Summary
Lando plays Padel with the other drivers, laughed so hard she cried during a press conference once, and posts pictures of herself and Max Fewtrell in the tiniest white bikinis, askew ever so slightly to show off a terrific tan line.
It's no wonder, Kara thinks, that people don't take her seriously.

or: being a rookie in Formula 1 is hard, especially for a woman. Harder still when you keep getting distracted by your new teammate.

An all time rpf favorite; the first f1 rpf fic that stuck with me truly. And I’ve always been a sucker for r63, but the internalized misogyny here is just so delicious and the author is so dedicated to making these characters whole and complex. I just love it so. I keep losing this fic and thinking about it in the back of my mind in a constant hum of “when am I going to find it again…,I miss it.” So I have decided to bookmark it for obvious reasons.

Summary
“I’m not sharing my room,” Sam mutters, knowing as he says it that it sounds exactly like he’s a fucking ten year old facing a new sibling. Steve hastily makes what Sam thinks is supposed to be an understanding face.
“Of course not,” he says soothingly. “He can bunk in with me, it’s not like we haven’t done it before. It's a twin room, anyway, there's already a spare bed.”
Sam guesses a bigger house is out of the question. Whatever; the three of them have spent eight hours crammed in a Mini, it can’t be that bad.
It’s not that bad. It’s worse.

Summary
Jude has questions for Luka, about Ramos, about Rakitic...about Jude. But it's so hard to say what he wants to say, ask what he wants to ask. Luka gives him time and space, and doesn't press, except with a soft hand on Jude's shoulder.

Bookmarker's Notes
There is too much to say about this, but the first, I think is that this fic as a whole represented many firsts for me. I’ve been in fandom spaces for 10+ years now, and this is the first still to connect with me in such a way. It was my first true dip into rpf, first true dive into reading about football players I watch every week, first dive into watching, reading, commenting live weekly for about a year. It was so much to me ON TOP of being one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever read.
The author has a way of connecting that feels so deeply. human and authentic while still managing to be artful. This author doesn’t sacrifice the realism of following this team week after week while life is happening around them but also doesn’t let the story falter because of it. They get something about sport, about life, that maybe I don’t have all together right now, but if they keep writing, I’m absolutely sure I’ll get there.
I loved commenting back and forth to them as well, love that connection. It also inspired me to comment on more than just their work, and I’ve become something of a serial commenter since. Which is a good thing, I think.
I think, more than anything, this fic gave me something to smile about or cry with for a very significant moment and for that, it is one of the most important I’ll ever read. And like always, I will come back to it for a very long time.

It's eight months later and Jamie is drinking and filling out divorce papers online from the hotel room he got when he stormed out of their house earlier in the afternoon. When he finishes these, he's sending unredacted screenshots directly to The Sun.
Reason for dissolution of marriage: spouse is a fucking wanker and I hate him.

baby’s first divorce fic. they’re so bad at ignoring each other. bad at not caring. bad at not being freakishly obsessed. so good, so true to character. wasn’t expecting to read this, let alone love it. set the tone for my day (spitefully optimistic).
