***Please see notes below for warnings and triggers***
Max Verstappen is faced with difficult decision over whether to publicly 'come out'. He also has to navigate his relationships with his fellow drivers including Charles Leclerc, his childhood rival and Lewis Hamilton, his boyhood crush. Could one of them be more to him than just an on track rival?
Obviously whilst the characters are based on real people this is purely a work of fiction. Races won't follow true life either and some of the team pairings aren't exactly up to date but key information is below.

Notes and Warnings:
There are some sensitive topics covered in this story in relation to homophobia. I have added TW to the start of any chapters people may want to avoid and you should be able to pick the story line back up if you want to avoid these.
In particular chapters 27 (An Austrian Nightmare) to chapter 30 Help me (part 2) contain distressing themes. TW have been included in the relevant chapters with more info. Just want to put a warning here so people are aware, please avoid if you find any of the issues triggering.
However, the information is never graphic but more implied.
There is also some smut - again always signposted at the start of chapter so you can avoid.
