f1 fics to read when a race like monaco gp 2026 happens - fic rec post
aka my personal favourites that never fail to amaze me, no matter how many times i read them.
this is a sort of a love letter to fanfic writers. all of you mentioned below (and many many more) are just so good at what you do. i’m beyond grateful you decide to take time and effort to bless us with these gorgeous works. i can’t count the times when your fics literally helped me - they’re a distraction, a way to work through something, an inspiration and so much more. i never take it for granted and i hope you feel as appreciated as you deserve to be. all my love ❤️
ps they’re mostly landoscar as i barely read anything else ☺️
ps2 i’m not adding tags and warnings or like proper summaries - check them on ao3 when you click the link

afterburn by @passengerprincipessa
rating: E
pairing: lando/oscar, past charles/lando
comment: this is one of The Landoscar Fics to me. it will drag you through the emotions you never knew were possible. insanely good oscar character study, like out of this world. sometimes i think of afterburn!lando and my heart aches. gorgeous smut with so many feelings that your head spins (oscar’s as well but he’s not good at feeling them)

comment: insanely hot. oscar is such a simp for some landussy, it’s actually insane. the level of dirty talk - through the roof. i reread it probably every week 🫣

comment: lando learns that oscar has a dick piercing and we go down the spiral with him. gosh i love how crazy lando gets for oscar (relatable as fuck). it feels very in character. and the smut is so gorgeous, it kind of overwhelms. my introduction to elle’s lovely writing and it just went uphill from here 🙂↕️

comment: i think everyone in the f1 fandom knows this one. one of the best landoscar au ever. i recently reread it and i cannot get over how well written it is. the mutual pining, the smut, the angst - everything works. it makes me dizzy every time how lando and oscar just work here. the subspace is so beautifully pictured: lando fighting it, oscar wanting lando in there and finding it so hot… idk man it’s just ridiculously good.

comment: listen, i barely read fics that are not finished. but i’m so glad i started this one. just 2 chapters in (even though they’re monstrously long) and it has me in chokehold. the chemistry between lando and oscar, even if shown mostly through chats is just so delicious. i cannot express how excited i am to see what’s next ❤️

comment: this is so filthy it turns off my brain every time i read it. it makes me dizzy the way lando gets so obsessed with oscpussy. their dirty talk is so hot. and the little sequel… don’t even talk to me.

comment: this fic ruined me for real. it may be the first time i’ve literally cried while reading landoscar. even now thinking about it i feel my stomach ache. the way it’s written… beautiful doesn’t even begin to cover it. i got transported into another world, felt everything. god, this oscar, our beautiful depressed omega prince. and this lando, protective respectful cheeky alpha. it was such a journey, this fic. i think about it every day.

comment: pianortrell work of art. i don’t even have words to describe what this fic made me feel. it rearranged something in my brain, it was that good. i think a lot about that culmination scene when we go from pain through the trenches to the gorgeous smut. and then every installation after the main fic is just hotter and hotter. skye your pianortrell lives in my head rent free, i think about them all the time and keep rereading my favourite scenes (i will never shut up about the way you write kissing…)

comment: i kinda wish i knew how many times i read this au… idk if i’m projecting onto oscar but they way he falls for lando here is just so beautiful. i love their trip, their conversations, the way they accept each other. the smut is ridiculous, insanely hot. idk i just love them and think about them a lot…

comment: pregnant omega!lando becoming roommates with alpha!oscar… nothing can go wrong. i’m obsessed with this oscar, it’s not even lando’s fault he falls for him. i love how sweet the fic is, mostly, how hot, just a sprinkle of angst. and the smut, my gOD, the dirty talk is delicious.

comment: this kid fic makes my heart melt every time i read it. i’m just mesmerized at the domestic vibe, this lando and oscar so quietly perfect together. even that bit of angst is just so good, makes the whole fic such a gorgeous piece. my comfort fic for sure.

rating: E
comment: firstly, i don’t think there’s anyone who understands nortrell better than cosmicscuderia. their lando/max f fics are out of this world. that said, secondly, having it expanded to the costaterra polycule is an unbelievable treat. it’s incredibly hot and so well written. believe me, i’d thought i’m not into polycules and then i read that…

comment: what if we had to work on our teammate game and we got hit by a telepathy spell and the only way to fix it was to fuck about it? lovely magical realism fic, i adore how they get more and more obsessed. and the smut is so hot fucking hell…

comment: yes, it’s a third fic by amelia but honestly all her landoscar is award winning fiction in my household so sue me. this one is special because it was my first amelia fic and i think i read it 1837 times - the last time when i was literally at albert park and it helped me deal with lando p5 so. i just love the vibe of it, how both lando and oscar discover their feelings, their lust. the dialogues are so beautiful. the smut is unbelievably hot but that’s a given with amelia. all time fave 🙂↕️

comment: another kid fic and this one is just so comforting. has me in my feels in the best way - single dad!lando and driver!oscar working out how they fit in each other’s lives. even thinking about it now i get warm feeling in my stomach. domestic vibes, just a bit of angst and so much fluff guyssss…
