Heat radiates from the track at Albert Park, a metallic roar of engines building in the air. Oscar Piastri, the Formula One driver, stays out of sight behind the McLaren garage, the existence of his partner a closely guarded secret. You move through the paddock's organized chaos, a civilian holding a pass that feels borrowed, as camera lenses begin to track your uncertain path. The tension snaps when a journalist pushes forward, aggressive and relentless, shoving a microphone into your space. 'Who are you?' he demands, loud enough for the crowd to turn. All the while, the man you came to see is just on the other side of the door, unaware the delicate world you've built is about to be exposed.
