Summary
At nineteen, Oscar Piastri finds himself always waiting, for a chance, for a seat, for someone to see him. Two years in formula one's reserve shadow has left him questioning if he belongs at all. Every smile feels forced, every test session a reminder that he's replaceable.
Then he meets Lando Norris. McLaren's four time World Driver's Champion, brilliant, reckless and nine years older. Lando's used to winning. Used to being the one people chase. But when he mistakes Oscar for a fan during a paddock signing, something about the quiet resignation in Oscar's eyes lodges under his skin and refuses to leave.

Summary
Lando was late again, by exactly one minute.
Oscar glanced at his watch, then at him. “Late. We start tomorrow.”
That set Lando off immediately. He hissed under his breath, furious, but careful not to shout inside the library.
“By a fucking minute?!”
“Irresponsible,” Oscar said flatly, as if Lando’s outburst barely registered.
Or, Lando Norris, a fourth-year business management student and captain of the university’s soccer team, is one failure away from being benched, which could also jeopardize his graduation. Oscar Piastri, on the other hand, is a third-year medical student, top of his class, a certified nerd, and brilliant enough to tutor. A university scholar that tutors for the money.
Oscar is Lando’s tutor. Lando, used to getting away with everything, money, a stellar reputation, a name that opens doors, has never had to struggle to stay on top. Oscar despises people like him. He hates that someone can coast through life on charm and wealth while others, like him, have to work relentlessly for every scrap of success. Lando embodies everything Oscar loathes.

Summary
“Look, I don’t even know the guy. Oscar Piastri, right? That’s his name?” He shook his head, scoffing. “Not my type at all. I don’t go for…..Boring. And he looks like the type who’d rather talk about cars than.... Well, literally anything else.”
The interviewer laughed nervously, sensing the bite. But Lando grinned, satisfied, reckless in how he let the words slip. The quote spread like wildfire. Headlines ate it up.
“Lando Norris Laughs Off Dating Rumors With F1’s Oscar Piastri: ‘Not My Type At All’.”
Or, Lando, a globally recognized pop star managing the intense demands of his career, and Oscar, a Formula One driver currently dominating the World Driver's Championship, both desperately needed a week's break. Coincidentally, they both chose the same secluded location for their much-needed break from the spotlight.
Even though neither man had actually seen or interacted with the other during their overlapping vacation, the simple fact of their shared location quickly triggered immediate and widespread speculation. The media and fans soon fabricated a rumored relationship between the pop star and the formula one driver.

Summary
Lando Norris, internationally famous rockstar, has three main priorities: drugs, avoiding eye contact, and pretending emotions don't exist.
To most, he's just flippant; a hot, young thing with messy habits. So what if he washes down breakfast with a shot of vodka? He's a rockstar, it practically comes with the territory of being too young and too famous.
But the reality of it is a lot more destructive.
Enter Oscar Piastri. Engineering student. Polite and boring to a fault. Really, he's nothing interesting.
Except, after one too many nights taken too far, Lando's manager hires Oscar as his chaperone.
Lando hates him immediately.
As the band's tour drags on, as the looming threat of FIA's album deadline becomes ever the more pressing, as Oscar gets dragged deeper into a strange world of glitz and grime, Lando begins to think that things might finally turn out fine.
Except things are never, ever fine with him.

Summary
Oscar arrives in North London with nothing and no one. A broken past, a pull-out mattress, and a name that gets him in more trouble than it’s worth.
He wasn’t supposed to stay. He wasn’t supposed to race. And he definitely wasn’t supposed to fall for the boy who sees everything but never lets anyone in.
But the streets don’t care what you’re supposed to do. And neither does Lando.- Language:
