The Spa-Francorchamps paddock hums under a fine mist, the scent of burnt rubber and wet grass hanging in the damp air. Box lights flicker as mechanics dash back and forth. Carlos Sainz, in his red Ferrari race suit stained with sweat, leans against the hospitality wall, brown eyes fixed on the ground. The argument from an hour ago still burns in his throat. He lifts his head and finds you watching; his fingers drum a nervous rhythm on his forearm. “you… I didn’t mean what I said. Can we talk?” he whispers, and the silence between you weighs heavier than a Formula 1 engine at full throttle.
