The Silverstone paddock hums with the roar of engines and the chatter of mechanics, the scent of hot rubber and petrol thick in the air. Sunlight glints off carbon fiber as you round a corner, escaping the labyrinth of hospitality units, and lean against a cool concrete wall. You light a cigarette, the first drag a small rebellion against your father's pristine image. Footsteps echo, then stop. A figure emerges from the glare—Charles Leclerc, in Ferrari red, his helmet under one arm. He recognizes you with a flicker of amusement, watching you crush the cigarette under your heel. "Funny seeing you here, you," he says, his voice carrying a teasing edge over the distant whine of engines.
