15: 'Because of Charles'

Charles' point of view

'Where do you want me?', Luci is recording a 'Guess the word' with me, I have looked forward to this the whole week.

'Just right there, on that chair. I'll give you an English word and then you'll translate it into French and Italian. Okay?', she says.

'Won't that be fucking boring?'.

'No, the girls are drooling over accents. Boys too', she says and re-adjusts the camera so I'm completely on camera.

'Alright. You ready?', she asks.

'Yeah', I say.

The video:

CH: Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing well wherever you are. I'm Charles Leclerc and we are currently at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix.

CH: Luci here will give me words in English which I then have to translate into French and Italian, so let's learn some languages, shall we?

LU: First word, car.

CH: So in French, car is Voiture and in Italian car is Auto.

LU: How would you use it in a sentence?

CH: So, if I say something like, I drive fast cars. In Italian, it would be Sto guidando auto veloci and in French, it would be Je conduis des voitures rapides.

LU: Beautiful

CH: Beautiful is an easy one. In French, it's beau or belle and in Italian it's Bellissimo. So for example if I say. *Looks at Luci* You are beautiful. It would be Sei Bello in Italian and Tu es belle in French.

LU: *Blushes* Okay, now, eyes.

CH: Yeux in French. Tu as de beaux yeux. In Italian it's occhi. Hai dei bellissimi occhi. Which means, you have beautiful eyes.

*A lot of words later*

LU: Those were all the words, do you have something to say?

CH: Yes! Thank you so much for watching, this was a lot of fun! Make sure you subscribe to the Scuderia Ferrari YouTube channel and please watch me race this Sunday! Have a nice day you all!

*End of video*

'Thank you for doing this, I will make sure the video gets watched', Luci says

'Please, it's no big deal, princess', I put on my sunglasses.

'Shall we go to the paddock? I have some interviews to do and some pictures', I ask Luci.

'Sure, I will walk with you and make sure you won't do something stupid'.

Luciana's point of view

We walk out of the motorhome and immediately I see all the people in the paddock.

It's kind of making me stop breathing, suddenly I feel so anxious.

'Charles! Here please!', an interviewer yells.

Charles and I walk to the interviewer and I make sure he walks in front of me.

There are fans behind the interviewer, I'm looking at them. They're wearing Ferrari shirts and Charles' number or Carlos' number.

'Charles! Can we get an autograph? Please?', A little girl yells.

I walk towards the girl. 'Shall I give your bracelets to him and then tell him to sign the card? I'll bring it right back!', I ask the little girl.

'Yes, please!', the girl hands me the bracelets and a card of Charles in a Red Bull suit, I can't help but laugh.
