Formula one story about Charles Leclerc & Max Verstappen (Lestappen)

I never imagined that love could feel so forbidden and yet so right. As Crown Prince of Monaco, Charles led a life full of duty and tradition. But when he meets Max, he suddenly goes off the rails and questions everything he ever knew about love and royal expectations. Can he dare to follow his heart, even if it means breaking the rules? In the fast-paced world of Formula 1, Max has always focused on racing and avoided the limelight of fame and media. But when he meets Charles, everything changes. Known for his confidence and rule-breaking attitude, he is fascinated by the prince's calm demeanor. Suddenly he is curious about a world beyond the racetrack.

Charles hates Max, it's always been like this and it always will be like this. That's what he thought before he found out everything Max is hiding. [lestappen] - mature content There will be no warning at the beginning of the chapter to avoid spoilers.

You are gone, and I am still your sin. Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc are enemies in Formula One. Their constant bickering, fighting and name-calling is the number one topic. They end every race weekend in the headlines with words bad for their reputations. One day there is a fight between the two on the podium, during the Dutch national anthem. The FiA finds this unacceptable, especially when complaints start coming in from the Netherlands, the country where the situation took place and the fans, so they, along with the principal of Red Bull and Ferrari, decide to give the guys an ultimatum. Either they will pretend to be friends in front of the press and all the fans, or they will be kicked out of Formula One without the possibility of returning. Will they agree to this? Will they manage to stay in the formula? Why do they hate each other so much? LOVE OR RIDE | 18+ Formula One | Lestappen

"I lost myself in the blue of your eyes, blue as the ocean we're sailing on." The sea has always been Max Verstappen's escape - a vast, untamed expanse where he feels most alive and closest to an event from his past. As the confident and carefree captain of one of Monaco's most luxurious yachts, Max is no stranger to fleeting pleasures and one-night stands. But when his company begins sponsoring Ferrari, Max finds himself drawn to someone he never expected - a quiet, reserved driver whose focus on racing has kept him sheltered from the chaos of love and it's passion. For Charles Leclerc, life has always been about precision and control. Behind the wheel of a Ferrari, he's a rising star, but off the track, his world is small, cautious, and untouched by the intensity of romance. When a chance encounter brings him into Max's orbit, Charles is captivated by the boldness and freedom Max exudes. Yet, as their worlds collide, he's faced with desires he's never dared to explore - and feelings he can't ignore.

"Max doesn't know what to say. His eyes draw over every inch of Charles's face. His green eyes with brown specks, the sweat dripping down his face, his lips curled in a small smile... "If only you saw yourself the way all of us do. The way I do." Max and Charles have been circling around one another ever since they can remember. Heading into the 2024 season, Max doesn't know if he can keep his feelings locked inside for much longer. Canonically follows the entire 2024 F1 season, with chapters posted after every race. Completed. Sequel in 2025!

The British GP was a mess, for both Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc. Maybe what happened afterwards was even worse.. or better? In other words, Max is still figuring out how to give love, while Charles acts through emotions. They match surprisingly well, even if it might not look like it at first.. /////// I saw a post on tiktok about Max and Charles being emotional support rivals and I took it to a whole different level, hehe! Enjoy <3
