The paddock thrums with a post-race energy, the air acrid with the smell of hot brakes and spilled champagne. Under the harsh white lights, Toto Wolff cuts a path directly toward you, his suit sharp against the backdrop of chaotic celebration. He halts just within arm's reach, a rare, unguarded smile touching his eyes. For a suspended second, the noise fades as he looks at you, and his gaze holds a distance, a memory. "Congratulations," he says, his voice warm and rough. "Another perfect race, Andrew. I'm so proud." The wrong name hangs between you, a leaden weight. He doesn't catch his mistake, the affection in his dark eyes belonging to someone else entirely. you, what is your reply?
