"Well done Charles", "Thank you Brian". It's the thirty-eighth lap when Charles Leclerc passes George Russell going up to the third position in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Once the overtaking is completed, Brian Bozzi, his track engineer, opens up on the radio to compliment him and give him the charge. He wants to push him, to transmit more speed to him, in addition to what the Monegasque is already magically extracting from the SF-25.
Magic, or rather, pure talent. One of those who, once they get in the car, always manage to get something more out. To lower the time by a cent. To keep the tires under control, as they almost have to last forever.
Today Charles made a masterpiece. He did it with his drive on the track. The team did it, giving him the right support. Brian Bozzi's team radio proves it: it is the purest expression of a relationship that has become deeper and deeper over time. A relationship of trust and respect for that boy who, in these seven years, has always given everything for that yellow coat of arms sewn on his chest. For that Rampant Horse that he chose as a child and that, in return, chose him.
A relationship that goes beyond the track and lives in the heart. And this can be seen, in every small action: every statement, every overtaking, every attempt to extract the maximum. For a driver who always pushes the car one step further, always stronger. That every time he goes down on the track he lights something and makes hearts beat.
Today's third place is, once again, a declaration. Of love, of intent, from the belly and from the heart. Because when Leclerc drives the Red, it's not just speed: it's passion that takes shape. Pure emotion that captures you, curve after curve.
