lover of mine | Franco Colapinto

Madelaine Leclerc stepped into the paddock for the first time since the Italian Grand Prix in 2019, her older brother, Charles, most important career win due to this day. The world of motorsport had once been her home, but after nearly four years away, caused because of a breakup, school finals and the start of university, the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend of 2023 marked her hesitant return. At just 19, the Monegasque girl was no stranger to the adrenaline-fueled chaos of racing, yet something felt different this time.

Franco Colapinto, a rising Argentine star, was making his Formula 3 debut, his mind set on proving himself on the world stage. The weekend was his chance to leave a mark, to show that he belonged among the best. But before the first race even began, an unexpected collision-off the track-threw him off balance.

Madelaine hadn't meant to walk straight into him. One moment, she was navigating the paddock, lost in her own thoughts, and the next, she found herself face-to-face with the determined rookie. A brief apology turned into an unexpected conversation, and in that moment, their paths intertwined in ways neither of them had anticipated.

As the engines roared and the desert sun blazed over the Bahrain International Circuit, their meeting became the beginning of something neither of them saw coming. Between the pressure of racing, the thrill of competition, and the unspoken weight of past and future expectations, Madelaine and Franco found themselves drawn to each other.

But in a world where every second counts and dreams are built-or shattered-at 300 km/h, was there room for something more than just racing?
