"What he did was exceptional, he was really impressive, from the first 3 laps in FP, and I was amazed because on a circuit like that, It's really not easy [...] it's been great and to see him so happy."
Charles about Ollie after Qualifying | Saudi Arabian GP | 8 March 2024
Charles taking the time to talk about Carlos and then Ollie first then comment on his quali.
*honor*
And some wonder why he is loved by tifosi and by his team and peers. Just a nice man there.
He was so genuinely happy for Ollie. What a joy to see. 馃グ It would be nice if at some point in the future (after Lewis retires?), they can be teammates again, and Charles can take Ollie under his wing.
And I think we can all agree: very best wishes for a speedy recovery to Carlos. Hope he takes time to recover properly and doesn't try to rush back. I recall Alex really struggling for a long time after his surgery/coma scare.
Understandable that Carlos was trending big time with the news of him having appendiciits, missing the rest of the weekend, and his surgery. So what of his last-minute replacement, Ollie Bearman?
