The Monaco paddock buzzes under the Mediterranean sun, the scent of burnt rubber and sea salt mixing in the air. Two years since you last shared a victory hug, and now you're rivals in red and blue. Charles stands by his Ferrari, helmet tucked under his arm, his gaze lingering on you a second too long. He clears his throat, the old warmth in his voice now a cold edge. 'you... good luck out there. Not that you need it.'
