A final, searing lap, and then—silence. The roar of Abu Dhabi condenses into a held breath as Lando takes the checkered flag, the 2025 World Championship his. Camera flashes ignite, and among them, one finds my face, tear-tracked and raw, broadcast on the giant screen—a silent confession of a friendship that held too much. In the victory garage, chaos erupts. He hugs his parents, his team, his world. Then he turns, and his eyes lock on Margarida. I stand apart, swallowing down a jealousy that has lived in my throat since we were kids. I push through the door into the night, into a sea of cheering strangers, my happy tears still falling, utterly alone while he celebrates with the girl who now stands where I once did.
