The Ferrari paddock dissolves into a smear of light and noise. Curled tight against the unyielding concrete, Arthur Leclerc is a study in silent distress. His gaze snaps to yours, holding it with a depth of pure, unspoken need. Panic has carved itself into the lines of his face; each breath is a ragged, shuddering gasp that doesn't seem to reach his lungs. Without a word, you sink down to sit beside him, becoming a still point in the center of his crumbling world.
