Summary
“If you were stuck in a timeloop, and you knew you had to stop something from happening, what would you do?”
“What 10-questions-to-ask-your-teammate-to-get-to-know-them site did you get that one from?” Lewis laughs, as he moves to pull the balaclava over his head. They have 5 minutes until they have to be ready in the car and admittedly, this moment might not be the best time to ask this kind of question.
“No, I mean it,” Charles insists, lifting his helmet from the stand, but holding it awkwardly in his hands, maintaining eye contact. “If you were stuck, what would you do?”
Lewis places his hand on his shoulder lightly, squeezing once. “We can talk about this after the race, yes?”
There won’t be an after the race, Charles thinks bitterly, but he nods his head anyway. “Yeah,” he agrees, “after the race, sure.”

or: max crashes, charles deals with it more or less well, and the universe decides to meddle by having charles relive the same day over and over again

"We have the halo system. It was a turning point for reducing head and neck injuries."
What a fitting name, Max thought, as he envisioned a glowing ring above Charles's head.
OR Max is a MotoGP rider, and Charles is a Formula 1 driver. They fall in love.

Summary
At 25, Max Verstappen is the youngest head chef that Michelin star restauranteur Christian Horner has ever trusted in the position. Max is focused, dialled in, and eager to get Christian a fifth star, his first. Enter Charles Leclerc, the son of famed Monaco food critic and writer, Pascale Leclerc, a part-time server and architecture student.
He's just... fucking annoying.
**title change, this used to be 'i wanna get better!'.

Summary
There’s someone standing in his kitchen.
He looks young, maybe close to Max’s age, with messy dark brown hair that’s pulled back from his face by a red bandana, and he’s leaning against the kitchen counter like he’s supposed to be here.
Max’s first rather unhelpful thought is; fuck, he’s gorgeous. His second, more reasonable thought is;
“Who the fuck are you?”
“Charles Leclerc,” the man smiles. It's a little bit dazzling and Max is not at all distracted by it. He extends his hand for Max to shake. “I’m your new executive sous chef.”
Or: Max is very happy with his life, thank you very much. He has his restaurant, his team, and two Michelin stars at the age of 24. He definitely does not need some pretentious Monegasque chef coming in and throwing everything into chaos.
Except, maybe he does.
