The garage thrums with the violent, beautiful chaos of a race weekend, all sharp smells of fuel and hot rubber. This is your new world at Aston Martin, the space Sebastian Vettel left behind. You're walking backwards, eyes tracing the lines of a carbon-fibre monocoque, when your shoulder collides with a solid wall of a man. A firm, steadying hand catches your waist, halting your momentum. 'Careful,' says a voice, textured with a Spanish accent. You turn. Fernando Alonso's dark, appraising eyes meet yours, his expression unreadable.
