"You're dead to me, Charles," she gasped. "You promised, Mar!" he yelled after her. She came to a halt. Without a second glance, she replied, "And I've kept mine for way too long." -------- Margot has loved Charles since they were kids hitting the karting tracks and dreaming of futures bigger than their small heads could fathom. But when Charles became a driver in Formula 1, soaring through the ranks while people whispered his name in awe, the boy who once held her hand and promised forever disappeared into a world of speed, fame, and shallow affections-leaving Margot and her heart behind. To him, she is a memory of the past he can remember or discard at will. To her, he's the ache she can't forget and the betrayal she can't forgive. But when a single drunk dial and an everlasting heartbreak bring their lives crashing back together, Margot must decide whether the boy she loved still lives inside the man who broke her, and if her love is worth rebuilding from the shards he left behind. ❗content warning: strong language, mature scenes, death, panic attacks [FINISHED] ⚠️ This is a work of fiction!

Grief doesn't always come with funerals. Sometimes, it comes quietly-through the slammed door of an apartment you swore you'd never return to. Through the bruises that finally faded but left something heavier behind. Beatrice Piastri knew this kind of grief. The quiet kind. The kind you carry in your chest long after the world thinks you're fine. Leaving him hadn't been the hardest part. Surviving him had. Now, months later, she was back in the paddock-Oscar's little sister with a name of her own, finally trying to breathe again. She'd built a wall of armor out of silence and sharp smiles, convinced she didn't need anyone else. Until him. Lando Norris wasn't supposed to notice her. Not really. Not in the way he did. He had his own weight to carry: the pressure of a world watching, a team that expected wins, and a legacy he was still trying to build before the world decided he'd missed his chance. The fun, smiling front man of McLaren-charming, chaotic, untouchable-was just a shell on most days. Behind the jokes was a mind overclocked with pressure, self-doubt, and the unbearable demand to always be more. They weren't looking for each other. They weren't ready for each other. But broken things sometimes recognize each other in the dark. And when they do- They don't always fix each other. But sometimes, they make surviving feel a little less lonely. --- Based on te 2024 season, all referencese to people are purely casual.

She was hired to keep him sharp. He was determined to prove he didn't need her. What started as sharp words and late-night clashes in the garage spirals into something neither of them can control. Between podiums, press scandals, and stolen moments behind closed doors, their rivalry turns into fire - and fire spreads fast. In the world's most high-stakes sport, where every second counts, they'll have to decide whether risking it all for each other is worth the crash. Max Verstappen x OC (Catherine Rowan)

Her heart had always betrayed her. Madeline grew up knowing it could stop at any moment - not from love, not from grief, but from a flaw stitched into her since birth. She learned to smile through hospital rooms, to hide the pills in her bag, to pretend the tremor in her chest was nothing more than nerves. And then there was Lando. Bright, reckless, full of speed and sunlight. He lived like tomorrow wasn't promised - while Madeline lived every day fearing it might be her last. Their worlds were never meant to cross. But when they did, the crash was inevitable. And beautiful. And dangerous. Because some hearts are too fragile to hold. And some loves burn too brightly to survive.

She knew the rules. He made her want to break every single one. Chelsea has always played it safe-until her sister's best friend crashes back into her life. Lando Norris: F1's golden boy, heartbreak wrapped in a race suit and completely off-limits. He's the one her sister had a crush on first. He's the one who warned Chelsea not to fall for him. Lando doesn't do relationships-and he's made that clear. But what happens when the one girl he's supposed to avoid becomes the only one he can't let go of? Love was never part of the plan. But neither was she.

Before the world knew his name, she knew his heart. "I have a feeling you got everything you wanted." "I don't have everything - because I don't have you." She was his best friend. He was the inspiration for every single one of her love songs. When Lando leaves their hometown to chase his dream of becoming a Formula One world champion, Hunter stays behind-writing music about everything he left unsaid. Years pass, miles stretch, and silence grows where friendship once lived. But when fame brings Lando back into her orbit, old wounds resurface-and so do the feelings they both tried to outgrow. He's living the life he always wanted. She's singing the truth she never told him. What happens when the person you can't forget is the only thing missing from the life you thought you wanted? #2 in LN4 #2 in mclaren #16 in F1

'I don't want to see him, I can't. I could never look him in the eyes again, because all I'd think about is how it was all my fault.' Two years. That's the time Céline has spent away from home. A few hours. A few hours in the big metropolis to change her life forever. Now she's returned to Monte Carlo, determined to put an end to her past and start living again. But it's not that simple.

The glass hit the wall before the sentence even finished. Max didn't flinch. He just stood there, chest heaving, eyes burning with that fury Faye had learned to both fear and crave. "You think you can just lie to me, Faye?" His voice cracked - not from weakness, but from something sharper. Betrayal. Faye laughed. The kind of laugh that hurts more than any scream. "You didn't even let me talk, Max. You never do." He slammed his fist against the table. The sound echoed through the Monaco apartment, followed by silence - the dangerous kind. In that silence, she could hear her own heartbeat, frantic and broken. He took one step closer. Then another. "Tell me you didn't sleep with him." "Tell me you trust me." Neither spoke after that. The distance between them burned like fire - until one of them finally reached for the door. That was the night everything detonated. And neither of them had been the same since.

For Lando Norris, chasing his first Formula One championship was supposed to be the dream of a lifetime, but the pursuit of glory has cost him the one thing he can't replace-his marriage. With a young son caught in the middle and a wife who's walked away from the life they built together, Lando is forced to confront the painful truth: victories on the track mean nothing if he loses the love waiting at home. Now, with his world unraveling, he must find a way to fight not just for a title, but for the woman who once believed in him-and for the family that still holds his heart.
