DEDICATIONS & DISCLAIMERS...

001. this fic is all from my head. every plot point is originated from my brain and idk how these racers act irl so those characteristics are also somewhat my own !!!

002. please don't steal my plot ! i understand if you get inspired, but please don't take all of my work and ideas. this fic took me more than a month to fully plan out and start writing and it would rly suck to see someone take it all with no credit or anything

003. i am a rising high school senior! i am busy with college application preparations and other committments over the summer and wattpad is far from my biggest priority. i write when i have the time and if i have people constantly begging for updates, i'll just take down the whole book bc i'm petty. 

004. i am fairly new to the formula 1 community. my first race was the miami gp, but i've been learning a lot about the sport in my own time since then. i am always open to learning more about f1 and if i happen to get some facts wrong, just let me know politely so i can fix it!

005. this is my first fic about actual adults (like 20+). i'll try my best not to make them act like teenagers & although there will be ZERO smut, there will be some mature references such as hooking up, making out, implied sex, etc. there will be mentions of drinking, smoking weed, and partying. also mentions of anxiety, excessive use of swear words, and also some sexual jokes & flirting. if that's not for you, i kindly suggest you click off this fic :)

006. this fic is dedicated to my wonderful slack catchers @icedpiastri and @-potterswitch, who malaika & layla are also named after! thank u guys for the endless support on this fic, even when i lost all motivation & gained it back a week later, rewriting the whole first chapter. this is for u!

" you taught me a secret language 
i can't speak with anyone else "

maha speaks :)

this fic is inspired by my true experience of getting into f1 & falling in love with lando norris as first sight!!!!
