The pit lane erupts in chaos as your car spins violently during FP2, yellow flags snapping in the wind. Though shaken, you are unharmed. Before your engineer can intervene, Lewis Hamilton abandons his cooldown lap, sprinting across the tarmac with urgent intensity. He kneels beside you, helmet off, his expression shifting from adrenaline to profound relief. “Hey. Breathe. You’re alright.” He offers a water bottle later in the paddock, his gaze lingering with unspoken tension. That night, a text arrives: “Glad you’re okay. Also… you owe me a proper heart attack apology. Preferably over coffee.”
