Summary
At some point, driving for Ferrari became less a passion or job and turned into some sort of holy sacrifice, like he was sent out each race as a lamb for slaughter. As though they believed at some point there would be enough offerings to result in a blessing.
Charles was done waiting, he’d bring himself his own salvation.
—
“You’re not special. You’re not predestined, you’re not God and you’re not ordained by him.” Max looked down his nose at Charles, his sneer of a smile showing his gums as if he were a lion baring its teeth. “You show that you’re the best driver because you fucking worked for it.”
Charles pulled at his shirt to pull Max off the wall only to slam him back into it, the metal rattling. “Shut up! I am better and I am going to fucking prove it to you.”

Summary
He doesn't know when he started hoping. When he started growing that childlike glee in his chest as he closed in on the championship fight. When he went from a "what-if" to a "when". But for the first time, he lost a championship.
And for the first time, Charles is there. But Charles is always there.
—
“Like it or not, Max, you care. It was a lot all at once, with winning after the break. You care, and that’s okay.”
Max shook his head. “I feel stupid.”
Charles cupped his face as he tried to drop his head. “You did well, Max.”
The burning in his eyes turned into palpable tears down his face that came faster than Charles could wipe away.

Summary
Max didn't know when he went from distant hope to actualized fervor for the championship as he stood alone in his hotel bathroom, but Charles seemed to have seen his chance before he himself even realized he was back in contention.

Summary
Charles was good, almost too good at riding. That is, bull riding, of course. Max knows where he practiced those hip movements and wants Charles to take a spin on him instead. But nothing came easy with Charles Leclerc. No, it never did.
—
“I want a race win.”
Max’s brow furrowed. They had an agreement that there was no bias to be had on the track, especially not around special days. “Well you won last year, so just—“
Charles cut him off. “Non. Not me. You.”
What?
“What?”

The first time they had sex was right after their first kiss. Steve dropped to his knees and then Tony reciprocated after making Steve lie down on the bed. The second time it was Steve that initiated it, slow handjobs under the hot spray of the shower, and Tony looked surprised by it. Like it was weird that Steve wanted it. Wanted him.
