ you had made some questionable decisions in your life but this one has to top them all by a long shot. As you turn your head you see Kimi pulling a shirt on. He turns towards you and Arvid and notices you are awake seeing that he smugly says "hopefully last night resolved any ill feelings towards eachother? It's getting quite old" he said before leaving the hotel room.
After china the other drivers and the fans noticed the lack of tension between you and Arvid, much to your pr managers delight the two of you had stopped making backhanded comments to eachother in the media pen and the glares that could cut glass were gone. And if anyone asked why? All you say is that you and Arvid had a very good chat. With the help of Kimi of course.
