    Summary

    This is how it is always going to be. Charles thinks, watching the podium from his driver’s room with a strange mix of comfort and doom. Max is handsome like this, hair messy and cheeks flushed. They have been doing this since they were five, his mind a flipbook of similar memories - Max standing proud, Charles watching from below.

    He doesn’t know if it is the horror of a P4, or Carlos’ existentialism getting to him, but he struggles to imagine his life any different to the way it is now, hard to imagine any universe in which Max Verstappen is not slightly better than him

    --OR --

    Max and Charles fall in love over the 2024 Formula 1 Season. One story told in 24 universes.
