"Leclerc is mad you tried to overtake him when Axel told you not to."
"Tell him to cry about it."
━━━━ ( A Little Bit Of Context . . . )
LEIGH WONG DESPISES CHARLES LECLERC. Ever since their first meeting on the track, they have been plunged into a career-long war for trophies, wins and titles. The following battles that ensued were intense, to say the least, filled with sabotage and pumping blood, contact and crashes. Charles Leclerc is the bane of her existence, and she will play the devil's advocate to make sure she comes out on top of him in the end.
CHARLES LECLERC LOATHES LEIGH WONG, but maybe he doesn't, not as much. Maybe he's just threatened by her, the only person who came close to snatching the throne out right from underneath him, down to the wire. Maybe he doesn't hate her, he just hates the idea of losing, of being second-best. Leigh Wong has always been put at an disadvantage, which makes it even more frustrating when she always, always comes back stronger than him. For his entire career, Leigh Wong has been the bar he's been examined against, and that is what he truly loathes.
BUT LEIGH IS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING when she finds out that she and Charles Leclerc are going to be partners for this year's Formula One season. And to make matters worse, being rookies in the same year, both with their sights set on the second Ferrari seat left empty by Kimi Raikkonen — the pressure is on, it's climbing, it's boiling.
Everything has a limit. This might just explode.

( Disclaimers )
i. This is purely a work of fiction, and my portrayal of the characters in no way reflects them in real life.
ii. I speak Chinese and Malay and a little bit of Hokkien (basically the Malaysian slang words Leigh and Arina throw around in the book lol), but what I do not speak is French (I did five Duolingo lessons and broke my streak, never looked back), so most of the French words and sentences come out from Google Translate and might have a lot of inaccuracies, so please bear with it as I have no idea if what Google Translate is giving me is correct bye
iii. Leigh is Malaysian! About time we got some recognition ngl, but her culture and everything are based on my own experiences in Malaysia (a lot of experiences since I've been stuck here my whole life), but even if there are any inaccuracies, please do bear with me and let me know if I get anything wrong!
iv. This book is set from the 2018 season onwards, which means that there might be some pop culture inaccuracies (e.g. songs that haven't been released in 2018 being mentioned) so let's just pretend it doesn't matter because it's fanfiction anyways lol
v. This book might contain some triggering topics such as alcohol, lots of swearing, sexual-ish themes (no smut though I am not a smut writer and honestly it makes me super uncomfortable) and a few other topics — I will specify them at the beginning of any chapters containing topics like those, but please do proceed with caution if you find any of those triggering!
"You're smiling so much right now. It's gross."
"He's a funny guy!"
"Stop denying that you're in love with him. No man is that funny."
