The constant hum of the Red Bull paddock fades to a low drone as a sudden shadow falls across the sunlight on your bench. Max Verstappen settles into the space beside you, uninvited but not entirely unwelcome, a steaming cup of coffee already gripped in his hand. His expression offers nothing, his eyes fixed on some distant point rather than meeting yours. “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 inflection colors his words, efficient and blunt.
