"I want the future I worked for.
I won't apologize for being the main character
of my own damn life."
- Clara

🏁 OUTSIDER
She didn't expect this trip to change her life.
She isn't anyone special. Not yet, anyway.

Clara bought a ticket to the Italian Grand Prix. A solo trip. A once-in-a-lifetime seat in the grandstands. Just her, the engines, and a dream she's been chasing since she was sixteen.

She's not famous. She's not rich. She's not even done with her engineering degree.

But when a PR disaster erupts in the paddock, she's pulled into the chaos - and into a fake relationship with Sebastian Steele, Formula 1's most infuriatingly magnetic driver.

The cameras love them. The media eats it up.
And somewhere between the lies and the headlines... something real starts to slip through the cracks.

But Clara didn't come to be part of someone else's image.

She came to build her future in Formula 1.

And the closer she gets to Sebastian, the more she risks everything she's fought for.All Rights Reserved

Under the Spotlight | Lewis Hamilton by lhamiltonsgirl44

Emma Calloway never expected to race alongside the man who made her fall in love with the sport. At just twenty-four, she's the only woman in Formula 2, already used to whispers, doubt, and second-guessing. But when Ferrari calls her up to replace Carlos Sainz at the last minute during the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, everything changes. Her debut shocks the paddock - and so does the announcement that she'll be joining Ferrari full-time the following season, as teammate to none other than Lewis Hamilton. He's a legend. A seven-time World Champion. And he has no idea she grew up idolizing him. Oh, did I mention he's forty years old? At first, Lewis sees only a young, determined rookie trying to find her footing. But race after race, Emma proves she's more than headlines or hype - she's calm under pressure, sharper than anyone expects, and quietly extraordinary. The problem is, he notices. And the more he sees, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull. Emma feels it too, but she's careful. She's already battling every stereotype in the sport. The last thing she needs is to be seen as the girl who has a crush on Lewis Hamilton. Even if, somewhere deep down, she does. As the season unfolds, so does the tension between them - intense, unspoken, impossible to ignore. They dance around it in press conferences, late-night briefings, and quiet garage corners. He's supposed to be her mentor, her teammate, her hero. He can't be anything else. But the line between admiration and something deeper begins to blur. And in a world where everything is about control, what happens when the one thing you can't control is your heart?

The Power Of Love by leclerxf1

At forty years old, Lewis Hamilton had already cemented his legacy as a Formula One legend. Seven world titles, countless records, and now against all odds a bold new chapter as Ferrari's leading driver. The iconic red suit fit him like destiny. But as much as the headlines buzzed about his move to Maranello, there was another name that had started making waves in the paddock for very different reasons: Isabella Verstappen. Twenty-four, striking, and effortlessly poised, Isabella wasn't just the sister of Lewis's fiercest rival three-time world champion Max Verstappen she was also Lewis's girlfriend of two years. A top-tier fashion model with charm to spare, Isabella had quickly become a fan favorite and a beloved presence within the Ferrari garage. Mechanics adored her, the media couldn't get enough, and even the often-stoic team principal spoke of her with rare affection. But beneath the glamour and grins, not everyone was at ease. Max Verstappen, competitive to the core and fiercely protective of his younger sister, had always seen Hamilton as the ultimate on-track adversary. Their legendary clashes, tense podium moments, and fierce battles had defined an era. So when Max discovered that the man he once viewed as a bitter rival was dating his baby sister, his reaction was... complicated. Though he tolerated Lewis for Isabella's sake, cordial in public, civil behind the scenes the tension simmered, especially as championship points, headlines, and hearts collided. This isn't just a story about racing. It's about loyalty, love, rivalry, and the blurred lines between passion and competition. Because in the world of Formula One, every second counts and so does every decision made off the track.

NO PRESS AREA || OP81 by Laura8321

It wasn't supposed to happen. Not with him. Not with the quiet, careful driver who rarely stayed past midnight - let alone until the world blurred into noise and neon and champagne foam. But when the sun broke over Abu Dhabi, she woke up to find Oscar Piastri's hand resting over her ribs, the hotel room still smelling like smoke and spilled victory. The McLaren press officer and the McLaren driver. A headline waiting to destroy them both. They agreed not to speak of it again. But F1 doesn't forget, and neither did they. Between press conferences and whispered PR briefings, glances turned into questions, and questions turned into jealousy - the kind that burns quietly, the kind that can't be contained in paddocks or press statements. Because sometimes the story you're paid to hide becomes the one you can't stop living.

Rhea stood in the center of the room, her face pale, eyes glistening with unshed tears. The sight was a sucker punch to my gut. "You're okay," she whispered, her voice a broken tremor. All my rage, my ice, my control-it shattered. I crossed the room in three strides, my hands framing her face. She flinched, but didn't pull away. "I'm fine," I growled, the words rough and foreign. And then I kissed her. It wasn't for the cameras. It wasn't part of the deal. It was a confession. A surrender. And the biggest mistake of my life. ★ Rhea Roy Chaudhary's life is a carefully curated performance. As the heiress to a crumbling empire, her image is her only currency. So when a single, scorching glance from Formula 1's infamous "Ice King," Lorenzo Vitale, catapults her into a global scandal, she's forced to make a deal with the devil himself. Lorenzo's offer is as cold as his reputation: six months of fake dating to clean up her family's name and bolster his own pristine brand. A contract drawn in ink and mutual benefit. No real feelings. No messy complications. But Lorenzo is a man who thrives on control, and Rhea is the one variable he can't calculate. Behind the staged kisses and paparazzi-perfect smiles, a dangerous game begins. Every touch feels like a lie that's too real, every whispered endearment in her native tongue a crack in his icy facade. He called her his wildest obsession as a strategy. But when the line between performance and passion shatters, they'll both discover that some risks lead to ruin-and others to a love so consuming it could destroy them both.
