They were never meant to last. At least, that's what everyone said.

Lando Norris, Formula 1's golden boy, is used to pressure. The high stakes, the flashing cameras, the constant scrutiny - it all comes with the life he's built. But when Zoë Kingston, the fashion icon who turns heads wherever she goes, steps into his world, she's the one thing that feels untouched by it all.

Until suddenly, she isn't.

As the spotlight grows harsher and the lines between love and expectation blur, Lando is forced to ask himself: How do you hold on to something that was never meant to last?

AutumnDR3 II Daniel Ricciardo by asficdiary

Autumn Night never thought of herself as anything special. By day, she worked in her mom's bakery in Milton Keynes. By night, she wrote fanfiction about her favourite Formula One driver, happy to stay behind the screen, living in stories that weren't quite hers. She never expected anyone of power to actually find her writing. And She definitely never expected him to read it. Daniel Ricciardo had never read fanfiction about himself, until his Teammate, Lando Norris, shoves a phone in his face and insisted he reads the story he found on Tiktok. What starts as a joke quickly turns into something else. Her words are sharp. Honest. Surprisingly comforting. He's hooked. Then curious. Then completely in over his head. Telling Lando was his first mistake. Letting him meddle might just be his second. Because suddenly, he's meeting the girl who writes fanfictions about him. And she's everything he didn't know he needed. What could possibly go wrong when your life suddenly starts looking less like reality and more like the plot of a fanfiction?

The One I Swore I Hated by ln4landoo

"I came back to London to reset - modelling, travel, the usual chaos. I didn't expect my brother's best friend, Formula 1 driver Lando Norris, to be everywhere I turned." "She still rolls her eyes the same way she did when we were teenagers. We don't get along. We never have. But when your worlds keep colliding, you start to wonder if it's really hate... or something else."

Written in Books | Lando Norris by rozalinco

She wrote a fantasy. He has no idea he's living in it. Years ago, Stormi Sinclair wrote a spicy little F1 romance about a moody, misunderstood driver and the ordinary girl who ruins him. The book blew up. Stormi didn't - at least not until the internet figured out who she was. Now she's an influencer with a past she doesn't talk about, and a secret she definitely won't be willing to admit to him. Because Lando Norris has enough on his plate - public meltdowns, press breathing down his neck, and a reputation that swings between national treasure and total mess. The last thing he needs is another public disaster and hateful comments. They hate each other at first, but then... He doesn't know she's that author. And she's not planning to tell him. Yet. English is not my first language! I'm just experimenting with this one so feel free to leave some comments and advices! xx

You Are In Love | Lando Norris by aufwolkenschreiben

- On Hold - 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 - 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧-𝐎𝐟𝐟 Morning, his place Burnt toast, Sunday You keep his shirt He keeps his word And for once, you let go Of your fears and your ghosts One step, not much But it said enough - You Are In Love by Taylor Swift *** Zoe Reynolds has sworn off falling for drivers.

But nothing's ever simple when feelings are involved - especially when it's your best friend's best friend. He's chaos. She's guarded. And neither of them meant to fall.

slow down | l.n by citygirlgi

Getting into a new relationship is the last thing on Lexi's mind after the trauma her ex causes. That is, of course, until she somehow gets entangled with her best friend's number one nemesis, Lando Norris. Try as she might to keep away from him, the universe seems to have other plans for her whether she likes it or not. At the end of the day, it's a matter of if he can think beyond his own feelings and slow down enough for her to trust him to fall and if she is willing to slow down to actually let herself fall instead of running away from uncertainty.

love, rewritten by oscando814

--- Lando Norris wakes up from a year-long coma with no memory of the love story that changed his life. He remembers Oscar Piastri as a rival. A teammate. Nothing more. Not the secret glances. Not the whispered I love yous. Not the marriage. Not the night he promised forever. Now, Oscar stands by his side-husband, stranger, and the man Lando unknowingly gave his whole heart to. But how do you fight for someone who doesn't remember loving you? How do you make someone fall in love with you again, when every memory of "us" is gone? In a story filled with heartbreak, healing, and second chances, The Second First Time takes you through the slow burn of re-falling in love, the weight of forgotten vows, and the aching beauty of choosing each other-even when the past is lost. Because sometimes, the heart remembers what the mind forgets. ---
