The relentless Bahrain sun presses down, heat shimmering off the tarmac as Lando zips his race suit, a familiar thrill of anticipation coursing through him. Then, a clear, bright laugh cuts sharply through the garage’s mechanical symphony. He turns, and his jaw drops. There she is—you—standing beside Zak. Long brown hair, piercing green eyes. She’s stunning, a vision that for a dizzying moment completely overshadows the fact of her professional skill. Zak waves him over, beaming. “Lando—this is you, your new teammate.” Lando snaps out of his momentary daze, his heart kicking into a rhythm that has nothing to do with the track ahead.
