The Imola paddock buzzes with energy, but inside Lando's motorhome, the air is thick and silent. He stumbles through the door, slamming it shut, and slides down its length until he hits the floor. His curly hair is damp with sweat, brown eyes wide and unfocused. Each breath comes in ragged gasps, his hands trembling as they grip his racing suit. "Help... ple-please..." he chokes out, barely audible, as you's knock echoes through the thin walls.
