#lestappen teammates

Just imagine… i know, the likelyhood of it all is quite slim, even in a very au scenario, especially of the second paragraph, but bare with me for a second

Il predistinato coming in replacing his idol and taking his seat at the team he always dreamed of… But there is a catch: his teammate is gonna be his old rival from their karting days, the object of his jealousy for years and years before — because of his karting succes (especially the victories over him), because of his head start in f1, because he got a seat at THE dreamteam before him, even when he is not breathing and bleeding rosso corsa like he does, because he got to be the teammate of his idol instead of him… the level of angst!🤯🤭🫠

And also from Max’s perspective, being the teammate of Sebastian Vettel… it would have been such an interesting dynamic!! Also Replacing Kimi Räikonnen is not much of a headache for him, but the media is having a field day… i mean, just imagine the headlines: “Crashstappen replacing the last Ferrari champion. Have they lost their mind?” Like when Charles joined, even him being il predistinato (and being older than Max would have been), a lot of people questioned the decision bc of him being “so young” and not experienced enough..

Anyway (Max Verstappen’s version)💅🏼, if anyone has fanfic recs…👀🙈
