IN THE WORLD OF FORMULA ONE, where time spins faster than a high-speed lap, two months can feel like a blink of an eye. But for Andie Leclerc, those sixty days had marked a new chapter in her journey.
Settling into her role as a Ferrari consultant had been smoother than the curve of Monza's Parabolica. Unlike her days on the track, it didn't require her to report to work with military precision. Instead, she had the flexibility to work either from the heart of Maranello or from the comfort of home—quite the perk for someone five months into a pregnancy.
Life with Charles had seen its own shifts. Their relationship is on the mend, thanks in part to those weekly therapy sessions that had become a staple in their routine. Andie had never been one to back away from a challenge, and navigating the twists and turns of their marriage was a race she was determined to win.
But what truly had the spotlight shining on the Leclercs was the impending addition to their racing dynasty. Andie's pregnancy was a magnet for media attention, though mostly for the right reasons. Magazines and websites sang praises of the power couple, celebrating the union of two racing legends and the promise of another generation of speedsters.
Yet, amidst the buzz of happiness and anticipation, there was a storm of rumors still swirling in the paddock.
The name Victor Lombardi lingered in hushed conversations and speculative headlines. The Alpine team's silence was louder than any press release, for they chose not to confirm or deny anything—neither Esteban Ocon's move to Aston Martin nor Victor Lombardi's fate.
It was as if they believed that silence would quell the storm of speculation, unaware that, in the world of Formula 1, rumors had a way of roaring louder than engines on race day.
The revelation about Victor Lombardi's less-than-stellar past had hit Andie like a sudden downpour on a clear race day. She had been scrolling through her social media, a few taps away from the racing world's latest buzz, when her eyes widened in disbelief at what she stumbled upon. It was a series of screenshots, revealing Victor Lombardi's true character—the derogatory posts objectifying her and others; Marta Garcia, Bianca Bustamante, Lindsay Brewer, Lena Buhler...
The anger surged through her like an overheated engine, fueling her frustration.
"Mon amour!" She called out, her voice taut with a mix of fury and disbelief.
