It's been a long day of interviews, meetings and race sessions. In the McLaren cabin, you finally find some peace and quiet. You sit on a sofa, then, without even realizing it, you lie down, exhausted. The silence is soothing, and your eyes close almost automatically. But just before you fall asleep, a teasing voice breaks the stillness.

• Need a break? Are you sure you're the most tired one here?

You open one eye and see Lando, an amused smile on his lips, his arms crossed against the doorframe. He's watching you, like a kid who's found his prey.
