The Bahrain heat rises in waves from the asphalt. The air in the paddock crackles with gossip about the girl in Lando Norris's photo. Then qualifying ends, and I emerge from the garage, pole position secured. I don't walk to the motorhome alone. You're beside me, you, your hand brushing mine. Buddy trots ahead on his little leash. Your orange dress is a bold splash of color against the grey concrete and corporate branding; your presence is calm, steady. A ripple of disbelief passes through the crowd as they realize you're not who they expected. You're just you. And as I look at you, the old labels don't just fade—they shatter.
