"Slow down, darling. Keep it lowkey, else you might end up all crashed up against a wall... again."

Ava Yoon, an aspiring formula driver, has just signed a contract with Red Bull Racing, making this her debut in F1. Under such a well-known team, while also being the daughter of a three times world champion, the pressure to live up to everyone's expectations is sure to be a lot. This doesn't stop AY6 from delivering an outstanding performance at the opening Grand Prix of the season.

However, what's certain to put great pressure on the twenty-year-old is the presence of Ethan Lee, her lifelong nemesis. For the entirety of her career, Ava has been living in Ethan's shadow, him always being a step ahead. It's a mutual loathing that both drivers don't bother with ending, instead focusing on beating each other and following the cycle they're so used to. 

Things are to change when a series of unexpected events leads the two of them down the same path. Will they be able to look past the unfounded hatred and face the situations together? Or will their stubbornness - that both drivers seem to be sharing a great amount - get in their way?

➶。˚ part four of the RACING HEARTS series Carlos Sainz's career had seemingly hit its peak-or so everyone, including Carlos himself, believed. After a heartbreaking breakup with his long-term girlfriend, he found himself struggling to navigate life. Instead of entering his villain era on track, he started partying and sleeping with different women to fill the void. His lack of focus started to be evident on the track as well. While his teammate, Charles Leclerc, became the World Champion, Carlos was fighting to stay in the top ten. Alexandra Serrano had worked tirelessly her entire life. As the sister of a former karting driver and famous model, Marco, she always wanted to be known for more than just being "someone's sister." With a passion for motorsport and writing, she became a journalist at a renowned newspaper. In her role, she couldn't ignore the lifestyle changes and poor performance of a particular Ferrari driver. Naturally, Carlos became the subject of several of her articles. When these two very different people cross paths, they instantly know they will never be friends. Instead, they become rivals, each determined to bring the other down. Thus begins the great war between them. Despite their enmity, they share one common trait: ambition. A drive that surpasses their rivalry and the hatred they feel for each other. Or perhaps, beneath all that animosity, there is something even stronger. Something greater and unexpected. © all rights reserved, lxvenderhze 2024

❝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.
