Max Verstappen loves iRacing, even though he rarely finds a worthy opponent online. When he then gets squarely beaten by a girl called Lex, he can't let her go. So he makes a bet and loses. Now he is her teacher and has to teach her how to race a real car. 

Lex Bos works in a small seaside coffee shop and has little else to do in her free time than play iRacing to pass her time. When she beats Max, her whole life is turned upside down. Soon she finds herself entangled in the world of Formula 1 and Max Verstappen, but while he is one of the fastest drivers ever, her past is faster and catching up with them quickly. 

This is a "He falls first, she falls harder/ Teacher and Student" trope. All parts first posted on TikTok, one day later on here.

Little Lion Man | Max Verstappen by tonysnarky
44 parts Ongoing Mature
❝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.

❝They hate each other.❞ ❝No, they don't. Not really.❞ Aurora Prince is no stranger to the relentless world of Formula 1, but 2025 marks her first season behind the wheel for Porsche-a chance she's fought tooth and nail to earn. On the surface, Aurora is the perfect image of determination, but behind closed doors, she's still mourning Ezra McAllister, her boyfriend who's been left braindead after a horrific F2 crash. The world believes he's gone, but Aurora carries the weight of his memory, a fire in her heart that fuels every lap she takes. Enter Charles Leclerc: Ferrari's golden boy, haunted by his own failures and fueled by the fear of falling short yet again. Their rivalry is instant, a clash of wills that lights up the track and sets the media ablaze. Aurora's sharp edges meet Charles's unyielding pride, and neither is willing to back down. But beneath the tension, there's an unspoken understanding-two souls fighting battles no one else can see. As Aurora's grief threatens to consume her and Charles's pressure mounts to unbearable heights, they find an unlikely anchor in one another. Aurora's unwavering determination shows Charles the courage to face his own demons, while Charles reminds her that even in the deepest darkness, there's still a flicker of light. They don't see it at first-the way their broken pieces fit together-but love has a way of sneaking in, even when it feels impossible. They'll come to know each other fully, completely, and fiercely: Heart and soul, skin and bones.
