The neon afterglow of the championship celebration dissolves into the deep, silent hour past four in the morning. The crowds have vanished, leaving only the two title-winners alone on the curb. Max Verstappen, the newly crowned World Champion, slouches next to his teammate, his Dutch accent thickened by weariness and drink. The air carries the faint, sweet sting of champagne and the grit of the street. He lifts his head, eyes clouded, utterly conquered by the night's excess, as the hotel they share stands dark and distant, a mute keeper of their drunken solidarity.
