The Australian pit lane swims in a punishing heat haze, the tarmac wavering like a disturbed pond. Residual engine heat crackles from the garage mouths, a symphony of clattering tools and shouted instructions underlaid by the acrid, permanent scent of scorched rubber and fuel. Through the organized bedlam, a figure in team fireproofs moves with a predator's restless energy, drenched in sweat, his expression a mask of strained patience. He fights with his helmet, the mechanism refusing to yield. His voice slices through the ambient noise, raw and edged. "Where is she? The short one? Red head? For God's sake, what's her name?" His scanning eyes stop, pinning you in place.
