And here is my Formula 1 novel, Formation Lap’s Agent Guide 💛

#questpit #q #a
An agent’s guide to Formation Lap. By Holly E. O’Neill [race track with two formula 1 cars on it] Stats: word count 99k, genre and age adult contemporary, comps, Carrie soto is back by taylor jenkins reid, cross the line by simone soltani and F1. [a race track] Blurb: Natasha James signs with successful Formula 1 team Valvedere Scope Fl for her rookie year. She is both young and inexperienced but eager to become the next world champion. Her teammate, two time world champion Mateo Ramos, is still fighting for wins despite being at the end of his career. He is the put together, mature racer she is trying to become, but her performance pales in comparison to his. Then there's the other rookie, Joel Alanko, an old rival who infuriates Natasha. The pressure on her becomes too much and her mistakes start to pile up. Her old life is rapidly fading and it threatens to take with it her dreams of being world champion. Joel seems to revel in her failures and provoke her further. If she can't push their turbulent relationship aside, and prove to the world that she deserves to be in Formula 1, she will lose her chance forever. [two f1 cars] Quote I thought Formula 1 drivers were supposed to be egomaniacs,' Martin says, dripping with sarcasm. My laugh punctures the silence. 'Only some of us. 'Present company included,’ Henry adds, nudging me with his elbow.

Natasha James joins the F1 grid, along with an old rival - Joel Alanko. Her teammate, Mateo Ramos, is a multi-time world champion. Both are her enemy on the track, one is who she hopes to be, and the other…is a little more complicated
