The 2022 season had started like a dream for Charles, full of hope and promises that this would finally be his year. But race after race, everything fell apart. The strategies that should have lifted him to victory instead left him stranded, with each mistake and failure pushing him further down.
Promises from his team started to feel like empty words, leaving him to wonder if he was just chasing shadows. With every setback, he felt the weight of the world on his shoulders, heavier than he could bear, his confidence crumbling piece by piece.

Racing had always been his fuel, his purpose, but now it felt like a chain holding him down, reminding him of all the ways he'd fallen short. He was his own harshest critic, and he feared he'd spiraled too far, that he might never shake this feeling of being lost.
But then, like a light at the end of what seemed like a never ending tunnel, someone unexpectedly stepped into his life, a light he hadn't realized he needed. She was steady and kind, with a way of seeing him beyond what was expected of him.
