So this is officially my first lestappen edition! After watching the way these two racing each other, testing each others' nerves, training their patience with things deep under their eyes, and so many extraordinary fics. It just hit me with the idea of making this video.
It's just so sweet coincidence that today is also my birthday, so I kinda regard this as a gift to myself.
Just hope yall would enjoy this as much as I was when making it!

This is what you do when you really in love with ur child crush for yrs
Max is such an enigma to me. He's so confident talking to the press and then all he can come up with to talk to Charles is the fucking weather?? And he'll confidently (and sometimes aggressively) confront other drivers about situations during races but then goes and immediately apologizes to Charles?? They're so weird about each other, I can't deal with it.
i think it comes down to the core of their dynamic which is what @valyrfia once said: "the most compelling lestappen dynamic is that Charles is supposed to view Max as his enemy but canโt" and vice versa.
they've been conditioned to view each other as a person to beat ever since they got to know each other, and at some point, it was all they were (cue to clips like inchident, or charles saying they hated each other as kids & had very heated debriefs post race in karting) but they also were probably the closest people in age with a similar dream to end up in f1 at the time so they sort of got used to coming as package deal (max saying that charles would be his main rival on track, even when he was years in f1 and charles was just a sauber rookie).
so, despite all of that, them being sort of close and actually like each other is the most interesting thing in their dynamic. also compare recent years with like 2019 when they both were one austria away from a restraining order.
you could say they even got to the point when the racing results don't really impact them off track (max learnt to apologize to charles aka las vegas, or charles ran to congratulate max in qatar for his WDC first thing).
so they're both, in a way, an enigma, because they will always be that exception of yes, we're rivals on track, but we also have this complicated history and now actually enjoy each other's company, sort of vibe.
plus we also saw them grow closer as seasons went by, so max no longer needs to pull out weather topics as an excuse to talk to charles, and they seem to always find things to talk about.
to wrap it up, the point stands - they somehow deluded themselves into thinking the other is the coolest person on the planet and now are actively facing the consequences of this mindset
