Charles and Monaco a story
with
an open heart and love
you all know, that has finally had happened, Charles won the Monaco grand prix on the 26th of May, in his home, his country, one dream ( i really hope he will be able to realise the other one), this the tale of : Charles and Monaco
this is the tale of a journey, a boy born and raised with the passion of Motorsport through his Dad and his friend, who quickly became his godfather, a journey of a young Monegasque boy with a dream
the same track he used to see as a kid, with his dad and his family, the same streets where he took the bus everyday to go to school, the same streets who unfortunately saw him not wining twice, prepare the tissues ,the tears will be present
that all started when Charles was a little boy, on his family balcony, watching the cars, back in the day, going around Monaco, look for the red car, dreaming one day to see himself roaring through the streets of Monaco, and obviously winning, the little sparke was presenton his little heart.
He decide to dream of being a Formula 1 driver, he started to test the joy of karting when he was only 3 and a half years old, with the help of his father's friend, the Bianchi family.
and then, he started to climb the steps, his family sacrifying everything to help him to achieve his first dream :
driving for ferrari
but unfortunately, he had to grief, twice during his career, once in 2015 when Jules Bianchi passed away after his huge crash in 2014 and in 2017 when he dad passed away :
He had to told hervé a white lie to not make him upset with him not signing in F1 yet, so he told ( , i am quoting what i heard in his interview) :
" dad i have signed for ferrari, i will drive in Formula 1 "
the dream still on until this weekend, the dream that him and his father had shared during a huge part of Charles' journey
But unfortunately, in 2021 and 2022 , he started on pole but didn't finish or start the race, due to an engine problem and a poor strategy .... it wasn't clearly his years
But, a change of team principal in the Scuderia on December 2022 , sparked something new in Charles, a glimpse of hope, a sparkle in his carreer, a want of win, specially in his home race
" Jamais deux sans trois " - unknown french saying
and yes, it was the good one, finally THE ONE, the one where everything went perfectly for him and his team, and his new race engineer Bryan Bozzi, a good car and a good race pace and a good strategy from Carlos, who "helped" charles during the weekend.
Despite the red flag, charles had maintained his mindset, for 78 laps, i don't know how you felt, but charles had brillantly stayed focus here, starting from pole, trying to manage his pace, the McLaren behind him, with Carlos maintening Both Lando and Georges Russell at bay ! ( what a race from both of them ! )
and Then, the memories came back to him, the shcool bus, the dream he shared with his dad, the ups and downs of being a driver, the team change, the red car he used to see going through the same track back in the days, the street, his brothers and his mother, his girlfriend, the whole country, the Prince Albert II and the Prince's family, every tifosi around the world, every members of both teams in Monaco and back in the factory in Maranello
and without forgetting his dad, the 2 last laps was where charles had the tears, where he told himself
fuck, not now charles
and then he crossed the line, a relief for him, for the tifosi, for the team, for everyone
we finally heard the Monegasque anthem, we finally saw him smiling, we finalyl saw him breathing from relief, even his highness felt the emotions while hugging charles
and the fiesta started during the evening
daghe charles
( let's hope for a title, another dream to fulfill, let's fight for it
