She told herself it was nothing. But nothing doesn't look at her like that. Nothing doesn't get under her skin like him.

Elena Carter just made history: the first female driver in Formula 1. But behind the applause, the grid's a battlefield.

Her brother wants her seat.
The press wants her weakness.
And Henry Wilson? He just wants her undone.

He's the worst kind of distraction: Smirking in the paddock. Whispering in her ear. Protecting her when no one else does, then pretending it meant nothing.

She should be focused. But every time he leans a little too close, She forgets that she came here to prove.

And when rivals get too close, someone always gets burned. It's just the question: When?All Rights Reserved

Hitting The Apex by xoesezwrites

Full Throttle Series #1: Hitting The Apex In Formula One, everything runs on precision-until emotion cuts through the noise. Veronica Kim, the sharp-tongued Korean-American founder of Vitoska Tech, built her name in a man's world by being smarter, faster, and utterly untouchable. Supplying the grid's most powerful machines has made her a legend off the track, and a threat to anyone who underestimates her. Then there's William Jacques, Scuderia Falconi's fearless yet volatile driver. Ruthless in the cockpit and rebellious everywhere else, William races with the kind of hunger that makes headlines-and enemies. When Vitoska signs a high-profile partnership with Falconi, their paths cross in ways neither expected nor wanted. What starts as a clash of egos soon turns into a collision course neither can steer away from. Behind closed doors, in encrypted comms and whispered paddock rumors, tension sparks into something dangerously intimate. But in a sport where loyalty is currency and betrayal is broadcasted live, falling for your rival might just cost you the championship... or your heart. Because in the world of Formula One-every secret burns hotter than the engines.

Race Track or Basketball Court (AJ + C Forever) by CatBree2000

Avery James is not the normal 22 year old F1 driver. She has made history by being the first female driver in Formula One. Not only is she the first woman, but she's the first woman to become an F1 champion. It also made her the youngest F1 champion ever. Everyone sees her as this celebrity known as AJ who is happy, but not everything is as good as it seems. Behind the scenes, Avery is struggling with her feelings and the press. She has even started to question her decisions and it got worse when she runs into someone from the past who doesn't know her as AJ the F1 champion, but as Avery who grew up in Des Moines, IA. Charles Leclerc is not only AJ's teammate, but also her best friend. But sometimes their relationship seems like more than friendship, and it's because they both like each other more than friends. Just neither one wants to risk their friendship, and it just opens up the door for someone else. But Charles will never give up on Avery. Not even when her past comes back. Caitlin Clark is the national player of the year. She is ready to focus on the next season, and win the championship. But it's hard when you have the media and fans following you. Sometimes she misses the past when no one knew her. That's when she remembers a girl who used to be her best friend until the girl moved away. She will never forget the best friend, because she was her first crush. So what will happen when they cross paths again? I guess you are just going to have to read to find out. Because Caitlin is not the only person after AJ's heart.

Chasing Lights by Jane4Rain

A girl chasing her dream. A boy looking for the light. When Florence Nyx started her internship at a Formula 1 paddock, she expected a lot. Fast cars. Exclusive impressions most people could only dream of. An entire array of skills she'd acquire. What she didn't expect was the avalanche of hurdles thrown in her way -- but none of them knew who Florence Nyx was behind her facade, behind the image of a world champion's daughter. She was fire. She was fast. And most of all... she was underestimated. Phoenix McCoy didn't know what hit him when he got thrown out of his team. His whole career was on the line, just because of that one stupid mistake. One mistake. How far will he go to rectify it? To pursue his dreams? One thing was clear: He saw the light, and he wanted it. All he could hope was he didn't get burned.
