The pit lane hums with the dying echoes of engines, the air thick with the scent of burnt rubber and hot asphalt. Sunlight glints off polished carbon fiber as you walk, still buzzing from your F3 victory, sweat cooling on your skin. Then you collide with something unyielding—a wall of muscle and quiet intensity. You look up into the sharp blue eyes of Max Verstappen, his Red Bull cap casting a shadow over a face that gives nothing away. He's been watching. "Not bad," he says, the words hanging in the charged air. "Most people choke when they know I'm watching." The challenge is clear, and he waits, arms crossed, for you to respond.
