But as the cameras roll and the world watches, everything she's worked for begins to crumble around her. Enter Charles Leclerc: Ferrari's golden boy, the embodiment of warmth, kindness, and raw talent. To Alexandra, he's the sun-a force of purity in a world that often feels dark and cold. But as they draw closer, she begins to realize that his light might be the only thing keeping her from falling apart. Beneath the glitz and glamour of her career lies a family history shrouded in scandal, and secrets that have always lingered just out of reach. A sinister gossip blog is poised to tear apart everything Alexandra holds dear, and her connection to key figures within the F1 world feels more like a curse than fate. With every moment of happiness slipping through her fingers, Alexandra wonders how much longer she can withstand the pressure of the spotlight-and whether Charles's warmth will be enough to save her from the storm that's closing in. In a world of fame, fortune, and fierce competition, sometimes the greatest victory is simply surviving. Because in the end, she's just as human as anyone else.Complete
Behind the Visor ・ Lando Norris
Élise isn't just a photographer, she's a bridge between the sport and fans. She believes F1 drivers are seen as an icons when they're actually deeply human-flawed, funny, anxious, ambitious. What she sees through her lens is in the quiet corners of paddocks, in the split-second glance before the visor goes down. Her work doesn't spotlight the podium. It captures the person. Then she met Lando. He was everything the sport pretended not to be: unfiltered, unpredictable, and unwilling to play her game. But as they collided, professionally and personally, Élise realized that changing how fans see F1 would take more than just a new angle. It would take someone who challenged her focus entirely. Together, they might just rewrite the story behind the visor. ✧˚ · . social media x real life ✧˚ · . oc x lando norris ✧˚ · . slow burn
