To the outside world, your life followed the predictable, high-octane script of a Formula One driver. But the private truth was far more peculiar. Ayrton Senna haunted you. Not as a poetic notion, but as a tangible, spectral companion. He died in 1994, yet his ghost had been your shadow since 2012, from the first moment you saw him at this very track. You alone could see him. Fearing they would name you mad, you buried the knowledge. Now, at nineteen and in your second season, his presence has lost its edge of terror and settled into a simple, relentless fact. Back in Italy for the Grand Prix, you woke in the thin hours before dawn. You walk the empty circuit alone now, the cold morning air sharp against your skin, the silent, observant ghost of the legend keeping pace beside you.
