Clementine Leclerc was supposed to stay quiet, paint pretty things that nobody ever takes seriously anyway, and never embarrass the family name. Instead, she fell in love with Fernando Alonso.

Two months ago, her world turned upside down when she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. It felt like everything she knew shifted, but in the midst of it all, F1 became her escape, her passion, and the only thing that kept her going. She became an obsessed fan, especially drawn to the thrill of the Mercedes team and their newest driver, Kimi Antonelli, who was set to make his debut for the 2025 season. When the first Grand Prix of the season takes place in Melbourne, something unexpected happens. The hospital where she's been undergoing treatment organizes a special meeting with the F1 team, and fate has her crossing paths with Kimi himself. What starts as a brief encounter, a fleeting moment of connection, slowly grows into something more, a bond built on shared vulnerability and the understanding of what it means to fight for something you love. But with every race, every moment spent together, she grapples with her own fears-of being a burden, of being too broken, of not being enough. Kimi, caught between the pressures of his new role and his growing feelings for her, struggles with his own insecurities too. It's messy, raw, and uncertain-but as they both navigate their worlds, they begin to understand that sometimes love is the thing that keeps us alive, even when we think we can't go on. Set to the backdrop of racing and the quiet moments between the chaos, it's a story of healing, hope, and the quiet strength of two people learning to trust each other in a world where nothing is guaranteed.
