Carlos Sainz thought he had faced every challenge F1 could throw at him-until Elena "Leni" Martín walked back into his life, wearing the same team colors.

Years ago, they were karting rivals, constantly pushing each other to the limit. She was fast, fearless, and the only driver who ever rattled him. Then, just when she was poised to rise through the ranks, she vanished without a trace. No goodbyes. No explanations. Just gone.

Now, she's back-as his new teammate. The shock of her return sends the paddock into a frenzy, fueling speculation, but Carlos doesn't have time for nostalgia. The moment their helmets go on, it's war all over again.

But something is different this time. There's a shadow behind her sharp eyes, a secret she won't talk about. Off-track, their clashes get closer, their words sharper, and the line between rivalry and something more starts to blur.

As the season unfolds, Carlos is left wondering.

Why did she leave?
What brought her back?
And most importantly-can he still beat her?
Because if there's one thing he knows for sure, it's this: Leni Martín didn't come back to play second driver to anyone.

19 parts Ongoing Mature
Deedee has just landed the chance of a lifetime in the Formula one, Scuderia Ferrari Team. But it comes with complications. Carlos Sainz, her new teammate, being just the beginning. Carlos - who somehow manages to be both annoyingly skilled and ridiculously charming, is a stark contrast to her ex, Max Verstappen - the reigning champion. The man who's perfected the art of pushing her buttons, both on and off the track. If there's a way to make her life more complicated - Max will find it. What starts as playful flirting grows into something deeper, forcing Deedee to navigate the unresolved feelings she has for Max, and their toxic past - as well as her ambition to race in F1. While the world questions if Deedee even belongs in a Ferrari, she's determined to prove herself. But in a world where speed, fame, and old wounds collide, she'll need to figure out what really matters, and how far she's willing to go to hold onto who she is. Warning: ⚠️ This story is heavy on tension. There will be smut, cursing and adult themes such as, trauma, gaslighting, manipulation, violence, dominance, and occasional kink. You should not read, if you're sensitive in regards to any of these themes, so please consider yourself warned. Disclaimer: This is pure fanfiction and has nothing to do with the real people mentioned in it. I use the real circuits, and try my best to make the racing believable, but it's a free take. I'm just a fan, making shit up and having a blast!
