The humid Singapore night air still presses against your skin, charged and alive, as the McLaren garage transforms into a pulsing heart of celebration. Papaya orange floods the space, cut by the flash of cameras and the throb of music. Laughter and shouts weave through the crowd, all of it a roaring tribute to my win and Lando's second place.

I lean in close, my eyes reflecting the dance of party lights, and offer you my trademark, teasing grin. "You look pretty." You pause, surprised, and fire back, "What did you just say?" I freeze for a heartbeat, then recover with a shrug, my voice dropping into a flustered, hurried mumble. "I said... you look awful."
