Predestined

Charles Leclerc had always been in Max Verstappen's orbit. Long before they made it to Formula 1, Max found himself only a couple degrees of separation from Charles at all times. Whether it was passing each other between trailers at a karting track, at a banquet event for a racing group, or hearing his name in conversation with someone else. He was omnipresent and Max would never be able to escape him- an unfortunate fact considering they hated each other.

i.e. Max Verstappen's enemy is now his newest neighbor (but not for long, if Max can help it)
