Trackside Serendipity

''Serendipity: finding interesting or valuable things by chance.''

Y/N and Carlos Sainz's paths briefly cross during the Monaco GP. Nothing happens, but it leaves an indelible impression on both. Months later, fate brings them together once again and they begin a clandestine journey of friendship and discovery.

NOTES:
- All the race results from today, July 7th, 2023, forwards are made up. Please don't be mad if they don't actually happen.

- All the race dates for 2025 forwards are made up, but kinda based on when the race happened on previous years

- Even though the entire story is written in English, please imagine that all dialogues between Carlos and Y/N are held in Spanish, unless there is a non spanish speaker with them. Same goes for her family: all dialogues in French.

- There will be a song at the beginning of each chapter (spoiler: yes, one of the songs is ''Smooth Operator'' - IYKYK). There are only three songs that aren't in English, but you just have to look up the translation.

- I will post one chapter every Monday, except on August 28th and if something important comes up (your girl is in grad school).

- This is not a place for the hardcore FIA fans (JK hahahha) or old F1 fans that don't respect the newbies and think they know every single thing about F1 ... this is a fanfiction, so no need to get mad if I got some technical term wrong or something like that. I'm new to the sport, so please cut me some slack : )

- There will be some parts which are recycled from my previous stories, but I promise I did my best with the rest S2

- All the thyroid cancer is based on MY OWN experience with it (I'll be two years cancer-free this November 😀)
