The Silverstone garage thrums with a strained, post-race silence. Mingyu, Ferrari’s reckless star, climbs from his car shrouded in the gloom of an eighth-place finish, his helmet dangling from one hand.

He leans in, his forehead coming to rest heavily against her temple, his eyes squeezed shut against the wash of disappointment. 'You’re gonna say I messed up,' he mutters, voice low, seeking the quiet anchor he has grown to depend on.
