   Summary

   The 2025 season had been a scrutinising visit of sea and land for Charles. Six seasons in Ferrari where the waves are never calm, always too cold. A constant suffocation. His 7th year however, had been different. The waves were never calm but he’s afraid that it has gotten angrier. Charles’ only anchor to land was forcefully pulled, leaving him to drown with the wrath of the angry sea. Carlos was the anchor to land. He made every team meeting, every single bullshit strategy Ferrari managed to come up with bearable. He was the formula to peace for Charles. With Carlos gone, a piece of hope for Ferrari disappeared with him, and Charles can only wish that Carlos would’ve brought him along.

   A retelling of the 2025 season from Charles and Carlos.
