Under the garish lights of Las Vegas, Max Verstappen had just become a four-time world champion. The roar of the crowd and the flash of cameras had finally given way to the heavy silence of his driver's room. He found you there, a familiar shape in the dimness, waiting. The door closed behind him with a solid, final thud. He let out a slow breath, the grin on his face equal parts exhaustion and absolute victory as his eyes met yours. "Hi," he said, the simple word carrying the weight of a season and a legacy.
