Yes, this is inspired by kissing booth.

I walk into the redbull paddock with Max. We're talking about a fun booth for the Red Bull Carnaval. All the money that we as Red Bull employees make, goes to charities. It is one of the biggest events of the year. "What about a corndog booth?" I look at him and we both start to laugh.
"What are you talking about?" Most of the famous booths are taken.
"Listen smartypants. I'm doing all the thinking and you're doing all the judging." We laugh once again. Max and I immediately got a long when I joined the team. Probably because we're alike. We walk into the conference room, where there is a meeting with all the drivers to discuss small things. We sit down in the nearest chairs and wait for the rest to come.
Lando walks in and my heart does a flip. I've liked Lando since I met him 3 years ago at F2. Max obviously knows because I'm bad at secrets.
"I'd like to kiss him, but I must probably pay for it," I whisper to Max. He laughs slightly.
"I think it's the other way around," Max says and I smile at him. Lando sits right behind us and we both sit up straight. Max turns around and greets lando and carlos with the hand. I also turn around and wave shyly.
I always get a hug from everyone except from Lando. He always shakes my hand when I want to go for a hug. "Hey you guys," Carlos says smiling at us and before anything awkward happens, the FIA president starts talking.
"That was the longest and the most boring speech ever," Max says, while we both walk out of the room. "But while he was speaking, I got an idea for our fundraiser." I look at him with excitement in my eyes.
"Yeah?" I question him and we stop walking.
"Since you have a crush on Loverboy over there," he points at Lando to which my eyes follow and I immediately push his arm down, "And you said that you would pay to kiss him, we ca do a kissing booth." My eyes shine with happiness.
"That's the best idea you have ever had. For once I can be proud of you."
"Heyyyy!" He says upset and pushes me playfully. I love the relationship we have. We are literally most of the time together. We will never date though because we just don't have that spark between us. Everyone on the grid and on the outside world thinks that we're secretly dating but they are so wrong. Since Dilara broke up with Max, it only got worse. She broke up with him because she thought we were dating behind her back but Max is my best friend and we share everything except for feeling though.
"Do you think Christian will approve of the kissing booth?" I ask as we enter the Red Bull paddock.
"He better," Max says and Christian walks over to us. He shakes our hands and greet us.
"How are my favourite duo of all time?" Christian loves the fact that both of his drivers get along good and it took a long time to convince him that it won't influence our driving. Sometimes I just stay away from Max when we drive because he is a wild driver. There was one time where we bumped and thankfully I retired and not Max or else we wouldn't be friends anymore.
"Very good, that conference sucked. Anyway, Max wants to ask you something," I say and Max give me an evil eye. Just suck it up cupcake. Christian looks at Max and Max sighs.
"Umm, we both were wondering if we can do a kissing booth for the fundraiser." We both cross our fingers and look at Christian waiting for his answer. He thinks for a moment and nods.
"Really?" I ask and jump up. Max hugs me and Christian clears his throat and we pull away.
"On one condition, you two must organise everything and this better not be a flop or else the red bull boss wouldn't be to happy with us. You have 2 months to prepare for that booth of yours. Well, we have to get ready for first practise so go do your exercises."
