At the start of the 2026 Formula 1 season, reigning World Champion Max Verstappen has one goal: domination. With Red Bull gunning for perfection and legacy cementation on the line, there's no room for distractions. Then Gianpiero Lambiase - Max's long-time race engineer and the only person he's ever trusted behind a headset - goes on paternity leave. Red Bull scrambles. Their solution? Poach Sasha Langley from Mercedes. Once groomed to be Bono's successor, Sasha is brilliant, calculating, and cold as carbon fiber. She's also the last person Max wants in his garage. He makes that clear. But Formula 1 doesn't care about feelings. Just results. And Sasha? She delivers. Thrown together under the blistering lights of the paddock, they clash - publicly, professionally, intimately. But hate has always been a close cousin of something far more dangerous. In a world where fractions define legacies and trust is earned in milliseconds, what begins as a war of wills may just become the one thing neither of them planned for: Something real.

He's a four-time world champion. She's the journalist who never pulls her punches. What begins as friction becomes something neither of them saw coming. Kamileh Rivera has spent years carving out her space in the fast-paced, high-stakes world of Formula 1 journalism. Sharp, unfiltered, and impossible to ignore, her voice is finally being heard-and she refuses to soften it for anyone. Especially not Max Verstappen. Focused. Brilliant. Untouchable. Max doesn't have time for distractions, and Kamileh's pointed questions and relentless professionalism should be just that-background noise. But every race weekend, every press conference, every stolen moment between the chaos of engines and headlines, begins to blur the lines. As the season hurtles forward, so do the things they're both trying to outrun: pressure, doubt, and feelings that don't belong in a sport like this.

Our secret moments in a crowded room They got no idea about me and you There is an indentation in the shape of you Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo - Dress by Taylor Swift ----- When Lydia Joanne Rivers moved into her sleek new apartment in Monaco, the last thing she expected was to end up in a screaming match with her next-door neighbor-who also happens to be Max Verstappen, Formula 1's most ruthless driver and international sex symbol. He's cold, clipped, and infuriatingly smug. She's fire and fury in red lipstick, a rising star stylist for Chanel who doesn't back down. Their first encounter ends in slammed doors and shouted obscenities. Their second? Even worse. But the tension between them simmers beneath every stare, every insult, every accidental brush of skin in the elevator. And when tempers flare, so does the heat-intense, electric, and impossible to ignore. He's too old for her. She's too complicated for him. They can't stand each other- and they can't stop thinking about each other. In a city built on secrets and speed, the line between hate and desire blurs fast. And one wrong move might just leave them both breathless. Enemies, neighbors, lovers... eventually. Max Verstappen x FemOc racing driver x stylist

Toto Wolff x Rosaline (christians Horner's daughter) ________________________ He looks at her, eyes entirely on her. "That was a reckless move. A bad one." He whispers close to the side of her face. His throat bobs somewhere near, and it sends a jitter through her. "But you seemed to like it." She answered cleverly through her breath. He was too close, it clouded her oxygen, making her breathless. She tried to focus her eyes elsewhere, maybe somewhere over his shoulder. Something light touches her lips, his thumb, and it lightly brushes over. "You have no idea what you're talking about." Her pulse skyrockets. "Toto- " She tries to speak but he covers her mouth with his hand lightly, forbidding her from speaking. "Do not test me." He whispers over his hand that was covering her mouth. If there were no hand, he would certainly have kissed her. Something was pushing her to grab his hand and remove it from her over her mouth. She was being daring, staring right into his eyes. He takes one small step forward, closing all space between them. Her heart lurches. He kisses her. ________________________________ Tropes: Older man x younger girl Team principal x engineer First kiss HEA

Isabella Rossi isn't looking for anyone. Her life is already full-early mornings at her family's café, late nights lost in paint, and a city that's always too loud, too fast. Then he walks in. A stranger with a voice that lingers in her head, a gaze that holds her still, and a presence that pulls her in before she's willing to admit it. What starts as a glance becomes a game-light touches in crowded rooms, words that feel like secrets, the heat of his body close enough to taste. Every day, the space between them gets smaller. And when it finally disappears... there will be no going back.
