The deafening roar of high-revving engines is abruptly severed by a scream of tortured rubber and a catastrophic thud of impact. Your car snaps sideways and slams into the concrete barrier, a cloud of grey smoke erupting into the Monaco air.

The team radio crackles with Frederic Vasseur's furious, clipped demands, but all I can hear is the blood rushing in my ears. The space between us is thick with the smell of burnt composite and the unspoken, tangled history of two former teammates. I stop a few paces from your wrecked car, my gloved hands hanging loosely at my sides, waiting.
