running the opposite way | oscar piastri & lando norris

summary: he stopped showing up. she stopped waiting. a/n: i wrote this and it kinda ruined me😭

Oscar used to bring me flowers. Not big, showy bouquets—nothing that looked like it belonged in a film. Just a single flower, whichever one he found on his way to the hotel. Sometimes stolen from a garden in passing. He said it was his way of reminding me that I was always on his mind, even when his head was buried in telemetry and race strategies.

That was before the 2025 season.

Now he arrives in a rush. Sometimes not even that. He no longer smells of freshly cut grass or expensive shampoo, but of thirty minutes of sweat under the sun, surrounded by press and commitments. I watch him enter the hotel room without even glancing at me. His eyes glued to his phone, checking messages from the team, and when he finally looks at me, it’s like he’s seeing me through fogged glass.

“Hi,” he says, as if that were enough.

I reply in kind. We kiss, but there’s no warmth. Just routine. As if we’re clocking in to a relationship that used to burn like fire and now is just smoke. There’s a silent gap between us that no “I love you” has been able to bridge lately.

I sit across from him on the bed while he scrolls through his notes on the iPad. I’m right there, less than a metre away, and still it feels like we’re in different rooms. I make an effort:

“How did the simulator go today?”

He doesn’t look up.

“Good. I’m getting used to the tyre wear in Turn 3. Lando’s still quick through that section, but I think I can match him if we tweak pressures tomorrow.”

I nod, even if I don’t fully understand. I just want him to see me.

“Do you want me to come with you to the track tomorrow?”

“No need. It’ll be a heavy day,” he replies without much thought.

The worst part isn’t that he says no. The worst part is that it doesn’t matter to him whether I go or not.

The change wasn’t sudden. It crept in. Like the sea slowly pulling away from the shore. Like memorising the menu at your favourite restaurant and realising… you’re no longer surprised.

Oscar started spending more time in the garage, in meetings, in interviews. And I started being alone. In hotels we used to explore together, in hallways where he no longer reached for my hand. It’s not that he became cruel. Just… absent. And when you’re in love, absence hurts more than coldness.

I arrive at the paddock with him, arm in arm, like we used to when we were in sync—when we were a team, not just two people sharing space.

But this time, he doesn’t squeeze my hand. His grip is loose, distracted. I look ahead, at his focused face, at eyes that no longer light up when they see me, that no longer find comfort in my presence. The noise of mechanics, media, and fans surrounds us, but I feel like I’m walking alone, next to him like an invisible echo.

“Do you want a coffee?” I ask, trying to break the awkward silence as we cross the hospitality tent.

“No, thanks,” he replies, not lifting his eyes from his phone.

I sit next to him on a bench, watching his fingers dart across the screen. I offer a timid smile and say:

“You know I like seeing you focused… but I’d also like it if you looked at me from time to time.”

He sighs, puts down the phone, and glances sideways, like he’s deciding whether the conversation is worth it.

“There’s just so much on my mind,” he says. “The championship, the team, expectations… It’s not that I don’t want to see you—it’s that I don’t know how to split myself in two.”

“I’m not asking you to split,” I reply, gently squeezing his arm. “Just to be present.”

Oscar looks away and mutters:

“I don’t know if I can be everything for you right now.”

A heavy silence falls between us, thicker than the smoke coming out of the cars’ exhausts. I feel small. Invisible.

I realise something has shifted when Lando starts staying longer in the hospitality suite. He used to just greet me with that cheeky grin, those half-joking, half-charming remarks I never took seriously. Oscar always said it was Lando flirting with the universe, not with me. But now it feels different.

Lando waits until Oscar drifts away, then approaches me with a cup of coffee.

“Have you eaten yet?” he asks, voice soft. Almost secret.

“Not much,” I admit, surprised he even noticed.

He sits beside me, legs crossed, giving me that look that feels like an unspoken promise.

“Oscar’s been impossible lately. I don’t know how you put up with it.”

“He’s focused,” I answer, like I’ve been trained to. Like I need to believe it.

Lando chuckles, shaking his head. “That’s a sweet way of saying he’s being a dick.

I laugh, and for a moment, I feel alive, heard. He keeps talking—about his insomnia, the pressure he’s under—and before I know it, I’m opening up. I tell him about sleepless nights, the sadness weighing on me, and how I feel like a ghost in Oscar’s life.

He nods, as though he understands without judgment, and says:

“You don’t deserve to be invisible. Ever.”

But memories don’t wait. They rush in like fleeting films projecting in my mind without invitation. Like that day, just a few weeks ago, when Oscar won a race and didn’t hug me.

Flashback — Miami GP.

The sky was electric blue, like something out of a postcard. The track gleamed under the Florida sun, and the air smelled of adrenalineand burnt rubber. Oscar crossed the finish line first, and the whole garage erupted in joy. A flawless performance.

I was in Parc Ferme, heart racing, palms sweating, a grin aching on my face. I knew the script: he’d get out of the car, run towards me, and pull me into one of those hugs that makes the world stop. We’d done it a thousand times. That was us.

But that day… it was different.

Me and the team were waiting for him, as he took off his gloves, holding back tears of pride, waiting to meet his eyes. But Oscar walked straight past me. Didn’t even glance my way.

“Congratulations!” I said, voice steady though something inside was already cracking.

“Thanks,” he replied, almost by reflex, not breaking stride.

He headed straight for the microphones, the team’s embraces, the cameras chasing him like he’d just conquered the world.

I stood there, arms half-raised. The celebration went on without me.

I stepped aside, pretending to check my phone, though all I saw were messages congratulating him. No one asked about me. No one noticed the champion had forgotten me.

And then… I saw him.

Lando.

Suit rolled down to his waist, face still red from the heat, hair damp against his forehead, frustration in every step. But when he saw me—he stopped.

He came over without hesitation, tilting his head slightly. He knew something was wrong. It showed. I felt like I was trembling inside, trying not to break.

“Didn’t see you in the celebrations,” he said gently.

“He didn’t see me either,” I replied with a bitter smile.

Lando frowned. “You alright?”

I nodded. We both knew it was a lie. He looked down for a moment, then back at me—eyes more intense than I’d ever seen.

“Came second again,” he said with a crooked smile. “But I’d trade the podium for someone like you waiting at the end.”

I stared at him, confused.

“Don’t say that, Lando.”

“I’m not saying it to confuse you,” he said calmly. “Just… so you know not everyone would take you for granted.”

Even when I’m pissed off. Even when I lose. I still have time for you. That has to mean something, right?

I couldn’t respond. Frozen. My heart pounding so loud I was sure he could hear it.

Then, out of nowhere, he pulled out a little bag of mini chocolate biscuits.

“From hospitality?” I asked.

“Stolen just for you. Don’t say I don’t look after you.”

I laughed. A bit for the biscuits, a bit for the audacity—and mostly because I needed to. He made me laugh when I wanted to cry. And that was more than Oscar had done all day.

“If you ever need to escape all this…” he added, voice dropping a tone, “I’m here.”

And then he left. Not waiting for an answer. Just leaving that truth hanging in the air between the engine roars and the echo of something I already knew—but didn’t want to admit.

Hours later, when Oscar returned to the motorhome, I tried to recover a piece of us. Just one.

“Shouldn’t we celebrate?” I said with a fragile smile. “We could order something, stay here… just us.”

Oscar slumped onto the couch, eyes distant.

“I’m exhausted. Simulator tomorrow, interviews all day. Now’s not the time for distractions.”

“Me—disrupting you?” I asked, swallowing the knot in my throat.

He pressed his lips together, rubbed his face.

“I didn’t mean it that way,” he sighed. “It’s just… I can’t afford to drop my guard now.”

I sat on the edge of the sofa in silence, watching him open his laptop and dive into race data. He muttered something about second stint pace, tyre degradation, and I knew he’d drifted away. To somewhere I was no longer part of.

And the worst part? Even though Oscar had won, that night I felt like I had lost everything.

End of flashback.

There had been so many signs. But somehow, I couldn’t see them—until that fight in Monaco.

Oscar returned from qualifying looking furious. He’d qualified third—behind Lando. Again. He threw hat onto the sofa and didn’t look at me. I’d been sitting there, waiting like a fool, for nearly an hour. I’d bought his favourite drink and memorised some track talk in case he needed to vent. But he said nothing. Not a word.

“Could you at least tell me what’s wrong with you?” I whispered, not raising my voice, but carrying the weight of weeks.

He looked at me as if he barely remembered I was there.

“I can’t do it all. I can’t be the best driver, the best boyfriend, the perfect son and… everything.”

“I’m not asking everything. I’m only asking you not to ignore me. Not to treat me like part of the background.”

Silence. I reached out. He pulled away.

“If you can’t handle this… maybe you don’t want to be here.”

He didn’t shout. No drama. Just those words. And the worst part? They didn’t come from anger, but from resignation.

From exhaustion. As if giving up was easier than fighting.

“Don’t say that, Oscar,” I cried, my voice breaking. “Don’t put me in that position! I’m trying to stay!”

He closed his eyes for a moment. Then he shrugged.

“Perhaps you’re not trying hard enough.”

That night I left. Packed my suitcase without looking back. The corridor air was cold and smelled of disinfectant. Every step felt like a betrayal. Not to him— to what we had.

Lando saw me crossing the hotel hallway.

He wore a grey hoodie, his hair damp. He looked at me as if he knew exactly where I’d come from.

“You okay?”

“No.”

Silence.

“Do you… want some air?”

That night I ended up eating with him on a terrace overlooking the city. We shared a pizza we didn't finish and a bottle of wine we drank. He talked about the race. About the championship. Anything, except Oscar. And I was grateful for that.

Until he fell quiet. He stared at me for a long time.

“You know I’d be crazy if I had what he has, don’t you?”

I didn’t reply. The answer caught in my throat.

“I mean it. I don’t know what it’s like to have someone like you… and not notice.”

“It’s not that simple,” I murmured.

“No. But it’s not that complicated either.”

I stayed still. I couldn’t breathe. Not because I liked what he said, but because a part of me wanted to believe it. Because that part was tired of feeling invisible.

Lando didn’t move closer. He didn’t try to kiss me. He didn’t cross that line. But he looked at me as though he had already done so in another life.

“I’m not asking you to leave everything for me,” he added softly. “Just… don’t forget about yourself. What you deserve.”

Oscar wins in Spain. Lando comes second. I stay home that weekend. I ignore messages. I don’t want to see any press conferences or trophies. I only want silence.

But Oscar shows up at our flat door at three in the morning, with a single flower in his hand.

His face is weary. He has dark circles, and his voice is rough. He doesn’t say anything at first. He just stands there. I remain silent too, waiting for him to break the air between us.

“I don’t want to lose you,” he says.

And I believe him. But I also know wanting isn't always enough.

I let him in. We sit on the floor of our kitchen, legs tangled under the table, like we used to when things were simple and takeout pizza felt like a celebration.

“I don’t need promises,” I whisper. “I need presence.”

“I’m trying,” he says. “Even if it’s messy. Even if I get it wrong.”

And maybe that’s the most honest thing he’s ever said.

I reach for his hand. He lets me.

But in the quiet, I think of Lando. His words. His silence. His laughter when I needed it. The look in his eyes when I was breaking and he noticed.

I think of the way my heart didn’t ache when I was with him.

And I wonder— What happens when you realise someone else made you feel more like yourself than the person you love ever did?

I don’t know where this story ends. Maybe it’s not about endings at all. Maybe it’s about the shift. The moment you start choosing peace over patterns.

So I stay, for now. But not because I’ve forgiven. Not because I’ve forgotten. Just… because I’m still figuring it out.

And maybe that’s allowed too.

Greetings! I wanted to ask if you write for male or gender neutral reader? And if you'd be up to write for Max Verstappen? Thank you, kind regards.

heyyyy! I’ve not written for a male or gender-neutral reader before, but I’m definitely open to it. If you’ve got a specific idea in mind, feel free to throw it my way <3<3

hi queen! i’m the anon who asked about the timeline- thank you soooo much for clarifying!! you’re totally right tho, you did mention it in the notes for pt 7, i’m just blind & dumb and completely missed it im sorry 😭💀

can’t wait for the next chapter!!! 🤍

hiiii!! omg nooo don’t even worry about it 🥹 you're not blind or dumb at all, I promise!! sometimes I forget what I’ve written in the notes too 💀 I’m just so glad you’re keeping up with the story and that you're enjoying it. next chapter is coming soon

[paddockletters]

hi queen!! i’m absolutely loving redeemed!! i was wondering tho, where characters 8 & 9 also still in 2021? i noticed there wasn’t a time stamp and was curious if we’ve moved forward yet.

cannot wait for the next part!!! 🤍🤍

Hiiiii, first of all, thank you so much for reading—I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying it! Secondly, sorry if it's a bit confusing. From Part 8 onwards, the timeline is set in 2024 (I think I mentioned it in Part 7), which is exactly when “everything” started—that is, the moment the whole story is inspired by (I'll leave the link here). I’ll keep your comment in mind and add a note to help make sure readers don’t get “lost”. Once again, thank you sooo much for your lovely comments <3

[paddockletters]

Oscar smau where he admits he has a girlfriend, but no one has seen her and she's like a medical student.

And one day, at a race day, interviews around paddock see that Oscar is anxiously waiting at the entrance and ask him and they are surprised to see his anxious grin (he barely expresses emotions lmao) as he says his gfs gonna be here and hes excited.

Fans having reactions to his excitement and him running when he sees his girlfriend enter with his mum and sister.

And then Oscar being all lovey dovey in interviews and when he wins the race he goes straight to her and she's witty and hilarous as well.

Them posting each other after the race and driver reactions and fan reactions.

Thats all.

i loved the idea sm!!! sorry it took me too long but finally it's here! hope you like it! <3
