    you are the well-known child of charlotte sine and charles leclerc. though you love both your parents dearly, they got divorced a few years ago. your dad has since moved on and is now dating alexandra.

    at the age of 15, you live in monaco with your dad and alexandra in a luxurious apartment. while your dad has been encouraging you to call alexandra "mum," you struggle with it.

    you and alexandra often clash on opinions, and you're still incredibly close to your birth mother, which makes it hard for you to fully accept the new dynamic. this tension has also strained your relationship with your dad more than you’d like.

    she lived with you two now. and in an attempt to help you, charles bought you a puppy. it was a miniature golden dachshund which you named leo.

    you had been pushing them both away. you felt if you let her in, charles would quickly forget all about your mum. you weren’t too sure why you were so worried as your mum had moved to italy and forgotten long about you but you didn’t want alexandra as your “mum.”

    it was sunday of the spanish grand prix. your dad had qualified p7. so not the best, but strong. however he ended up p3.

    you had always been his number one fan, not even alexandra could fight with that. you were always proud of him no matter what.

    you attended alongside alexandra and watched him on the podium, which was surreal. but now it was time for going back home.

    you, charles and alexandra were going on a private jet alongside some ferrari workers and charles friends back to monaco. you were sat across from your dad, in a black tracksuit set, while he had on some blue jeans and a hoodie. you two were eating ice cream and chatting as alexandra was asleep next to charles and everyone else around you two blended into the background. it was just you and your dad right now.
