Collision [𝗠.𝗩.]

INFORMATION

1 - This story, whilst incorporating people of the current F1 driver list (and some former drivers), is entirely a work of fiction. Like any story, there will be antagonists/villains and protagonists/heroes, but that does not mean I am intentionally villainising people for the sake of it. When it comes to the world of motorsport, especially Formula 1, drama like that which has inspired this story is commonplace.

- 1a. Please note that with it being a work of fiction, This is set in a world where women are given more of a chance to compete in F2/F3/etc. If you don't like it, read something else!

- 1b. Real events are featured here as I think to ignore them is just as disrespectful as to exploit them for entertainment. Please know I have approached these events with the utmost respect in mind.

2 - This story is loosely based on the events of the 2023 season of Formula 1. There are some alterations, however, so the grid lineup for the start of this story is as follows:

3 - While you, the reader, may find my fictionalised versions of any real-life figures to be "out of character", please note, once again, they are characters, not real people. We do not know what they're like when off-camera, so please remember that and know I have approached this with the intent of making sure I am not unfairly portraying anyone whilst correctly showing the flaws/negative personality traits they may have & creating a story with compelling antagonists/protagonists.

4 - This story may feel disjointed as there's a large gap sometimes between races/events and I don't want to write boring filler all the time. Sorrybutnotsorry!

5 - Although current Formula 2 rules dictate as soon as you've won the championship once, you can't return to the sport for two years, I'm bending that to 2 championship wins, to help my timeline.

6 - Due to the inclusion of an 11th team, points are given up to 11th place on race days (Sprint point allocations have not changed), rather than 10th. They go as follows:
1st - 25 points

2nd - 18 points

3rd - 15 points

4th - 12 points

5th - 10 points

6th - 8 points

7th - 6 points

8th - 4 points

9th - 3 points

10th - 2 points

11th - 1 point
