Summary
“Maybe next week Max will let you win,” Tom jokes.
Charles chuckles a little, but looks even more uncomfortable than he did before.
Max, still riding on his anger from Charles admitting Ferrari are upset with him, raises the microphone.
“That is not funny,” he says, barely restraining himself from unleashing his anger on Tom.
If he doesn’t put a stop to this now, people will always speculate. They will always wonder: did Max let Charles pass? Did Charles go wide on purpose? Are they going easy on each other? Are they sharing team secrets?
“What, you think that because I love him that I would just let him pass by me? You do not know anything about our relationship, and you clearly do not know anything about me if you think that I would do this. If I let anybody win, I would not deserve my seat in F1. This joke is stupid, and it is insulting.”
or: following their very public trackside and podium kisses, Max and Charles deal with the consequences of their coming out. They knew things would be difficult; but they didn't really expect the many, many ways it would change their lives.

Summary
“It happened because of who we are. The adrenaline, the competition. You beat them, they beat you, and suddenly it feels like something else. Like you need them in ways that don’t make sense off-track. Call it desire, call it whatever. It’s the same rush.”
Lando stared at Max, wide-eyed. He wanted to crack a joke but nothing came out.
“But Charles… he’s not wired like me. He felt more. Took it seriously when I thought I could keep it light.”
Lando’s chest tightened. He could feel it, the truth under the shrug.
“Oscar’s the same. More like Charles than like me. Than like you. He’ll feel it heavier. Carry it longer. You mess him around, you won’t just hurt him, you’ll regret it yourself.”
***
Or, the one where Lando realizes he might be losing to Oscar on and off the track.

Summary
Craning his neck behind them, Daniel laughs his loud, creaky hyena laugh. “Don’t look now, but he’s still watching.”
“Who?”
“Chuck.”
“Chuck. There’s no way he lets you call him that,” Max says, voice rife with disbelief. He also can’t help it—he turns around, jostling Daniel’s arm over his shoulder to look back toward the media pen. Charles is in fact still watching them disappear down the paddock. His head is tilted to one side, a look of consideration on his pretty face. He doesn’t look actively upset, but he doesn’t look particularly happy either. Fuck.
“He doesn’t let me do anything. I just sort of do it and he laughs and blushes and looks at me with his big cow eyes.”
“Big cow eyes,” Max repeats, disbelieving yet again.
“Not actually, but sort of,” Daniel says, grin making his eyes crinkle. What the fuck.
“He’s blushing at you?” Max sounds petulant. Jealous, even. He needs to get a grip.
*
All the rookies love Max. Except for one.

Summary
“I’m not so drunk that I don’t know what I’m asking you,” Max said.
Charles swallowed the lump in his throat. “Me either.”
“So, is that a yes?”
“Are you sure about this?” Charles asked instead, laughing unbelievably and shaking his head. “This is not something we do, mate.”
“It could be something we do,” Max said, grinning at him. His fingers flexed on Charles’ hip, and it did something weird to Charles’ brain. When he looked back on this moment later, he would blame Max’s big hand on his hip for what he did next.
Because for some reason... Charles kissed him.
He wasn’t sure why.
OR: the self-indulgent story of how Charles and Max fell in love over winter break 2022, in a classic Enemies to Friends With Benefits to Lovers fic that nobody asked for.
