    Summary

    Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

    “Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

    “No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

    “Go fuck yourself.”

    +++

    Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

    And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

    Summary

    Liam never had the Rookie experience.

    It's a little fact he hardly thinks about truth be told, a small thing that only sometimes nags at the back of his mind, something so small, so irrelevant he feels a little embarrassed to even acknowledge at all most of the time, let alone allow himself to feel anything regarding it.

    F1 is fast. F1 is unpredictable. F1 is harsh.

    At least that was his experience: Liam wasn't taught how to navigate it, he was one of those kids who learned how to swim by being thrown on the deep end while the adults around watched with vague interest, not overly worried about the possibility of him sinking because they had other kids waiting by the shore.

    He didn't know things could be different, but oh how clearly he saw that they could.

    Just not for him.

    Or: 5 times Liam didn't think he mattered as much to Max and the Rookies and the ensuing crash outs they had over it.

    Summary

    “Max, it is three in the morning. This better not be another one of your stupid jokes. Why do you have Lando’s phone?”

    Max opens his mouth and then closes it again.

    Because you’re dead, he tries to say. Because I watched you die. Because your car folded in on itself, and I counted to seven and drove away.

    Or: keep your friends close and your possibly undead rival, whose death and life you might singlehandedly be responsible for, closer.

    Summary

    I should warn Lewis, Charles thinks, first thing in the morning, as he stares himself down and brushes his teeth. As he scrambles eggs for breakfast. As he takes a shower. As he calls his mom and lets her scold him for scruffy his hair looks

    He doesn't.

    Ferrari is haunted, and Charles — Charles doesn't care about it half as much as he should.
