Gabrielle Young is not a stranger to love. In fact, she's been showered with it ever since she was a little girl. She's witnessed the love people show one another both in real life and those caught on film.
Despite this, love is still something she can't push herself to have (or rather take).
What happens when she meets someone who is as stubborn as her when it comes to getting what he wants? What happens when she meets someone who walks into her life and teaches her that she is someone who deserves more than the love she's set out for herself? What happens when no matter how many times she denies herself this, he'll always be there waiting for her to reach for it?

COOL DOWN LAP
Max Verstappen doesn't do distractions. Especially not ones that come in the form of Charles Leclerc - all curls, calm stares, and the kind of smile that makes Max forget his brake markers. Cool Down Lap is a slow-burn love story wrapped in fireproofs and ego, where rivals fight for more than just pole position. It's the kind of story where every glance means more than a radio message, and every near-collision feels like a confession no one's ready to make. Beneath the helmets, the interviews, and the championship points, there's tension that can't be timed and feelings that don't fit into a post-race debrief. With grid chats exploding, Instagram stories hinting at more, and a secret past that Charles refuses to let define him, Max finds himself losing control - and not just on the track. Because sometimes, the most dangerous thing in Formula 1 isn't the speed. It's falling for the one person you're supposed to beat. A LESTAPPEN STORY!

Lottie Leclerc + Oscar Piastri "Wait...you like me?" "And here I was thinking I was being painfully obvious" She was sunsets, stars and champagne, she left you feeling warm and bubbly and better than you'd felt before. He was saltwater, woodfire smoke and a thunderstorm, calm and grounding, almost nostalgic. Through the 2024 season, Lottie and Oscar unintentionally start a game of cat and mouse, and the thrill is exciting, but what happens when they realise they want more? And what's stopping them? Not a lot, just everything. #1 OP81 - 21/04/26![DNF: Did Not Fall [For him]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/396039219-256-k807519.jpg)
DNF: Did Not Fall [For him]
Amelia McRae didn't come to Formula 1 to make friends, flirt with rivals, or smile for the cameras. She came to race. To win. And to prove that silence can be louder than any engine on the grid. She wears silver. She speaks rarely. And she doesn't fall-especially not for a red suit and a smirk. Charles Leclerc has seen it all-speed, fame, heartbreak, pressure. But he's never seen anything like the girl in car #8. The one who rejected him before he even said her name. The one who drives like she doesn't care about anything... and somehow makes him care way too much. She's untouchable. But he's relentless. And in a sport where one second changes everything, so can one girl. Because falling might not be on her race plan... But love never asks for permission.Complete

In the world's most high-stakes sport, where every second counts, they'll have to decide whether risking it all for each other is worth the crash. Max Verstappen x OC (Catherine Rowan)Complete
𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐂.𝐋
"I never asked for this." Her voice was steady, but her hands curled into fists in her lap. "Neither did I." His reply was calm, almost bored-but his eyes didn't leave hers. They have the status. The ring. The home. The last name. Everything but Love. They were strangers with rings on their fingers. Bound by names, legacy, and expectations they never agreed to. Emilia Duval didn't want a marriage, and certainly not to the man with too much charm and too little sincerity. Charles Leclerc didn't need a wife who looked at him like he was a contract waiting to be broken. But in a world where image is everything, love is the one thing they never expected to find.Complete
the great war | carlos sainz
➶｡˚ 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 2024-2025
