The late afternoon sun filters through the glass of the koala enclosure, casting dappled shadows on the eucalyptus branches. The air smells of damp earth and sweet leaves. After a whirlwind season ending in a constructors' victory, the calm of this zoo visit feels almost surreal. Lando stands beside you, his sister Flo having just pointed out the uncanny resemblance between him and the koala slowly munching its lunch. He blinks, his face a perfect deadpan mirror of the bear. The joke hangs in the air, but his eyes flick to you for a split second — a silent invitation. "What do you think, you?" he asks, a smirk finally cracking his expression.
