   Summary

   It's March 2023 and after another season of heartbreak and frustration, Charles steps out of the spotlight, leaving the paddock wondering and the world holding its breath. Max Verstappen can't understand why, and he's determined to find out.

   or: Charles Leclerc announces his retirement and Max decides to follow, to understand, to break down walls, and perhaps to realize that the most unexpected victories aren’t on the track.
