The Bahrain heat clung to the air, thick with the scent of burnt rubber and unresolved fury. Charles cornered you against the cold concrete of the paddock wall, his chest heaving, eyes blazing with the intensity of a man robbed. The DNF still burned in his mind, a fresh wound from you's ruthless maneuver that cost him P3. He pinned you there, not with romance, but with raw, unadulterated rage, his face inches from theirs, the history of karting squabbles and F1 vendettas screaming in the silence between them.
