Rookie radio: The tracks the limit

Summary:

When the newest set of rookies get thrown into a chaotic group chat by their team PR managers, things quickly spiral. Between on-track drama and off-track chaos. A singular group chat becomes a battleground of egos, emojis, and ongoing slow burns.

Or; Tamberion writes a chat fic cause people commented on my paris fic--that they’d read it if I wrote one.

Notes:

I will release chapters after each qualifying, race, maybe FP. I can't guarantee it'll happen exactly afterwards. But I will specify.

I am currently writing: Austria

Chapter 1: Testing: Sakhir

Chapter Text

March 24th at 00:06 Incoming Call 

Answer? 

 

Ollie: Hey 

Gabriel: what’s the matter? 

Ollie: You remember a while ago, before we joined f1 I told you about a certain thing 

Gabriel: be more specific, Ollie 

Ollie: Gabi, I told you about Kimi 

Gabriel: oh yeah. I do remember.. why’s that so important now? 

Ollie: cause I think it’s right. I mean.. he’s made it to Mercedes. Now he’s getting insane points.

Gabriel: are you not happy? I don’t get it. 

Ollie: I am happy 

Ollie: very happy in fact 

Ollie: but I’m envious 

Gabriel: I get that. I very much do.

Ollie: ah shit, yeah. You and Isack 

Gabriel: Well yeah. I mean I came to Sauber just for its future, not for its present. 

Ollie: what an oddly satisfying way to put it

Ollie: but is it just the potential of points? 

Ollie: or for you is it more? 

Gabriel: …. 

Gabriel: he’s got the media to back up his likeness 

Gabriel: I’m still seen as a nobody 

Ollie: not true 

Gabriel: let’s be honest. Out of the five of us, I was the least known rookie chosen 

Ollie: yeah, yeah. You’re right 

Ollie: the feeling sucks. It slips right from under you 

Gabriel: yeah. 

Ollie: I think.. 

Gabriel: what? 

Ollie: Well with Kimi, I think for me it goes beyond what I assumed. Or what I told you. 

Gabriel: you speak as if there’s more feelings wise 

Ollie: maybe there is.. 

Gabriel: You cut out, mate. Speak up 

Ollie: what if there is? 

Gabriel: then do whatever you can to present those feelings 

Gabriel: without being overbearing 

Ollie: you’re well versed it seems 

Gabriel: what do you think I’ve been doing.. 

Gabriel: since the start of my rivalry with Isack 

Ollie: oh. 

Ollie: Oh! Oh my fucking goodness 

Ollie: you and I really are a cut above the rest, huh? 

Gabriel: seems that way 

Ollie: Dino was right then

Gabriel: about?

Ollie: you love too easy, too quickly 

Ollie: but so do I. 

Gabriel: so this is what you wanted to call me for? 

Ollie: yeah, I guess 

Gabriel: I appreciate it

Ollie: yeah? 

Gabriel: yeah

Ollie: did we really choose the two most oblivious people ever? 

Gabriel: I guess we did

Gabriel: granted. I watched Isack race when I was in f3, it was obvious that he was oblivious to everything 

Ollie: Is isack why you and your girlfriend split? 

Gabriel: nah, her and I felt like the relationship was more friendly than romantic. I did love her, but she didn’t love me the same way 

Gabriel: made sense to just split. Besides, we were teenagers. No point in fretting over it when it was mutual 

Ollie: I guess so—same thing happened with me. Just didn’t mix well. Better to let her go then lie. 

Gabriel: Then f2 happened, and yeah.. 

Ollie: Yep. 

Gabriel: does Dino know? 

Ollie: he knew before I did, to be honest 

Gabriel: Oh, yeah? 

Ollie: Yep. At first though, he assumed I had a thing for you 

Gabriel: me?! Oh my God! 

Ollie: Dino pried the answer outta me 

Ollie: I did almost say you, to be honest 

Gabriel: why?! 

Ollie: I was scared of what Dino would say if I said Kimi.. 

Gabriel: I feel as if Dino likes to remind me.. 

Gabriel: of how much of a shit he was when we raced together 

Ollie: Pretty much! 

Ollie: But then I told him, and he replied with “oh, I know mate. I was kidding” 

Gabriel: I mean.. it was obvious, to be fair—I kinda figured too

Ollie: You too!? Gabiiiii 

Gabriel: I’m sorry, ahah, I’m sorry!! 

Ollie: you don’t get to laugh at that!! 

Gabriel: haha, kinda do 

Ollie: Yeah, yeahhhh

Ollie: So, since we’re here on this topic 

Ollie: what started it? 

Gabriel: what?

Ollie: come on, what got the crush going? 

Ollie; let’s hear it Gabriel 

Gabriel: Uhhh… well 

Gabriel: Just how fired up he got about the new season, even when we didn’t get along at the start—then it developed into the rivalry 

Gabriel: I mean, I’m sure the camera caught how I looked at him in Chasing the Dream 

Ollie: Oh my fucking—see I KNEW it! I told Paul that you guys waiting for Isack was suspicious 

Ollie: especially you! 

Gabriel: wait, when?! 

Ollie: in the Belgium episode. Paul and I watched it afterwards 

Ollie: his words, not mine 

Ollie: “I remember Bortoleto wanted to wait for Isack to get the waffles”

Gabriel: I didn’t know the camera recorded that to be honest 

Ollie: It just caught you smiling at isack while he walked up

Gabriel: how about you? What started this for you? 

Ollie; everything. How kind he was, how well we got along with our driving style. Him. 

Gabriel: sounds like you’re more smitten with Kimi then I assumed 

Ollie: Yeah well, I’m sure if I dug deeper with you—you’d have some not safe for work things to say about Isack 

Gabriel: don’t, ahaha! 

Ollie: I’m gonna call it a night then.

Gabriel: yeah, me too. See ya on track 

Ollie: See ya.

Isack: I don’t want to see the Gabriel that mopes around and never smiles. I don’t wanna see your hair out of place cause you keep running your fingers through it. I don’t wanna see bags under your eyes cause you dream of such a futile thing. [16:48]

Isack: I wanna see the Gabriel I fought last year. The one I compared to Max Verstappen. The one I got the luxury of saying I need to beat. I wanna see the Brazilian boy who won in both his rookie years. I want my rival Gabriel. [16:50]

isack: I don’t want you. I want my Gabriel. [16:50] 

Gabriel: I feel as if I joined this team just to join it. I mean, I DNFd in race one. And since then I’ve never gotten into Q2 until now, and when I do the car falls apart in the race. I want to fight like you are, I want to fight like Ollie and Kimi do. I don’t want this anymore [16:54] 

Gabriel: you want what… [16:55]

Isack: I want you. The one that I watch from across the paddock, or the one who’s car I look for hoping it’s behind me [16:57] 

Isack: I’m not scared to admit that [16:58] 

Isack: I mean I do fear that the girl I’m texting is gonna think I watch you too much, however [16:59]

Isack: I never actually sent her a message. Well thats a lie–I did, but, I couldn’t send her the intended message [13:42] 

Isack: I mean, i’m not sure how dating works. And it scared me. [13:43] 

Isack: I thought I should tell you the truth. [13:43]

Isack: I’m still down, so is Pepe [18:06] 

Franco: Jak is extra excited to go [18:08] 

Ollie: I ask cause Mini was wondering [18:12] 

Liam: Is Gabi still coming? [18:13] 

Isack: I can ask [18:14] 

Ollie: it’s better if you don’t. [18:16] 

Ollie: No, Gabi isn’t coming. [18:17] 

Isack: wait, why? [18:18] 

Ollie: when we see each other on the streets in Monaco next week, Isack [18:20] 

Ollie: I’m gonna put you in a wall. [18:21] 

Liam: WOAH?! Hello, what the fuck Ollie? [18:23] 

Isack: what the fuck. [18:24] 

Ollie: Gabi isn’t coming. He had a god awful race and you made it worse the day before. [18:26] 

Isack: this is something we should talk about in private, Oliver. [18:28] 

Kimi: Ollie, chill out.. [18:30]

Franco: No. I’m not leaving it. Gabi. [18:38] 

Franco: his phone died, then he had the audacity to reply back hours later and say THAT!!! [18:40] 

Gabi: Franco, Isack doesn’t know about my feelings at all he only said that to make sure I wasn’t uncomfortable. [18:43] 

Franco: and exactly what about “Sorry, that was meant for Pepe” is making sure you weren’t uncomfortable [18:45]

Franco: and what if Mini saw that message?! The guy has a huge childish crush on Pepe. So not only is isack fucking you over, but also another innocent f2 driver [18:47] 

Gabi: It’s not that serious. He doesn’t mean to do this, Franco [18:49] 

Franco: I know.. I know he doesn’t—this is isack we’re talking about [18:52]

Franco: It's just… [18:53] 

Gabi: I know, but please. Isack is a nice guy, he doesn't know my feelings and shouldnt be blamed for the mistakes [19:00]



Ollie Bear

Isack: Explain. Right now. [18:29] 

Ollie: You know. [18:30] 

Isack: then you should also know, I apologized to him [18:32] 

Ollie: By lying! [18:33] 

Ollie: you know someone else has a crush on Pepe, you know all this shit already and you still used his name. And with GABRIEL. [18:35]

Isack: Its not like Gabriel likes me or anything. [18:37] 

Ollie: you.. So those messages you were sending, leading him on. Are you blind to your own advances, or is this some fucked up french thing? [18;39] 

Isack: What advances? [18:42]

Ollie: Not texting the girl about a date, admitting you look at him from across the paddock, saying you'd do anything for him, saying he'd look better by your side. Fuck, Isack, you let Gabi sleep on your chest! And you SAVED the photo [18:46] 

Isack: I.. [18:47] 

Ollie: There is nothing wrong with liking Gabriel! [18:50]

Isack: I KNOW THAT! Ollie, I fucking know. But every time I got closer, or tried to, he’d pull away. [18:52] 

  Isack: It was as if I meant nothing to him. [18:53] 

Ollie: you.. Isack. Are so wrong. [18:55]

Hmm, Monaco has always been my least favourite race of the season. Really happy it was Lando on the top step.

Brief mention of the interaction between Isack and the racist fan.

No TikTok links since it reveals my TikTok when I post links. I'm sorry, but this account is kept secret from all my socials. (that means I also DON'T have a Tumblr)

Isack Hadjar 

[May 18, 2025] 

Isack: we should talk [19:00] 

Gabriel: about? [19:00] 

Isack: well first off.. the message I sent, it was wrong of me [19:02] 

Gabriel: how? [19:03] 

Isack: because it was a lie [19:05] 

Isack: I wasn’t thinking. And I also didn’t think of the repercussions of if you were to tell Pepe what I said [19:07] 

Gabriel: Isack? [19:10] 

Isack: I do apologize. And I.. well I don’t retract my statement [19:11] 

Isack: You would look better next to me. The same way you did when we used to share podiums, the same way you looked next to me when you won your first feature race. The way you were smiling so brightly, you wrapped your arm around me. I loved that. [19:14] 

Gabriel: Ollie told you, didn’t he? [19:14] 

Isack; yes. But that doesn’t change how I feel [19:15] 

Gabriel: how you feel? [19:16] 

Isack: listen, I have to go. But we can talk about this later. I see Liam waiting for me. [19:18]

Gabriel: we need to talk. Please [21:43] 

Isack: I did promise [21:44] 

Gabriel: One thing out of the way [21:46] 

Gabriel: I’m in love with you. I’ll say it. I have had this feeling since I entered formula 2 and we fought. It’s hard to pinpoint when it grew, but it grew. [21:48]

Isack: oh. [21:50] 

Isack: every time I got closer, you pulled away. I was scared. Scared that maybe I was imagining the signs. Maybe I wanted to imagine the signs. [21:52] 

Gabriel: now might be difficult to be together. Our teams. Our jobs. But, in the future.. I want to try, I don’t know when. But I want to try [21:55] 

Isack: I want to try whenever you’re ready to. But I don’t want to wait, I don’t want to risk losing these feelings for you. Or I don’t want to risk you getting with someone else and having to endure watching it bloom [21:58] 

Gabriel: you could never lose me. [21:58] 

Gabriel: can I come to your hotel room? [22:00] 

Isack: Yeah, of course [22:01]

Isack: uh well! [14:27] 

Ollie: I’ll ask him [14:28]  

Ollie: what are you telling the girl, btw? [14:30] 

Isack: Nothing. Gabriel isn’t ready, and I don’t want to walk around flocking a relationship that might not even exist. Her and I weren’t together anyways [14:32] 

Isack: I’d rather out myself over Gabriel [14:33]

Franco: some stupid fan was racist towards Isack. Made a comment before Isack went to do his Sky sports interview [18:33] 

Franco: we don’t see what happened fully, but it cuts to Jenson and them watching. Then when Isack gets back—he seemed pissed off [18:35] 

Ollie: what the FUCK! [18:37] 

Gabi: huh?! [18:38]

Franco: I assume the coward ran off when Isack approached him. But yeah [18:40] 

Gabi: he didn’t.. he never told me that happened [18:43] 

Isack: I didn’t want to worry you [18:44] 

Isack: Message me [18:44] 

 

Gabriel 

Isack: Sorry for not telling you [18:46] 

Gabriel: don’t apologize. You’re not obligated to tell me [18:47] 

Gabriel: especially not something like that. [18:48] 

Isack: hmm. I’m not sad about it. I was mad, pissed, about it [18:50] 

Gabriel: Isack.. [18:52] 

Isack: idk, Monaco always gets me on edge. Last year I had such bad luck, I assumed it would carry on over to this year [18:54] 

Gabriel: Não, all your bad luck went to me in Lap one [18:56] 

Isack: Gabriel, non [18:57] 

Isack reacted 😂 to the message 

Isack: amour, you raced amazingly [19:00]

Gabriel: amour, huh [19:02] 

Isack: yeah, yeah [19:05] 

Gabriel: well, minha vidinha, next time an idiot approaches you tell me [19:08] 

Isack: I am sorry [19:10] 

Gabriel: don’t apologize [19:11] 

Gabriel: I love you, and as long as you’re okay, then it’s okay [19:12] 

Isack: I love you too. And I’m still sorry [19:14] 

Gabriel: one more apology, and I’m coming over to tickle you, Hadjar [19:15] 

Isack: You wouldn’t dare [19:17] 

Isack: Would you..? [19:18] 

Gabi: Isack?! [19:20] 

Isack: I would like a repeat of a few nights ago however [19:23] 

Gabi: Isack! [19:25]

Isack: Am I wrong? [19:26]

[June 1, 2025] 

Isack: Okay, question [18:30] 

Ollie: I didn’t drink your juice box last year, that was again; Dino. [18:32]

Isack: Okay. I'll ask about that later when I find out what juice box you’re talking about. [18:34] 

Isack: But srs, I got a question [18:35] 

Ollie: shoot [18:36] 

Isack: am I wrong for a feeling a littleeee jealous of Nico? [18:38]

Ollie: Oh my lord, you saw the video and the photo. [18:42] 

Isack: yes! Hell gabriel posted it, kinda hard not to see it  [18:42] 

Ollie: Are you two official? [18:43] 

Isack: Idk, I don’t want to rush it [18:44] 

Ollie: well, I’ll tell you one thing. Gabriel is NOT into older men like that. With Nico he’s just more endearing since it’s a veteran racer, who’s being insanely nice to him. [18:46] 

Ollie: I mean Maini is like, what?, four years older than him and he was the same way. He really doesn’t like it, and the comments don’t really hit his head either [18:48] 

Isack: Yeah, I feel stupid [18:50] 

Ollie: no need [18:50] 

Ollie: Nico and he definitely get touchy with each other. But I’m sure you’re who he thinks about anyways [18:52] 

Isack: I mean, I feel stupid because I’m getting jealous about this. He and I aren’t even together [18:53]

LIam: Gabriellllll, what was that with nico after the race? [19:17] 

Gabi: what? [19:20] 

Liam: Setting aside the obvious ass smack in the post race interviews. You going over to congratulate him. How does it feel to have an older gentlemans hands on your waist, good sir? [19:22] 

Gabi: I was congratulating him, with helmets it’s hard to hear. So I moved in closer [19:23]
