♯SYNOPSIS!

౨ৎ ⋆｡˚ evangeline millicent blanchard was a name that almost every driver knew. whether from her debut in F1 racing for sauber in 2017 as well as her three consecutive years at mercedes or just because she was the only female driver during her four years on the grid, evangeline was a very well-known driver. evangeline was surrounded by racing paddocks from a very young age due to her childhood best friend who encouraged her to try go-karting with him. since her karting days, evangeline had always loved the feeling of racing — that was until the 2021, British Grand Prix.

౨ৎ ⋆｡˚ charles marc hervé percival leclerc was another well-known driver on the grid. beginning his F1 journey in 2018, following in the footsteps of his best friend — evie. charles soon began racing for scuderia ferrari, and not long after was referred to as the 'prince of ferrari' and the 'prince of monaco'. it was known that the monagasque was not royalty in his country, however his determination and fame granted him the title of royalty.

౨ৎ ⋆｡˚ charles and evangeline raced against each other from 2018 through to 2021, yet their friendship never seemed to be affected by their determination in the paddock. during the British Grand Prix in 2021, evangeline's heartbeat quickened as she noticed how close to the podium position she was, but things changed in the blink of an eye as charles attempted a risky overtake and misjudged the distance. the ferrari car clipped against the mercedes' sending evangeline careering off the course at breakneck speed. the mercedes princess thrashed against the barriers, her body whipped around in the cockpit, and her vision blurred. and in that harrowing moment, the dream of racing glory shattered like glass, leaving her broken and battered on the unforgiving asphalt of the silverstone circuit.

IN WHICH, two childhood best friends turn
into regretful and resentful adults.
but can her return to the pit lane change
regret and resentment?

so it may not be true - if you're reading this after the GP - but i'm
still manifesting that what i wrote for the monte carlo race comes true
