Formula Racing Imagines And Preferences

🏎️Robert Shwartzman - Ferrari

Robert bounced the ball of his foot up and down nervously in the taxi. I watch him closely as he does everything but look at me. The nerves got the better of him. "You doing alright?" I ask. He brings his attention to me. "Yeah. Yeah. I'm good. How about you?" He smiles. I offer a smile back. "I'm good too. Nearly there now." That didn't help at all. He grew even more nervous. "Robert, listen. You'll do fine. I believe in you." I reassure him by placing my hand on his. He calmed down a fair bit but the nerves shot way back up when the door was opened for him to get out of the taxi.

We entered the Ferrari factory and for Robert it must have felt familiar but for me it wasn't. It was absolutely marvellous. I had never been to the factory before but I'd seen pictures and to be honest, it looks better in real life. Robert became really shaky when he was being told what was going to happen so of course, I took his hand in mine and gave it a light squeeze to which he squeezed back. "I need to go get my overalls on now." He said to me with a bag in his hand. "Okay then. I'll be sitting here waiting for you." He leaves only to return later a little shaky. "What if they think I'm the wrong driver for this?" I stand up and walk closer. "It's a bit late now." I attempt a joke and fail miserably. It makes him worse. "Robert, you'll do great and besides, what's not to love? You look great in red." He chuckles and walks back to his little changing area. A few minutes go by and he comes back out with the suit on and ready for action. I must admit, I had to fan myself off because dman this guy looked good.

The seat fitting had to be done before anything else so he had to walk away for that too but I stayed close by. I sat watching as Robert got into the Ferrari for his seat fitting. His smile only grew wider and wider with each second passing. "Babe! Look!" He said excitedly. I smile at him. Fuck he was adorable. "Do you want a photo?" He nodded. I whip my phone out and hold it up to him in the car. He puts his thumbs up and smiles as I take the photo. "I'm going to send it to your mum." He looks around the inside of the car taking it all in. "It's incredible. I've never seen something like this. It's so cool." he says. "I just-" I turn around at the sound of his voice breaking and she him tearing up. "Papa would have loved this."

"I know but he wouldn't want you to cry." I wasn't good at comforting at the best of times so you can imagine how shit I was at it now. I walk towards him but I'm stopped by ferrari mechanics. "He has to be by himself or he will compromise the mold." I step back and all I can do is watch him. The tears soon dry up and he has to get out. He hops out and watches the mechanics do what they need to on the car. "You okay?" Whatever thoughts were going through his mind were cut off by me talking. "Yeah I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" I give him a look of worry hoping he will open up a little bit at least. "I just sorta wish papa was here to see it." I pull him into a side hug and wrap my arms around his waist. "I know you've probably heard this before and I know you have heard it from me before but he would be so proud of you and believe me, he's watching down over you."

"Robert? It's time to drive now." Robert froze. He exchanged a look with me and calmed a little bit more. "I guess you can't come with me." I shake my head. "Can you talk to me on the radio then?" I look over to his engineer who nodded. "Of course. If it makes you feel better." He hops in the car fully kitted out and ready to go. "Okay Robert, first lap. Just get a feel for the car first and then we can go faster okay?" The engineer asked into the headset. "Sure. Can Y/n hear me?" I answer myself. "Yes I can. Now go do your thing." I think he forgot to turn off his radio because I heard absolutely everything he said. Every squeal, every noise, everything. I had truly never heard him so happy or alive. To think that this is the boy that I grew up with, that I have seen dream about driving this very car and now seeing it finally happen was just heaven. I saw the struggle he went through, I've seen it all. Now he's out on track, driving his car. The Ferrari.

A/N: Ah Robert! Mick's is coming soon. Might be a little while later since there's like a paragraph I have to add and also read it over but yeah this is the Robert one. So proud of the Ferrari Academy Drivers
