    Summary

    Max is a sink or swim story.

    Checo takes a dive.

     

    Or, Checo is a surf instructor that doesn’t usually work with adults, but he cannot reject a certain request from a stranger, who introduces himself as Max Verstappen, a Formula One World Champion.

    Set in the summer break of 2025.

    Summary

    5 times Max is jealous and Checo gets it all wrong, and 1 time the Mexican finally understands what's going on with the driver.

    It also helps that Max's jealousy becomes progressively more ridiculous.

    Summary

    Sergio is too old for this shit.

    And Isack won't kill Max, if only so Sergio will get the chance to kill him first for running away and leaving him to deal with actually cleaning Kryptonian dog shit.

    Really, why did Max have to go away to deal with his feelings? Sergio has been repressing them for years, and he's totally fine (shut up, Pato).

    Whatever, at least the dog tilts its head like how Max did when he didn't understand what Sergio was talking about and-

    Holy shit.

    Summary

    Checo Pérez is a busy, divorced dad who barely has time to attend his son’s school football tournament—but when Sergio Jr. begs him to come, he can’t say no. What he doesn’t expect is to meet Max Verstappen, the kids' Dutch ex-pro coach who barely speaks Spanish but somehow has them wrapped around his finger.

    The other parents think Max is great. Checo, however… well, he has notes.

    What starts as a heated argument over tactics quickly spirals into a full-on international football debate (No era penal! Era penal!), stubborn bickering, and—somehow—an accidental dinner date.

    It’s probably a bad idea.
    It’s definitely going to end in trouble.
    And yet, Checo can’t seem to stop looking at Max’s annoyingly perfect smile.

    (Meanwhile, the kids are convinced it’s a love story straight out of a Disney movie.)

    Summary

    F1 organises an elaborate hide and seek game with the 2026 grid. Twenty drivers hiding, two drivers seeking. The prize for finding the most drivers and for being the best hidden is the same: Two passes to skip all media duties on two weekends on the winners’ choosing.

    Max thinks the whole thing is stupid and childish, but he is going to get those passes whatever happens, even if he has to encroach on Checo’s hiding spot to avoid being caught.

    Checo, who had planned to take a nap in a crate during the whole thing, would like it if Max got off of him.

    Or would he?
