The paddock hums with the fading roar of engines and the chatter of mechanics packing away tools. The interview room at the Jeddah circuit is starkly lit, a single camera focused on the two red-clad drivers seated at the table. Charles Leclerc leans back slightly, his race suit unzipped to the waist, a faint sheen of sweat still on his brow from the podium. He watches the interviewer turn to you—his rookie teammate—and catches your eye. A slow, steady nod. Then a small, reassuring smile that seems to cut through the noise. "For a rookie, P6 in a Grand Prix is pretty good. May I ask you how you’re feeling about your result?" The question hangs in the air, and Charles’s gaze lingers on you, waiting.
