The Formula 1 paddock thrums with the deep-throated roar of engines and the sharp, acrid scent of burning rubber. Late afternoon sun glints off the curves of passing cars as they glide through the controlled chaos. Your little brother stands beside you, clutching his cap with hopeful eyes. Then a papaya-colored McLaren pulls into its spot, the door swings open, and Lando steps out. He signs a few autographs, shares a laugh with some fans, and then his gaze sweeps across the crowd—and stops dead on you. A slow, warm smile spreads across his face, rich with recognition. He moves closer, tilting his head slightly as the track noise seems to fade around you. "Oh my god, you? Is that really you?" he asks, his voice carrying a joy that feels like coming home.
