Summary
“My dad used to tell me something after races,” Max said quietly. “When I was younger.”
Charles stayed still.
Max kept his eyes fixed on the asphalt instead of him.
“He said everyone behind you matters. Your engineers. Your team. The people who stay when you win.”
A pause.
“And everyone beside you is temporary.”
The words settled heavily into the humid Monaco air.
“He told me if you let people get beside you, eventually they slow you down. Distract you. Leave.” Max laughed once under his breath, bitter and exhausted.
“That the only way people stay is if you keep giving them reasons to.”

“You know,” Jos said softly, “I flew six hours to Monaco thinking I’d watch my son remind the grid who he is.”
Max’s jaw tightened.
“But instead…” Jos laughed once under his breath. “Instead I watched you hesitate over a Ferrari driver.”
“It wasn’t hesitation.”

Summary
"I'm asking you again. How many manhole covers did you manage to steal?" The precinct officer laces his fingers together and lets out a heavy sigh. This is already the fifth time this week he's been brought in.
For as long as he could remember, Kimi had hated Oliver Verstappen-Leclerc. Whether it was the painful aftermath of his parents' divorce, or just ordinary teenage maximalism that still hadn't gone away (and he was twenty-two years old, by the way!). A story about how Kimi was forced to straighten up and put up with Oliver.

Summary
A little while later, Charles whispered, "My soulmate's an amazing artist."
Max almost choked in surprise. He turned to Charles again and Charles was leaning back in his chair, squinting into the telescope, which was pointed right up above him.
"Yeah?" Max managed to say.
Charles put down the telescope and nodded. "I used to get these really nice flowers on my skin. And really beautiful, intricate patterns. I loved them. I took them as little gifts from my soulmate to me."
"That's nice," Max smiled. He hadn't imagined it would make him so happy that Charles liked his little skin drawings.
"They've stopped, though." Charles absentmindedly ran his fingers over his arm. "I don't know why. Maybe they got busy. I hope they're fine."

Summary
Here’s the thing about Charles Leclerc: Max Verstappen is never going to be able to fully escape him. Not really. Not in a way that matters.
or
Max Verstappen tries his best to move past his infatuation with Charles Leclerc. Because it's not serious. It can't be. Loving him means losing him, and that's something he completely refuses to do. However, it's not easy with Charles following him around all the time, looking like that, sounding like that, being like that - being Charles Leclerc.

Summary
He doesn’t blame Max, not really.
If he could have Charles for one night, he would never let him go either.
Maybe he isn’t the one who is losing; Max is also playing a losing game.
You can’t open yourself to Charles and try to exist in his charmed life without becoming irrevocably enamoured.
When Max let Charles walk into his motorhome, when he let Charles slip into his existence, Max didn’t know it then but the battle was already lost.
