Summary
Max Verstappen, a multi-time world champion, shocks the racing world by announcing his retirement. Charles Leclerc is furious, storming into Max’s home demanding answers.
“What happened to racing together for the next 15-20 years?!” Charles doesn’t even know why he's so upset—he only knows something feels wrong. Max, a little perplexed but calm as ever, simply offers, “Drive for Red Bull.”
Charles is stunned, the anger momentarily forgotten. “I don’t want to race for Red Bull if you’re not there.”
Max’s response? A cryptic, “Who says I wouldn’t be?”
Completely thrown off, Charles snaps, “You’re confusing me, mate!”
Max’s grin widens. “You want to win, right?”
Charles scowls. “Yes, but with Ferrari—and against you.”
Max shrugs. “That’s not gonna happen. Even Lewis couldn’t get his 8th in a Ferrari. But you could win with me.”
“Stop talking in riddles, Max!”
Max steps closer, lowering his voice. “Race for Red Bull, and I’ll be your engineer.”
Now it’s Charles who’s speechless.

Summary
Max has a problem.
And that problem is Charles Leclerc. Sweet, sunny, casually-touchy, infuriatingly pretty Charles Leclerc. They’re best friends and while Max is painfully in love, Charles is painfully oblivious. They study together. They drink too much coffee. Charles touches his hands and Max forgets how to breathe.
It’s all very normal. It’s fine. Max is fine. (He’s not.)
Or, how to survive having your crush wear your hoodie — a study by Max Verstappen.

Summary
Max Verstappen is a lot of things: fast, focused, ferocious. But feelings? Feelings have always been trickier.
So he does what any emotionally constipated thirteen year old would do: he starts a list.
And The List grows. Through karting, into Formula 1, across podiums and seasons and stolen glances. A hundred quiet observations of the boy who glows brighter than Monaco in July.
It’s just for Max. No one ever has to know.
Until Charles finds it.
Or, a decades-long pining spiral, Oscar Piastri as the hero of the story, and the quiet ache of being known—truly, entirely—by the person who matters most.

Summary
Looking back, Max was doomed from the start.
Carlos is his friend. His best friend, actually, ever since they met the first day of school after Max moved to town with his family, and everyone was chatting and catching up with people they probably knew since elementary school, leaving Max alone in a corner pretending to read his book so the others couldn't see how nervous he was.
He still remembers, like it was yesterday, how a boy with tan skin, perfect dark hair and a wicked smile had emphatically pushed down his copy of Chronicles of Narnia to see his face. Max's first instinct was to panic, thinking he was gonna be picked on or something. Instead, the boy —Carlos Sainz, he found out later— said a cheerful "Oye!, I love that book! I've been wanting to chat about it with someone for ages but no one's read it. Except Susan, but I think she has a crush on me so that's why she read it in the first place, and I don't think she even liked it, so nah, no, gracias."--
or the one where Max and Carlos are friends, Max is in love with him, and he's afraid to say something, so it is a bumpy, messy ride.Bookmarked by xcvsur
