Say it before you run out of time. Say it before it's too late. Say what you're feeling. Waiting is a mistake. FORMULA ONE AU OSCAR PIASTRI COVER BY @/SWAIIOWTAIL

In which Indigo Mercier, an actor who has no filter, gets invited to the Grand Prix by McLaren Racing after saying that one of their drivers has bottom eyes on live television.

Upon her laughing at my struggle, a smile naturally creeps onto my face. "Sorry. What I mean to say is I would like for you to come with me. If you come, you could finally know what my job is." She grins widely. "Because you are not a mechanic, but you won't tell what your real job is." "Exactly, but if you come..." She presses her lips together and then pouts slightly. "I can't." My smile drops. "I'm sorry, Max, my flight leaves Thursday morning." Disappointed, I shrug in an attempt to play it casual. "It's okay," I say softly, and she scrunches her nose at the pet name. "But tell me the truth, would you have come if you were staying longer?" She smiles widely and I mimic her. "Depends, would you continue acting like an asshole?" I chuckle. I know she will never let that go, and weirdly it brings me joy because that means that she will never forget the day we met. And I don't want her to forget it because it is forged forever in my mind. I am bound by that day, but if I am bound, she should be too. I want us to be bound forever by that day. "Maybe. Depends if you will text me this time." "Then maybe." With a grin on my face, I reply, "Maybe is good enough for now." A lie. Truly, maybe is not enough, but I will wait for her forever if it is necessary. I barely know her, but I want her to like me at least a portion of how much I like her because her mere presence makes me happy, and I believe I have the same effect on her. ------------------------------- Two pressured souls to succeed, longing for love. Max Verstappen, a seemingly ruthless driver, finds himself drawn to Vanessa Teixeiro, the sweetest soul with many secrets he is eager to unravel. Two sides of the same coin collide and can't seem to escape the other. Vanessa knows she should keep her distance from him, as he is too tempting for her, especially at the wrong time. However, Max is determined to keep crossing paths with her. He has fallen for her, but will she fall for him too?

She was hired to keep him sharp. He was determined to prove he didn't need her. What started as sharp words and late-night clashes in the garage spirals into something neither of them can control. Between podiums, press scandals, and stolen moments behind closed doors, their rivalry turns into fire - and fire spreads fast. In the world's most high-stakes sport, where every second counts, they'll have to decide whether risking it all for each other is worth the crash. Max Verstappen x OC (Catherine Rowan)

Valerie Rosière-reclusive couture prodigy and creator of the famed Twenty-Eight Dresses-is dragged into the spotlight when McLaren recruits her for an exclusive collaboration. Suddenly surrounded by cameras, chaos, and the fast world of Formula One, she crosses paths with Oscar Piastri: calm, sharp, quietly magnetic. As the partnership grows, so does their connection-soft, slow, and entirely unexpected. In a world built on speed, Valerie must learn what it means to take a risk on something she can't design or control.

"To the grid, he's a seven-time World Champion. To him, she's just the quiet logistics girl holding his world together. But she has a multi-billion dollar secret." Eliana 'Ila' Vance is hiding in plain sight. To the Formula 1 paddock, she's just a quiet twenty-one-year-old tracking freight containers in an oversized team jacket. But behind encrypted screens, she is the undercover owner of Vance Dynamics-the elite engineering empire supplying half the grid. She just wanted to experience a normal life. She never expected Sir Lewis Hamilton to duck into her office to escape the cameras.What starts as a quiet sanctuary and a shared morning coffee routine quickly sparks a slow-burn connection. Lewis is completely drawn to her grounding presence, fully believing she is a struggling graduate trying to get by. He protects her, looks out for her, and slowly falls for her. But with her real identity threatening to collide with his racing career, Eliana is running out of track. How do you tell the man you love that you secretly own the technology in his car?

Formula 1 is not just about speed - it is a real war. A war for titles, influence and control. When the Mercedes empire begins to falter under the pressure of Red Bull, Toto Wolff makes a risky bet on Eleanor Ford. A lawyer who recognizes no authority and despises the system she is forced to exist in. She is his greatest weapon and his biggest threat. He is a man used to controlling everything, except his own instincts. And between them - the 2021 season, Lewis Hamilton's guilt, Max Verstappen's hunger for risk, the dirty politics of Formula 1 and a line that all four of them are dangerously close to crossing. The wrong time. The wrong people. And a pull far too strong to ignore.

Isla MacLean had a solid life. It consisted of her two dogs, Beag and Mòr, developing world-class video games, and a strictly pragmatic arrangement with Max Verstappen that required only two things: discretion and latex. Friends with benefits. No drama. Zero complications. Just the occasional hotel room, a mutual understanding, and the comforting lie that two functioning adults can actually keep anything "casual" forever. Then, a condom breaks. Now Isla has a problem that can't be fixed with caffeine, sarcasm, or burying herself in work. Meanwhile, Max is discovering that "control" is a lovely concept right up until biology laughs in his face. Between the chaos of the paddock, two people who are well trained at dodging emotional honesty, and a future that refuses to stay quiet, their perfectly unlabelled setup starts to feel dangerously... real. It's only a wee bit pregnant, after all. What's the worst that could happen? [] Start: March 6, 2026 Weekly updates

I lived with my mother until I was nineteen. A simple, quiet life... far away from the spotlight. Formula 1 had always been something I watched from a distance, like any other fan. Sunday races. Favourite drivers. Dreams that felt impossibly far away. Until the day someone knocked on the door. A man I had never seen before. A man who would change everything. Adam Norris. And suddenly... the world I had only ever watched on television... became my reality. A new family. A new life. A world where speed, pressure, and secrets go hand in hand. And in the middle of it all... Him. Max Verstappen. Cold. Calculated. Intimidating. And apparently... completely unreachable. But in the Formula 1 paddock, nothing is ever quite what it seems. Between lingering glances, unexpected encounters, and feelings that appear when you least expect them... she begins to realise that the world of Formula 1 is far more dangerous off track than on it. And maybe... the biggest risk isn't the speed. But falling in love with someone who was never supposed to be within reach. 18+

For Oscar Piastri, life is a series of high-speed equations, a disciplined vacuum of data, telemetry, and clinical precision. But when he returns home to the rugged coast of Australia for the off-season, he finds his quiet sanctuary occupied by a variable he didn't calculate: Siofra Larkin. Siofra is a writer who is messy, poetic, and fueled by the very human chaos that Oscar has spent his career trying to eliminate. Forced into a shared living arrangement by a twist of fate and family connections, the two are a study in friction. He views her work as inefficient; she views his life as a hollow pursuit of speed. As the season looms and the pressure of the global stage beckons, they must decide if their connection is merely a temporary detour or a permanent change in their trajectory. In a sport where every second counts, they are about to learn that some of the best stories happen when you finally stop watching the clock.
