Theodora Drakos has only had one dream growing up; to stand on a race car podium. It had all started when she watched her father spray champagne on his own podium, at the time all she wanted was to share that moment with him, to be like him. Now, all she wanted was to one-up him. 

Formula 1 is the elite of the elite and had never been a possibility for her. Women had hardly even made it into Formula 2 or 3, both feeder series into the elusive Formula 1. 

However, she somehow secured a Formula 2 seat for the back half of the 2019 series. Accepting that her situation is a mixture of luck, talent, and raw stubbornness, she's still determined to prove herself to the big boys running the show in Formula 1. Born and raised on the racetrack, she understands the politics, what she didn't anticipate was everything else. 

Formula 1 isn't just about politics, it's about mind games, social status, and learning to deal with friendly competitors who are actually your cutthroat enemies. Theodora has never had an issue with the mind games of racing, but now she's thrown into a dynamic of people who are her enemies, but also the only people who know the struggles. They'll celebrate her triumphs, but also dance in the flames of her mistakes. 

Her entire life all she wanted was to one-up her father, but now she's faced with decisions she never thought she'd face. Battling for podiums is one thing, but figuring out what her heart wants? That's entirely another.

Sofia Rodriguez thought she had it all. A boyfriend she loves and who loves her, her job as a content creator, two best friends with whom she experiences and shares everything, and the dream of making her own music, which she is chasing. But what if the relationship she always thought was perfect, like her parents', isn't perfect at all and one night can turn her whole life upside down? What if your entire life goes completely off the rails and you no longer really know what you want in your life? And as the saying goes? One bad thing is usually followed by a thousand others. But what if all these setbacks lead to something bigger? An opportunity that Sofia never expected to get. A new life, a new zest for life and all because of her two best friends, new friendships she makes and an all-too-familiar Formula 1 driver who shows her how beautiful life can be. However, being in the spotlight is not always an advantage, especially if the press is just waiting for you to make mistakes. Lando Norris can tell you a thing or two about that. But when he meets Sofia, he quickly realizes that she doesn't see him as a Formula 1 driver, but simply as himself without all the prejudices. But having deep scars from the past like Sofia and a playboy reputation like Lando doesn't make it easy for either of them. Can the two of them fight for what they have and are they strong enough for this fight? _ DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the characters except Sofia Rodriguez and her associated story. This story is pure fiction and no matter what is written here, it is not a judgment towards any of the characters. Most of the characters in this story exist in real life, and not everyone will like everyone, but I don't want to spread hate or anything else with this story. It will deal with sensitive topics such as depression, self-harming behavior, abusive behavior, toxic relationships. Before you read this story, please be aware of this and decide if you can really handle it.

Mia Ricciardo, the younger sister of f1 all-star Daniel Ricciardo, secured a surprise job managing the f1 YouTube channel, when her own videos began to get a fast following. She didn't tell her brother until last minute, and for good reason. Daniel worries for Mia's trusting heart in the hands of one of the boys, knowing that they could crush it with their bare fingers. But his warnings cannot keep her from doing her job, and ultimately learning more and more about each racer in each team. Charles Leclerc has the looks, he has the humour, he has the pick-up lines, but does he have exactly what it takes to win Mia over and keep her close for the rest of the season? Or will past relationships and old Vendettas come back to ruin his forever relationship. - 'Mia, I want you to come, of course I do, but i do not trust you around any of these boys and you're gonna be working with all of them.' Daniel sighed, pulling me into a hug and ruffling up my hair. 'Why don't we start with, oh my, I'm so proud of you!' I rolled my eyes. 'Oh come on, you know how proud I am of you, I knew you'd get it the second I heard about the opening. But now I'm worried about you.' He said, opening the passenger side door for me and walking around to his own. 'I'm 24 years old, Daniel, I'm not a child anymore.' I said, softly. 'You're still my baby sister, and f1 drivers are arseholes.' He muttered. 'I know, I'm related to one.' He nudged me, starting the engine and putting on his seatbelt, looking over at me silently, giving me the parent look he did all too often nowadays. 'You're there to do your job. Please, just do your job. I'd hate to go all mean on someone.' 'You can't be mean.' I chuckled. 'If anyone was to hurt you, you bet I would.' He responded. - I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE F1 DRIVERS OR NAMED PEOPLE IN THIS BOOK. ⚠️-may be some sexual scenes, sensitive subjects and bad language.
