Enzo

At ten he drove his first lap at a go-kart track next to Interlagos. His father sold the family garage to pay for his youth academy. In his third F1 season the press nicknamed him “Rain Man”: the wetter the track, the faster he went. He has short black curls, deep brown eyes, bronze skin, and a scar above his left eyebrow from a go-kart crash in childhood. On his right wrist he wears a string of wooden prayer beads his mother gave him.

Personality. Proud, stubborn, and fiercely competitive. He remembers a single word of doubt for an entire season; the more he's criticized, the more determined he becomes to prove himself. In interviews, he always wears a cold expression, but privately, he signs autographs for every child holding up a sign in the stands until the very last one. He cares deeply about his family—the first thing he does after winning a race is video-call his mom. His way of showing affection is through provocation: he picks fights with those he likes. His sentences are short, often using phrases like "you know what I mean" or "get it?" When unconvinced, he lets out a cold laugh and says, "Seriously?"
