"Charlie, why do you look so skinny? There's nothing on you, kid."

Sakura Aoki questioned as she came face to face with the young Ferrari Formula One driver that was Charles Leclerc.

"I haven't eaten much today." Charles smiled at the team principal of AlphaTauri, seeing her immediately furrowing her eyebrows together at the words that had left his lips.

"You're my guest now, come with me." Sakura took a gentle and mothering hold on to the arm of the Monégasque, carefully pulling him in to her garage, despite the glances that she was recieving.

"All of you get back to work. I'm just feeding a stray."

Charles released a deep sigh as the Aoki woman scolded her staff, before he was brought over to where there was a lot of food in front of his eyes.

"Where does all of this food come from?" Charles gasped, having not expected to see so much.

"Some of the food is what I have made, the rest is Red Bull." Sakura smiled, whilst holding a plate in one of her hands and using the other to place different food items on to the plate so that she could give it to the boy.

"Can I try what you've made? I always like your cooking." Charles smiled sheepishly at the woman, since he did not want to seem like he was begging for food.

He had been avoiding the Ferrari garage due to the fact that he had been scolded for messing up in qualifying.

He knew that Sakura wouldn't judge him or scold him.

"Of course you can, Charlie." Sakura smiled reassuringly at the boy, very well aware why he had not been in Ferrari.

She had walked past the garage when she had heard the team principal yelling at the Leclerc boy, and whilst she knew that she couldn't walk in and defend him, she knew that he didn't deserve being yelled at like he was.

It had been a very small fault, but in Ferrari's eyes, it had been almost career ending.

The team principal of AlphaTauri knew that he would be walking around the paddock like a lost puppy to avoid the team that he was driving for, and vowed to take him in to make sure that he wasn't on his own.

"Do you think that I can hide here for a while? If I'm allowed to, obviously. I-I just don't want to go back to Ferrari just yet." Charles chewed on his bottom lip as he hoped that he would be allowed to hide in the woman's garage, despite the fact that he was a rival.

"Pierre's trailer is open for you. If Ferrari look for you, I'll say that you went to see your brother." Sakura gently placed one of her hands on to the cheek of the Leclerc boy, seeing the sadness in his face.

Charles Leclerc gleefully accepted the hug that the Japanese woman was giving him, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Thank you." The Monégasque spoke quietly, before he felt the softest of kisses to the top of his head.

"I'll bring some more food for you later, go, hide and play on Pierre's PlayStation if you need to." Sakura smiled before quickly ruffling his hair, watching as he ran to enter the garage of one of her drivers.

Sakura sadly shook her head from side to side as she began to walk to meet the boss of the Red Bull team, Christian Horner, knowing that the young boy did not deserve the treatment that he was recieving.

"Have you seen Charles?"

Mattia Binotto spoke to the team boss of AlphaTauri as she was walking out of her garage, since he knew that she was close with the boy that was driving for his team.
