Christian Horner - Tumblr Posts

it’s come out that he was allegedly sending inappropriate pictures to an employee, which is sexual harassment and also deserves to get him fired.

the head company red bull themselves are the ones who personally started this investigation, the victim has clear evidence, and reporters say horner has already been advised to resign. this is not speculation, and anyone who is making a matter as serious as this into a chance to play which TP is more morally sound needs to reevaluate their own morality. anyone who is remaining quiet about it so as to keep supporting rbr as an f1 team needs to reevaluate their own morality.

makes me physically sick that Christian Horner is still sitting on that pit wall on his megasalary when he's abused someone for years, got her fired and then legally silenced her. the collaboration of rich men to never face consequences is shamelessly gross

It’s rumored Christian Horner is making his way to FIA for third driver in Redbull because he is also done with bullshit shows from McLaren

It’s also rumored Max has started boxing to throw better punches

P.s: pls I just want someone from any team to throw a shady remark because no way Dan would do such a thing and I need it to get done😂😂

Vettel Jr, DR3

Hello! I had this idea for a few days and I finally did it! but let’s just imagine Seb is in his early 40s

pairing: Daniel Ricciardo x Sebastian Vettel’s daughter 

word count: 4.8k 

warning: age gap (she is about 22 and Daniel is 31), Texan Dan, a kiss

other characters: Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, Toto Wolff, Carlos Sainz, Christian Horner

synopsis: Seb’s daughter is a respectful young lady who studies in Harvard med school and she is a big Danny Ric fan, she finally decides to check out US Grand Prix to catch a glimpse of her favorite driver.

She pulled into the parking lot in her light blue Mercedes SL190 that for sure got the attention of Toto Wolff who was just passing by. She was not known widely, the eyes of the spectators nearby were fixed on the car, and some of them took out their phones to take a picture. 

“Always up for a showoff, I can’t believe you had the car moved here only for one race” 

She laughed happily, her hand landing on his shoulder “dad live a little, not all of us has a chance of getting Aston Martin for free anywhere we go” 

“What do you mean? You’re my daughter of course you do” 

She rolled her eyes at him “sure whatever lets you sleep at night, Mr. Vettel” 

“Really? You matched your dress with the car?”

“Dad! How could you? Bold words from someone who owns a closet full of F1 teams merch” 

“Ouch, not seeing your family has made you sassier” 

She was away for most of her life, successfully convincing her dad to send her away for education, the dream of becoming a doctor was too big to let go so she sacrificed a great deal of her life for it, and finally made it into Harvard. It broke her heart how many races she had missed due to the tight schedule of school or college, but seeing one specific driver named Daniel Ricciardo during Austin last year, she thought she couldn’t miss this one for the world. She tried to make it so subtle, but Daniel being her favorite driver all these years, it was no brainer for Sebastian why she suddenly wanted to tag along. She was busy looking around, people in orange and red shirts standing out more than others, her eyes scanning the paddock for any driver, as much she just wanted to see Daniel, she still wanted to meet every single driver. 

“Did you hear what I just said?” Seb sounded done, it hasn’t been too long and he was already done with his daughter.

“Sorry, dad did you say something?” She gave him a sweet smile trying to seem innocent. 

“I said we will start from the beginning” he pointed to the Mercedes garage “and we go forward, good?” 

Her happiness was impeccable “works just fine! But can we please walk through the pit lane?”

“You just wanna see Daniel huh?” 

“Dad don’t tease me, I’m a fan you know it” 

He laughed and pulled her to his side, kissing her forehead lovingly “alright alright we’ll go there” 

She always loved the black/white aesthetic their shirts had. The crew was moving around, some eyes caught them but no one made an action except one. Toto Wolff made his way out of the garage to greet the pair. 

“You made quite a scene with that classic Mercedes” he spoke with his thick accent. 

“I did, didn’t I? That car is a beauty” 

“Couldn’t agree more, I own one too, silver” 

“Seb, hey man” all heads turned to the voice of Lewis Hamilton.

“Good, finally you’re here, Toto was ignoring me” 

“Don’t take it personal Seb, it’s nice to see someone appreciates classic cars” 

Lewis turned to the young girl who was staring at him eagerly, the fangirl inside her was pushing to come out “look at you, you’ve grown up so much, come here” the pair shared a hug that the cameras around for sure didn’t miss it. She remembers meeting him back in the days when she was just a child. 

“So if you both excuse us, we have 19 more teams to visit” 

“Busy day ahead huh?” He turned towards her “You should come by more, you know to double the motivation” 

With another laugh, they made their way towards Redbull. 

They stopped in front of the garage, Max turned his head and made his way towards them with a smile. She did a little jump at the sight of him. Both drivers exchanged a short greeting and a bro hug. She took a deep breath and spoke “hi” Max turned to her “hello if it wasn’t for your father keeping you hidden for all these years I would’ve known who you are” 

Both laughed at what Max said

 “But you have heard of me” 

“I have, good to see you, feel free to join us we have free Redbull” 

“Nah Max she is here for someone else” 

She jokingly slapped his shoulder “don’t expose me like that” 

“No no let him finish, Seb go on” 

He giggled before replying “she is here for Daniel” 

“Oh” he started laughing “oh no don’t tell him that, his ego would go off the roof” 

“Hey he isn’t that egoistic” 

“Seb look at her already defending Daniel” 

Seb faked a disappointment and shook his head “I can’t believe this is my daughter” 

“Who isn’t that egotistic?” 

“Charles, mate welcome, come here Seb and I would appreciate another teammate” 

She didn’t need Max to mention the name to know the voice belongs to Charles, her eyes immediately grew bigger, he was good, just too good, his red shirt suits him like red was made for him, his sunglasses resting on the edge on his shirt. She blinked once, twice, her brain couldn’t comprehend how a human being could look like that. 

“Do I have something on my face?” Charles asked, keeping eye contact. 

Max felt like he was exploding, she was too adorable, he noticed the way she was staring.

“No no, just wow, you ever heard of the lady in red?” 

“The song right?” 

“Yes that one, you’re like the gentleman in red” 

Charles giggled “well thank you lady in blue I appreciate the compliment” 

If looks could kill, Charles would be dead because Sebastian was throwing daggers at him. Max couldn’t keep the comment to himself “oh Charles you’re getting a DNF today” 

“What? Why?” His eyes traveled between them until the realization hit him. 

“Seb, mate I- I’m sorry I didn’t know-“ 

“Relax Charles I might only break your front wing don’t worry” 

A breeze blew her hair and the sun caught the gold earrings, Max smiled as soon as he saw them, he was having too much fun teasing her and judging based on the way she was acting, but she wasn’t too offended by it. 

“Is that number 3 in your ears? “ 

Her hands immediately pushed her hair further into her face to hide her ears “no it’s not” 

“but it is” 

“I can also confirm that it is” Charles leaned in to whisper in Max’s ear “what am I missing?” 

Max whispered back very subtly “she is a Daniel fan” 

Charles pulled away, eyes flickering to Seb “oh poor Seb” 

Seb sighs “Charles don’t I know” 

“Girl you’re fully obsessed” for a moment Max thought he has gone too far. 

“Guys cmon, it’s just an earring and a number, I’m not that obsessed with Daniel Ricciardo” 

“Yes, and that’s Daniel’s number”

“Yes but it’s also 33, so your number” 

“Sweetheart don’t tell me you don’t have a poster of his win in Monaco hanged in your dorm” 

She turned to her dad “dad you too?”

Daniel parked his big white Tahoes and got off the car. As soon he entered the main area the screams became ear-splitting, he turned his head towards the crowd and tipped his hat, smiling wide. Austin felt like his third home. He loved the attention. On his way to the McLaren garage, he was stopped by a few reporters. He could clearly see how suddenly the number of photographers and cameramen had doubled, he even spotted George taking pics. 

“Daniel! Up here” 

He looked up, waving at the fans standing on the balcony.

He shoot them a smile and put on his best Texan accent “howdy y’all” he picked up the hats and shoes people threw at him to sign, successfully throwing them back. He continued his walk in the paddock, all eyes were on him. Daniel was glowing with confidence in his tight black pants, orange jersey with his number printed on it, and big Texan belt. 

His ears prickled as he heard his name being mentioned in that sentence from the small crowd consisting of Max, Charles, Seb and a girl he assumed was Seb’s daughter in front of Redbull garage. He knew Seb had a daughter, and she was away in the US but that was all, he had no idea she is a fan of him. Charles looked up and caught his eyes, signaling him not to make a noise.  While Max couldn’t stop teasing her, Charles’ eyes caught Daniel, he was just in time to signal him not to make a sound. When she turned to Seb, he elbowed Max to look up. 

Max looked up, Daniel mouthed “what’s happening?” 

Max pointed at her, drew a heart on air, and then pointer at Daniel. A smile broke on his face as soon as he realized what was happening. He tried to take his steps without making a noise, she was too deep in conversation to notice. He stood next to her, their shoulder pressed to each other. She was helplessly trying to convince her dad that she wasn’t obsessed with the famous honey badger as much as it seemed when she felt a warmth next to her. She slightly turned her head to see who it was and she went speechless. It was him, it was Daniel fucking Ricciardo. 

Her brain was completely shut down when she saw him, the way he looked immediately brought a light blush to her cheeks, she couldn’t believe she finally got to see this version of him up close. The orange jersey brought out his skin tan and gave a fantastic view of his well-built hands, his tattoos plastered across his gorgeous skin and she could swear her hand was twitching to run her finger on his astronaut tattoo. She shamelessly let her eyes look him up and down, she blushed harder and gulped, suddenly feeling thirsty. He was beyond attractive up close, her eyes met his and she was lost, her head subconsciously crooked slightly to one side. 

“Look at her Charles she is blushing like crazy” 

Charles laughed hard and managed to tell Max to shut up. 

Daniel waited patiently, he let her watch all she want, he would lie if he said he wasn’t loving the attention she was giving him. 

He couldn’t deny it, she was very cute with that heart-shaped sunglasses and blue sundress. He physically had to contain himself not to touch her blushed cheeks in front of Seb.

He shoots her a smile and lets his hand rest on her small shoulder “hello howdy” 

She almost laughed at his accent.

“Oh my god you’re even better than your pictures” as soon as she realized what she said, she bit her lips. 

“I would’ve said something better back but Seb is throwing me daggers with his eyes, and don’t bite your lips like that, they’ll bleed” his voice was so soft that she could cry then and there.

Daniel watched her looking at Seb exactly the way Seb was looking at him. 

“Don’t mind my dad go ahead. Wait you know me?” 

“Of course I do, you’re Vettel Jr” 

No one in that circle missed the way her eyes sparkled when Daniel said he knew her. 

“Alrighty, the sparkle in your eyes is so bright the sun must be jealous” 

“Oh my god take your hand off my daughter’s shoulder” 

She wasn’t ready for Daniel to take his hand off her shoulder, she was loving the warmth of his body pressed against her side. 

“Dad don’t, this is my ultimate fangirl moment” 

When Daniel heard what she said, he felt good and pulled her to himself, lightly massaging her shoulder, she turned her face to him and smiled wide, taking off the sunglasses and hooking them on her dress. 

“Guys, can I have a group photo please?” One of the photographers asked.

“Sure mate” Daniel replied spinning both of them to face the camera. Seb stood next to Dan, Charles took his place next to her, and Max next to him. 

“Max if you’re done, we have stuff to do, Daniel good to see you ” Christian Horner screamed from the garage. He waved at him with his free hand “right back at you boss” 

“fun is over” Max hugged her “it was nice to see you Vettel Jr, if you stick around I’ll give you a free Redbull” 

“Give me that free Redbull now and I’ll cheer for you if you win” 

Max went into the garage, grabbed a can from the small fridge, and went back.

“Here, I got you a cold one” 

“Hey it’s not fair I want one too” 

“No Daniel you lost your Redbull rights in 2018 mate”

She clapped Max cause of his reply “Maximus, that was a spectacular reply” 

“I thought you were supposed to be on my side” 

“I’m always on your side, Danny” 

“Guys no just stop, you know what I’m going, I’m done, Daniel if you can let go of my daughter I would love to hug her” 

She felt weird as soon as Daniel’s hand dropped off her shoulder. 

She happily hugged her dad “honey don’t flirt too much and don’t let Max feed you too much Redbull” 

“Ok dad, message received” 

“I better go as well” Charles turned to her “it was so great to see you, you must come more” 

“Same gentleman in red, have a good race” 

“Ah it's just me and you now, cmon we will check the rest of the paddock” 

She shielded her eyes with her hand “great Id love that”

“And we will get you a McLaren hat to show your undying unconditional love for me, and of course, the sun won’t bother your eyes”

“I would love that too” 

They stopped momentarily in front of the McLaren garage to check if Lando was around but a small crowd caught their attention.

“Is something wrong there?” 

“I’ll ask” 

When they went in, they noticed people around a mechanic. 

“He doesn’t look good, stay here I’m gonna bring someone from the medical center” 

She put her hand on his arm to stop him, his focus suddenly shifted to her hand on his skin “no need, I’m a physician, just make the way for me and get me a first aid kit?” 

“Sure you got it, follow me” 

He went ahead “guys I got help here please make way”

She took the chair next to the guy, soon a red bag was by her side. 

“Sir how are you feeling?” 

“I- I have trouble breathing and I just feel too hot, but it’s natural, it is too hot” 

She grabbed a stethoscope and a thermometer “we will see about that in a while” she turned to people around her “can someone grab me cold water please?” 

People rushed to get water, meanwhile, she removed his helmet, checked his body temperature and his heartbeat. 

“Here drink this” the man drank the water like he hasn’t seen the sight of it in ages. 

She glanced at Daniel and he stepped forward “I trust you can somehow have a cold bathtub here?” 

He raised his eyebrows “what for?” 

“He is having Hyperthermia, the fastest way is a cold bathtub and water” 

“I’ll tell Zak, consider it done” 

She turned to him with a reassuring smile “it’s hyperthermia, you will be just fine as soon as the cold bathtub is ready, just take off your heavy cloth, for now, rest somewhere far from the sun and direct heat, you’ll be fine in no time” 

The man returned the smile “thank you so much” 

“Don’t mention it, it’s what I do” 

“Wow, just wow, that was amazing, you were amazing” 

She was standing in front of Daniel with a dark blue McLaren cap, she still couldn’t wrap her brain around how good he looked with that beard. Daniel throwing compliments at her was not helping her situation. 

She blushed “please I’m in med school, it’s my job to help” 

“Aww you’re blushing, it’s cute. By the way, where are you coming from?” 

“Massachusetts, Harvard” 

“damn ok smart pants” 

She looked at him, feeling a little shy “so I better go to my dad before he gets worried, thank you for today” 

“You can’t leave without a hug, come here” she couldn’t recall a moment better than this, hugging him was a dream come true and she didn’t pull away, she wanted to savor this moment, the way he crossed his arms at her back to hold her, the way he smells, the way her head was resting on his chest. Daniel didn’t miss the way she hugged him, he didn’t let go. 

“Thanks for being here, and don’t think I didn’t see your number 3 earrings” 

She laughed and finally pulled back “you like them? I got it specifically for today, Max couldn’t stop teasing me about it” 

Before going she stood on his tiptoe and left a kiss on his cheek, his beard burning her lips. She took a mental picture of the way he looked. To say Daniel was stunned was an understatement, he was absolutely speechless. Getting a kiss from a pretty girl was not on his bingo list before a race but most definitely he wasn’t complaining.

“Any reason for this special treat?” 

“Not just a good luck for your race, see you around, Danny” 

He melted by the way she called him Danny, he knew he couldn’t just let her leave like that, he reached and grabbed her by her waist, he felt ballsy so he leaned down and kissed the corner of her mouth, his lips slightly touching hers, he let his lips linger for a mere second before pulling back. It was her turn to be speechless, she just looked up at him and blinked, not quite believing what just happened, she could still feel the burn his beard left behind and for a moment she wanted more. 

Daniel winked at her “just returning the favor, see ya around pretty” 

She smiled at him and started walking away, as soon as Daniel went inside she ran as fast as she could, thankfully the Aston Martin motorhome was right next to the McLaren and she didn’t need to run for so long to reach the driver’s room. She was so impatient when she knocked and waited for her dad to reply, shortly after she heard a come in and she opened the door with intensity. 

“Wow so excited still?” 

She shook her head, her back to the door and her hand covering her mouth to keep the exciting sound she was making silent. 

“Sit and tell me what did you do” 

She sat down and took a deep breath “nothing, what makes you think that?” 

“Cmon I know my own daughter, you wouldn’t be like this over nothing” 

“Ok but the first promise you won’t DNF Daniel?” 

“Just say it” 

“Ok ok fine, I kissed his cheek” the thought of it was enough to make her blush again. 

“And?” Seb raised his eyebrows, waiting for the rest.

“And? What do you mean and? That’s it” 

He just stared as if she said the stupidest thing ever. 

“Fine, he returned it” she couldn’t do it anymore, she hid her face in her hand to have a moment in peace and let her dad get mad, instead he laughed. 

“Does that mean you won’t DNF him?” 

“DNF? I'm gonna push him to the guard rails” 

Sebastian moved and sat next to her, his arm around her, pulling her into a hug,  her head resting on his shoulder. 

“Are you mad at me?” 

“Of course not, you really think that low of me?” 

“No dad I don’t…it’s just…I don’t know” 

She took off her sandal and pressed her legs to her chest, pouting as it hits her she won’t be seeing him again in a long time. 

“You know I think you might like him a little more than you let on” 

She wasn’t that surprised he noticed it, with the way she looked it didn’t take a genius to understand that. 

“What’s the point? I can’t see him until god knows when” she whispered, her voice sad. 

“It will pass ok? Or at least I hope it does” 

“How do you know dad? What if it doesn’t? If it doesn’t I’m fucked up” 

“Honey let’s calm down ok? If it doesn’t it’s fine ok? I’m still here for you we will go through it. Now you wanna sit here and be sad or wanna come with me to the driver’s parade?” 

“Really? I can come?” 

“You’re Sebastian Vettel’s daughter, of course, you can” 

“Dad, can I ask you one more thing?” 

“Sure honey anything” 

“Any chance you could grab me a date with him?” 

“Ok now you’re going too far” 

The driver’s parade looked good, a big truck with all the drivers in one place, she happily crossed one more option in her mental bingo as she stepped into the big area. Everyone standing with big umbrellas that had their team printed. 

She didn’t miss the orange umbrella that belonged to McLaren, hoping Daniel is the one who is holding it. 

“Dad look he is so handsome” 

“I know he’s been my teammate in the past, instead of wasting your time telling me how handsome he is, go and say that to his smug face”

She giggled happily, handed the umbrella to him, and walked toward the man in question. 

Daniel wouldn’t confess it, but he was more than happy to see her on the truck, he wanted to know her more and see her around the race, not only he know it wasn’t possible but he didn’t know when he would see her again. 

The pair stood happily next to each other, Daniel shared the umbrella and let his hand to hold her waist, both were too happy to care about the eyes on them. 

Not further back, the interaction wasn’t missed by the two drivers. 

“They look in love, I actually feel bad now” 

The Monegasque replied “who knows maybe they are, I feel bad too, look at them. They look so fond of each other” 

“Hello, what are we looking at?” Carlos joined them. Charles didn’t answer and simply nodded in their direction. 

“They look cute, since when Daniel get himself a girlfriend?” 

“Don’t tell that to Seb, that’s his daughter” 

“Oh, but they look so good” 

“We know Carlos that’s what we’re saying”

Sebastian’s heart broke for his daughter, she sacrificed her time in her own country and basically her life for the greater good. He couldn’t recall the last time he saw her smiling like that. She deserved happiness and someone who makes her happy, even if that person would’ve been Daniel, as long as she was happy he had no issue with it, in fact, Daniel wasn’t even a bad guy at all. But by the look of it, he knew she had prepared herself to leave everything that happens there behind and go back to her Harvard life. 

His eyes caught Charles next to him who was looking at the same sight as him. In fact, that’s what everyone was looking at. 

“They look so happy together, I haven’t seen her like that since she got the news that she got into Harvard” 

“Is there anything we can do?” Charles asked, he could see what everyone else was seeing, two people looking incredibly happy next to each other and could have a bright future together.

“No, unfortunately, we can’t, she has already made up her mind, there’s no changing it, she knows damn well she will get hurt, and the worst part? I can’t even blame Daniel for that” 

They both laughed at the last part. The parade was coming to an end. 

She stood by the balcony, too happy that she could also sneak a peek into the McLaren garage, more importantly to Daniel.

Drivers were beginning to come out. She caught the sight of Daniel with his racing suit around his waist and his signature headphone, he looked up, saw her, and waved. 

When the race was over she was more than satisfied with the result, Max won, Charles and Daniel got P4 and P5, and her dad P10. She left the balcony to hopefully get to the podium celebration and make Max give her more Redbulls. 

By the time it was done, the weather was starting to get dark. She made her way to the driver’s parking lot, her keys in her hands. She felt a deep sadness in her chest when she couldn’t catch Daniel for one last goodbye and was told he left. 

She looked around and saw two Chevy Tahoe, while she was wondering who was driving these two big boys, Daniel appeared. 

He was glad to see her across from his own car, she was driving the light blue Mercedes SL190 that was the talk of the grid for the day. 

“Hey you, I thought you left” 

“Hey yourself, same, congrats on the result today, you did good” 

“Thank you, not a podium but I’ll take it” 

She walked across the parking lot and stood in front of him. She just needed to feel his presence close before it was all over. 

One look was all she needed to do what she was about to do, as soon as she glanced at his face she knew she had to do it. 

She stood on her tiptoe, her hand grabbing his face and she kissed him, he was surprised but kissed her back, in his mind if she wouldn’t have done it, he certainly would. His hand grabbed the back of her neck, other one went around her waist to pull her closer. The kiss was heavenly, his lips felt so soft against hers. Her hand made its way to his hair, softly tugging at the curls causing him to kiss harder. His tongue slid into her mouth and she welcomed it, she moaned into the kiss due to the intensity, Daniel felt like the last piece of self-control was slipping away. He spin her around and pressed her against the car breaking the kiss to look at her. 

She looked up at him with those eyes and he felt his knees buckled. He pressed his forehead against her, her fingers tracing his beard causing goosebumps to rise on his skin. 

“I’ve wanted to do this since I saw you today”

“What do you think? You like it?”

“Let’s just say is the reason why I even came today, now can we kiss more?”

“Fuck yes we can”

He kissed her more tenderly, lips locking perfectly as their tongue moved perfectly, by each kiss her heart beat louder, loud enough when he kissed her neck, he felt it under his lips and his chest fluttered. He was making out with a girl like her after his race in Austin and at that moment nothing else mattered. He reached and grabbed her hand, intertwining their hands for more physical contact. 

When they finally separated Daniel asked “can’t you stay? Will I see you again?”

“I have a flight tonight, I don’t know I can only hope so”

She gave him a peck for one last time “goodbye Danny, I’ll miss you”

“I’ll miss you too, Vettel Jr, have a safe flight”

She found it too hard to leave him, for one last time she threw her arms around him, he gladly accepted the hug and pulled her close, letting her to rest her head on his chest. In that moment she loved nothing more than holding him close and hearing his rapid heartbeat. 

They both finally made their way to their car, both of them unaware of how much their heart broke over this. 

Daniel sat there, watching her turn on the car and then drive away. 

Only when she was sure she is out of sight she started crying, her heart torn to pieces and it was at that moment she realized, she loved him. 

“Daniel, come in” 

“Sorry for dropping by at this hour”

“No worries, you want a drink?”

“No no I’m all good, I uh needed a favor”

Seb took the sit in front of him “sure go ahead”

“Can you call her please?” It took everything out of him to ask this question but he had no choice. 

“Yes, I will”

She was in the airport, waiting for her flight to get announced when her phone rang.

“Hey dad” she couldn’t help but sniff. 

“Hey honey, I’ll take it you’re waiting for your flight?”

“Yes, I’m at the airport” her voice was sad, Seb knew the reason but there was nothing he could do.

“Are you ok?”

Daniel’s heart dropped when he heard the question, different scenarios running through his head.

“No, but I will be, don’t worry”

“Message me when you land will you? I’ll try to come by in the next few days, sounds good?”

“Yes sounds perfect, love you dad”

“Love you too sweetheart”

He was impatient, he knew if something bad had happened Seb wouldn’t be this relaxed but he still needed to know.

“Usually I should be mad at you for breaking her heart, but I am mad at her for breaking yours” 

“No it’s-“ 

“Keep it, Daniel, it’s all over your face. She was at the airport, she said she will be fine so don’t worry, go back to your room and rest, you need it” 

He stood up, shaking hands with him “thank you, Seb means a lot really” 

“Of course” 

During the walk to his room, he knew this one would hurt for so long, and it will take him even longer to get over it.

please tell me if you liked it! I also have an alternative ending where they spend the night together, should I do write that too? 

ch.2

Christian horner kinda fine, idgaf what y'all say that man is sexy as shit. Yeah sure he's an angry, morally gray man but when has that ever stopped anyone of us?

Red Bull downfall is immaculate 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Hands down my favorite f1 post

"F1 is being ruined by weird people"

May I introduce you to, once again, the people who work(ed) in F1 and it's feeder series?

Weird camera angles, genuinely almost kissing, pictures with little to no context, Kimi's Lego car with oranges as wheels, questions all around, it all checks out.

Watching as Christian cleans and bandages up Max's hands and arms, the British champion sighs. "He can't drive like this."

"He can drive, you haven't seen him racing," the other, older Brit doesn't turn around to face Lewis, he just focuses on his own driver, who doesn't even look like he's mentally there.

"Christian, he isn't in the condition-" "Shut up, Hamilton! Max raced with his head in other directions, especially right after Silverstone last year. Almost dying while you celebrate that shitty win and not having a loving father by his side isn't exactly how you would want to spend your hospitalisation, do you?"

"Christian, we already talked about that race and we forgave each other! Why are you so pressed-"

With a gentle tap on Max's hand, Christian lifts his arms and pulls up his shirt, revealing a large scar across his waist and chest.

"No one saw that, but Max didn't care about it. He almost died, and now, every injury sends him back to that fucking race of the both of you, so don't pretend to be past it."

Wait what? So Toto and Christian are together and Max is their son?? Ore something but Toto is cheating?

Exactly! Christian and Toto had Max, but Toto decided to cheat, so there are consequences :D

Where can I read this cheating Toto and Christian thingy…. Sounds interesting

Actually, I haven't even started writing it yet, but it'll be on Wattpad and AO3 when I decide to publish/write it :D

Okay, because @jeezlo and I collected so much for the Cheating Toto AU, I wanna say some things about it (and because I don't feel that well).

Christian won't get back together with Toto, that's for sure, but Toto will terrorise him and his partner.

Max (the baby of Toto and Christian) will suffer in the hands of Susie and Jack, while Christian blames himself for putting his baby through that.

&

Kimi will be a grandfather figure for Max and also supports Christian and his partner.

Small snippet for the Cheating Toto AU:

Staring at his phone with a blank expression, Christian watches as the police walk inside the house, having been granted entrance by a confused yet angered Torger.

The cries of his baby still echo in his ears, the fear of one of his stepparents clear to hear and he blames no one except for himself - he could've saved his baby from all of this right now.

"You said his name is Max, right?" a police officer brings him out of his thoughts, looking at him with a neutral but slightly concerned expression.

Christian looks at him, unable to form words due to his guilt and shock, so he nods. The police officer takes a last look at him before walking inside too, leaving him alone outside, unable to stop the words spoken between his baby and his one stepparent from repeating on a loop.

While waiting, he looks at the white clean house, trying to figure out what went wrong from the start of their relationship. Was it him, with his loud mouth and foul words he loves to use? Was it his age that made him leave for someone 9 and 21 years younger than Christian himself? Or was it the fact that they had a child together, while George couldn't really have a child and Susie and Torger already had a child back then?

Too many questions run through his mind, until the sound of his baby sniffling tears through him, letting his head snap up, only to stiffen when he realises his baby cries in the arms of the officer who talked to him.

"Max, is this your mama?" the officer gently coaxes the head of the young child away from his neck, pointing with his head towards Christian who, unable to comprehend the situation, just stares at them.

With a nod, Max starts to cry again, now demanding to be held by his mother, scared of not being able to be held by him anymore.

If Max wouldn't have called him, Christian is sure he would never see his baby again, no matter how much he pleads with Torger to let him see Max at least through a video call or no matter how the court forces them to let Christian see Max, as it's his right as his mother.

Having Max back in his arms, he finally sobs, pulling him closer to him, both crying together after the fear of separation forever still lingering in their bones and blood.

The officers take statements from everyone but seeing as the child was crying and shivering, crying out for his mother, the police were quick to judge the situation in favour of Christian.

Yes yes, more cheating Toto au

Well, first off, I'm glad you liked the snippet and I promise I'll either post more snippets or write the whole story soon.

But for now, let me paint a small picture:

So, Christian and Toto were together for 6 years but had a small rough patch in 2016, causing them to take a break. After that, they reconciled and were, once again, inseparable.

Then, in late 2018/early 2019, Christian found out he was pregnant, which is completely unusual (it's not abo) because men normally don't just get pregnant - he decides to keep the baby and go with the instructions to ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy.

On September 30, 2019, the sweet baby Max was born and as we all know, COVID hits, causing Christian and Max to be under constant safety, ensured by Toto who works from home but also part-time at the factory.

This is when things start to turn bad - Toto spends less and less time with Christian and Max, leaves the house for way longer than necessary and even avoids contact with them on some days.

Christian wanted to believe in a happy ending, but he gets splashed in the face when Toto packs his stuff one night, after waking up Christian, and telling him that he moved on.

The rest will be Christian and Max suffering and Toto then regretting his choices, but yeah!

Not my brain spinning circles around the idea of Christian and Toto having Max and Lando as twins after Toto divorced Suzie in 2016 (not knowing she was pregnant). Max and Lando could be diabetic or normal, I'm not sure yet, but they get raised in a loving household - Max is a Red Bull baby and Lando is a Mercedes baby.

Why does it look like Christian and Jim Farley are flirting with each other, on stage and during the launch?🤨🤔

Has Max's gayness finally won over Christian?

New idea for baby Max with Christian and Toto as his parents.

Just Max once helping a biker in an accident (Christian actually helped but Max initiated it) and getting new friends in form of the whole biker gang who visit him during the Silverstone GP.

It actually looks funny and cute because a small 5 or 6 years-old boy walking around with big and burly men by his side while waving at his Mama and Papa who "have an argument" (they pretend to have one because Sky Sport UK is an ass).

Ahh, I live changing history in favour of an idea 😌

Christian and Toto having twinnies Norstappen on October 22, 1998 and them joining F1 in 2016 (Max in RBR and Lando as a reserve/test driver for McLaren, later full driver for McLaren).

Until 2023 (when George was supposed to still be in Merc), Lando stayed there but an incident made him uncomfortable there and he begs Toto to join Merc.

At the same time, Sergio gets thrown out of RBR in 2023 (causing Daniel to take his spot and Mick to be in McLaren). So Lando is teammates with Lewis and Max with Daniel.

Both are teammates with the other twins' mate/partner. I'm not yet sure if I make it ABO or not

To highlight it - FIRST Race Week of 2023!

I just realised that my biggest ships contain a Brit and someone who knows how to speak German 👁👄👁

Lewis & Max

Christian & Toto

Ghost & König

Just saw that you're feeling a little down. So I'll try taking your head out of it for a minute.

I'm wondering do you have any other ideas for Toto/Christian (one where they are happy in it at least. Not like the cheating au 😅)

And if it's not too much, can you do a headcanon about Toto/Christian and 4433 please?

I hope this help with you feeling down 🤍

Thank you for asking, and I'm happy to report that your ask works! 🤗

Oh, Toto/Christian my beloved! And yes, I have ideas for their happiness, especially with baby Max!

Au where baby Max is diabetic!

Christian and Toto decided to take their five-year-old Maxy to the Austrian Grand Prix, since he's be able to have Mick and Michael (yes, he's not a coma) around him. They made sure to watch Max's blood sugar levels before they even thought of getting ready, packed snacks, drinks and insulin and watched as Max has a hard time deciding what stuffed friend he wants to take with him.

It's not only Toto's home race (curse his Austrian heighty ass) but also Red Bull's home race, so both teams are giddy with the aspect of a good and fun home race (and the fact that their little chaos named Max would finally be at a race track).

Max, dressed in rubber boots and a raincoat, stands in front of his mountain of fuzzy, furry and round stuffed friends, contemplating what friend has the privilege to come with him. "I don' wanna leave you alone," he pouts while carefully tugging on his shark plush.

Suddenly, he gets picked up and lifted high above the ground, Toto had snug into his room and smiles brightly. "My little Spatz learns how to fly, how wonderful that is!" Both laugh and giggle, their mood could be felt all over the hotel room and the rain couldn't ruin it for them.

"Toto, don't drop him," Christian walks in, dressed in his Red Bull stuff and carrying the "Max Deluxe Bag". "We need him for our strategy, Ferrari might be on our butts and we need our secret weapon."

"Momma!" Max squeals and stretches out his arms towards Christian, the stuffed friend still tightly held. "Papa make me fly! I am bigger than you!"

Yeah, Max is higher up than Christian is tall, but if your husband and wonderful father of the little miracle is around 20 centimetres taller than yourself, it is to no wonder. "Oh, are you? Then I guess you are too big for a tickle kiss. How bad," he sighs dramatically and turns around for effect, only hearing Toto's and Max's shocked gasps in response.

A short moment passes and hurried tiny footsteps rush towards him, small arms holding onto Christian's pants while Toto's arms sneak around his waist. "Not fair," both whine and Christian laughs, heart feeling warm and full of love.

Despite everything that had went wrong or complicated in their lives, Christian and Toto enjoy moments like these in large quantities and qualities, their little ball of energy never seizing to amaze them.

The only thing that breaks the moment is a high-pitched bark and a young dog running towards Max, tongue already all over the boy's face and the happiness in Christian expanding all over to Toto. Yeah, their life together is perfect right now, in their hotel room in Austria, with their sun and dog and their love for one another.

As for headcanons, I would say that Lewis and Max often times get caught making out or just being super toothrottingly cute in private/team intern. They get scolded but never stop, so whenever someone sees them, they'll just ignore them.

With Christian and Toto, it's the same though, just in team principle style (and, to everyone's horror, s lot kinkier). Max always jokes around that Lewis is the vanilla version of Toto while he is the vanilla version of Christian.

Another headcanon is that Max is actually viewed as Christian's and Toto's son, so Lewis was super worried at first when Max and he started dating (all those super protective dads all over the internet didn't help). It was a surprise for him when Toto sank onto his knees and thanked him for finally shutting up their son about how mich he loves him. Max terrorised Toto with his crushing on Lewis while Christian just loves every second of it 😂
