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
Stroke of Love || Charles Leclerc || CL16
Struck with the reality of how fast and fleeting life was, Charles had come to value cherish and love three things in his short time on Earth. 1. FAMILY ---- loosing his Godfather Jules Bianchi and his father whilst still very young taught him to value and cherish every moment be it joyful or disappointing. You never know when it would be the last time. 2. VALUE OF FRIENDSHIPS -------- Life as an Formula 1 driver is not an easy one, no one in the world could and would understand the life better than the 20 drivers on the grid. Cherish every laughter, fail, every podium, celebrate every crash that doesn't end up in death. Rivalries are fleeting but friendships can and would they last a lifetime. This does not mean he won't fight for a WDC should he be able to. This maturity came later on. He is still a work in progress 3. LOVE---- He loves love, wants love and has found love in his current relationship. OR HAS HE?

Vexed - The Legacy
Their Fathers built entire legacies in Formula One - She's the daughter of the cunning, yet whole-hearted, Lewis Hamilton, while he's the son of his arguably biggest, most aggressive rival, Max Verstappen. Faith Hamilton, and yes, she's aware of how ridiculous it is that her religious Father chose that name for her, hence the nickname 'Remi' that she goes by, works her way up to Formula One costing her blood, sweat and tears. Verstappen's boy, Emilian, does the same, arriving in F1 a year ahead of her, much to her displeasure. When the new F1 season rolls around though, and the two find out that they'll be racing in the same team, mayhem breaks out, seeing as the two of them have always been vexed with one another. Their dislike for each other ignites an epic team-mate battle, showing off both their skills to their families, their fans and the whole racing community, which watches in awe. They quickly clarify it to the whole world why they were the ones to step into their Father's footsteps, instead of their siblings. The only question is... Will that irritation for one another last, or will they see more in each other than they did before? *Read at your own discretion; This story may/will include profanity, sexual themes, mentions of ED and descriptions of pain/loss/crashes.*
