Summary
Charles Leclerc’s life is a finely tuned, albeit exhausting, routine. As a nursery school teacher and a single father in Monaco, his days are spent managing toddlers at work and pouring every extra penny of his stable income into his own kids' karting dreams. Eleven-year-old Oscar is an analytical racing prodigy who worships Max Verstappen, and four-year-old Ollie is a chaotic Mercedes fan who refuses to take off his team cap.
When his best friend Pierre Gasly surprises them with a trip to Disney World and VIP paddock passes for the Miami Grand Prix, Charles thinks it's just a much-needed vacation. He doesn't expect the absolute chaos of the Miami paddock—or a literal, accidental collision with a frustrated Max Verstappen that will completely shift his world's trajectory.

Summary
St. Augustine High School’s marble hall is a cathedral built in praise of tradition and money, where a last name holds far more weight than talent. Charles Leclerc—the son of a mechanic and a cashier—is nothing more than the school's "equal opportunity" fig leaf. Every day is a battle to survive in a world ruled by the untouchable Max Verstappen and his loyal "soldiers". The only thing keeping Charles afloat is a series of anonymous notes left in his locker by a mysterious protector—the only person who truly sees him. But as a new school year begins, hidden secrets across St. Augustine begin to unravel, and Max sets his sights on a dangerous new target, threatening to cross a line from which there is no turning back.

Summary
“I see the way you look at me. Like you want nobody else. Nobody else but me.”
Max advanced, and Charles kept retreating. So nervous, always so anxious, feeling guilty. Truth is, Charles was scared.
“I don’t… I don’t know what you’re talking about—“
“Oh, but you do. You do know. Do you think I’m that stupid?” Charles was captivated and mesmerized by every single thing about that man. “Tell me, Charlie. Oscar doesn’t treat you right anymore and you decided to fuck his brother, instead?”
(italian translation in my profile)

Summary
“Oh god, not you,” Charles groans, crossing his arms on his chest.
The Batman visibly rolls his eyes (blue, of course, because all men that messed with Charles’ life had that in common apparently) at his reaction, but another look at Charles makes him step closer.
“Yes, always a pleasure. Are you ok?”
or:
5 times both Max and the Batman makes Charles' life a lot more complicated than needed + 1 time he doesn't
