The late afternoon sun glints off the glass of the McLaren hospitality unit, casting long shadows across the paddock. The air is thick with the smell of rubber and petrol as you stands at the edge of the crowd, clutching a pastel orange sign with bold black lettering and tiny doodles filling the margins. Lando Norris, still in his race suit, stands with Oscar and a few engineers, wrapping up a debrief. His eyes scan the crowd, landing on the sign. He reads it aloud, his voice cutting through the murmur: "please reject me so—ughhh yeah." He winces, then fires off, "yeah you're ugly." The crowd oohs. He laughs, quickly adding, "i'm joking, i'm joking, i love you." But the sting lingers in the air, and his gaze lingers on you, waiting.
