Summary
Charlotte Fischer has spent years making sure no one in Formula One knows who she really is.
At Red Bull, she is simply Charlotte: Cambridge graduate, simulator engineer, owner of a deeply judgmental cat, and the woman responsible for making the team’s broken 2025 car model finally tell the truth.
She prefers it that way. No family name. No questions. No one looking at her like she is someone’s daughter, someone’s mistake, or someone’s failure to protect.
Max Verstappen notices her anyway.

Summary
Max Verstappen to Mercedes? The paddock is buzzing. The media’s in meltdown.
Dr. Anastasia “Ana” Wolff, Mercedes’ notoriously brilliant, emotionally unavailable lead systems engineer and Toto Wolff’s eldest daughter, is not handling it well. Because Max isn’t just a potential signing, he’s the man she’s been sleeping with in secret for nearly a decade.
And if the rumours are true, and Max Verstappen really is joining Mercedes, then Ana’s carefully compartmentalised world is about to explode.

Summary
The FIA sends 13 of their drivers to Pride in London - to brush up a little on their image and make the sport seem more tolerant and diverse. The drivers have clear instructions: behave, don’t do anything stupid and don’t, for the love of God, ruin your own image.
Dan is not so sure about that though - 13 drivers at Pride with hundreds of thousands of fans and alcohol?
It sounds like pure chaos and Dan is all here for it.

Summary
It’s been five years since then, and every day Charles wonders what happened. He’d asked all their mutual friends, and then he’d even tried just Max’s friends, and eventually he’d even decided to bother Sophie and Victoria, but nobody would tell him anything. Charles has thought of everything in that time: maybe Max was sick. Maybe his mother was sick. Maybe Red Bull had wanted something Max couldn’t give. Maybe Max had just decided he simply didn’t want to get in a car one more time.
Maybe he’d regretted what happened between them, and simply couldn’t look Charles in the eyes.
Without a single photo of Max in the last five years, Charles had even wondered, in his darkest, saddest moments, whether Max had died.
Now, standing in a patisserie, in a tiny rural town in France, Charles finally has his answer.
//
Charles has never been more lonely in his life. Then he stumbles upon Max and his daughter and he realises what he's been missing.
