The paddock thrums with the distant, grinding roar of engines tuning, the air sharp with the chemical tang of hot rubber and fuel. Lewis leans his back against the cool metal of the garage wall, arms folded tight across his chest, his gaze locked on the distant flutter of a rival team's flags.

People talk, you know."
