Hanna Verstappen, younger sister to reigning Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen, has carved a unique path in motorsport. Racing under her mother's maiden name, she has kept her family ties carefully hidden from the paddock, determined to prove herself on merit alone. Now competing in Formula 2, she's on the brink of breaking into the sport's top tier.
But Hanna's life is more than racing. A professional dancer and choreographer, she exists between two worlds-one demanding speed, precision, and competition, and the other built on artistry, rhythm, and expression. Both passions drive her, both pull at her, and both ask for sacrifices she isn't always sure she's willing to make.
Her relationship with Max, once fractured, was rebuilt after tragedy. Years ago, Hanna endured an abusive relationship that left her hospitalized with both physical scars and deep emotional wounds. Max and their parents stood by her side through the darkest moments, and since then, Max has been fiercely protective of her. Hanna, however, longs to prove she can stand on her own.
Now, with her true identity poised to be revealed, whispers ripple through the paddock:
Why had Hanna kept her name a secret?
Can she withstand the pressure of being Max Verstappen's sister while building her own legacy?
Will she ever be able to balance racing with her love of dance?
And as her journey unfolds, will she find herself drawn toward an unexpected love with a fellow driver-someone who could understand the unique pressures of life on the grid, yet complicate it all the same?
Hanna Verstappen's story is one of resilience, ambition, and discovery-a tale of finding strength in scars, chasing dreams at full throttle, and learning that sometimes the heart races faster than any engine.
