Summary
After a devastating accident that almost ended her career for good, Alexandra is given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to chase her ultimate dream: competing in Formula 1. The daughter of the late driver Elio de Angelis, Alex grew up under the weight of high expectations and made a promise to herself to do whatever it took to honor her father’s legacy. However, the road to success in the most prestigious motorsport category would be anything but easy.
Fernando Alonso, a young Spanish driver brimming with potential, is also embarking on his rookie season. Coming from a humble background, he’s learned that perseverance and sharp instincts are essential to achieving his goals—and he’s determined to make a lasting impression in his debut year in Formula 1.
When Alex and Fernando’s paths collide, sparks fly, and the animosity between them is immediate. But as both are signed to race for the small and scrappy Minardi team, they must strike a balance between rivalry and teamwork to avoid turning the season into a complete disaster.
Alex knew this year would be unpredictable and a turning point in her life… but she never could have imagined just how much.
