Summary
“Red Bull Racing have announced that Gianpiero Lambiase will not be returning as Max Verstappen’s race engineer for the 2023 season. Taking his place will be Charles Leclerc, former Scuderia Ferrari performance engineer.”
His hands had shook around his phone as he read the announcement, his breath firmly lodged in his throat. Charles has known he had the job since he first sat down across from Christian Horner and accepted the offer, alongside a Red Bull polo, with hands that felt bloodied. But reading it from the official F1 socials is something else entirely. It is real.
“At twenty-five, Leclerc will be the youngest race engineer in Formula One history.”
He had barely managed to get to a trash can before vomiting up his lunch.
Or:
The Engineer!Charles AU no one asked for

Summary
He thinks that even if his voice were intact enough to say the words, he wouldn’t have been able to get them out. That even if pressed, held down and told to say it, he wouldn't have found a way. I’m married to Max Verstappen.
Charles leans over his bed and throws up on the floor.

Summary
“Am I too late?” He asks, not daring to make direct eye contact with the McLaren driver.
Daniel has to know. He isn’t stupid. He’s a lot of things, but he’s not stupid.
“Max.”
His voice sounds lower, heavy with something else. Something that pre-World Championship trophy winner Max Verstappen would have taken as the sign to drop the conversation and leave. But not this time. He wonders if it’s ever changed Lewis like this.
“Daniel, please, I just- I need to know. Am I too late?”

Or, the one in which it takes winning the World Championship for Max to realise he's let something more important slip through his fingers. That something is named Daniel Ricciardo.
