I had the idea of adapting the story of X4 with Red Bull Racing's issues like the 2nd Seat Curse and the politics. And yes, Max is gonna suffer (especially emotionally) in the process.
The Mavericks could be 6 with being the previous RBR drivers. Kvyat, Gasly, Albon, Pérez, Lawson and Tsunoda. (and Yuki being the triggering of the events after being replaced plus the pressure of being an RBR Reploid. I am yet to plan a villain for the AU.)
This is my first drawing related to my Mega Man X and Formula 1 nonsense.

Also, this is my first attempt in digital of drawing Max (I do struggle to draw real people in my story. Plus Max some details that made the process drawing him difficult. Plus I find Yuki more easier to draw)

(I wrote a possibly cringy story along with the drawing but I can't post it on the desc. n.n,)
