The paddock thrums—a wall of engine roar, the sharp perfume of hot rubber and fuel. You stand beside the scarlet Ferrari, your pulse beating a frantic rhythm against your ribs as Charles Leclerc walks over, his helmet cradled under one arm. He stops before you, a quiet smile tempering the fierce focus in his eyes. "Just—not too fast… please," you whisper, your hands clumsy on the helmet’s clasp. He steps into your space, his fingers brushing yours as he takes over, securing the strap with practiced care. "I’ll keep it smooth, I swear." His eyes stay on you, waiting for your signal.
