Summary
Max Verstappen, a Formula One Driver born and broken for the sport, has known many things in his life. But racing? It was practically part of his anatomy, it laced his veins and bloomed in his lungs, it was all he was, all he would ever be. There was nothing that he hadn’t done, nothing that he hadn’t already given up, for this sport.
The three-time World Champion was no stranger to how harsh their secluded world could be.
One is the loneliest number there ever was, and even the top step isn’t stranger to the cold.
An all too familiar darkness tends to consume the raging storm that’s been brewing for years, but the burning sunset might just be his salvation yet.

Summary
The music was like an echo of something Charles had lost, a reminder of an emptiness he had to keep on fighting. It was struggling to do what you’ve always wanted to do, it was seeing the one you had loved the most being kissed by another, it was lonely nights falling asleep on top of the keys.
or; Charles, a talented pianist turned singer-songwriter, struggles to write his debut album while navigating his breakup with F1 world champion Max Verstappen. What's worse is that no one even knew that they were ever together.

Summary
Max Verstappen loves racing, this is a universal truth.
He’s spent the last decade of his life racing on the biggest stage in the world of motorsport. Through all these years, Max never really got nervous or hesitant.

It was always going to be a matter of time. A matter of when, not if. There had been no room for nervosity, no need for it. Through it all, Max Verstappen had always felt in control of his own future.
That is, until Max Verstappen met Charles Leclerc.
