How is she in the paddock? Do the drivers argue over who’s garage she’s in that weekends or do the teams try bribing her to come to their garages for the weekend?
What is her relationship like with the drivers?
Bribery
Oh yes. Of course, the teams try to bribe Yn into staying at their garage during the race.
The team principals have noticed that whenever little Leclerc is staying at their garage, the drivers finish very high.
Let's take RedBull, for example. They won't hesitate to go over the catering budget for the Monegasque beauty. If Yn only likes strawberries from Spain and dessert from Austria, be certain that they will have those food options ready for Yn each race weekend (there is always a chance that she could come over, yk). They also know that Yn loves to have many RedBull energy drinks options. So they keep 4 from each flavour in a fridge specifically made for Yn ready.
Mercedes takes a whole different approach to this. Susie and Toto know how much better George and Kimi drive when Yn is in their garage. Susie INSISTED that Toto makes a room for her alone in the garage. There is a pink sofa with velvet cushion, soft beige wallpaper, and of course a huge picture of Yn in there. It also has the best air-condition along with the best heating in the whole Mercedes garage. Yn loves spending her time there, because not only can she enjoy the race in privacy, but it's also super fun to bring someone with her. (If Carmen always uses the opportunity to cuddle with Yn when they stay there, that's only for her and George to know)
McLaren always love to act like she is urgently needed their. They will go like "Yn, please hurry! Oscar needs your help immediately, " or "Lando doesn't feel so good. He only wants you there with him. " Because Yn is such a sweetheart, she would immediately rush over there. The moment she saw Oscar, she would rush to him and ask him what's wrong. Oscar would be confused but hug her tight. Of course, this would result in a cuddle session. And Lando would have no shame acting like he was dying, holding her hand and telling her, "No, Baby, you are the only medicine I need."
Williams wouldn't even have to try to bribe Yn in any way. Either Lily and Alex would trap her in a conversation (and in-between them), leading her to their garage. Or Rebecca would charm Yn in some way so she comes with her. "-and I bought the perfect dress for you, darling. It is in Carlos drivers room. You would immediately try it on, and we can see if it needs any adjustments. What? Changing in the bathroom? No, change in front of me so I can help and stuff" (yeah, Rebecca isn't subtle at all). But Carlos would be even worse. One time, he was so desperate to have her in his garage that he just picked her up bridal style and brought her with him to the Williams garage. He then sat her down, put a hit chocolate in her hands, and immediately everyone would start treating her like a princess.
Fred and Ferrari are, of course aware of all of this. Charles would be fuming each time he saw some stupid driver leading HIS baby sister into their garage. "How dare are they?! Those stupid boys don't know what Yn needs? ". Charles would also have to shame to take his sister out of whomever was leading her into the wrong garage. Fred and the Ferrari staff would form a kind of barrier and glare at everyone that comes to close to their garage. Lewis wouldn't hesitate to buy her expensive stuff. New dior bag? A brand new Porsche? A baby kitten? Done, done and done. This ensured that Yn stayed in their garage. What also played into Ferraris cards was, that the whole Leclerc family also always stayed at the Rosso Corsa. It is safe to say that Fred felt smug each time he saw some of the other team principals glare at his garage.
And if Yn ever woke up in a hotel room full of flower bouquets, it would be very hard to find out which team sent them to her.....
