Summary
“I thought…” George says and then stops. Is it weird to tell someone you thought they were dead? Probably. Alex Albon feels like far too much of an impossibility to be real. “I didn’t know where you went. You never called me back.”
And then suddenly he’s that little kid, sitting on Alex’s doorstep in the pouring rain, wondering what he’d done wrong, how badly he’d messed up as a friend that Alex would leave and not even think to tell him.
Fourteen years after Alex Albon had left him and racing without a word, George finds him at an art gallery.

Summary
George and Max tried to stay discreet, they really did...
Well, excluding all the times when they were devouring each other around the paddock like the world was ending tomorrow.
Or when they insisted on travelling together no matter where they went...
Or when they simply had to visit those fancy restaurants...The grid started suspecting something.
But Max and George together was impossible... Right?Series

Summary
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.

Summary
On the eve of their Formula One debuts, Andrea Kimi Antonelli and the rookies are invited to Brazil to watch the race and meet their future teammates. For most of them, it’s nerves, excitement, and late-night banter. For Kimi, it’s a delicate balancing act between being a teenager stepping into the biggest stage in motorsport — and being the heir to a secret throne. Italy’s hidden monarchy is centuries ahead of the world in technology and power, but no one in the paddock knows. Secrets strain friendships, test loyalties, and twist into something far more dangerous than racing at 300 km/h.

“Shit—sorry, mate!” came a voice, warm and unmistakably British. “Didn’t see you there—blame the bloody rain.”
Oscar blinked.
The man who’d barrelled into him was holding a motorbike helmet under one arm, dark curls wet and a little wild, and wearing what looked like yesterday’s hoodie under a black and red leather jacket that had definitely seen better days. His grin was apologetic, showing a little tooth gap and far too charming for someone dripping onto the welcome mat like a soaked dog.

Before he can finish that thought, Max has him pinned into submission.

Summary
In a world where F1 drivers are magical creatures, the world champion’s trophy is coveted because it is filled with fairy dust. Champions can use their dust however they like, in their personal lives or by sprinkling it on themselves and their cars to help defend their titles the following season.
In the midst of the heated 2021 championship battle, Lewis’ hard-earned abundant supply of fairy dust got stolen right from the Mercedes factory, leaving him with nothing.
After losing his title and the difficult seasons that followed, Lewis goes to Ferrari with the hopes of proving everyone who says he only ever won seven titles because of fairy dust wrong.
He has given up on ever getting his fairy dust back, but he wasn’t counting on the determined little Isack Hadjar, who suspects Red Bull of staging the burglary.
OR
Lewis said fairy dust in the driver’s parade and now we have this.

Honestamente nunca tuvo ganas de explorar su dinámica y si lo piensa un poco, tampoco contó con el tiempo para hacerlo ya que su preocupación a lo largo de su infancia y adolescencia se resumia en seguir corriendo.
La temporada 2025 lo está enloqueciendo, y no en el buen sentido ¿Cómo es posible que ahora invierta parte del tiempo del sim racing en artículos para omega o que no pueda evitar sus instintos paternales con los "adultos jovenes" de la parrilla?

Five Times Max hid his Animal Form and One Time He Didn't by echoelocation

Summary
There are rookies on the grid. Five new rookies, six if you include Liam. Max is absolutely including Liam into the roster, because he still looks so young and excited and nervous about his season, and he keeps spiking his hair up with some silly hair gel which then makes Max want to smooth it back down, and—
There are six rookies on the grid. Which is totally fine, and Max is completely normal about. 100%, totally normal.
It’s his fucking cat instincts that seem to have a problem with them.
Or:
In a world full of animal shifters, Max being able to turn into a cat shouldn't be that weird. It wouldn't be, if Jos hadn't spent Max's entire life convincing the world Max could turn into a lion and not a house cat. Now, Max is stuck wrangling both his cat instincts and six rookies while trying to not let the entire world find out his brand "Unleash the lion" is a lie.
Somehow, Charles is involved in all of this. Max isn't quite sure how.

It is at this moment that Isack realizes three things that instantly instill dread.One, he ran face-first into his biggest (and only) crush. Two, he had a full-on shutdown in front of two of his three favorite drivers, and they are now staring at him with worried faces. Three, he is wearing their team merch.

Summary
"You cannot question his driving abilities, but he cannot deal with adversity."
Max hates George fucking Russell, with his stupid PR smile and his endless yapping and his stupid fucking PowerPoint presentations (not that Max has ever seen any of them, but he can imagine the horrors) and the way George always seems so willing to play along whenever the fucking Sky Sports vultures start looking to stir up drama.
(He hates it even more that he can't deny that the things George says about him are true.)

The FIA isn’t exactly waving rainbow flags right now.
Max already has beef with them.
MBS definitely has an agenda.
If they wanted to make an example of someone… Max would be the first name on the list.Carlos

He’s always one step away from telling them to f* off on live TV
Not idealAlex
So what do we do?
Like actually?Lewis
We look out for them.
Quietly. Subtly. Always.Lewis
Make sure nobody sneaks photos when they’re not paying attention.
If they forget themselves, be there to nudge them back.
Not in a way that shames them. Just keep them safe.Lando

Absolutely.
Just do it with love.Lando

Race morning in Melbourne was supposed to be quiet. Peaceful. Charles had been enjoying exactly that—a nice stretch of calm with a hot cup of coffee and no interruptions—when Pierre showed up and ruined it.
"You actually marked Max."
Charles nearly spat out his coffee.
Max once smelled of pure lavender, but now he smells like Charles too.
