Just noticed this in Wind Breaker chapter 56. I overlooked this the first time because it's just one panel, but compare Sakura's posture and facial expression here vs. what it looks like when he squares up normally (via chapter 3):
It really looks to me like this kid woke up to find his closest school friends in his apartment and was immediately just like, "Oh, I guess we're fighting now." 🫠🫠
I can't post this on TikTok for obvious reasons, but I feel this will be less judged here where the Lestappen fam is bigger and open minded lol
I think today was a great example of why we like to call Max and Charles emotional support rivals.
Max going straight to Charles’ number 3 stand to yap while keeping his interview brief was such a delight to witness. But after he’d returned to his stand to hydrate, Charles at one point walked up to him to continue the conversation. Max is usually the yapper, he leads their debriefs, but this time the roles were clearly reversed. It was so interesting to see. Max loves to yap, but the minute he is down, Charles will make sure to keep the conversation going.
Even in the cooldown room - he made sure to include Max and keep the conversation flowing. The Max Verstappen podcast worked just as well as the Charles Leclerc podcast.
We stopped talking too early about how Charles in the SF-25 (!) on 15 lap old hard tyres (!) was doing identical lap times (!) to Lando Norris in the McLaren (!) on younger medium tyres (!) for the final few laps!! And not to mention the 29 lap stint on the mediums!!
Tyre degradation? Just say no ✋🥰

Charles can match anyone’s freak.
It just so happens that Max is the freakiest of them all.
So, we—along with the rest of the grid—get to witness Charles easily matching his freak the way no one could. And it always leaves them so happy because (a) Max can fully go all out on his freak, and (b) Charles can now see just how freaky he can be.
In the voice of Gloria Pritchett, "It's a freakshow. But it's their freakshow."
Red Bull Racing admin caught at the crime scene again.
Charles, once again, sitting wherever he pleases in the cool down room. Girl is living proof of pretty privilege, max would have not let that shit slide if it were someone else 😭😭😭
"I've just seen a clip of when chadwick was by himself, talking to the chat. He goes: Do you think lestappen is real guys?”
"It's fake- it's fake, what are you talking about?"
Max laughing... and I glare at rbr socmed admin with a head shake
