Summary
In the high-speed world of Formula 1, image is everything—until someone starts tearing it apart from the inside.
As the 2026 season heats up, a string of anonymous data leaks begins exposing the drivers’ most private moments: therapy recordings, voice memos, even late-night video calls never meant for public eyes. The paddock is thrown into chaos, suspicion spreads like wildfire, and no one knows who to trust. But the message is clear—someone is watching, and they know exactly where it hurts.

Summary
Let the record show: this is not a love story.
Or rather, it is — but not the kind with declarations and happy endings and one singular, beautiful narrative thread. It begins with a protein bar. A hospital. A boy who nearly disappeared and the man who refused to stop seeing him.
Charles is released from a Swiss psychiatric facility just in time to miss the season he should’ve ruled. Pierre finishes eleventh. Ferrari keeps making statements, Alpine pays for sushi, and Lando Norris doesn’t know when a joke becomes a promise.
Told out of order, because memory is faulty and trauma even more so, this story is about:
— the notebook Charles never meant anyone to read
— the email Pierre never wanted to write
— and the scars neither of them can stop touchingIn the end, they survive. But survival is not the same as being okay.
Featuring: post-attempt recovery, visible scars, press manipulation, mirror sex in Vegas, a wildly inappropriate amount of sushi, and one very worried narrator who knows that love doesn’t fix people — it just rearranges the furniture in their drowning house.

Summary
Max gazes at the contract once more, silently hoping that looking at it more will make it disappear.
Mia speaks up again, this time her eyes fall on Charles. “And please remember that this is for work. No parties, no clubs, and absolutely no hooking up with anyone.”
Max scoffs next to Charles, Mias words vaguely supplying the fact that Charles has found himself in a situation like this before. However, he is interrupted quickly by Mia quickly reminding him that, “you too, Max”. Out of the corner of his eye he can see Charles face slightly begin to form a smug smile. He has to clench his fists to keep himself from punching him.
Again.
OR: Max and Charles share slaps and punches after both losing a tight championship battle. The two are required to endure a 6 day holiday stuck together on a remote island in the Pacific to counter the medias theories about Max and Charles hatred for each other. Forced to interact with one another, they realize that they are more compatible than they thought.

Summary
Max says, “from your pop up in New York, this guy says ‘no Cadillac?’ like a rude fucking idiot and then you say ‘nah I’m done’ with your big PR smile. It is funny because I was not under the impression that you were ‘done’, Daniel. You have not said that you are done.”
He clears his throat, hums, says quietly, “I mean I think the decision was made for me, Maxy."
or: the one where Daniel goes to Cadillac

Summary
Max Verstappen was built to win. But under the steel nerves and ruthless consistency lies a boy forged by fire, silence, and fear.
Charles Leclerc shines in scarlet – on posters, podiums, and screens – but no one sees the bruises beneath the brilliance.
Their story begins in silence and secrecy, threaded with tension on and off the grid. But when Charles crashes and everything stops, Max is forced to reckon with what he's been too afraid to name.
A slow-burning journey of healing, secrecy, and love – in the paddock, on the track, and in the hidden corners of their hearts.
This is not a fairytale. But maybe, just maybe, it can still end in gold.Series

Summary
Their first shared podium and the team’s first win came at Silverstone, with Max in P1 and Logan in P3. From the sidelines, Max watched as Jenson Button interviewed his teammate. Logan is beaming, his smile wide, a bounce in his step as he talks about how special Silverstone is to him, and thanked Red Bull for giving him a second chance to prove himself. Max threw caution to the wind when Logan turned to him, champagne dripping from his face, and smiled this bright, infectious, earth-shattering smile at him. The bottle of champagne slipped from Max’s hand, forgotten, as he pulled Logan into a hug.
“I’m so proud of you, Liefje,” he whispered, pressing his nose to the line of Logan’s jaw, trying and failing, to make it look platonic for the cameras.****
Or; Max was chasing history, a 5th title, he didn’t expect to find Logan Sargeant along the way and he never expected to want him more than the win. -

Summary
“Wait” Max held up a hand.
He thought back to Abu Dhabi 2024; the last race of the season, even though he couldn’t drive because someone had knocked him up. He thought about Charles insisting on tying the Dutch flag around his neck before going to the track, eyes glassy. People clapping him on the back and ruffling his hair, Lando whooping, Charles crying, the Dutch national anthem playing, fucking orange fireworks in the fucking sky-
“Do. . . do people think I retired?”
“. . . No” Charles' voice cracked.

Max returns to racing after having his and Charles' pup, even if (almost) no one expected him to.

Summary
F1 organises an elaborate hide and seek game with the 2026 grid. Twenty drivers hiding, two drivers seeking. The prize for finding the most drivers and for being the best hidden is the same: Two passes to skip all media duties on two weekends on the winners’ choosing.
Max thinks the whole thing is stupid and childish, but he is going to get those passes whatever happens, even if he has to encroach on Checo’s hiding spot to avoid being caught.
Checo, who had planned to take a nap in a crate during the whole thing, would like it if Max got off of him.
Or would he?

Summary
2026 is Ferrari's year, historical and chaotic, and it goes down something like this. (If you ask most fans, or a certain Dutch F1 World Champion, though, they would say it's Charles' year. And hey, that's close enough, in this decade.)

“So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"”Or, a Logan Sargeant fic.

“Well, in that case…” the lady smiled “What about this one?” she showed of a display further away and reached for a band in the front “It’s a little bit more pricey, but with it you have the combination of most the features you liked before, small silver edges and two colour middle part with sapphire and emerald filings”
Max took a closer look at the piece and grinned.
The most beautiful. Just like his man.
“I will take this one”

Summary
Max Verstappen, a multi-time world champion, shocks the racing world by announcing his retirement. Charles Leclerc is furious, storming into Max’s home demanding answers.
“What happened to racing together for the next 15-20 years?!” Charles doesn’t even know why he's so upset—he only knows something feels wrong. Max, a little perplexed but calm as ever, simply offers, “Drive for Red Bull.”
Charles is stunned, the anger momentarily forgotten. “I don’t want to race for Red Bull if you’re not there.”
Max’s response? A cryptic, “Who says I wouldn’t be?”
Completely thrown off, Charles snaps, “You’re confusing me, mate!”
Max’s grin widens. “You want to win, right?”
Charles scowls. “Yes, but with Ferrari—and against you.”
Max shrugs. “That’s not gonna happen. Even Lewis couldn’t get his 8th in a Ferrari. But you could win with me.”
“Stop talking in riddles, Max!”
Max steps closer, lowering his voice. “Race for Red Bull, and I’ll be your engineer.”
Now it’s Charles who’s speechless.
