Two people raised by legacy and pressure, mistaking each other for the enemy, until they realize they're the only ones who truly understand it. The Ferrari name was never just a surname. It was an inheritance, a responsibility, and at times, a burden to Isabella. Max had been raised by pressure, shaped by a father who believed greatness required fear.

It's about the man brave enough to push it beyond reason." - Piero Ferrari "Change so things can stay the same." - Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, The Leopard

They grew up together. Fell in love like it was inevitable. And lost each other in a way neither of them saw coming... Now, years later, they're back in the same place...same city, same memories, same everything. Except this time, they're strangers. And some memories...never really leave, no matter how hard you try to forget them. ❝𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘰.

"You vanished for 10 years not even a fucking PI could find you Anastasia, and now you come back to what? Get under my skin?" ~~~~~ What happens when two people who seemingly hate each others guts meet again after 10 years, and become....teammates? Will old flames burn them again? What happens when all the secrets come to light? ~~~~~ "They hate each other so much I think they might set a fire to the whole paddock" "That's the thing, I don't think they actually do." "What do you mean?" "Have you seen how they look at one another? Even your grandmother's historic blind chihuahua would see that." "Charles, keep Betsy out of this." "I hate that fucking dog." ~~~~~ -enemies to lovers -obsession Max Verstappen x fem!oc

Oscar is focused on one thing...becoming a better driver. Love isn't even on his radar, while he's left third wheeling his way through the paddock, until a spilled iced coffee and an awkward encounter with Juliette Wolff changes everything. Juliette knows better than to get involved with a driver, especially one racing for a rival team. But Oscar is nothing like the rest. He's sweet, a little awkward, and surprisingly easy to talk to. What starts as teasing and late night texts slowly turns into something neither of them were ready for. But with team politics and media pressure, falling for each other might be the most reckless move of all... ✨ Same timeline/universe [set during/after] Fo(u)r The Better ✨
