Max Verstappen never liked the media. He never pretended to, either. Blunt, private, and unbothered by public opinion, Max built a reputation that painted him as cold and arrogant-especially after the 2021 World Drivers' Championship, which fans claimed he "stole" from Lewis Hamilton. He didn't care. He didn't need to be liked. The media's villain narrative, fueled by Drive to Survive, only made it worse-portraying him as rude and emotionless. In truth, Max just hated faking it for the cameras.What the world didn't know was that behind the headlines and hate, he had built a quiet life with a man he loved. A man who never asked for trophies-only time.

Adrian doesn't have a face the public knows-only a voice. Under the pseudonym A. Delaine, he's quietly built a cult following through haunting audio dramas, whispered poetry, and soul-deep narration that listeners describe as "a voice you feel in your bones." He lives in the shadows of his own success, never seen, rarely named, and entirely content to let the world forget he exists. Until a podcast interview changes everything. Asked about someone he admires, Adrian answers with quiet honesty: Charles Leclerc. His words-poetic, reverent, unintentional-go viral. And then, they reach Charles. What follows is a slow, impossible unraveling. Charles finds the voice before he finds the man. Then he finds both-and nothing is the same. In a world that demands visibility, they build something hidden. Soft hands. Secret voice notes. A rooftop kiss. One lives in the spotlight. The other speaks from the shadows. But in the quiet, they find something real. A love story told in stolen moments, soft silences, and the sound of a voice that feels like home.

Both Mark Webber and Fernando Alonso have recently broken up with their girlfriends. Which sucks, because the media are so obsessed with their relationships, especially Fernando's. Fernando isn't one to waste money, so he decides that taking a close friend on a very "romantic" cruise is better than going by himself.
