The ups and downs that take place in your relationship once Daniel is left without an F1 seat.
“What do you mean you’re out?”
Furiously, Daniel unzips his fireproofs as he ties the sleeves around his waist. He rummages through his duffel bag, growing more and more impatient, then takes a cautious step forward when you hand him his water bottle. “Thanks,” he lowly mutters and takes a long sip. The Australian shakes his head and looks blankly towards the white wall. “They want someone younger. More talented.”
“But you’re talented, Daniel! You’re better than anyone here!”
Letting out a weak smile, he angles himself lower to hug you before pulling away and brushing your hair behind your ear. “No, I don’t think I am anymore.”
That was two months ago when news came out that your boyfriend would no longer be driving for McLaren. It was a complete shock, considering everyone loved the bubbly Australian, but it honestly didn’t hurt anyone more than it did you. Often, he would remind you that he was the one left without a seat and that you should be glad you would both have some time to disconnect and be together.
Your shake your head as you munch grumpily on a stack of pancakes. “I love that you’re around—of course I do—but what they did to you was completely unfair. Who in their right mind expects good results for a shit car? That’s their fault, not yours.”
He lets out a smile. “Relax, baby. I get it. You don’t want me around.” Sharp eyes narrow as you fling a pair of gloves at his chest, from his recent addiction to dirt biking. Don’t even, you warn. He lets out a sigh, then he opens his mouth for you to pop in a bite. Digging your fork on a piece of pancake, you raise your arm up to feed him. He hums at the taste. “I was kidding, but seriously— it's okay. I’ll get over it. You should, too.”
As much as he said he was doing fine, you knew something wasn’t right. He was hurt, felt betrayed, and it did him no good to keep rejecting his feelings. But you didn’t bring up the topic anymore. You knew he didn’t like the reminder of what once was.
-
Dirt crunches underneath your boots as you walk up to him and Scotty. The Australians are hunched over, trying their best to fix their bikes as they share a bottle of cheap beer underneath the blazing sun. The twenty-nine year old spots you first as he squints his blue eyes. You’re up early. You flip him off as you pretend to kick a pile of dirt towards him. He comedically raises his arms as he wiggles his brows. “Chloe is looking for you. I think she’s gonna beat your ass.”
He quickly stands up as he blows a deep breath directly to your boyfriend's face. You cringe. They share a quick look before Daniel shoots a thumbs up. “You’re good.” Thanking him, Scotty rushes past you as he hands you his left over beer. Making your way over to the brunette, you take a seat next to him as you spill the remaining dark liquid.
“Isn’t it too early to be drinking?”
“Isn’t it too early to be looking so beautiful?”
You muster a glare. “Don’t change the subject, Daniel.” Avoiding eye contact, he just keeps his tired gaze entertained on an Acacia tree. Bringing the bottle up to his lips, he lets out a low whistle. It’s hot. A cold beer helps. “Right,” you mumble as you flicker your own eyes towards the green tree. You can still spot it—your initials and his engraved. He had done it one evening when he and Scotty had one too many drinks. He had stumbled all the way just to drag you and show you. Because I love you. Even when I’m drunk, I love you like crazy.
“Trees getting old. Might be time to cut it down.”
You flinch at his words. “Can I have a sip?” He raises his brows as he hands you the bottle. You just had one, he tries to joke as he watches the way you chug it down. Drying your lips, you crane your neck to look up at the blue sky. “You never minded sharing before.” He can distinguish the way your voice sounds—as if you’re upset over something he might’ve said—but he knows he hasn’t done anything wrong. Standing up, you hand him back the glass bottle.
“Cut the tree. I don’t care.”
-
“And to my beautiful girlfriend—you’re everything to me and I love you. Without a doubt, the best birthday present I could ever ask for.” Raising his Coca-Cola can, the brown eyed boy sends you a wink with a bright smile plastered across his face. A face you’ve grown to recognize. The one you love.
Making his way over, he throws his arms over your shoulders as he rocks you side to side. You smile against his chest. “How does it feel to be thirty-four? Do you have bad knees already?” He lets out a toothy grin and he slaps your ass. “It’s just a question!”
“My knees are fine. As long as I can still kneel down in front of you—that’s all that matters, no?”
You blush at his words as you jokingly push him away. This only makes him cling onto you harder. Squinting your eyes up at him, you trace heart shapes against his biceps. You sincerely feel the happiest you’ve felt in ages. This is the Daniel you knew like the back of your hand. “I was thinking maybe we can take a trip. Anywhere, really. To celebrate—"
“My birthday?” He beams. “This is why you’re the sweetest girlfriend in the entire world!” No problem, you shyly respond as you pinch his t-shirt in between your fingers. Kissing you one last time, he excuses himself to go welcome some late-comers. Chole zig zags her way over to you as she gives you a side hug.
“How’d it go?”
You sigh. “He forgot. He completely forgot. I don’t think I can entirely blame him—I mean, it is his birthday.” The fact that you have to defend him makes the blonde furrow her dark brows. Shaking her head, she hands you a slice of chocolate cake.
“Never in a million years did your guys’ anniversary slip his mind. What a dick.”
But you’re not even listening. You’re too flabbergasted that he cut his cake without you being there with him.
-
Whether it was a trip to Vermont for his birthday or your anniversary, it didn’t really matter, because you loved every second. It’s almost like he needed this break. To do something different that didn’t feel like a forced routine. You went hiking, apple picking, to a million bars that only served barbecue ribs—and you never felt more at peace.
Handing you a bouquet of flowers, he kneels down in front of you. You roll your eyes as you take the colorful peonies from him—though inside you were shaking like a seventeen year old getting her first glimpse of love. “What’s this for?” He shrugs as he takes a seat next to you.
“Just because.”
Those were your favorite types of flowers. Intertwining his fingers with yours, you both continue chatting about anything and everything that crossed your mind. As you both pass by a peach tree, he lets go of your hand as he brings up his camera with sudden determination. Stand right there, baby.
Trying to express your happiness as best as you can, you hug your gift close to your face as you smile so wide, your eyes nearly shut.
“You’re mind blowing,” he murmurs as he snaps the picture. He takes a moment to admire you as you jog over to him. Show me! He clicks his tongue. “It’s digital. You’re gonna have to wait.” You pout as you pinch his cheek. Bringing your hand up to his mouth, he presses warm kisses.
“I have something to tell you.” Your heart stops, suddenly filled with anxiety as he smiles with giddiness. What is it? “I’m going to be driving again! I mean, it completely sucks for Nyck, but I’m just so happy to get back into an F1 car.”
“Nyck? As in the Alpha Tauri driver?”
He nods. “I got the call last month—a few days after my birthday. Best present ever.” Once again, his words cut you deep without him even noticing. Nevertheless, you force a tight smile.
“I’m so happy for you, Danny. You’re finally getting what you’ve wanted for so long.”
-
When you both get back to Australia, it surprises you a bit how normal things have stayed. He’s smiling more—if that was ever even possible—he’s laughing louder, too. Roaming the house, you rub your eyes from sleepiness. Scotty and Chloe share a laugh when they spot you. “And Sleeping Beauty has finally woken. I didn’t think that was possible.” Chloe smacks his chest as she sends you a wink.
“Humor me, why don’t you?” Your gaze flickers across the living room. “Where’s Danny?”
“Outside.”
Sliding the door open, you step out as you try your best to adjust your eyesight to the bright sun. As soon as it does, your stomach drops. You run up to the brunette as you pull the ax from him.
“What the fuck are you doing?”
Startled, he jumps up as he takes his earphones out. “Holy shit. You scared me, don’t do that!” Tears fill your eyes as you analyze the chopped tree. You’re no expert, but you can tell that there’s no going back. The only result that comes out of this would be for it to come crashing down. He rushed over with panic, checks you everywhere to make sure you weren’t hurt. You brush him off.
“Why would you do this?”
He cocks his head to the side, brown eyes filled with confusion. “I’m so lost, what did I do?” Anger bubbles up inside of you as you force yourself to not scream at him. “You’re okay, so why are you crying? Oh no. Did Scotty wake you up again? I told him not to do that anymore.”
“I’m done.” You wipe your tears as you let out a bitter laugh. “I am so done.”
“What do you mean you’re done?”
“I’m saying I give up! Fuck, I give up. That’s it. You win. I just —can't.”
He tries to take a step closer, but you only distance yourself twice as much. “You’re scaring me. What’s wrong?”
“I’ve tried so hard to understand you, I really did, but I’m just as tired as you are, okay? I tried to ease your pain when McLaren let you go, but you kept pushing me away. I tried to be there for you on days you felt like nothing, but to me you were always everything. I tried to not let you see how much it hurt me when you forgot our five year anniversary. I tried to not act like it bothered me when you cut the cake I spent hours baking for you, without me. I tried to not act surprised when I found out you kept the news from me about you returning to F1 for one fucking month. But I can’t try and pretend that you cutting down this tree hasn’t broken my heart.”
“It’s just a stupid, old tree—"
“I don’t think you understand! It may be old, and it sure as hell could be stupid, but it was ours.” You grab his hand harshly as you drag him to the other side of the tree. His eyes grow wide. I didn’t remember—I swear I forgot that was even there! You let out a wet laugh as you toss your hair over your shoulder. “You’re hurting me, Daniel. Can’t you see?”
“You’re the one who said I should cut it down. You can’t seriously just be blaming me.”
“And who came up with the idea first?”
He lowers his gaze as he runs his left hand against his clenched jaw. “I’m sorry.” He connects his desperate eyes to your glossy ones. “But don’t say all those things, please. You’re right. I’ve been an awful boyfriend, but no one understands me better than you.” Placing his hands on either side of your face, he lets out soft pants. “You’re everything to me, how could you have possibly felt that way? I love you.”
“Love me like what?” He furrows his brows as he searches for an answer. You scrunch your nose as you push his hands down. “I thought you loved me like crazy.” His stomach churns. “Listen, I love you, Daniel. I love you so fucking much, but even I can see that I’m not your happiness anymore. Not the way I used to be, at least. You have other priorities, other plans—”
“No, you’re my priority. You always have been.”
“Except I haven’t. For a moment, you went radio silent. It was a one-sided relationship, but I loved you so much that I stayed. I pushed past it. Then—one random day— your smile came back. You were insanely happy and I thought...” You shut your eyes. You can feel the salty tears trickle down your face. “I thought it was because of me. Now I realize, it hasn’t been about me for a while now. It’s so obvious that the only reason you were cheerful once again was because you got what you wanted. You got a seat.”
“You’re wrong—"
“I’m not.” You let out a shaky breath as you bite down on your lip, a weak attempt to not let out loud sobs. “I would have gladly taken part in your pain, but you never let me in. You never let me get close enough to help you out.” Making your way up to him slowly, you tippy toe as you lean in for a kiss. What hurts the most is that all of a sudden—he’s kissing you the exact same way he did when he first told you that he loved you. He was giving it his all. Pulling away, you let out a low whimper as you feel your chin tremble. Your smile wobbles. “Can’t force something that’s not there anymore, can you?”
Taking him in one last time, you rub his forearm as you gently pat it before you walk away. Daniel feels paralyzed as he watches you go. He’s expecting you to turn around at least one last time and he’s expecting his body to let him run after you, but neither of those things happen.
Hesitantly, Chloe and Scotty make their way to their frozen friend. They had heard the fight, but decided it was best to not intervene.
“She left.”
The couple share a concerned look as they take in the weak tree that was clearly about to fall at any moment. Chloe sighs, then walks away, making a beeline to find you. Though, she knows you better than anyone. You weren’t going to return. And she completely understood why.
Scotty takes a step back and shakes his head in disbelief.
“She fucking loved that tree.”

part one | part two | part three | part four | part five
You paced around your room, phone pressed to your ear as your friend tried very hard not to laugh at your situation.
"So let me get this straight," they said, their tone already way too smug for your liking. "You overheard Oscar telling Lando that he doesn’t know if something is happening between you two, and now you’re spiraling?"
"I'm not spiraling," you said, stopping mid-step. "I just—Why did I even care what he said? I don’t like him. He doesn’t like me. We’re just… tolerating each other at this point."
Your friend hummed in a way that made it very clear they did not believe you. "Uh-huh. And tell me, when he said he doesn’t know if he feels something, what did you want him to say?"
You opened your mouth, but nothing came out.
That stupid sinking feeling was still sitting in your stomach, the same one that had hit you the moment Oscar didn’t say he felt something. Because, for some reason, you had wanted him to.
You groaned. "I hate this."
"You hate realizing you have a thing for your roommate?"
"He's not—" You paused. "Oh, my God. I don’t have a thing for him."
Your friend snorted. "Right. You just spent the last fifteen minutes freaking out over nothing."
You flopped onto your bed, staring at the ceiling. "I’m not freaking out. I just… Maybe I got used to him being around."
"Uh-huh."
"And maybe it’s kinda nice that we get along now."
"Mhmm."
"And maybe—maybe—it was kinda shitty to hear him sound so unsure about me when I was kinda sure about him."
There was a pause.
Then, finally, your friend said, "Babe, you’re so screwed."
You groaned, rolling onto your stomach. "I know."
You did your best to shake off the whole feelings crisis after that, but something about it still lingered in the background. You weren’t weird around Oscar, but you definitely weren’t normal either.
And it didn’t help that he was completely unbothered. He went about life as usual—making coffee for two without a word, leaving his gym bag in the hallway, making sarcastic remarks at you over dinner. You had convinced yourself that nothing had changed, even though it absolutely had.
The only real difference was that now, you were hyperaware of him.
The way he smelled when he came home after a workout. The way he concentrated when playing some mindless game on his phone. The way he leaned against the counter when talking, all relaxed and casual.
It was fine. It was fine.
Until it wasn’t.
Almost a month had passed since the roommate disaster began, and suddenly, Greg was back in your lives.
It started with an envelope on the counter, casually placed there like it wasn’t about to cause problems.
You stared at it, then at Oscar. "What’s this?"
He didn’t even look up from his phone. "Greg dropped it off while you were out."
You hesitated before picking it up and reading the note attached.
Greg had finally gotten your security deposits back.
Which meant you were no longer stuck in this apartment together.
Which meant if you wanted, you could leave.
Oscar looked up when you went quiet, glancing at the note in your hands. "Oh."
You blinked at him. "Yeah."
Neither of you said anything for a second.
Then, finally, you cleared your throat. "So, I guess this means we don’t have to keep sharing the place if we don’t want to."
Oscar nodded slowly. "Yeah."
Another pause.
Neither of you moved.
You shifted your weight from one foot to the other. "Do you… want to move out?"
Oscar’s gaze flickered to yours for just a second before he shrugged. "I don’t know. Do you?"
You didn’t answer right away.
You should have said yes. You should have said you were looking forward to getting your own space again, to not having to deal with the thermostat war or the way he left his shoes directly in front of your door.
But for some reason, you hesitated.
For some reason, you weren’t entirely sure.
"Guess we’ll figure it out," you said finally, setting the envelope back down on the counter.
"Yeah," Oscar said, his voice unreadable. "Guess we will."
The weirdness settled in after that.
Not bad weird. Just… weird.
You noticed how neither of you acknowledged the envelope again after that conversation. It sat on the counter for two days, untouched, like a silent reminder that things had to change but neither of you wanted to be the first to say it.
You still moved around each other in the apartment like normal, still bickered over stupid things, still stole his hoodies, still watched bad reality shows on the couch.
But it felt… different.
Like there was something else hanging in the air between you.
And Oscar noticed.
At first, he didn’t say anything, but you caught him watching you a little longer when you were talking, tilting his head slightly like he was trying to figure something out.
Then, one night, after dinner, he finally said something.
"You’ve been weird lately," he said, watching you over the rim of his water glass.
You nearly choked on your drink. "Excuse me?"
He set his glass down. "You heard me."
You frowned. "I have not been weird."
"You have," he countered, completely unfazed. "You’ve been acting… different. Quieter. Less annoying."
Your face deadpanned. "Less annoying?"
"Yeah." His lips twitched, like he was enjoying this. "Almost like you’ve been thinking too much. And not about how to sabotage my thermostat settings this time."
You scoffed, trying to act casual. "Maybe I just ran out of energy to deal with your deeply flawed way of living."
Oscar leaned back against the counter, arms crossed. "Maybe."
There was a pause.
Then he said, "Or maybe it’s about the deposit letter."
You immediately busied yourself with wiping an already clean spot on the counter. "Why would it be about that?"
Oscar didn’t answer right away. When you glanced up at him, he was watching you carefully.
"You tell me," he said simply.
You felt something in your stomach twist.
For a second, you thought about just admitting it. About saying I don’t know why I haven’t packed my bags yet. I don’t know why I don’t want to.
But you didn’t.
Instead, you forced a smirk, grabbed your cup, and turned toward your room.
"Well," you said over your shoulder, "if you think I’m being weird, you should’ve said something sooner."
Before he could respond, you disappeared into your room, closing the door behind you with a soft click.
You exhaled, leaning against it for a second.
What the hell were you doing?
It was just a lease. Just an apartment. Just a temporary situation that had somehow turned into something too comfortable.
You were supposed to leave.
You were supposed to want to leave.
But now, with the deposit in hand and the option finally there, the idea of not seeing Oscar every day, of not sharing space with him, of not arguing over the smallest things just for the fun of it…
It didn’t feel as easy as you thought it would.
And judging by the way Oscar had been watching you, you weren’t the only one feeling it.
You climbed into bed, forcing yourself to ignore the feeling.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow, you’d bring it up.
Maybe.
Or maybe you’d just wait for Oscar to do it first.

THE CHAMPAGNE WAS STILL STICKY when she found out.
She had spent the past hour celebrating—laughing, grinning until her cheeks ached, drinking in the sight of thousands of fans chanting her name. World Champion. The first female Formula 1 World Champion. The words tasted sweeter than the bubbly that had been poured over her head on the podium.
And then it all shattered.
She hadn’t even been looking for it. Her phone had been left abandoned in the motorhome while she basked in the euphoria of her win. It was only when she returned, still buzzing from the adrenaline, that she saw the messages. A handful of texts from a friend, a link, and a simple message that made her stomach turn cold.
I’m so sorry. You deserve better.
Curious, still lightheaded with joy, she clicked the link.
And there it was. Photos. A grainy shot of Nathan at a club in Monaco three months ago, another in Dubai during the summer break, then one just last week in Austin. Always with the same woman. A brunette with legs for days and a familiar smirk. Someone from the team, if she wasn’t mistaken.
Her throat closed up, fingers trembling as she scrolled, every image a knife to the gut. It wasn’t just a drunken mistake. It was calculated. Repeated. Lied about.
Nathan fucking Donovan. Her teammate. Her fiancé. The man she had trusted with her heart, her career, her future.
The sound of the paddock outside was muffled, drowned out by the rushing in her ears as she dropped her phone. For years, she had turned down every offer from Red Bull. They had been calling since her first podium, since her first win. They had wanted her, but she had always said no. Because of Nathan. Because she had wanted to win with him. Because they were a team, a partnership, a power couple.
She bit the inside of her cheek until she tasted blood.
She had been a fool.
By the time she lifted her head, the decision was made. She wiped her damp hands on her race suit and reached for her phone. The Mercedes crest on her chest suddenly felt suffocating, like a brand that no longer belonged to her.
Her fingers moved with a steadiness that surprised her as she typed out a message to her agent.
Call Red Bull. I’m ready to talk.
That was six months ago.
Now, she had her foot down on full throttle, fighting her teammate.
The roar of the Red Bull RB20’s engine vibrated through her bones as she flicked the car into the corner, tyres screaming as they clung to the edge of grip. Ahead of her, her teammate—Max Verstappen, two-time world champion and an arrogant bastard on his best days—held position, defending like his life depended on it.
It had been like this all season. A relentless, brutal fight for the title. They had the fastest car on the grid, Red Bull’s latest engineering marvel, but they weren’t teammates in any real sense of the word. No teamwork. No cooperation. Just war.
And she was winning.
Six months ago, she'd walked out of Mercedes with her head held high, ringless finger curled into a fist. The world had lost its mind. The media had spun its stories, her ex-fiancé—Nathan Donovan, lying, cheating, spineless piece of shit—had played the heartbroken victim, and the fans had taken sides. But she hadn’t cared then, and she didn’t care now.
Let them talk.
She’d spent years at Mercedes, loyal to a fault, standing by Nathan’s side because she’d thought they were a team, on and off the track. And he’d thrown it away. Lied to her face. Made a fool of her.
So, she’d made sure to humiliate him in return.
Signing with Red Bull had been the first strike. The second had been selling the place they lived in, after all it was in her name - not her problem that he had nowhere to live for two months.
Now, the third was coming—because with two races left in the season, she was leading the championship. And Nathan? A non-factor.
The thought made her press harder on the throttle. The car twitched under her, skimming the edge of disaster, but she held it steady. She was close. A tenth behind Verstappen, closing fast.
“Don’t do anything stupid,” her race engineer crackled through the radio.
She smirked.
Too late.
The gap was nothing now. Less than a tenth.
She was right on Max’s gearbox, weaving slightly in his mirrors, making sure he knew she was there. The car felt alive beneath her, the Red Bull’s aerodynamics biting into the tarmac, begging to be unleashed.
Final lap. Final sector.
Max was still defending, but she could see the cracks. He was too focused on keeping her behind, positioning his car to block, reacting rather than attacking. And that was his mistake.
She took the wider line into the penultimate corner, knowing he’d cover the inside. Then, in a move that was either genius or madness, she lifted off ever so slightly, making him think he’d done enough—before throwing everything into the exit.
Tyres screamed, her car twitched—then hooked. She got the drive she needed, rocketing past him just before the final turn.
Too late for him to do anything.
The chequered flag waved. She crossed the line first.
“YES!” Her own voice rang through the radio, pure adrenaline and triumph. “Fucking get in!”
Her engineer was shouting in her ear, the Red Bull garage was on their feet, and somewhere, she knew, Nathan was watching. Watching as she won. Watching as she proved, once again, that she was better than him.
The thought made the victory even sweeter.
She pulled up into parc fermé, hands shaking with the aftershock of adrenaline as she switched off the car. A second later, Max’s Red Bull rolled in beside her, stopping with just enough aggression to make his frustration clear.
She smirked.
Helmet still on, she climbed out, raising a fist to the cheering crowd before stepping onto the scales. Cameras flashed, capturing every second. She could already imagine the headlines.
She turned just as Max yanked off his helmet, dark blonde hair a mess, jaw clenched. He took one look at her, exhaled sharply through his nose, then muttered, “Fucking hell.”
She grinned. “That’s what you get for leaving the door open.”
His eyes narrowed. “That was not a door. That was a crack in the wall.”
She shrugged. “Still got through, didn’t I?”
Max let out a sharp breath, shaking his head, but there was something else in his expression. Not just frustration. Something almost… impressed.
He wouldn’t admit it. Wouldn’t give her the satisfaction. But she could see it, clear as day.
And the best part?
No matter how much of an arse he could be, she knew one thing for certain: he hated Nathan as much as she did.
banner-
The post-race press conference was the usual mix of adrenaline, exhaustion, and barely concealed hostility.
She sat in the middle, winner’s seat, hands wrapped around a bottle of water, pretending to listen as the moderator rattled off formalities. Max was to her left, arms crossed, jaw still set in frustration. Charles—third place finisher—was on her right, mostly just happy to be there.
The first few questions were routine. Race strategy, tyre management, overtaking opportunities. She answered smoothly, flashing the occasional smirk at Max whenever someone mentioned her overtake. Each time, his jaw tightened just a little more.
Then, inevitably, someone brought up Nathan.
A journalist from one of the more sensationalist outlets leaned forward, microphone in hand, voice dripping with feigned innocence.
“Amazing drive today, congratulations. Obviously, this is a huge result in the championship fight, but I have to ask—do you think your performance this season has been motivated at all by… personal matters? Specifically, your past relationship with Nathan Carter?”
The air in the room shifted.
She had heard a lot of bullshit in these pressers, but this? This was almost impressive in how blatant it was.
She opened her mouth, already crafting the sharpest, most dismissive response possible—
But Max got there first.
He leaned forward, elbow on the table, voice dripping with casual disdain.
“Yeah, mate, I’m sure she’s leading the championship because of her ex. Not because she’s fucking fast or anything.” He raised a brow. “You want to ask me if my performance is motivated by my tragic breakup in 2022? Or is this just reserved for women?”
Silence.
The journalist blinked, momentarily stunned. Then stammered, “I—I was just—”
Max tilted his head. “Just what?”
She bit the inside of her cheek, fighting back a smirk.
The moderator swiftly cut in, moving things along, but the damage was done. The clip would be everywhere within the hour, and Max knew it. He settled back in his chair, arms crossed once again, looking completely unbothered.
She glanced at him, just briefly.
Still not friends. But maybe, just maybe, a little less like enemies.
After the press conference, she barely made it two steps out the door before Max fell into step beside her.
“You’re welcome, by the way,” he said, casually twisting the cap off his water bottle.
She snorted. “For what?”
He gave her a pointed look. “For shutting down that absolute cunt before you could say something that’d get you fined.”
“I don’t need you to fight my battles.”
“Clearly.” He took a sip of water. “But I like watching them.”
She rolled her eyes but didn’t argue. She wasn’t about to admit it, but watching that journalist’s face crumble had been the highlight of her day—besides the win, obviously. And Max had delivered it with all the effortless arrogance of a man who lived to piss people off.
They reached their driver rooms, the doors right next to each other. She pushed hers open, stepping into the quiet, adrenaline still thrumming in her veins. Her suit was damp with sweat, her body still buzzing from the intensity of the race, but it was a good feeling. A victorious one.
She had just pulled her race suit down to her waist, reaching for a towel, when she heard a door open behind her.
Not hers.
Max’s, probably—except the footsteps that followed weren’t his.
A slow, deliberate clap echoed through the room.
“Well done. You’ve really outdone yourself this time.”
Her entire body went rigid.
She turned.
Nathan stood in the doorway, arms crossed, face carefully neutral—but his eyes gave him away. Cold. Calculating.
She exhaled sharply through her nose. “What the fuck do you want?”
Nathan stepped inside, letting the door click shut behind him. “You need to cut the shit.”
She laughed, crossing her arms. “You’re gonna have to be a bit more specific, mate.”
His jaw tightened. “The comments. The narrative you’re letting people run with. It’s damaging my reputation.”
“Your reputation?” She arched a brow. “Pretty sure you did that yourself when you stuck your dick where it didn’t belong.”
His expression flickered, just for a second, before the mask slipped back into place.
“I’m serious,” he said, stepping closer. “I have lawyers. You keep dragging my name through the mud, and I’ll make sure it costs you.”
She tilted her head. “Is that a threat?”
He shrugged. “A warning.”
She scoffed, turning away, but he kept going.
“I mean it,” Nathan said, voice dropping lower. “This little act of yours—playing the scorned woman, running off to Red Bull like a child—it's pathetic. You think people actually respect you? They’re laughing at you.”
She clenched her jaw, forcing herself to stay calm.
“Must be humiliating,” he continued, almost conversationally. “Knowing you were just something to pass the time. A placeholder.”
Her fingers curled into fists.
Then he said it.
“Fucking whore.”
The door slammed open so hard it bounced off the wall.
Nathan barely had time to react before he was shoved backwards, his back hitting the wall with a dull thud. A forearm pressed hard against his throat, holding him in place.
Max.
His entire body was tense, his usually sharp, arrogant expression now twisted into something far more dangerous.
Nathan made a strangled noise, trying to push him off. “What the—”
“Say that again,” Max said, voice low, lethal.
Nathan swallowed, his eyes flicking to her.
Max pressed harder. “Go on. I fucking dare you.”
Silence.
Nathan was many things—arrogant, selfish, manipulative—but he wasn’t stupid.
Max held him there for a moment longer, just to make a point, then finally let go, stepping back like Nathan wasn’t even worth the energy.
Nathan straightened his shirt, swallowing whatever insult he’d been about to throw. His eyes flicked between them, then he scoffed. “You two deserve each other.”
Then he turned and walked out.
The second the door shut, the room was quiet again.
Max exhaled sharply, rolling his shoulders like he was shaking off the tension. “Fucking hell.”
She blinked at him, still processing what just happened. “You didn’t have to do that.”
He turned to her, dark eyes unreadable. “Yeah, I did.”
And then, just like that, he walked out, leaving her standing there, pulse racing, wondering what the hell just happened.

pairing : daniel ricciardo x childhood friend-brabham!reader ; f1 grid x reader (platonic)
summary : you call for help, and max is the first person that comes to your mind. and to say that max is baffled is an understatement.
warning : unedited, harsh words, maybe ooc driver?, and bad grammars.
a/n : i am girl-bossing through exam today, and i decided to write this as a reward. i also listen to asmr roleplay by gibi asmr and moonlight cottage asmr while writing this and its good KSJNSKDJNAKD SORRY-
max was in the middle of doing his daily exercise when his phone suddenly rang. he press the slow down button on his treadmill as he simply answer the call from his earbud.
"good morning to you, ice princess." he happily answer, still walking on his treadmill.
"max, I think I made a big mistake."
hearing your soft whimper he stop the machine.
"y/n, what's wrong?"
"i kiss daniel."
"what?!"
"i kiss him, max. we kissed."
max had to hold himself as he listen to you, leaning his body on the railing of his treadmill. his lips are sealed in thin line, trying to think of a reaction.
he is conflicted about this; in one hand he want to cheer on daniel for finally man up and make a move. on the other hand, you sounds so scared and he understand that this whole territory is foreign to you. so he just keep his mouth sealed.
"max, say something!"
"i–uhh–i don't know, y/n. it was just a kiss right? is it a bad thing?" he answer.
max decided that he is done with workout, so he got off from the treadmill taking his phone with him as he grab a towel. he glance at the clock on the wall. its 5:34 and he wonder why you already wake up this early.
"wait, where are you right now and why you up this early y/n?"
"i'm.. i dunno where i am right now. i was heading back to szeged from budapest but i just stop, i'm not even in highway right now. i dunno where i am, and i need a breather."
"god, okay calm down. are you alone?"
"yes."
"shit, y/n. send me your location so i can check on you. and also, how did you end up in budapest? what happen?"
and after 45 minutes of you rambling in your car, on the side of the road, in the middle of god knows where, you finish your story.
"- and that is how i end up in this shit. just lost me ol' cobber for doing something stupid." you said, a little aussie side of you were showing.
*cobber = a very good friend
max just open his mouth in disbelief or in silence? either way he don't know what to do. yes what you and daniel did are stupid, but from his perspective this is a long-awaited miracle. finally daniel grew a pear and you being smart. but damn, that was something.
"that's it max, i'm gonna fly my ass back to straya before daniel catch me in my house. i'm running away, maybe move to-i dunno-alaska?" you said.
*straya = australia
"what? y/n, don't do that! you guys had just reconcile, now you want to run away?" max answered as he walk back to his room, straight to his computer as he open discord.
"well so much for reconciliation! i fucked up!"
he open discord from his phone and quickly type 'sos' to the discord server that he had made few months ago, back when the party-planning were made. lando had call themself 'project y/niel' and there are few drivers there that willing to help daniel and you; lewis, lando, charles, carlos (surprisingly), george, and lastly alex.
"maxie, wil je dat ik met dit ga doen?" maxie, what should i do with this?
"y/n, je zult toch tot kalmte moeten komen, en de enige manier omdat te doen is door te ademen. okay?" y/n, you have to calm down and the only way you're going to do that is to breathe. okay?
"okay."
"alright here's what i want you to do, you're gonna go back to your place and sleep. its almost 7 now, like it or not you will have to sleep. i'll deal with daniel so you don't have to worry." he command you, biting his lower lips as he wait for any reaction on the discord server.
"alright then, i'm gonna drive home first. talk to you later max."
"take care y/n. don't do anything stupid."
"will do maxie."

max let out a heavy sigh as he watch his phone lit up with daniel's name. he brace his body on the counter top as he answer the call. he will have to give lando an earful later.
"hello danny."
"max, i know you know where y/n is. please let me know where she is–or just tell her to answer her phone!"
"daniel, calm down."
max massaging his throbbing temple as he walk to the fridge, taking a bottle of water before opening it.
"max i kiss her! i–she–i can't help it! and now she's freaking out i–"
"mate you're also freaking out, calm down."
"god i am such a loser..."
he took a chug of the water, emptying the bottle in no time. he chuck the bottle on to the trash bin before reacting to the sad daniel.
"yeah, you are. but it already happen, so you need to calm down."
"what should i do?"
"i'll talk to her dan, don't worry. for now, she need a space okay? and you need to go home. or sleep. either way i need you to calm down."
"all things aside, i am not regretting this. now that i know what i've been missing, i need her okay? she–god she is going to be the death of me max."
"god, you are such a loser. i'm ending the call."
before daniel even react to that, max already ending the call–shaking his head as he let out a tired sigh. he walk towards his patio as he scrolling through his contact before making another call.
"hello? anna? yes, this is max verstappen. i got your number from y/n. hey listen, i need your help with something."
