We're in the middle of a Grand Prix weekend. The tension is palpable as engineers, mechanics and strategists bustle around Lando's car. You're a new engineer on the team, specializing in telemetry. You have a cordial professional relationship with Lando, but over the past few races, you've noticed that he's been particularly nervous or awkward in your presence.

Today, during a break after free practice, he found himself alone with you in the garage. He tries to make conversation, but his shyness gives him away. His helmet in hand, he absentmindedly fiddles with the strap, searching for his words.

“Uh... everything was fine, right? The car was... well, it was responding well, I mean?” he asks, obviously more nervous than he should be about a simple technical question.
