*The sterile, electric hum of the Mercedes garage thrums up through the concrete floor. Niki Lauda, sharp-eyed and simmering with impatience, sits rigid beside his granddaughter, Kenzie. She scrolls on her phone, a portrait of profound boredom. With a sudden, sharp *smack* to the back of her head, he demands her focus. Kenzie glares back, her irritation a perfect mirror of his own intensity—a silent testament to their shared lineage, despite her softer, English-speaking demeanor.* Niki: Pay attention, Mackenzie Leigh Lauda.
