Things that make me love Checo (and the lessons I learned from him):
He carried around fish in his pockets because he wanted to walk them and be closer to his pets, and by extention killed them (lesson: love can kill you).
His siblings told him he was adopted (typical joke among mexican families) and he was convinced it was the truth, so he started asking his mother for his real family (telling her: 'lady, just tell me where my real family is) and then one day he packed up a small bag and went to look for his family (lesson: don't believe everything you are told).
His mother gave all three siblings a big ass-whooping for the whole occurrence (lesson: don't piss off a mexican mom).
He wanted to be a soccer player at first, and karting was just a hobby. The one invested in a career in driving was Toño. He tricked his brother in a race and manage to close up in a curve, taking them both out and pissing his brother off (lesson: dreams can change).
Also he was winning a race, and at the last lap, he thought it was over because he was distracted as he wanted to go to a soccer match and was in a hurry. Everyone kept telling him that he still had a lap left and when he managed to finish, he was second (lesson: pay attention to what you are doing).
Without any notion of how expensive long-distance calls were, he spent his nights calling to Germany, without knowing english and asking a friend to translate, until his mom got the phone bill and got another ass-whooping. He had to switch to exchange emails (lesson: keep trying no matter what).
Manage to convince the Slims to invest in his racing career (the origin of the sugad daddy jokes) and they sent him to Germany but he had to work to support himself until he could actually race (lesson: things will get worse before they get better).
He slept in a warehouse on flour sacks, and he then worked as a waiter and was allowed to sleep in the restaurant having as a roommate a chef who hated him because he was up all night (he was getting used to the change in time zone and got bored) and kept stealing his food (particularly pasta, which is why is his best dish to cook). He helped baking desserts and tried to learn german but never succeeded (lesson: some things are not meant to be, like learning german).
After failing with his first team, he seriously considered going back home and just forget about the racing dream. He was lonely, he felt he wasn't doing much and he barely spoke english and in his team they all spoke in german. This is when the Slims also doubted whether to continue sponsoring him, but then he asked for them to give him another chance and got another team (lesson: never give up).
This was just an excuse to use a few of my vintage Checo pictures, thank you for stopping by, please feel free to keep scrolling.

Last part :)
Today, Lewis was about to leave for the race weekend where he had less responsibilities in the paddock and so he decided to take the kids with him in order to give Y/n a break so she could have some self care for weekend.
“Lew are you sure you’ll be able to handle both of them at once?” Y/n asked her husband looked sure of his decision. “Yes honey, I’m sure. I don’t have much to do so I’ll be able to watch them properly and spend some alone time with them after, while you stay home and relax, alright?” He answered smartly. “Alright, just don’t say I didn’t warn you Mr. Got It Covered” Y/n retorted. Lewis loaded everything into the car and they all said their goodbyes before driving off, making a quick stop to pick up Angela and heading straight to the airport for takeoff.
It was now Friday and the first trouble came when Lewis’ first born, Leah Hamilton, wouldn’t go at leat five minutes without a hug or a kiss. She would put up fights, even going as far as pausing his interviews which the fans found to be adorable.
Then came his second child, Lucas Hamilton, who was causing havoc as he went around pranking his uncles (Toto, Fernando, Sebastian and Sergio) where is consistently caused mini heart attacks leaving the men paranoid of walking around; however he made it even worse as he kept hiding every time he knew that Lewis was looking for him.
Throughout the rest of the weekend, the Hamilton kids could be seen dragging their 7x World Champion of a father from one end of the paddock to the next with no breaks in between. This went on until Lewis found himself childless on multiple occasions, leaving everyone around in panic searching for the little tots.
The weekend had finally come to an end when Lewis got off the flight and drove back home unpacking everything while reflecting at the thought that his wife was right all along; it wasn’t easy looking after two active children on your own and for that he admired her even more.
Yall I can’t do this I’ve been in mourning ONCE AGAIN cause of F1 wdym Daniel Riccardo isn’t gonna have a seat like at this point I need a magical thing to happen and checo wanting to retire so we can get maxiel back cause if I don’t see Daniel avocado on the grid I’ll lose my mind UGH HES SO SMILES AND SO KIND AND FUNNY AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN HES MAYBE GONNA MOST LIKELY CAUSE SKY SPORTS MADE A SLIDESHOW FOR HIM GONNA BE GONE I CANT IM DONE I HATE THIS AND IM SICK AND ON MY PERIOD FUCK THIS SHIT IM OUT GUN TO MY HESD BOUTA PULL THE TRIGGER
YALL WTF AM I MISSING WHY IS OLLIE IN THE F1 INTRO?!
Got caught off guard seeing these fellas at my local Walmart
Checo be like : Awww hell no i am not going to be stuck with those 2
Horner: So we’re going to have you, Max and Daniel in a room and one of you will be dressed by the other two.
Checo: …. I’m going to be in the fan zone
Horner: You don’t even know when-
Checo: I will be in the fan zone
Now checo has to watch out for mark taking his seat too I guess??
help mark 😭
I think Yuki can break the curse of the redbull seat since he falls in the commonality of redbull drivers that have won. Successful redbull drivers need atleast 1 of 3 things:
1. Have a single digit racing number. (Seb, Danny, Max)
2. Have a two digit number that is a double/repetition. (Max, Checo)
3. Be Australian. (Webber, Danny)
Yuki is no. 22
so the FIA gets angry when Checo calls them out but does nothing when he ( and other poc drivers) have been the subject of x*enoph*bia and r*cism ??
THEY ARE INDEED A FUCKING JOKE
Checo Perez with wife reader. Despite him not having a seat next year, she wanted him to start the new year afresh. Doing everything she could and he's just grateful for her support all his career in motorsports. He knew her didn't always there when she or their kids needed him. Always make him guilty. But he tried the better he could for them. Thanks!! :))
back to my masterlist
pairing: checo perez x wife!reader
summary: After losing his seat for the upcoming season, Checo feels weighed down by guilt and uncertainty. But with his wife’s unwavering love and support, he realizes that family is the true constant in his life, and she reminds him of his worth beyond the track.
The house was unusually quiet for a New Year’s Eve. The kids were asleep upstairs, their soft breaths audible through the baby monitor on the kitchen counter. Checo sat on the couch, staring blankly at the glass of wine in his hand. The weight of the year’s disappointments pressed heavily on his shoulders.
He swirled the wine absentmindedly, thinking about how it all unraveled. Losing his seat—no matter how much he tried to prepare for it—still stung. Racing wasn’t just his career; it was his life. And now, he didn’t even know who he was without it.
The sound of soft footsteps pulled him out of his thoughts. He turned to see you, his wife, entering the living room with a gentle smile. You were carrying a tray with two mugs of hot chocolate, a subtle gesture to remind him that some traditions were worth keeping, even on a somber night.
—Thought you could use this. —you said, handing him a mug as you settled beside him.
—Gracias, mi amor. —he murmured, his voice thick with emotion. He set his wine aside and took the mug, the warmth seeping into his hands.
You studied him for a moment, your heart aching at the sadness in his eyes. Checo had always been the strong one—the fighter. But tonight, he seemed smaller, like the world had finally broken through his armor.
—You know. —you began softly, —a new year doesn’t have to mean starting over. It can just mean a fresh start.
He chuckled bitterly. —It’s hard to feel like a fresh start when everything I’ve worked for feels… gone.
You reached out, placing a hand on his knee. —Everything you’ve worked for isn’t gone, Sergio. It’s right here. In this house, in our family, in the memories you’ve created on and off the track. Racing might be a part of who you are, but it’s not all of who you are.
He looked at you, his dark eyes brimming with unshed tears. —You’ve always believed in me, even when I didn’t deserve it. Even when I wasn’t there for you or the kids.
You frowned, shaking your head. —Don’t say that. You’ve always done your best for us, Checo. And yes, there were times when we missed you, when I wished you could’ve been home more. But we understood. We always understood. Racing was your dream, and we chose to support you because we love you.
His lips pressed into a thin line, guilt etched into every line of his face. —I just feel like I’ve let you down. I wasn’t there for the birthdays, the first steps, the hard days. I missed so much.
You cupped his face in your hands, forcing him to meet your gaze. —You didn’t let us down. You showed our kids what it means to chase a dream, to work hard, to never give up. And now? Now it’s time to show them what it means to find strength in the people who love you.
Checo’s throat tightened, and he set the mug down, pulling you into his arms. You sank into his embrace, feeling the tension in his body slowly melt away.
—I don’t deserve you. —he whispered against your hair.
You smiled, pressing a kiss to his cheek. —Maybe not. But you’re stuck with me anyway.
He laughed softly, the sound breaking through the heaviness in the room. —I love you. —he said, his voice steadier now. —More than anything. Thank you for always being my anchor.
You pulled back slightly, resting your forehead against his. —And I’ll always be here, Sergio. Whether you’re racing or not, whether you’re on top of the world or starting from scratch. You’re my husband, the father of our kids, and the love of my life. That’s what matters.
The clock struck midnight, and the sound of distant fireworks filled the air. Checo leaned down, capturing your lips in a kiss that spoke of gratitude, love, and hope.
As the new year began, he realized that while his career might be uncertain, his family was his constant. And with you by his side, he knew he could face whatever the future held.

While I am absolutely happy that Checo got a podium today, it irks me seeing comments like this when an incident like what happened today happens and it’s out of Max’s hands. What did you guys think? That he himself caused his fuel to leak out, causing his car to catch fire? Either way, congrats to Checo for being able to get P2 and overtaking and defending against the Mercs so beautifully 👏🏻
rb should prioritize checo now. at least he can finish a race
The way his voice went up an octave IS TOO ADORABLE FOR THIS WORLD 😍
Engineer: "Max let Checo through please
[silence]
Max what happened?"
Max: "I told you already last time- you guys dont ask that again to me. Are we clear about that? I gave my reasons and I stand by that
interlagos gave us the plot we've been missing for the entire season in a single race - kmag pole, kmag dnf, charles calling lando a dick, several crashes, a maiden win, max being a cunt on radio, charles b e g g i n g to swap positions and of course, now, checo's intentional crash at monaco leak
thank u queen we owe you everything
MANIFESTING A GOOD AND SAFE QUALI TOMORROW🕯
11 - Sergio Perez he's just so,,, pleasant to draw honestly
helmut marko better start counting his days, I will find him and end him.
