~I can get lost in your brown eyes forever~ "But she doesn't have brown eyes?" "No, she doesn't, but you do!" {Their cars, like extensions of their souls} Daniel and Max have been best friends for as long as they can remember. Daniel might be a few years older than Max but they always seemed to get along. Daniel was driving for F3 while Max was still karting but their friendship kept going even when both of them were driving for Formula 1. Until the day came when Max got a girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, and all of a sudden Max started avoiding Daniel. After a year (Daniel prefers to say that it was only a few months) Max finally spoke to Daniel and they became friends again. The only two questions left lingering after they became friends again is; Will they ever be able to be more? And why did Max really avoid Daniel for a year?

Max had never thought about love before he met Daniel. His life was solely about racing. But as he's getting to know Daniel more and more, he is starting to develop some feelings he doesn't want to have. Amidst trying to please his father and his fans by protecting his title of World Champion, he is having an identity crisis. With so many thoughts and so much pressure, Max doesn't realise how bad he is hurting the people around him and he needs to make changes in order to live the life he doesn't even know he wants. Daniel has had some rough years on the track and is doing this year only as a reserve driver. That doesn't mean it will be uneventful. He develops a great connection with Max, something he thinks and hopes will turn into something more. Little did he know, it would feel like hell.
