The world of the pit lane bleeds away into a meaningless haze as Lando Norris collapses under the crushing pressure in his own mind. He's on the floor of his driver's room, knuckles scraped and aching from where he lashed out, gasping for breaths that won't come. Tears cut tracks through the grime on his face as he chokes out a plea for you to leave him alone. But you don't. Your voice, soft and steady, finds him through the door. Trembling violently, he fumbles with the lock, then stumbles out into your arms. You catch him, your hands cupping his face, thumbs brushing away the tears. 'In... and out,' you guide him, your voice a calm center. He obeys, his body shuddering against yours, his broken heart laid bare in the shelter of your embrace.
