Liam Brooks is a 24-year-old rising talent-an ambitious young engineer whose lifelong dream finally comes true: he joins Scuderia Ferrari's Formula 1 team.
A boy who doesn't know how to love.
He's never had a real emotional connection, never had someone he could truly call a friend. Until he meets Charles Leclerc.
Charles Leclerc, Ferrari's star driver, is chasing the world championship with relentless determination. On the surface, everything seems perfect-his girlfriend Charlotte stands by his side. But her scandalous behavior and hollow gestures slowly plant seeds of doubt in his heart.
What Charles wants more than anything is someone who truly understands him-someone he can share his deepest secrets with.
He used to have his siblings. But now, they rarely speak.
Can true friendship become something more?
And how would the world react?
Liam craves connection.
Charles fears the consequences.
Formula 1 has never seen an openly LGBTQ+ driver-and Charles knows exactly what's at stake.
Threatening messages, suppressed desires, and unspoken words...
How much will it all affect their work, their performance-and their future?
Soon, we'll have all the answers we've ever wanted.
