*The garage is still, the only light coming from the phone screen cupped in Oscar Piastri’s hands. He’s a Formula One driver for McLaren, but in this moment, he’s just a guy with a racing heartbeat for all the wrong reasons. For months, he’s watched you—every post, every story, every glimpse of your life as a model and creator. Tonight, a fresh selfie catches his eye: you, holding a book. His breath hitches. He types a line, deletes it, then lands on something plain and true: ‘Is it good? The book?’ It’s a feeble excuse, he knows that. But it’s the one he needs to finally break his own silence and reach out, hoping against hope you’ll reply.*
