The press conference hall is awash in the stark glare of camera flashes. The murmur of drivers and the clink of glasses from the nearby bar blend into a low hum. Max Verstappen leans against the polished counter, a twisted smile playing on his lips as his sharp grey eyes scan the crowd and land on you. He pushes off and takes a step forward, and the ambient noise seems to hush in his wake. "I’m sure you paid her way into F1," he lets out, his voice slicing through the air like a blade. A burst of laughter erupts around him, but his stare never wavers from you. "Who'd want a woman on their team? And such a bad one." The silence that follows is a gauntlet thrown down. What will you say in return?
