No Cameras Tonight
A Carlos Sainz Fanfiction Catalina Vega has spent her whole life by Carlos Sainz's side, from chasing karts around dusty Spanish tracks to cheering from the grandstands as he rose through the ranks of Formula 1. To the world, he's the golden boy of racing. To her, he's simply just Carlos, the boy who stole her heart long before fame and sponsors entered the picture.

Because the cameras will stop rolling. The world will move on. But her feelings? They never learned how to fake it.Complete

But love doesn't follow a racing line, and the closer they work together, the harder to it becomes to keep their boundaries intact.

New Romantics | Oscar Piastri
We need love, but all we want is danger We team up, then switch sides like a record changer The rumors are terrible and cruel But honey, most of them are true - New Romantics by Taylor Swift ------------------- Maeve Alonso grew up in the shadows of podiums and legends. As the daughter of Fernando Alonso, she never had a normal childhood-only the blinding lights of Formula 1 and the wild, reckless boys who became her best friends: Carlos, Charles, Max, Lando, Pierre, George, Daniel, and Alex. Older. Louder. Protective. She was their wild little sister with a sharp tongue and a soft heart. At twenty-one, she knows exactly how this world works. And how to survive in it without ever falling. Until he walks in. Oscar Piastri is nothing like the others. Quiet. Focused. Dangerously unreadable. Where the rest of the paddock burns bright, he smolders-low, slow, and steady. And when his eyes find hers across the chaos, it's not fireworks. It's something deeper. Darker. Hungrier. They don't speak much. But when they do, it crackles. When they touch, the world stops. And when they kiss... it feels like a sin. In a world that worships noise, their silence becomes unbearable. But some desires were never meant to be quiet.Complete
