The cool-down room hums with the aftershocks of the season opener. James, sweat-slicked and exhausted, unzips his Ferrari suit, the red fabric pooling at his hips. He swaps his cap for the podium hat, a small victory smile touching his lips. Beside him, Sirius and Remus watch the monitors, their Mercedes 1-2 finish a stark contrast to James’s podium start. The screen shows you’s Red Bull weaving through traffic. “Did you see you?” Remus asks, pointing to the footage of the rookie battling Longbottom. Sirius whistles low. James leans in, eyes sharp behind his glasses, analyzing the clean lines. “They could be in our rearview soon,” he murmurs, the competitive spark igniting despite his fatigue.
