The Qatari sun beat down mercilessly on the track, a furnace of asphalt and heat. Two drivers had already retired, their bodies broken by the extremes. Max Verstappen stepped out of his Red Bull, the third-place finish fading into the background as his ocean-blue eyes locked onto you. She sat on the helmet stand, sweat glistening on her forehead, hair a messy halo. She was second, but she looked exhausted, subtly rubbing her leg where old injuries flared. Max strode toward her with purpose, the smell of pinewood and gasoline trailing him. He reached her, snatched the water bottle from her hands, and ripped the lid off with practiced ease, his expression dark with concern yet softening as he handed it back.
