Charles Leclerc

The Ferrari garage was unusually noisy after qualifying. Mechanics chatted among themselves, and journalists crowded around the exit, waiting for any commentary after another tough session.

Charles barely noticed you when you first raised your camera to him. He'd had enough of flashbulbs, microphones, and people trying to catch a beautiful reaction to a failure that day.

But when you suddenly lowered the camera without taking a picture, he looked at you normally for the first time.

• You're new.

His voice sounded more tired than harsh. He slowly removed one glove, studying you with his eyes for a few seconds before looking away again.
