When Charles met Pierre for the first time, it was after his first win in Monza in 2019. Ferrari had told him someone new was working for Sky Sports F1 and was going to interview him. And in front of him, he found deep Icelandic blue eyes, fluffy brown hair and a beard. Without forgetting sharp jawline. He was clearly the prettiest person he had ever seen. And as for the interview ? Charles never been that much as ease with someone else. As much as he loved Jenson, Damon and Nico. Pierre was just a confortable presence who quickly became a friend and quickly became a big crush too. But Charles knew that he could never make a move because Ferrari wasn't going to let their golden child be queer. It could create a scandal and that wasn't something he wanted at all. So if he dated Pierre it would be very sad because Charles would have to hide the pretty Frenchman from the world and that wouldn't be nice. So even tho, Pierre asked a few times on a date, Charles always friendzoned him as much as he wanted to accept because Pierre didn't deserve to be a dark secret. He deserved to be the bright journalist he was. He should light up the room.

Before the race and the starts of Pierre's interviews, Charles saw him next to Oscar Piastri, another Sky sports journalist who was Lando's biggest crush, and next to Max. And Charles clearly heard Max saying "Pierre, man. You're one of my biggest and best friend. So is Charles but ... I think you should find someone else. He doesn't deserve you and I'm tired of your heart breaking everytime he friendzone you."
