Summary
“We are of course celebrating,” Max says simply. “Or commiserating. Your choice.”
And he can tell he means it. For once, it really is Oscar’s choice, and it’s one he’s not going to be judged for making. The relief is instant, and overwhelming.
Or: Oscar is retiring, probably. The first person he tells is Max.

Logan finds Oscar and curls him into a tight hug. Oscar’s hands hold tightly onto Logan, grief and anger and shame clear in just the curl of his knuckles in Logan’s jacket.

It will be the rest of Logan’s life.
(A Challengers (2024) inspired take on Logan and Oscar, from multiple different perspectives, as they both chase after the dream of Formula One.)

Summary
If he could race again, he’d do it in a heartbeat. To shove a helmet on, strap himself in again. Sometimes, it’s all he can think about, getting back in it.
Then he remembers how it felt to lose it all.
Racing was everything. All his friends, all his love. The lines got blurred when he was still in it. He cared too much. Things went too fast, on the track, off the track. It was too much and not enough and he kept fucking reaching for more without checking if he was able to hold it.
Or, how Logan poorly, then not so poorly, deals with his life after leaving the world of F1.
