Baku was well known for its crazy and sometimes exciting race weekends and 2019 would most likely not be any different, sadly the first victim to those crazy accidents was George Russell, FP1 was canceled and in FP2 two red flags were brought out, FP3 was a bit calmer but Qualifying was surely to make up for that.

You sat in the back of the Scuderia Ferrari garage watching Q1 hoping that both the Ferrari's would make it out unscathed, the red flag was brought out and the cameras showed Robert's Williams in the wall at the dreaded castle section, Luckily he was all right and got out of the car and got into the medical car.

Charles' Ferrari was pushed into the garage and a few moments later he climbed out when they announced that the session wouldn't be continued, he walks up to you removing his helmet and balaclava.

"How are you enjoying Qualifying?" He asks placing his helmet and balaclava on the table in front of you.

"It's all right, but poor Robert." You say, Charles nods his head agreeing.

"Hi." Sebastian greeted you and Charles. "Unfortunate for Robert." Sebastian says.

"We were just talking about it." Charles says, the three of you begin talking about something else and ended up telling jokes, the time quickly passed and they were back in their cars and on the rack competing in Q2.

In the middle of the Qualifying another red flag was waved, you felt the air leave your lungs when you spot Charles Ferrari in the wall at the same place where Robert crashed.

"I am stupid." You hear his radio message come through, you take in a breath of relieve." I am stupid." He repeats before he climbed out of the car, your heart was breaking hearing his voice, he was being too hard on himself.

When he got back to the Ferrari garage the team tried their best to comfort him but everyone could see he was disappointed himself, you follow him to his cooldown room and close the door behind you.

"I'm so stupid... I can't believe I messed up." Charles says.

"You're not stupid and you didn't mess up, it was an accident, accidents happen." You say.

"I could have avoided that..." Charles says. "I should not have turned when I locked up." He says.

"Anybody could have done that, especially if the car turns when it always goes off straight." You say. "Anybody could have crashed into that wall." You say, he begins removing his racing suit.

"I am just so disappointed..." He says, you nod your head.

"I know... but it could have been anyone, you were sadly the unlucky one." You say.

"I thought you were supposed to comfort me." He says with a smile appearing on his face.

"I'm trying!" You say. "Okay.. Seb grazed the wall before you, it could have been him." You say.

"But it was not..." Charles says.

"Then take it as a learning experience." You say. "And please stop being so harsh on yourself, do you know how many people are probably on Twitter or Instagram right now, just saying the complete opposite."

"You think so?" He asks, you nod your head.

"Yes... do you have any idea how heartbreaking it is to hear you call yourself stupid?" You ask.

"I've never heard myself say that." Charles says.

"It's pretty heart aching... it makes you want to climb through the tv screen to just hug you." You say.

"Did you want to run down the track to come to hug me?" He asks, a wide smile now on display.

"Not the point but yes... but there was probably a lot of other people that wanted to do it also." You say. "I'll see you out there when you're finished..."

"All right... I'll be right out." He says, you nod your head and leave the room, you sit down at the same chair you were before and wait for Q2 to resume, Sebastian walks up to you.

"How is he?" Sebastian asks.

"He's pretty upset with himself... but it could have happened to anyone." You say.

"He'll be fine, he bounces back quickly." Sebastian says, you nod your head.

"It's... what we always say when we come here... Well done Baku." You say.

"Well done Baku." Sebastian says and walks away, Charles sits down next to you with his phone in hand.

"So... you were right, the fans are saying that I shouldn't call myself stupid." Charles says, you nod your head. "Their support is amazing." He says. "I'm going to go apologise to the team and then I'll come join you and support Seb." He says.

"All right." You say, Charles got up from the chair.

"See you in a minute." He says, you give him a smile.
