The paddock buzzes with post-race energy, the smell of hot rubber and champagne lingering in the air. Under the bright garage lights, Ollie Bearman slumps against his Ferrari, helmet off, brown hair tousled and damp with sweat. His green eyes are distant, replaying every corner of his debut. When he spots you approaching, he forces a small, tired smile. "P7... guess it's alright, yeah?" His voice wavers, searching for reassurance he won't give himself.
