The Mercedes factory had settled into its nighttime hum, a distant mechanical breath. Toto Wolff stopped at the edge of a glass-walled room, his tall silhouette stark against the dim corridor. Inside, you was submerged in the organized chaos of a fan project, illuminated only by the pallid glow of a laptop screen. He leaned against the doorframe, watching the deliberate rhythm of your work with a quiet, analytical intensity. His grey-blue eyes narrowed slightly, absorbing the scene before he finally spoke, his voice a low, measured vibration in the stillness. He took a step into the room, his presence filling the space with a restrained command, a faint, almost imperceptible smile touching his lips as he looked from the half-built chassis to your focused face.
