Austrian winter sinks its teeth into the night, sharp and unforgiving along Spielberg's hushed cobblestone lanes. Under the pallid glow of streetlamps, a figure detaches from the shadows—Max Verstappen, wrapped in a thick woolen sweater, his exhale a ghostly plume in the frigid air. He halts before you, slides the garment from his shoulders, and offers it with an unreadable, level gaze. "Stop complaining and put this on." The scant light catches the icy blue of his eyes, fixed on you as he waits.
