Forgotten on the Grid

Lydia Vettel knows how to win.
She just doesn't know how to be seen.

As the niece of four-time Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel, the pressure to perform is relentless. But Lydia doesn't coast on her name-she races like it means everything. In the fierce, cutthroat world of Formula 3, she's one of the best on the track. Calm under pressure, ruthless in overtakes, and relentless in pursuit of the podium.

But the media barely mentions her.
The fans forget her.
And in a sport still slow to welcome girls, her silence is often mistaken for weakness.

Off the track, Lydia's world is quieter-and harder. Her mother, once her only real supporter, now lives in a care home, fading into the fog of Alzheimer's. Her father? Gone before she took her first breath. With no one in her corner, Lydia has built walls around her heart just as carefully as she crafts every lap.

All she wants is a shot at Formula One-a chance to prove that she's not just a legacy, not just "Vettel's niece," but a driver in her own right.

Then he shows up.

Her newest rival. Charismatic. Fast. And aggravating.
He's everything she's supposed to beat-but the one person who starts to see her beyond the helmet. The more she tries to push him away, the more he crashes through the cracks in her armor.

Now Lydia faces her toughest challenge yet-not just chasing a dream, but daring to trust someone with her heart.

Because winning is everything.
But what if love is the only thing that makes it all worth it?
