The cameras loved them. The perfect F1 power couple - the reigning world champion and the breathtaking model wife. But behind the flawless smiles and diamond rings, the marriage was nothing more than a carefully drafted contract. Adriana Cortés knew how to play the role. She could smile for the headlines, pose for the flashbulbs, even touch Max's arm just enough to keep the tabloids guessing. What the world didn't know was that every word they exchanged off-camera carried an edge, a dare. Max Verstappen hated pretence. And yet here he was, tying his life to a woman who challenged him with a single glance... and who, unbeknownst to him, had left her heart - and more - in the hands of another driver. On the day of their wedding, champagne sparkled under the chandeliers, the crowd cheered, the photographers clicked. Only Adriana's gaze drifted - for a fleeting heartbeat - to a figure standing among the groomsmen, a crooked smile just for her. The cameras never caught it. But Max did.

Charles Leclerc's perfectly put together life and plan is thrown off kilter when the stunning daughter of one of Ferrari's new sponsor's is forced around the world with the team. Alessia Amon, or Lacey as she's known online, is famous in her own right, with a large following on Instagram, TikTok and any other social media platform you can think of - including OnlyFans. She's a disaster to be around Ferrari's golden boy who can't understand why everything goes she does affects him so bad and why he's tempted to throw away his perfect persona for someone he doesn't even like? ***** Sex scenes, swearing and a bit of a toxic dynamic... Also disclaimer: I do not own the character's except the OC's and I definitely do not claim that these are what people are like (specifically Charles) - I just wanted to play around with the idea that there's something a bit darker underlying him because he's just so often pictured as being 'perfect' likely because he is but this is just sort of a ... what if it was an act and then someone comes along and throws a spanner in the works kind of idea!

What happens when an F1 driver is no longer allowed to drive on the road? Lando wasn't supposed to be stranded, keyless, and babysat by a silent driver with a better poker face than the universe itself. "You're not even gonna say hi?" he asked. She blinked once. Maybe? Now it's raining, he's got nothing but chocolate bars, and apparently, nowhere to go but deeper into the mess he started. How you may ask? Well- step one: get grounded by your own bad decisions. step two: end up chauffeured by someone who looks like she's plotting your funeral. step three: realize you might actually deserve it. "awesome," lando muttered. "love that for me." ~a romantic comedy~ themes and tropes : *forced proximity *black cat x orange cat *age gap kinda *mentions of messy families *stress and burnouts *can't talk x can't not talk uhhh a few more but that'll ruin the fun <3 gabriella is full of surprises if you've read until here, drop an emoji in your favourite colour :)

Somewhere in Tuscany, two people cross paths- one lost and one making the most out of a month of freedom. No responsibilities. No expectations. No judgements. It's just them and the countryside. Could this be the escape they badly crave or just a disaster waiting to happen? Ranked #1 Charles | 07.16.22 Ranked #4 Charles Leclerc | 07.01.22 Ranked #2 F1 | 06.20.23 06.03.22 - 08.15.22
