Max Verstappen has been known for his ruthless and, many times, unfiltered attitude but one thing has proven to be true: he is talented. Red Bull's dominance has been shaking down rival teams' confidence, and Mercedes decided to take it one step further. If they want to take down someone like Max, they need to know his weakness, and after thinking about it for a while, they have a way to find them. Nina Wester is a psychologist and she has been hired with a single goal: to find Max Verstappen's weaknesses and lead to his downfall. But things are never what they are meant to be, are they?

As she sat, back propped up against the blue pillows on her headboard, her hand hovered over the submit button. She had this awful feeling that if she submitted this job application, her life would never be the same again. Hazel hadn't expected to receive a job offer for the International School of Monaco, but she knew that it would be an offer she'd be an idiot to refuse. Running away from a toxic ex, Hazel finds herself in Monte Carlo, surrounded by the rich and famous. Looking for a quiet life where she can teach chemistry to pupils in a new environment, she never expected to bump into somebody who could tear her away from the normalcy she craved.

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.

A genius spy. A racing champion. A shadow lurking in the paddock.

He races for Red Bull. She designs his wings. Falling for each other? That wasn't on the grid. She's the aerodynamicist every team wants. He's the driver no one can catch.

Quick author note; Heyy, so first time writing a fic, no idea what I'm doing. But I promise it gets better in the later chaps. First few are definitely a bit boring cus it all slowly builds up. This is slow-burn with fluff, and no smut.
