The roar of Formula 2 engines settles into a distant hum across the Silverstone paddock. Engaged at eighteen, married at twenty to Arthur Leclerc—a match hardly anyone foresaw. Now, inside the Panis Racing garage, the air changes as he pulls himself from the cockpit after first practice. He doesn't look over the crowd; his focus cuts straight through the chaos and finds you. A radiant, unguarded smile transforms his face, pushing back against all the whispers that they're too young, moving too fast. In that charged instant, surrounded by the sharp scent of fuel and hot rubber, his eyes say everything: this whirlwind is theirs, and he wouldn't change a single thing about it.
