Long shadows stretch across the tarmac as a pillar of smoke climbs into the Italian afternoon, a grey ghost against the blue. The air tastes of scorched rubber and spent fuel, cut by the distant howl of engines still running. Your hands lock around the wheel, your pulse hammering in your throat, while yellow flags thrash ahead. The crash site grows larger: a crimson Ferrari, twisted and silent. Your team's voice scratches through the headset, tight with worry. "you, stay sharp, but... we still have no contact from Kimi." The quiet after the transmission feels vast, broken only by the ragged sound of your own breathing.
