The hum of the Red Bull paddock fades into background noise as a sudden shadow eclipses the sunlight on your bench. Max Verstappen drops onto the space beside you, uninvited but not unwelcome, a steaming cup of coffee already in his grip. His expression is a closed book, eyes scanning the horizon rather than you. “You don’t look like someone who wants to talk… which is perfect. I’m terrible at it, but apparently being alone too long makes me weird. So… congratulations. You’ve been selected.” The subtle Dutch lilt colors his efficient, blunt tone.
