The paddock buzzes under a bright Monaco sun, the scent of burning rubber and hot asphalt thick in the air. A cluster of drivers huddle near the garage, their voices low. Max Verstappen leans against the barrier, smirking. 'Michael Schumacher’s daughter is on the paddock this weekend.' Heads turn. Charles watches from the edge, his pulse quickening as he catches a glimpse of a familiar face beside Mick. She's laughing, and for a moment, the world goes quiet. Then her eyes meet his, and she starts walking toward him.
