    Summary

    George Russell liked to think he noticed things. It came with the job. And yet, somehow, he hadn’t noticed when this started.

    Summary

    The air is warm. The ground is damp from the rain an hour prior. House music thuds from an open window and bodies are jostled around in rhythm with the beat.

    It’s Friday night and Lando is standing at the Piastris’ front door knowing it’s the last time he can dream about how Oscar will react when he sees his face again.

    He rings the doorbell and tries to forget how Oscar used to leave the side door unlocked so that he could come in without disturbing his cat. Lando wonders if he went and tried to open that door now if it would give just as easily as it used to.

    Summary

    An email couldn't singlehandedly change one's life, right? Except that this one had just turned Max's life upside down, while also bringing a smile to the faces of two other men. And those two men were soon going to be a lot more important in Max's being than he would have ever imagined (or wished).

    "Dear Drivers, Teams, and Manufacturers,

    I hope this message finds you well and energised as we gear up for the much-anticipated 2025 Formula 1 season.

    Summary

    The Grid is not officially a frathouse, but it's not not a frathouse. With the reputation they have- and fourteen university students from different countries in different majors shoved together into one house- it's basically a fraternity focused on pancakes, homosexual relationships, and trying not to flunk out of university. From the flood-prone basement to the drafty attic, the building has been through near-catastrophic fires, house-dividing arguments, Halloween parties, and more inhabitants than is probably recommended. Given the complicated relationships and rivalries between the many current and former residents, that's to be expected, right? At least the building is still standing.

    ~

    The click of Oscar’s Tupperware closing brought Lando back out of his thoughts. Right. He still had one more class, then yoga, and then he could panic about his maybe-crush on his roommate.

    Jesus Christ, what kind of idiot developed a crush on their roommate?

    Summary

    Oscar knows he's unapproachable. He knows why he has no driver friends. He knows why his teammate pretended to like him.

    Lando doesn't know why Oscar's ignoring him, doesn't know why they can't seem to communicate, and doesn't know what they're going to do.

    When Lando finds a way to maybe, MAYBE, make it all work, he might get more than either of them thought possible.

    Summary

    Flash. Click. The shot captured them mid-laugh, eyes locked - Oscar’s expression soft and unguarded, Lando’s relaxed and carefree.

    It looked real. Too real.

    “Brilliant, lads!” PR said. “We’ll send the relevant pictures to you two to post, alright?”

    Lando leant back into his seat, muttering, “Brilliant, huh? Guess we’re good at pretending.”

    Oscar glanced at him, still caught off guard.

    “Yeah,” he says quietly. “Guess we are.”

    The next day, the picture hit Instagram.

    ***

    AKA Oscar thinks Lando hates him. Lando is secretly in love the entire time. They fake date to clean up a PR nightmare. It doesn't quite go as anyone expects.

    Summary

    When Sebastian Vettel said “Everyone is a Ferrari fan”, he probably didn’t mean ‘even the Devil himself’.

    Charles Leclerc is a demon who has disobeyed his superiors too many times, his punishment is to fufill the Devil’s wishes and help Ferrari win a world championship without revealing he’s anything other than human.

    -

    When the Archangels hear about the Devil's pointless little mission, they send one of their subordinates down in retaliation. They can't have the delicate balance of the universe being disrupted, even for something as small as this.

    Max Verstappen is the angel chosen for the job.

    OR

    Demon!Charles has to win the world championship for Ferrari or face eternal damnation, Angel!Max is sent to stop him from causing havoc, they're both way more interested in racing than they should be, and driving fast cars isn’t the only guilty pleasure they indulge in….

    Summary

    For McLaren, Lando Norris is the golden boy, and Oscar Piastri is the talented number two. At least, that's how it was supposed to be. But when Oscar's speed becomes a real threat in 2025, the friendly partnership fractures.

    After a mistake on track leaves Oscar vulnerable, a moment of fake (or not?) kindness from Lando feels more like an insult; a pat on the head from a driver who doesn't fear him (or does he?).

    That was the final straw. Oscar is done playing nice and ready to prove that the biggest threat to Lando's ambitions is sitting in the exact same car as him.

    Summary

    The 2014 Japanese Grand Prix was a harrowing moment for the world, Max Verstappen included. The tragedy of this day would be the start of a domino effect of incidences where the young driver would realize just what grief and loss can do to those you love, and how letting things go unsaid only open the wounds more and more. Ten years later, Max would be given that chance to rectify what he had always wished to do.

    Summary

    During the Baku Grand Prix, Lando Norris slams into the wall, leaving him unconscious and rushed to surgery. While his body lies in a coma, his soul drifts through countless timelines—retired and happy with Oscar, divorcing him in court, or living a thousand lives in between. No matter where he lands, it’s always Oscar by his side.

    In reality, Oscar refuses to leave Lando’s hospital bed, two weeks of silent devotion breaking him apart. When Lando finally returns—tears in his eyes, Oscar’s hand in his—he understands the truth: every timeline leads back to Oscar. And in this one, they both finally say the words they’ve been too afraid to admit.

    Summary

    It was bullshit.

    Mohammed bin Sulayem, the FIA, the Red Bull car, the McLaren flexi wing. All bullshit.

    Most importantly, the fact that drivers can’t swear on radios and interviews is bullshit.

    or, the 2024 grid stages a protest by all swearing in their native languages.

These glimpses of 2021 become a catalyst for change, forcing them to confront the painful ruins of their present and find the courage to build a bridge toward the redemption and love that awaits them.

    Summary

    It was supposed to be a fake enemies arc.
    It should’ve been all about the title fight.
    But now Ollie’s taking cold showers out of pure secondhand embarrassment, losing his mind over Tumblr memes, and seriously questioning how long Kimi’s known he’s been in love.

    By the time they reach Abu Dhabi, one of them will win the WDC.
    And the other will get tackled in Parc Fermé and kissed on the helmet.

    (Spoiler: it’s the same person.)

    Summary

    Formula one cars move at over 300 km/h. That means over 80 meters go by in a second; and that is the reason why drivers train their reflexes.

    Oscar barely saw it coming his way, it came at him too suddenly, but that is no excuse, he trains his reflexes for a reason.

    Later, reviewing the onboards and multiple track cameras, he’d learn that Max had swerved too close over the edge and displaced the debris. It bumped into the side of his car and the wind sent it flying backwards right onto Oscar’s path.

    But that is at a later date, right now Oscar tries to swerve to avoid the mysterious object.

     

    And he fails.

    Summary

    Setting: A small UK school in 1996. Photography club, darkrooms, grey skies, hallways buzzing with Walkmans and corded phones at home. Lando and Oscar are in their final year.
    Oscar Piastri is the quiet, but confident, observant lead of the school’s photography club, always behind the camera, rarely in front of it. Lando Norris is loud, unpredictable, and sentenced to the club for detention hours. He mocks it at first—until it starts becoming his favorite subject.
    As they develop film together in the red-lit darkroom, Lando sees himself through Oscar’s lens: softer, more human.
