Years after a childhood friendship faded without a goodbye, Sophia Costa leaves Portugal behind to start a new chapter in London after accepting a job in McLaren's Marketing team. She expects a fresh start, a new career, and the chance to discover the world of Formula 1 from the inside.
What she doesn't expect is to come face to face with Oscar Piastri-the boy she used to spend every summer with, the friend she never truly forgot, and the one person she never imagined seeing again.
As old memories resurface and unresolved feelings begin to blur the line between past and present, both of them are forced to confront the question they never thought they'd have to answer: what happens when the person you left in the past suddenly becomes part of your future?
A story about first loves, second chances, growing up, and discovering that sometimes the people who shape us the most are the ones we leave behind.
Inspired by Adele's "When We Were Young", this story is a reminder that some people never really leave us-they simply become memories, waiting for the right moment to return.

Lando never expected to find comfort in the little sister of his biggest competition.

GOLDEN HOUR || LN4
When Lando Norris disappears after the season's final race, the world starts asking questions. He doesn't answer any of them. Instead, he drives - south, until the roads narrow, until the air smells like salt and oranges, until his name doesn't matter anymore. In a small coastal village where time moves slower and sunsets last forever, he meets Mae Hollis - a woman who keeps her own silence, who runs an old guesthouse filled with postcards, stray cats, and people passing through. She doesn't recognize him at first. And for once, he doesn't correct her. Between empty beaches, midnight confessions, and the soft pull of the tide, they find a fragile kind of peace. But the golden hour never lasts - and when the world comes looking, both will have to choose whether what they found was a pause... or a beginning. 🌊 "He thought he came to forget. She reminded him what it meant to stay."Complete

NO PRESS AREA || OP81
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.Complete
unscripted - f1
Mia Martins is a Portuguese sports journalist working in Formula 1. Her luck changes when she wins a draw among the interns and is sent to the Monaco Grand Prix. An unexpected mix-up leads to her being mistaken for an international reporter, and that ends up changing the course of her career. Instead of simply observing from the sidelines, she's taken to a private room and told she'll be conducting a short interview with the drivers on the podium. With no time to understand what's happening, she suddenly finds herself face to face with Charles Leclerc, Oscar Piastri, and Lando Norris. With no time to think, she improvises. What could have been a disaster turns into a spontaneous, charming interview that wins over both the drivers and the producers. The video goes viral and, in a single day, Mia stops being "the lucky intern" and becomes one of Formula 1's most promising new journalists. The story follows Mia's unexpected rise as she faces the adrenaline behind the scenes, builds new friendships, and discovers connections that can change everything - both on and off the track. It's a romance with a bit of slow burn and friends-to-lovers. The main love interest is Lando Norris.Complete
