Max Verstappen to Mercedes? The paddock is buzzing. The media's in meltdown. Dr. Anastasia "Ana" Wolff, Mercedes' notoriously brilliant, emotionally unavailable lead systems engineer and Toto Wolff's eldest daughter, is not handling it well. Because Max isn't just a potential signing, he's the man she's been sleeping with in secret for nearly a decade. And if the rumours are true, and Max Verstappen really is joining Mercedes, then Ana's carefully compartmentalised world is about to explode.

Max Verstappen is making his name part of Formula 1 history, starting with his championship fight in 2021. Backstage, his life is troubled. He has an unhealthy relationship with his dad and, consequently, with himself. He was broken. His trust and heart have been crushed and he has become a broken man whose heart is stone-cold. George Russell is a well-known talent around the grid, who happened to like someone he couldn't have, until now. Until she comes back into his life. She is as broken as him, both for the same experience but completely different reasons.
