BOOK 1 Alyssa has been racing under a fake persona for most of her sporting career after becoming sick of the constant dismissal of her talent because of her gender. Gender clearly didn't play a role in driving ability. In her debut season in Formula 2 in 2018 with ART, she finished a single point behind the championship winner, Nick de Vries. She only seemed to improve and managed to beat her teammate, Robert Schwartzman, for the championship in her second year. Despite this, she refused to take off her helmet and reveal her identity to the world. If it hadn't been for Force India spotting her and recommending the young girl, despite her gender, to be a part of a dominant F2 team, Alyssa would never have made it all the way into F1. The pink team, who were successfully clawing back after a dip in performance, liked to gamble; it was certainly a risk when they decided to promote Alyssa up into F1 as a replacement for Sergio Perez. The Brit was only eighteen years old when Force India told her about Checo's retirement, and how she was to be his replacement. Her ability to maintain her F2 champion status despite filling in for him in the F1 seat on two occasions was a main motivator for the decision. They were aware of her struggles to make it as far as she had done so respected her wishes to keep the helmet on and her identity hidden. It brought them more sponsors than Esteban Ocon, and therefore more money to improve the car - why would they complain? For Alyssa, this was a real chance to prove herself. A woman can and will make it big in a male-dominated sport. But will it pay off when it's lights out?

They say grief comes in six stages. First, it's the initial shock of losing someone you love. Next, it's denial of the fact that they are really, truly gone. This is followed by a wave of anger at not only yourself, but those around you. You can bargain all you want, but nothing can change the past. After all this, you fall into a grey area of depression. It's numb, and it's cold, and it feels like it'll drag on for an eternity... ...But it doesn't, as long as acceptance follows. • this story is going to be sad • possible trigger warning • loosely inspired by 'eleven minutes' by yungblud and halsey • written july '19 •

Ever wonder what might have happened if Alyssa's path was different in the books 'Lights out' and 'Away We Go'? Here are your answers. This book will contain multiple plots upon your request so you can get a feel for how it might've been if things went down a little differently for our leading lady. These 'What If' scenarios will vary in length and may even take up multiple chapters if it's an idea you, the readers, want explored in more detail. Suggestions will be taken, however please don't be disheartened if your suggestion isn't used - this book is reliant on time and inspiration. Disclaimers: Spoilers (duh); this book will continue to use strong language and mature themes as are present in the book series; the portrayal of real life people in this book is not an accurate representation.

The world was against her, so she went against the world. /// AU - F1\\\ Ophelia Anderson was sick of being told she couldn't do something, especially when the reasons holding her back were out of her control. She wanted nothing more than to reach the pinnacle of motorsport. Unfortunately, her gender had been a key factor in many rejections. No-one wanted to race a woman on their team, blinded by the outdated idea that motor racing was a 'man's sport'. She knew she had to come up with a solution. You see, Ophelia had this determination inside of her, driving her to go to any extreme in order to achieve her dream. The rush she felt when driving on the limit was too powerful. It was a rather simple solution in her mind - people won't judge you for your gender if they don't know it, and thus 'The Phantom' was created. She couldn't be blamed for their assumptions that she was a man and she had zero intention of correcting them until she was one hundred percent certain that she could prove their doubts wrong. To do that, she knew she had to make it big - she had to win in Formula One. • Main theme and idea inspired by my F1 fan fiction series, Lights Out, which features real teams and drivers. This book is fiction and any similarities to real people is entirely coincidental. No uploading schedule.
