—— CHARLIE, RADIO CHECK, LOVE
— loud and clear, cherì, ready to race
— happy to hear, have fun out there
— stay in my ear
— always. grid line up, p4.
Charles Leclerc learned over the years that he'd gained a sort of paranoia around his previous race engineer. His childhood dream had been to be where he stood, wearing that stunning red, to be in the driver one seat. But seemingly everything that glittered, wasn't always gold. He knew he could get a championship, he knew he could push himself to the limits. He just needed the car at the strategy to do.
He knew he could be good enough.
Although he'd never voiced that opinion, not willing to blantantly accuse an engineer of causing Ferrari to lose a championship. It was truly a team effort all around, but Charles was the one in the seat. He was the one losing points. He was the one watching other drivers pass him on the track, watching drivers thrive inside cars designed to win.
But apparently the team principal decided the engineer wasn't doing his job either, and Charles never saw that man again after the 2023 season. A season to forget.
That's when he met her. Ferrari had a team dinner to announce her commitment to the team, fancy restaurant with really expensive wine and designer couples. All for one girl.
But you weren't just some girl.
You were the best in the game. You were everything Ferrari— everything he needed.
And that night, Charles had laid awake in his bed cursing himself. He'd met you only hours ago, and yet you remained in his mind. His age, stunningly beautiful, astonishingly smart— a show stopping strategist that half the grid wished they had on their team instead of a competitor. Working your way through the racing ranks through academies and engineering for F3 and F2 with stunning success.
You were going to be Charles' secret weapon. The one who's going to get him that championship trophy.
— chase, charlie. pace set to catch up in two laps. good work.
— what position?
— well p3, but perez is overdue a pit. be prepared for a fight for first. copy, darling?
