hasn't this been a hot second. Been a bit busy and I don't know when I'll update again

Y/N's second season at Campos Racing was going amazingly well and at the penultimate race weekend of the 2021 season, Y/N was 9 points behind Championship leader Robert Schwartzman. "Y/N?" She was pulled from her thoughts by Max tugging on her hand, lacing their fingers together as they strolled through the paddock at the Sochi Autodrom, she hummed in response, prompting him to continue, "you ready for your race?" Y/N rocked her head side to side as if mulling over the thought of her race. She was indifferent about the upcoming race, the feature race yesterday had went well as Y/N had finished P4 and thankfully Robert had finished one place behind her in P5 allowing Y/N to further close the gap to him, the championship was within her grasps, but the rain had arrived this morning and had only let up about 15 minutes ago.
"What about you? You're starting from pole!" Y/N cheered placing a kiss on the inside of his wrist as they walked back to the F2 Paddock where Y/N was needed to get ready for her race.
"Yeah, but P2 is a better position to start from here." By the time the F2 paddock was within view, Y/N could already tell by the hustle and bustle that the teams were coming to life with the start of the sprint race beginning soon. "I love you." Max mumbled drawing her into his chest and placing a kiss on her head. Murmuring the words back to him, she drew away from him and they parted ways for Y/N's race.
Y/N was gambling with the slicks, everyone else had settled with the intermediates, but the track was drying rather quickly and Y/N didn't want to waste time in the pits getting slicks – especially as it was a sprint race. The formation lap began and as they travelled around the circuit, Y/N realised she and her strategists had made a grave error in choosing the slicks, but Y/N knew she'd get penalised if her asked her team for their opinion on tyres so she decided to stick with them. Lights out. Sector One was dry, thankfully, as turn 2 and 3 would've been hard to make if it were wet. It wasn't until Sector Three that Y/N realised she had a problem. She slowed her speed slightly as she eyed a bit of water laying on the track, but before she could react she had skid across and off the track in the tyre wall surrounding the track. The crash echoed throughout the track causing her team who were listening on the radio to flinch, the crash which had been broadcast around the track caused the crowd to gasp. Max who was watching on from the Red Bull Garage jumped to his feet and ran to the computers were Christian Horner was talking with Adrian Newey.
"Is she alright? Tell me she's alright!" Max shouted as his team looked on with worry in their eyes as they watched the crash replay on the TVs. Y/N had visited the garage on numerous occasions and often watched the F1 race with the mechanics and so they too worried for her safety.
"I don't Max, I don't have her radio-" Max didn't stick around long to hear the rest of what Christian was going to say as he raced out of the Red Bull garage and ran across to the Campos Garage were her team were in a not so dissimilar state to that of Red Bull.
"Y/N, do you copy? Are you OK?" Her race engineer asked, but was only greeted with silence which made Max's heart race even more and it seemed only the worse scenarios could occupy his mind. The team and Max could do nothing but watch on as the marshals approached the car, and Max felt nothing, but a huge sigh of relief as he watched Y/N climb out of the car with the assistance of a marshal and into the medical car. "She's ok, just shaken. Her radio broke." Y/N's engineer told everyone. Max promptly left the garage and headed towards to medical facilities where he knew Y/N would be headed to and as soon as he eyed up the Mercedes car heading towards it, he broke out into a sprint, engulfing Y/N into a hug as she stepped out of the car. She wrapped her arms around his neck as Max peppered kisses across her face, thankful that she was alive and well.
"You scared me."
"I'm sorry."
"Please don't do it again."
"I won't." She promised.
