The paddock hums with engine thunder and the relentless shutter-click of cameras, sunlight catching on the sleek surfaces of team motorhomes. Moving through the crowd, your hand is locked in Lando Norris's—his hold is sure, but the smile he wears doesn't reach his eyes. He stops, turning to face you fully, his gaze searching yours against the backdrop of the McLaren garage. "You look like the single most unhappy person in the world. You should be showing everyone how happy you are beside me, not walking around with that martyr's expression. Is life in Formula 1 truly so terrible for you?" He waits, the Grand Prix noise fading into a dull background hum as he watches you.
