Summary
Two girls make their way from the karting tracks to Formula 1. Girlhood connects them deeper than Max would expect.
Max’s mum doesn’t let her read what they say about her, or about Charles, but her dad does. They use words that sting. Every spin off the track is because they’re girl drivers, every clash they have together because they’re fighting over a boy in the karts behind them. Max will always be the “girl driver”; every time she pushes too hard she’s hormonal, every time she misses the mark she’s too soft.
“This is the way in the world,” says her father. “You will have to be tougher.”

Summary
It all started with a crash.
Well, technically, it started with a blue-eyed boy with blonde hair getting screamed at in a language he couldn’t understand when he was only 8 years old. He remembered looking at the boy, who couldn’t be much older than himself - (two weeks older, to be exact, he’d learn later) - and watching the spark disappear right out of those icy blue eyes.
That was the first memory Charles Leclerc had of Max Verstappen: Watching Jos Verstappen, Max’s own father, scream at this 8 year old child with an intensity that turned his face red and made every blood vessel in his neck look dangerously close to bursting.
But if anyone ever were to ask Charles when he started to realize that his feelings towards that same Max Verstappen he had known since childhood had begun to change into something else, something bigger, something terrifying he couldn’t - or wouldn’t - quite put his finger on, he would say that it all started with a crash.
Because of fucking course it did.

Summary
Sebastian walks towards him, never breaking eye contact. A soft curve forms at his lips. He tilts his hip to the side in front of Mark and with one hand he reaches for Mark’s tie while leaning forward. With the other he covers the cleavage of the bodice in a mockery of modesty.
Mark thinks, breathless, if only he would take that hand away.
Sebastian does. And as soon as he does, he’s gone.
