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 call him the Dutch Lion.❞ ❝Yeah? To be honest, I think he's more like Scar from The Lion King, but whatever.❞ In the high-pressure world of Formula 1, Red Bull Racing is crumbling. Half the team has quit, morale is at an all-time low, and Max Verstappen-the reigning champion-is battling not just a losing season but a mountain of frustration, anger, and self-hatred. Known for his icy demeanor and explosive temper, Max feels more isolated than ever, unwilling to accept the changes around him. The last thing he wants is a new Personal Assistant. Enter Emilia "Emmy" Jones, a vibrant redhead who seems to radiate sunshine wherever she goes. She's everything Max despises in this moment of chaos-optimistic, talkative, and insufferably cheerful. To Max, she's a storm he didn't see coming, and no amount of biting sarcasm or coldness can drive her away. Emmy is determined to do her job, even if it means braving the tempest that is Max Verstappen. What Max doesn't realize is that Emmy isn't just some cheerful distraction. Beneath her bright smiles and playful energy, she's hiding her own storm. She's not the unshakable beam of positivity he assumes-she's a force of nature battling scars of her own. And while Max can't stand her constant happiness at first, it doesn't take long for him to see that Emmy isn't just sunshine. She's a hurricane-wild, fierce, and unpredictable. And she might just be what Red Bull, and Max, need to survive. Because sometimes, it's the storms that reshape everything.

Sierra is one of the brightest new talents in Formula 2 - and the only woman on the grid. She's fast, fiercely competitive, and dangerously close to cracking under pressure. Between the media circus, online hate, rivalry and the burden of proving she belongs, Sierra's fight isn't just for podiums - it's for her future in motorsport. 𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩? Max Verstappen isn't known for getting involved in anyone else's business. But after one late-night scroll through Sierra's social media, something shifts. She reminds him of the fire he races with - and the loneliness that can come with it. "𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘴... 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘺 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭? 𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘱, 𝘔𝘢𝘹." When a quiet message becomes something more, the barriers between two lives on completely different rungs of the motorsport ladder begin to blur. But in a world where perception is everything, connection comes at a cost. -------- ☆ RANKINGS #1 MOTORSPORT (17/09/25) #3 FORMULAONE (05/09/25) #10 SPORTS (12/08/25) #20 MAXVERSTAPPEN (26/07/25) #6 MV1 (25/07/25) #2 MV33 (04/08/25) #17 F1 (11/09/25) #24 F1FANFICTION 28/07/25 #21 F1FANFIC (28/08/25) #5 REDBULLRACING (27/07/25) #4 VERSTAPPEN (29/07/25) #16 F2 (08/09/25)
