Warning ⚠️: Swearing, Smut, Misinformation (sometimes)
Atlassian Williams Racing isn't just a team-it's a lifeline for three underdogs chasing redemption. The sky-blue livery symbolizes the hope that binds Kyle Aguinaldo, Bianca Bustamante, and Logan Sargeant, each fighting to prove they belong in a sport that's often pushed them aside.
Kyle, the 20-year-old rookie no one expected, came within 0.001 seconds of beating Max Verstappen for the 2025 title-nearly doing the impossible in a Williams. But behind the near-glory was heartbreak, self-doubt, and a love for Max that still lingers. Now in 2026, Kyle races not just for victory, but for self-worth.
Bianca, his cousin, was dropped by McLaren and nearly walked away from F1. Criticized as just another influencer, she clawed her way back through sponsorship deals and grit. Williams saw her fire when others didn't-and now she races to inspire every Filipina girl with a dream.
Logan, once mocked as "the worst driver on the grid," is on his final chance. After years of crashes and doubt, he began to rise in 2025 with Kyle by his side. But it's now or never-this season will decide if he stays or goes.
Together, they face pressure, pain, and the weight of expectations. But they're more than teammates. They're survivors, racing not just to win-but to matter.

P1 in Your Heart | Lestappen Post F1 Romance | Max Verstappen X Charles Leclerc
⚠️ Mature Completed Story 18+ ✓ | This fic is set in 2030 Max Verstappen never expected to spend retirement surrounded by glitter glue, pancake disasters, and a five-year-old who thinks "overtaking" applies to bedtime. But here he is, an eight-time world champion turned grumpy dad haunting the karting tracks of his youth, wearing a hoodie of nostalgia and a frown that says please don't ask for an autograph. He's not here for closure. He's here because his daughter likes speed and because standing on the trackside hurts a little less than staying home alone with his regrets. Charles Leclerc didn't dream of coaching kindergarteners with oversized helmets and sugar highs. But a crash stole his career, and this karting track the fumes, the flags, the occasional crying parent is all he's got left. He smiles like it doesn't ache and teaches like he doesn't miss the rush. It's not the future he imagined, but it's something. They weren't best friends. Rivals? Sure. Occasional podium eye contact? Absolutely. But nothing ever happened, at least, not when it mattered. Now they're thirty-three, washed in nostalgia and worn down by everything unsaid. But when Max's hoodie ends up on Charles, when Lilly calls him her "other dad," when burnt toast becomes breakfast and stolen glances linger too long, maybe it's not about racing anymore. Maybe it's about healing. About family. About bad coffee and slow mornings and one last shot at something they never let themselves want. Maybe love doesn't roar at 200mph. Maybe, this time, it tiptoes in through the kitchen door. ~~~ I grew up on F1 but don't expect realism. Expect mess. Bad decisions. Vibes over plot. I have no idea how this happened. One second, I'm vibing. Next, I'm writing a Max/Charles fic with sad dad energy, karting trauma, and chaotic Carlando lurking in the background like gremlins.Complete
Horizon| L.N.4
Grief doesn't always come with funerals. Sometimes, it comes quietly-through the slammed door of an apartment you swore you'd never return to. Through the bruises that finally faded but left something heavier behind. Beatrice Piastri knew this kind of grief. The quiet kind. The kind you carry in your chest long after the world thinks you're fine. Leaving him hadn't been the hardest part. Surviving him had. Now, months later, she was back in the paddock-Oscar's little sister with a name of her own, finally trying to breathe again. She'd built a wall of armor out of silence and sharp smiles, convinced she didn't need anyone else. Until him. Lando Norris wasn't supposed to notice her. Not really. Not in the way he did. He had his own weight to carry: the pressure of a world watching, a team that expected wins, and a legacy he was still trying to build before the world decided he'd missed his chance. The fun, smiling front man of McLaren-charming, chaotic, untouchable-was just a shell on most days. Behind the jokes was a mind overclocked with pressure, self-doubt, and the unbearable demand to always be more. They weren't looking for each other. They weren't ready for each other. But broken things sometimes recognize each other in the dark. And when they do- They don't always fix each other. But sometimes, they make surviving feel a little less lonely. --- Based on te 2024 season, all referencese to people are purely casual.Complete
Lights Out • 1 • Formula One ✔️
BOOK 1 Alyssa has been racing under a fake persona for most of her sporting career after becoming sick of the constant dismissal of her talent because of her gender. Gender clearly didn't play a role in driving ability. In her debut season in Formula 2 in 2018 with ART, she finished a single point behind the championship winner, Nick de Vries. She only seemed to improve and managed to beat her teammate, Robert Schwartzman, for the championship in her second year. Despite this, she refused to take off her helmet and reveal her identity to the world. If it hadn't been for Force India spotting her and recommending the young girl, despite her gender, to be a part of a dominant F2 team, Alyssa would never have made it all the way into F1. The pink team, who were successfully clawing back after a dip in performance, liked to gamble; it was certainly a risk when they decided to promote Alyssa up into F1 as a replacement for Sergio Perez. The Brit was only eighteen years old when Force India told her about Checo's retirement, and how she was to be his replacement. Her ability to maintain her F2 champion status despite filling in for him in the F1 seat on two occasions was a main motivator for the decision. They were aware of her struggles to make it as far as she had done so respected her wishes to keep the helmet on and her identity hidden. It brought them more sponsors than Esteban Ocon, and therefore more money to improve the car - why would they complain? For Alyssa, this was a real chance to prove herself. A woman can and will make it big in a male-dominated sport. But will it pay off when it's lights out?

Mad House - 2024 F1 HOUSEHOLD
!!DISCONTINUED!! I wrote this in early 2024 and republished it recently - explanation in my conversations - i dont recommend it (its awfully cringe) When two anonymous people buy a house for the 2023 F1 grid to share seeing as another covid outbreak has hit the 2024 season right on the head, the drivers see this as a dream come true, maybe not the fans, but that was the better of it, it was private. 17 people all in a house, all acting like children even though they are millionaires, Is that any sort of good idea? Disclaimers: I recently republished this and if you read this and enjoyed it have a look at my conversations! ships : Carlando Lestappen Loscar Georgexlewis kimixseb -These are not my characters!! -TW will be at start of chapters -Lots of swearing aha -Give suggestions if u wanna see a ship or something because this is my first book
|Crash Into Me| LN¹
✨ She's a popstar with grease-stained roots. He's an F1 heartbreaker with no idea what's about to hit him. ✨ Alexia Valeria Vega-aka Lexi V-isn't expecting much when she lands in Italy for the Monza Grand Prix. She's just there to surprise her childhood best friend, Oscar Piastri, who scored her VIP passes. That's it. No spotlight. No drama. She's brought along her best friend Gia and her boyfriend, Matteo Cruz-a flashy tech CEO and die-hard McLaren fan. But while Matteo loves fast cars, he doesn't love Lexi's rising fame. He smiles for cameras but flinches when the spotlight lingers too long on her. And lately? It's not going anywhere. Because Lexi isn't just another popstar. She's a first-gen Mexican-American artist, blending English and Spanish into genre-breaking hits. But long before the tours and red carpets, she was helping in her uncle's garage, learning engines like lyrics. F1? It's not just cool-it's in her bones. Then she meets Lando Norris. In the McLaren suite, he doesn't recognize her. Not as the global icon everyone else sees. Just a girl talking engines with stars in her eyes. And Lexi? She likes it that way. Weeks later, Lexi invites Oscar to her show in Monaco-and tells him to bring friends. He brings also Lando. And this time, Lando really sees her. He's known for being charming and untouchable. She's known for being playful and fearless. But something about this feels different. Slower. Realer. He doesn't just like her laugh-he likes the way she sees past the fame. And for once, Lexi's not pretending. Because love at 300 km/h doesn't come with warning signs. 🏁💿💔

As a content creator for the team before they sacked her, Marci did not want her career to end to faceless voices behind a screen. She applied to team after team, including the ones she knew she wouldn't have a chance getting in to. Why did she not have a chance?

However, when she lets her guard drop on a 'dress up' night out, she meets a particular young driver who causes a spiral of decisions that gradually puts her name back into the headlines.

Imagine: Formula 1
Hey:) I'll be writing F1 imagines here about multiple drivers across the 2025 grid. I may use past drivers in my stories, but I will lean towards using drivers that I know and follow. There is a chance I will write smutty imagines, but I will include trigger warnings at the top of the page so no one is surprised. Please be patient with me. I will update as much as I can, but I make no promises as to how fast or consistently I will be. Also, I am a baby fan of F1, let's get that out there right now. I became a fan this year, and while that may not seem long, I truly love the sport, and I want to combine it with my love of writing. If I write something factually incorrect, please let me know calmly, and I will try to correct it. Please also keep in mind that this is all fictional. Remember that only the Formula One names (drivers, etc.) and some world-building is real, but the events will mostly be fictional. If you would like to make a request, go ahead and let me know. I will try to make you proud (lol). I hope you enjoy!
