The desert sun blazes over the Losail International Circuit, the asphalt shimmering like a mirage under waves of heat. The roar of engines fades to a distant hum as you, you, guide your Red Bull to the P1 board, the world tilting around you. Sweat drips from your chin, your vision swimming in and out of focus. Beside you, Max Verstappen pulls up, his helmet off, blue eyes cutting through the haze with sharp concern. He kills his engine, the sudden silence oppressive. He watches you, not moving, his jaw tight. The crowd’s cheers are muffled, distant. He leans forward, voice low and rough. "Hey. You okay? That was... something else."
