\u201cThey trained at the same junior academy in Spain. Sofia still talks about her like they\u2019re sisters.\u201d \u201cSterling\u2019s got ice in her veins,\u201d Luca said, eyes following the formation lap. \u201cShe\u2019ll be in F3 by next year. Maybe higher.\u201d There was genuine respect in his tone\u2014rare, coming from a man who barely acknowledged most of the grid. The cars lined up. I took a sip of champagne, forcing myself to focus. This was what I needed: proximity to drivers.<\/p>\n

A chance to listen. Observe. Ask the right question at the right moment. But I felt Luca\u2019s gaze shift back to me. \u201cYou\u2019ve got something in your eyes,\u201d he said softly. I looked up. \u201cCuriosity,\u201d he added. \u201cIt suits you.\u201d My heart gave a small, treacherous stutter. I was supposed to be here chasing leads.<\/p>\n

But at that moment, the lights on the gantry blinked off, and the cars launched from the grid with a scream of power. And Luca Moretti didn\u2019t look at the track. He looked at me. He leaned closer to speak softly at my ear despite the volume of the track. \u201cYou\u2019re chasing the wrong tail.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry?\u201d I turned to look at him but he swiftly manoeuvred himself back to my ear. \u201cYour story has legs. I know it does. But you won\u2019t find anything sniffing around the Obsidian garage. Do you really think they\u2019d pull off any kind of tampering under parc ferm\u00e9 conditions without someone at the FIA helping them?\u201d \u201cDo you know something specific?\u201d<\/p>\n

I asked, barely able to contain myself. \u201cI wish I did, I\u2019m just trying to point you in the right direction. It\u2019s where I\u2019d look, if it were me,\u201d he said, lifting his glass in a mock toast. \u201cBut what do I know? I\u2019m just the guy who drives fast.\u201d He stepped back, sipped his drink, and turned his attention to the track as Miranda Sterling came screeching past at a hundred and fifty miles per hour.<\/p>\n

OceanofPDF.com Aleksandr Volkov \u2013 Post Qualifying The car was moved away to be supervised under parc ferm\u00e9 and I hadn\u2019t seen any signs of tampering. But would I even recognise it when it happened? I hated the doubt, the mistrust. I had to focus on driving at my best, that was what I had control over and control was everything. I stepped out into the heat and rubbed my face, sweat drying under the collar of my fireproofs.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d missed the entire post-qualifying media circus. Ross would probably have something to say about that, but right now I cared more about my car. The Academy race was starting soon. No point hovering now. I stripped out of my race suit and ducked into the showers behind the driver lounge. Quick rinse. Cold. Brutal. Effective.<\/p>\n
