Has Liam told anyone?
Yuki
No
He won’t
I make sure

Alex

George
Why are you laughing!? He saw us!! He could tell people!!!
Alex
I don’t think he will babe
George
How can you know that
Alex
I know him a little bit, he’s a nice guy babe. And, given that was like three days ago, I feel like he would have leaked it already if he was going to
George
I guess
We just need to be more careful
Alex
WE?
You kissed me, if you recall
George
You should have stopped me. We were in a club bathroom.
Alex
…
You want me to not kiss you? When we’re alone?
George
Well
Okay
Maybe not
But
Alex
It’s going to be okay honey
I really don’t think Liam will do anything
George
Okay

The Gaytet
24 February 6:10pm
George
Liam Lawson knows about Alex and I. He saw us making out in a club in Monaco. I am so worried he’s going to tell everyone.
Alex
I thought we had discussed this already babe
George
I just don't trust him
We don't know him
Charles
We can trust Pierre and Yuki
Lando
Hahajajaha
Busted
George
Thanks for the sympathy Lando
Lando
❤️😊
Charles
Yuki thinks we should add him to the chat
Lando
Is he even 🍊🍇🍎
Charles
Daniel’s not and he’s in the chat
Lando
Yea
But thats coz its Daniel
George
We are NOT adding him! He doesn’t know us!
Lando
He kniws u and Alex are 👉⭕ tho
Alex
💀
Lando
😏😏😏😎
Charles
He might be we haven’t asked
George
Please. He gives major straight boy energy.
Alex
So do you sometimes.
Lando
Hahahajahdhlkhaha
He does not
He gives lesbian mother at a football match
Alex
Hahahahahahahah
Charles
Hahahahahaha
George
Guys. This is serious.
Lando
Yes mum
Charles
Mama
Alex
Mummy 😏
George
@Alex do you want to sleep on the couch?
Lando
Ooooh mum is pissed guys
Alex
Fine, fine
Continue George
George
Thank you love.
We add Liam to the chat, he learns everything. It’s not just our decision. You all know the rules, we have to run it by everyone before anyone new gets added.
Alex
Yes, yes, we know. But we all know that it’s you and Lewis that have final say, you’re the most anal about it.
Lando
😏😏😏
Charles
Phrasing Alex
Alex
😎😎
George
I am ignoring that.
So you three are okay with adding Liam to the chat?
Charles
Eh, sure. If he’s going to be in the Red Bull team then he should probably know.
Lando
And why is that Charlie
Alex
Yea
Charles
Ah because Max is gay? He’s the three time world champion? He has the most to lose if anything were to get out?
Lando
Can u give us more Max stats pls Charlie
Alex
Yeah
How many points does he have so far? How many pole positions?
Charles
No. I am not the president of his fan club.
Lando
No? Youre xmas gift last year says diffrnt.
Charles
*different
Lando
Homophobe
Charles
I am gay
Lando
HOMOFOBE
George
@Alex @Lando are you both okay with Liam being added to the chat?
@Charles How many points has Max achieved in his entire career? Please find the PowerPoint presentation you have 100% made.
Charles
You’re so annoying @George
@Alex how did you marry such an uptight lesbian
Alex
He’s not so uptight for me
😏😏
Lando
🤮🤮🤮
Charles
😐😐🙄
George
Thank you my love ❤️
Okay. I will ask Lewis and get back to you.
Lando
Okay mum
George
Go drink your juice Lando
Charles
He cant
Oscar isnt with him
Lando
💀💀💀
??? does that evn mean
Lewis and George
24 February 6:20pm
George
Hi Lewis.
Lewis
Hi George. Is everything okay?
George
I was wondering if you would be okay with Liam Lawson being added to the F1 chat
Lewis
Isn’t he in the chat already?
George
The other chat
Lewis
Ah. Right. Um… how come?
George
He knows about Alex and I.
Lewis
Jesus. Did you two idiots make out in a club bathroom again?
George
No comment.
But.
Yes.
Lewis
You really never listened to me did you.
George
It was Alex.
Lewis
Yes, I am sure that Alex Albon, the softest guy in the grid, was the one to boss you around.
George
Anyways.
Thoughts?
Lewis
I mean, is he gay? Bi? Pan?
George
We don’t know. I think he’s straight. Yuki says he’s an ally.
Lewis
We have two ally’s in the chat, so there is precedence for that I suppose. And we are supposed to be inclusive.
George
Of straight people? Two I can handle Lewis, not sure about three.
Lewis
😆😆
But if Liam is going to be partnered with Max next year, and all the current grid drivers are in the chat, then it makes sense for him to be in the chat. Things could get awkward.
He’s also the perfect person to add to the other chat, given how close he will be to Max.
George
There is that… they are becoming more and more insufferable by the day.
I am just worried that we don’t know him well enough. Everyone has a lot to lose. If the chat got leaked…
Lewis
I understand your point.
Yuki trusts him right?
George
They used to live together during F3.
Lewis
How does he not know about him and Pierre then???
George
I don’t know. Should I ask?
Lewis
Nico says Yuki should tell Liam about Pierre and get his reaction. Based of that we can add to the chat or not.
I agree with Nico, even if I am hesitant to force Yuki to come out to a friend. If he isn’t out already.
George
Okay. I will ask him.
George and Yuki
24 February 6:30pm
George
Okay, here’s the deal on adding Liam to the chat. You need to tell him about you and Pierre and if he’s reaction is good then we add him.
Yuki
…
You want me to out myself and my boyfriend?
George
I’m surprised the doesn’t know already Yuki, based on how you two act.
Yuki
Says the 2 caught in a club bathroom
George
…
Why do you want Liam added anyways?
Yuki
So he can help with Project Lestappen
Obvs
George
He is in a very excellent position to help.
Yuki
The best!
Checo wants him added
Liam ask him once if there was anything btw Max and Charles
Checo’s face 😆😆😆😆
George
He did? Okay, maybe more of an ally than we thought.
Yuki
He not homophobic. He kiwi, they arnt like that.
George
True.
Lewis and Nico would still like his reaction to you and Pierre. If we judge this wrong and the chat is leaked…
Yuki
…
I will ask Pierre.
George
Why haven’t you told Liam yet?
Yuki
Dunno
Scared or whatever
I will tell him.
Yuki and Pierre
24 February 6:40pm
Yuki
Lewis wants us to tell Liam about us before we add him to the chat
❤️Pierre❤️
Huh?
Yuki
We need to tell Liam about us being bfs before George will add him to the fruity chat
❤️Pierre❤️
Isn’t that… you know… wrong?
We’d be outing ourselves
Yuki
I think he might know already
You left some of ur stuff once
❤️Pierre❤️
😆😆 and he wondered when you got so big???
Yuki
FU
But
Yes
So, thoughts?
❤️Pierre❤️
I mean, le bien
Sure
Do you want to? You’re the one who always freaks out, really.
Yuki
Just worried about my parents finding out.
❤️Pierre❤️
He wouldn’t tell them, qui?
Yuki
No. He’s never told them anything b4
❤️Pierre❤️
Good ❤️
Yuki
R u sure?
❤️Pierre❤️
Qui. I think it would be good practice for us. We’re going to have to tell more people one day.
Yuki
Awww you want to be with me forever P?
❤️Pierre❤️
Shut up demon
You know I do
Yuki
🤮🤮❤️❤️
❤️Pierre❤️
Don’t mock me my little sushi
Yuki
Never
Okay

❤️Pierre❤️

George
Hello guys. I have a proposal to add Liam Lawson, our new Red Bull driver, to this chat. He knows about myself and Alex and Yuki and Pierre. Lewis is okay with it, but as always, we need a complete majority. Can everyone indicate how they feel about this please?

Daniel
Awwwww ❤️❤️❤️
Okay, @Liam. Welcome to the offical F1 chat. This is the real deal here. Top secret. More secret than the CIA. Basically, Checo and I are straight. No one else is.
Liam
…
What? I am so confused.
Wait
What?
Charles
Bless you Liam.
Checo
I was confused when I was added @Liam
But I am so glad you are here.

Carlos
LANDO
Checo
LANDO!!
Lando
🤐🤐
Max
LANDO
Charles
LANDO
Daniel
Anyhoo looking over here @Liam
Basically, Checo and I are the only straight people. Everyone else is either gay or bisexual or something else entirely @Valterri wink wink
Alex and George are married, as are Kevin and Niko. Pierre and Yuki are dating.
This is the chat where we talk about all things SLAY AND GAY and help protect each other / provide cover / give advice
Lewis
It is pretty sacred @Liam
Liam
…
OMG
OMFG
I don’t know what to say
Is this the gayest sport in the world?
Lando
No
Football
George
It is strange yes that so many of us are queer, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. We added you to this chat because you’re going to be on the grid now, with us, and this way a lot of things you’ll see and overhear will make sense
Charles
See???
George
You know what I mean
Pierre
😏😏😏
George
Please do not tell anyone about this.
Liam
I would never.
Do the teams know?
Lewis
Some of our engineers know. And everyone’s trainers know.
Max
There is a separate trainer chat I believe, where they just complain about us.
Charles
What? How do you know this?
Daniel
Because all they do is complain about you two.
Max
??
Charles
??
Daniel
😏😏
Oscar
@Liam this chat was SO helpful to me when I first joined
Logan
@And me
Lando
Which catgory are you in @Liam
Gay, bi, stiraght
Alex
@Lando you cannot just ask people that
Lando
I can and I will
Carlos
@Lando we spoke about this
Liam
It’s alright. I don’t know at this stage.
But I am an ally.
Thank you for trusting me with this chat guys, I feel really honoured!
Daniel
Welcome baby Liam!!
You can decide what fruit you are later, or never
We’re doing a fruity dinner in Bahrain
Liam
A fruity dinner?
George
It’s the name (I did not come up with it) for a dinner we hold every race weekend, and at other points, where people can be open about their partners, sexualities etc
Daniel
I proudly invented the name ❤️
Liam
Sounds fun!
Daniel
