Wrath & Protest [Max Verstappen]

"... [A]s they continued to stare at the grid's new addition in awe, Max looked on with nothing but silent skepticism. A woman? Oh, please. She was merely a girl, one that was way too optimistic and naive. In the dog-eat-dog world of Formula One, that gentle aura couldn't get her anywhere, especially if Max Verstappen shared the track with her."

Although Max is skeptical, he isn't all that fazed when Toro Rosso announces their new, all-American female driver. As the new season begins, however, Max is introduced to immense pressure coming from all sides. Within the year, he finds himself fighting harder to preserve his seat at Red Bull, trying to somehow manage a rivalry with a midfield driver, and coping with the expectations of becoming the youngest World Champion in F1 history all at once... Perhaps there might be lessons to be learned, new relationships to be cherished.

Or maybe all of it will just go up in smoke.
