Or at least the Rookies were convinced.UPDATE: Second chapter because I couldn't resist

Summary
"this man knows Lewis Hamilton - friends, teammates, childhood buddy, rival, everything but a lover, quite frankly" - Crofty, for funsies presumably
Brocedes in 2025. Making up and making out I guess, just God knows how many words of slowburn inbetween that.
Nico Rosberg wakes to a message from Lewis Hamilton. Ten years of silence on Lewis side, broken with a single question: Why did you do it?
What begins as a late-night text spirals into something deeper—an unraveling of everything they left unsaid, everything they buried, everything they lost.
This isn’t about racing anymore.
It’s about regret. It’s about history.
And maybe—just maybe, and finally—it’s about healing.-

Summary
“Regardless, this could only be done in real life.”
He places the last pawn down, and he looks back up to Carlos. Something flashes over his eyes, but before Carlos can discern what it is, he settles back into his usual subservient Lewis smirk.
“I want to tell you a story about my life, while we play.”
Wow.
or
Lewis invites Carlos to a jazz club. Carlos thinks it’s for an apology. Then he thinks it’s for a chess game. It’s always just little bit more than that.

Summary
What Nico was not going to do is let somebody call Lewis Hamilton useless in an interview, even if that somebody is Lewis himself.
The only logical thing is to call Lewis.A peptalk and generally very weird and uncomfortable phone call with a soft ending.

Summary
They stood in front of one another, on an insignificant morning in the warm August air of Monte-Carlo, and he had said, I still believe in you, I have always believed in you. Even after all that they had been through. After all the vile words thrown at each other, punches thrown and lips bloodied. Nico had looked at him with a softness that reminded him of the first time they had met.
“Lewis Hamilton right?” the 7-year-old boy had said, smile bright and hand outstretched. “My name is Nico, Nico Rosberg. You drive so well! Do you want to be friends?”

Lewis and Nico bump into each other during the summer break, they talk.

Summary
Lewis will always fight for a world to become a better place, for equality and kindness. He promised himself that years ago, to remember where he came from. So when FIA gets rid of only openly queer drivers by pushing a ridiculous law, Lewis is ready to turn the sport's world upside down no matter what.
Even if this means fake-dating his ex-best friend turned rival, Nico Rosberg.-

Summary
Each breath feels like a punishment, even as he rolls his car up to P2. A few mechanics come over to help him out, standard procedure. Take the steering wheel out, hand it over, work himself out of the cockpit. Whatever comes after that doesn't matter.
Except today it does. Because everything after is standing in the way of him and his driver's room, where he can hold his rib in place enough to breathe painlessly for a bit.

Summary
Lewis looks at Nico, a soft but slightly sad smile on his face. “You were my person, once.”
“Oh, darling,” Nico looks at Lewis with all the love he feels exuding out of him. He takes Lewis in his arms and holds him against the space where his beating heart can be heard. He hopes Lewis feels it, how it still beats for him, even after all these years. “I still am.”
Or, they meet again, take things slow and learn who they are once more.

Nico Rosberg arrives with answers he should not have. Lewis Hamilton finds his oldest friend suddenly impossible to read. Toto Wolff begins noticing patterns that refuse to become evidence.

Summary
From around the time when he was 12, Max Emilian Verstappen had begun day-dreaming about being an unknown, anonymous figure, known solely for what he could deliver on track, with no media to hyperanalyze his stats or to question his overtakes, his defending, or his aggressive style; with no one to ever shame him for what his heart most desired. As the possibility of climbing through the feeder series to get to Formula 1 became more tangible, Max knew he had to make a change. He had to become completely anonymous to the world around him for a chance at being free.
Or: a multi-chapter fic of what would happen if Max Verstappen chose to become the first faceless racing driver since before he got to Formula 3.

Summary
When everyone collectively wished to go back to 2016 for the New Year, they probably didn't mean what's currently happening to Max.
Or rather, Max finds himself back in 2016, but he’s not alone—he’s with an old acquaintance who isn't exactly thrilled about returning to the past.

Summary
Max Verstappen learns early that survival is a helmet covering the softest parts of his face, a silence you don’t test, a love you earn by being compliant. Years later, the grid decides he’s too violent to be accepted, until the small wrongness of Max's actions begin to stack, and someone finally looks long enough to see what’s been hiding in plain sight. This is about the shape of a childhood you can’t outrun, and the terrifying and fragile beginning of Max being met with more instead of less.
OR: The grid rejects Max in 2015 before realizing he was shaped by abuse.
OR: If you relate to Max Verstappen and wonder what it was like coming into F1 as a kid with an abusive father—read this.

There’s only so much running a man can do, and he and Lewis have done enough of that for several lifetimes.
It’s excruciatingly awkward, yet when Lewis says —
“I saw the statement. Your Dad—"
— it’s also like setting foot in a perfect storm.

Summary
One of my fic ideas from tumblr. Max and Carlos have been married since the age of 21. Max is mention a bunch of times by Carlos but has never been seen in the paddock or in person. Fans think Max is fake and that Carlos made him up. 3 times people believe Max is made up. +1 Max is seen/shown in person at the paddock. I can't write a summary for the life of me!
