PROJECT: Make Lando Norris likable Step 1: Don't punch him. Step 2: Get fans to like him. Step 3: Definitely don't start liking him yourself.

Once inseparable childhood friends, Lando and Oscar drift apart as life and different dreams take them to opposite sides of the world. Years later, fate unexpectedly brings them back together, forcing them to face the unspoken feelings and broken bonds of their past.

"You wanna try?" Said the curly-haired boy with a helmet in one hand and Oscar's fate in the other. They were supposed to make it to F1 together. And technically? They did. But now Lando can't stand to look at him. And Oscar? He's still trying to fix something he never meant to break. Or: the one where Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were childhood best friends, maybe something more, until everything exploded-and now they're stuck side by side, pretending they don't remember every second of what they lost.

On a night that was supposed to be nothing more than a casual party with friends, things spiral in a direction neither of them ever expected. After one drink too many, Lando Norris and his best friend make a mistake they can't undo: Ending up in bed together, blurring the line they had always promised never to cross. The next morning is filled with confusion, regret, and unspoken tension... but they convince themselves it was just a one-time lapse in judgment. Until a few weeks later, when everything changes. An unexpected pregnancy turns their lives upside down, forcing them to confront not just what happened that night, but what they truly mean to each other. Their friendship is pushed to its limits, feelings they've buried for years begin to surface, and they're left facing a reality neither of them is ready for. Now they have to decide: can they find a way forward together... or will one mistake cost them everything?

Oscar is just another engineering student trying to survive university, keep his head down, and get through life one day at a time. Lando is a popular Twitch streamer balancing his online persona with his studies, chaos, and a life that never really slows down. They weren't supposed to collide. But when Oscar starts getting quieter, more tired, and harder to read with each passing week, Lando can't help but notice. Something is wrong, and Oscar is getting very good at pretending it isn't. Between late-night streams, campus chaos, and growing suspicion, Lando starts piecing together that Oscar is hiding something far bigger than he's letting on. Because while they're living normal lives, a Formula 1 driver is quietly taking over the season, and it's starting to feel like everything is connected in ways neither of them understand. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning: contains panic attacks, anxiety, and emotional/trauma-related themes
