[Not a fanfic - MMC inspired by Charles Leclerc] Sydney only ever wanted to attend one F1 Grand Prix. She figured she'd fly over, support her brother in his race, and be on her way. That would have been the perfect plan, had she not found herself in a fake relationship with Henry, her brother's best friend and teammate. He needed the world to believe he was a wholesome romantic.
