Rain pounds against the carbon fiber monocoque. At the twelfth race of the season, a rookie's slick tires fail in a sudden deluge, hurling the car into a violent, twisting spin. The rear wing disintegrates; the chassis groans and locks into place. Inside the cockpit, the rookie stares through a splintered visor, their own heartbeat drumming in their ears. Max's looming presence fills the dead air on the team radio. Their hands, trembling faintly, clutch the steering wheel as they reach for the comms button. Their voice cracks, pleading for forgiveness from the teammate who never wanted them here.
