Summary
For Oscar, it wasn’t about proving everyone wrong. It wasn’t about giving McLaren the middle finger that all of Australia craved him to give his own team. It wasn’t even about making Lando sweat.
Oscar had only one goal for the 2026 season and that was finding the excitement and love for racing again. He wanted to enjoy the butterflies. Enjoy being naive. Enjoy the nerves, the pressure, the people not knowing your name. All that stuff.
But lingering looks from his teammate and the suffocating noise around his longevity at McLaren weren’t helping.
Because Oscar had a problem.
He didn’t want to get into the car. He didn’t want to drive. Actually, he was terrified of it.
Or:
An imagining of Oscar’s inner life through the 2026 season, (hopefully) regaining his confidence to fight for the championship while struggling to recover from the season he just lost to his teammate he has unresolved feelings for.

Summary
Max Verstappen says the 2026 cars feel like “Formula E on steroids” and the paddock does what it does best: overreact.
Lando Norris jokes “If he hates it that much, he can just retire.”
George Russell is more composed. “If Max doesn’t enjoy the direction of the sport, he’s achieved everything. He can retire. Or go drive the Nürburgring for fun.”
The quotes go viral.
Then Red Bull Racing releases a statement that detonates Formula 1.
Max Verstappen is retiring. Team principal Laurent Mekies cites “personal reasons.”
Max disappears.
The paddock spirals. Lando insists it was a joke. George calls and gets silence. The internet invents conspiracy theories.
The truth is far more inconvenient.
Two months earlier, after too much Gin and Tonics and an argument that turned into flirting, Max and George made one reckless decision they agreed never to discuss again.
Except biology disagreed.
Now Max is very, very pregnant.
Retirement suddenly makes sense.
Hiding from the press is easy. Hiding from the father is harder.
And somewhere in the paddock, Lando Norris is still wondering if this is technically his fault.

Watch Max's internal voice evolve from defensive snark to reluctant vulnerability, while Charles learns exactly how to handle his beautiful, impossible omega.Nine standalone stories exploring the same dynamic: how a bratty omega and his endlessly patient alpha navigate love, racing, and the messy reality of being bonded to your biggest rival.

Summary
The bitter realisation made Max chuckle. That's right, he is not with them. Because he is a loser. Dwelling on a love that never reciprocated properly. Dying for a man that played him like a guitar. Just like his dad did. Max was always controlled by people his entire life. From childhood to teenage his dad and from teenage to the big age of 26 by ‘Him’.
And he will still wait for him, die for him. Because losers like Max don't deserve anything better. His dad was right once again. Jos Verstappen has always been right.
Max Verstappen is a doll. Pretty on the outside, broken and woven on the inside. Used and discarded by people because he only deserves that.

Summary
For a brief moment, max feels like he’s flying. His mind is as calm as it is when he sends his car down a long straight, throttle pushed flat out. But then in his mind, he is breaking hard going into the chicane of realizing the implications of what he is doing, now that the elation of having said something has worn off.
He is going to be the first gay driver in formula one.

Aka Max comes out as gay and makes his crush on Charles everyone else's problem
