➢ Your Nicknames For Each Other

Lando Norris

In public, Lando is quite shy and he usually refers to you by your name. However, he once let his endearing nickname for you slip out during a livestream.

"Lando?" You had called from the other room, needing his help with a task in the adjacent room.

"Yes, sweetheart?" He had replied, not realising his mistake until people started to call him out on it. It became an inside joke amongst his crew he used the nickname against him teasingly.

For him, you kept it rather simple with 'babe', however that didn't mean he didn't love it any less when it tumbled from your lips.

Max Verstappen

Max had experimented with various nicknames for you, all of which came from his native language of Dutch. Only one seemed to stick: 'mijn schatje'. It was cute and simple, making your heart flutter whenever he dressed you by it. 

On the rare occasion you didn't call him 'Max', or 'Maxi' if you were teasing him, you had picked up on a few Dutch phrases yourself. Max really appreciated 'mijn Leeuw' which meant 'my lion'. It was super fitting for his brand, and really reflected Max as a character in something as simple as a nickname.

Charles Leclerc

Charles was a romantic. From a few weeks of dating, he had a nickname for you already settled: 'Ma chérie'. You loved hearing anything French come out of his mouth, especially if he used the nickname in the bedroom.

You were also quite the romantic type so came up with an affectionate nickname for him almost as quick. He absolute loved whenever you would call him 'Darling', or even the variation of his name 'Charlo'.

Carlos Sainz

You called him 'Papi' once as a joke when you had been playing around, however it seemed to stick. Now, you unironically call him by the nickname and he rather enjoys it. You kept this quite limited to your house, adapting his popular nickname 'Chili' when you guys were together in public.

Carlos thought the nickname 'cariña' sounded good, and so did you.  How he pronounces his 'r's made you weak in the knees, and when he wanted something to go his way, he would often enunciate it further in an attempt to sway you. Unfortunately for you, it always seemed to work. 

Alex Albon

Alex is a cute and charming person, something that immediately drew you towards him as your partner. You could never hold back the smile whenever he would call you by a cheesy nickname, usually one of the three: 'jellybean'; 'bunny'; 'sweet cheeks'.

You would always blush when he used them in public because he certainly wasn't shy. No matter how much his teammate would tease him, he didn't let it bother him. Your 'baby' might not have the same cheese factor as his, but because you called him it, he didn't care.

Pierre Gasly

A lot of people looked up to you as a couple, and their hearts melted even more when your nicknames for each other went public. Whilst he called you 'princesse', you called him 'prince'. You two were straight out of a fairytale, destined to live happily ever after.

George Russell

George wanted to remind you of how beautiful you were every time he addressed you. The nickname 'Gorgeous' could make you feel so much better, even when your mood was down. 

You enjoyed calling him 'Angel' because that was what he was. You couldn't have asked for a better person to spend the rest of your life with.

Daniel Ricciardo

When he wasn't calling you a funny variation of your name just to see you smile, Daniel loved to call you 'Doll'. You didn't mind the nickname because you knew he didn't see you as his property or anything, the name just seemed to stick when he noticed the effect it had on you. His Aussie accent added to its impacts on you. When Daniel really wanted something from you, or wanted to entice you into bed, he would switch it up ever so slightly to 'Babydoll'.

You had an array of nicknames for Daniel. When you weren't calling him 'Honey badger', or 'Hubbie', or 'Hercules', you would call him 'Handsome'. It was probably the one you used most often because of its simplicity, however you would switch it up frequently to try and get what you want.

Sebastian Vettel

You loved Seb's smile more than life itself. You knew that one would find its way onto his whenever you used the nickname 'Schnucki', so it was something you called him often. Other than that, there was nothing wrong with calling him 'Love' when you were in public.

Seb thought you were the sweetest person alive so often addressed you with the nickname 'Süsse'. In more casual conversation, where more people might be present, he would switch it up to 'Liebling' because you both liked to have more personal nicknames. The general one never  encouraged any teasing from his younger teammate.

Lewis Hamilton

Lewis was your 'champ'; there was nothing really to it. When you weren't using the affectionate nickname, you only ever referred to him as 'Lew', only 'Lewis' if he had done something wrong or was in the bad books with you.

He had quite an American way of speaking so would often just call you 'Babe' rather lazily, however in more intimate moments, he would call 'Kitten'.
