The paddock had a rhythm to it.
It always had.
Engines roaring in the distance, mechanics moving like clockwork, journalists hovering for quotes, and somewhere in the middle of it all—Y/N Verstappen, the unofficial heart of it.
Nobody really knew when it started.
Maybe it was when she was little, trailing behind Max with oversized headphones and wide eyes. Or maybe it was when she grew into someone who could walk into any garage, any hospitality unit, and instantly lift the mood without even trying.
She wasn’t just Max’s little sister.
She was everyone’s little sister.
The paddock princess.
—
“Y/N! My favourite little sister!” Daniel called, arms open dramatically as she walked past the Red Bull garage.
She didn’t even hesitate—just laughed and ran into his hug. “You say that every weekend,” she teased.
“And every weekend I mean it more.”
A few meters away, Max watched, arms crossed, expression neutral.
Protective.
Always protective.
“She’s fine,” someone muttered beside him.
Max didn’t even look. “I know she’s fine. That doesn’t mean I trust you lot.”
What Max didn’t know—what no one knew, at least at first—was that Y/N wasn’t as unattached as she seemed.
Not even close.
Because across the paddock, pretending to be very interested in his phone, stood Kimi.
And if you were paying attention—really paying attention—you’d notice how his eyes flicked up every few seconds.
Always landing on her. Always softening.
Keeping it a secret had been easy at first.
Too easy.
Because no one expected it.
Y/N was off-limits.
Untouchable in a way—not because she wasn’t approachable, but because of Max.
Max didn’t like the idea of her dating.
At all.
Especially not someone in the paddock. Especially not a driver.
“Distraction,” he’d called it once. “Dangerous.”
Y/N had just rolled her eyes. “Relax, Max. I’m not planning on falling in love in the paddock.”
Kimi, sitting two seats away, had nearly choked on his drink.
But secrets never stay secrets for long.
Especially not in a place like this.
The first hints were small.
So small they almost went unnoticed.
A shared look a second too long. A hand brushing briefly as they passed each other. Kimi showing up in places he didn’t need to be—Red Bull hospitality, media zones, even the café where Y/N liked to sit between sessions.
“Funny how he’s always here when you are,” Oscar muttered one afternoon.
Y/N didn’t even flinch. “Maybe he just likes good coffee.”
“Or maybe he likes you.”
She smiled sweetly. “Don’t be ridiculous.”
Across the table, Lando raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
—
The WAGS noticed.
They always did.
It was during a quiet moment in the hospitality suite when Lily leaned closer to Carmen and whispered,“Tell me I’m not imagining this.”
“You’re not,” Carmen replied instantly.
Both of them glanced toward the corner, where Y/N was laughing, head tilted toward Kimi, who was listening like she was the only person in the room.
Alex followed their gaze.“Oh,” she said softly.
“Yeah,” Lily nodded.
“Since when?” Alex asked.
“Long enough,” Carmen said, smiling slightly.
“And we’re not telling anyone?” she asked.
“Absolutely not.”
“Why?”
Carmen’s grin widened. “Because watching the drivers figure it out is going to be way more entertaining.”
And she was right.
The clues started stacking.
Kimi’s phone lock screen—caught briefly on camera—was a blurry photo of someone laughing.
Fans speculated.
The paddock ignored it.
But the WAGS?
They knew.
Y/N’s Instagram became another layer of chaos.
Nothing obvious.
Never obvious.
Just… hints.

“Is that…?” Charles started one day, squinting at his phone.
“No idea,” Carlos shrugged, though his smile said otherwise.
Meanwhile, Max remained blissfully unaware. Mostly because—
“Y/N, you’re staying in my sight this weekend,” he said firmly.
She groaned. “Max, I’m not five.”
“No, but you’re still my responsibility.”
“I’m literally an adult.”
“And I’m still your brother.”
Kimi, standing a few feet away, looked like he wanted to disappear into the floor.
The first driver to really suspect something was George.
It happened during a random Thursday media day.
Y/N walked past, waving at a group of drivers.“Hey, guys!”
Kimi didn’t just wave back.
He lit up.
It was subtle—but not invisible.George frowned slightly.“…Okay.”
“What?” Lando asked.
George shook his head. “Nothing.”
But it wasn’t nothing.
—
Then came the almost-slip.
It was late. Most of the paddock had cleared out. Only a few people lingered.
Kimi and Y/N sat side by side on a bench, talking quietly.
Too close.
Too comfortable.
“Can I—” Kimi started, reaching for her hand—
“Oi!”
They jumped apart instantly.
Daniel stood there, grinning. “Well, well."
Y/N crossed her arms. “What do you want?”
“Just checking why you two look like you’ve been caught committing a crime.”
“We haven’t,” she said quickly.
Daniel’s eyes flicked between them.
Then he smiled.
“Ohhh.”
“Don’t,” Y/N warned.
“I’m not saying anything,” he held his hands up. “Yet.”
The domino effect had begun.
One by one, the drivers started noticing.
Not at the same time.
Not in the same way.
But eventually…they all saw it.
The way Kimi always knew where Y/N was. The way she always found him in a crowd. The way their conversations felt… different.
More private. More them.
“Okay, I need confirmation,” Lando said one evening.
“About what?” Oscar asked, already knowing.
“Are they—?”
“Yes,” Oscar said simply.
“You knew?!”
“I had a suspicion.”
“And you didn’t tell me?!”
Oscar shrugged. “It was obvious.”
“It was not obvious!”
“It was.”
—
By the time Charles figured it out, it wasn’t even a question.
He just watched them for a few minutes. Then nodded. “…Right.”
Carlos leaned over. “You too?”
“Yes.”
“Everyone knows now, right?”
“Everyone except—”
They both looked toward Max.
“…him.”
Max was the final boss.
The one obstacle no one wanted to face.
The reveal wasn’t dramatic. Not really.
It was quiet. Accidental. Inevitable.
Max had gone looking for Y/N.
She wasn’t in hospitality.
Not in the garage.
Not with the WAGS.
So he checked the quieter areas of the paddock.
And that’s when he saw them.
Not doing anything outrageous.
Not even close.
Just sitting together. Close enough that it meant something. Talking in low voices. Smiling in a way that felt… different.
Max stopped walking.
Watched.
Listened.
And then—Y/N reached over and gently fixed something on Kimi’s collar.
A small, absent gesture. But intimate.
Familiar.
Real.
Max exhaled slowly. “…Right.”
They didn’t notice him at first.Which somehow made it worse.
Because it meant they weren’t hiding in that moment. They were just… being.
Together.
When Y/N finally looked up and saw him—Everything froze.“…Max."
Kimi went pale.
Max walked over slowly. Calm.
Too calm. “How long?”
Y/N swallowed. “Max—”
“How. Long.”
“…A few months..”
Silence.
Then—“…You’re kidding.”
“No.”
Max ran a hand through his hair. Looked at Kimi. Then back at her. Then—He sighed.
Not angry.
Not explosive.
Just… resigned.
“You hid this from me?”
Y/N stepped closer. “Because you would’ve reacted like this."
“I’m not reacting!”
“You’re doing the Max thing.”
“What ‘Max thing’?!” he snapped.
She crossed her arms. “The overprotective, slightly terrifying older brother thing.”
“…I am not terrifying.”
Kimi made a small noise.
Max turned to him.“…Don’t.”
The tension hung for a moment.
Then—Max shook his head. “Unbelievable.”
He started to walk away—
Then stopped. Turned back.
Pointed at Kimi.
“You. Come with me."
Kimi froze.
Y/N stepped forward. “Max—”
“It’s fine,” Kimi said quietly.
(It was not fine.)
The “big brother talk” was… intense.
Not loud. Not aggressive.
Just very, very direct.
“If you hurt her—”
“I won’t.”
“You say that now.”
“I mean it.”
Max studied him.
Long.
Carefully.
“You’re serious.”
“Yes.”
Another pause.
Then Max nodded slightly. “…Okay."
Kimi blinked. “Okay?”
“You mess this up, I will make your life hell.”
“…Fair.”
Max sighed. “…Take care of her.”
“I will.”
—
When they walked back, Y/N was pacing. “You’re alive,” she said immediately.
“Barely,” Kimi joked.
Max rolled his eyes. “Relax. I didn’t kill him.”
She looked between them. “…Are we good?”
Max shrugged. “I don’t love it.”
“Max—”
“But…” he sighed. “I trust you.”
She smiled softly and hugged him.
“That’s all I needed.”
The paddock found out about Max finding out within minutes.
“How is he not dead?” Lando whispered.
“I’m right here,” Kimi said.
“Still shocking.”
A week later—
They both decided it was time to soft launch.
Kimi posted first and Y/N followed soon after. The internet went feral.

User7 the most unexpected yet the best couple ever
CarmenMundt Can i call you Y/N Antonelli now? ↳KimiAntonelli YES ↳MaxVerstappen NO ↳Y/N_Verstappen ABSOLUTELY
But the paddock?
They just laughed.
“Only took them forever,” George said.
“Only took you forever,” Carmen corrected.
And just like that—
The secret wasn’t a secret anymore.
They didn’t change.
Not really.
Still soft. Still subtle.
Still them.
Just… no more hiding.
Max still watched.
Still protective.
Still Max.
But one evening, as he stood beside them, he nudged Kimi slightly. “You’re doing alright.”
Kimi smiled. “High praise.”
“Don’t get used to it.”
Y/N laughed at something an engineer said, her hand slipping seamlessly into Kimi’s.
And this time—No one had to pretend not to see.
