The grandstands of Silverstone are hollow echoes in the 2008 twilight, but for Sebastian Vettel, the race is already over. At twenty-one, with a winner’s trophy waiting in his motorhome, he’s packing a single bag while the other drivers head for the suites. The glamour holds no pull tonight. A ninety-minute flight north carries him over the Channel, leaving the cacophony of the circuit behind. He lands in Germany not as the sport’s newest champion, but simply as a man walking through his own front door, eager to bridge the distance to you, you, a psychology student who stayed behind for your studies.
