Amanda Abreu García is a rising star in the world of journalism. Half Spanish, half Brazilian, she's grown up immersed in the vibrant cultures of both countries, savoring Brazil's flavors while mastering the art of storytelling. 
At just 20, her big break arrives when Zak Brown hires her to manage McLaren F1's social media and write for their website - a dream job in the heart of the Formula 1 paddock.

But there's a complication: Gabriel Bortoleto, her former best friend turned rival, has just joined the grid, racing for Sauber alongside Nico Hülkenberg. A fallout from years ago left their friendship in ruins, and the tension between them is palpable, an invisible spark that refuses to die out.

As they navigate the high-octane world of F1, Amanda and Gabriel must confront the past they thought they'd left behind. From heated arguments to stolen moments of connection, they discover that their bond - and the feelings beneath it - might be stronger than ever. Amid family dinners, summer nights, and career-defining milestones the line between friendship and something more begins to blur.

With fame, ambition and old wounds racing alongside them, Amanda and Gabriel must decide: can they forgive, trust and finally take a chance on love? In a world where every second counts, the fastest track might just be the one that leads to each other's hearts.All Rights Reserved

Little Lion Man | Max Verstappen by tonysnarky

❝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.

Vexed - The Legacy by f1povedits

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.*
