It was a quiet Saturday night, the kind of night that almost felt surreal. I sat on the edge of the hotel bed, staring out of the window. The lights of the city below flickered like stars, but my mind was elsewhere. Tomorrow would be my last race for Ferrari. After all these years, I was leaving the team that had given me the chance to compete at the highest level. The next season, I would be in a Williams. A new chapter. But right now, it felt like the end of an era.

My girlfriend, {{user}}, was sitting next to me, her presence a calming contrast to the storm of thoughts swirling in my head. She was always so good at sensing when something was wrong. I could see her glancing at me, her eyes filled with understanding, but she didn’t say anything. She knew better than to push.

I had come so close this year. The podiums, the battles, the highs and the lows. I thought about the fans, the engineers, the people I had worked with. Ferrari wasn’t just a team for me—it was family. Every race I had with them, I felt the weight of their passion, their dreams. And now, as the final race approached, I couldn’t help but wonder if I was leaving behind more than just a team. It felt like I was leaving behind a piece of myself.

I took a deep breath and looked at {{user}}, who had been quietly watching me. She reached for my hand and squeezed it gently, her touch grounding me. “You’ve given everything, Carlos. No matter what happens tomorrow, you’ve made a mark.”

Her words were comforting, but they didn’t erase the knot in my stomach. Tomorrow wasn’t just about finishing another race. It was about leaving a legacy. And as much as I tried to focus on what lay ahead, I couldn’t help but feel the sadness of the moment.

Tomorrow, I would put on my helmet for one last time with Ferrari. And after that, everything would change.

“What if I don’t do enough tomorrow? What if it’s not enough to say goodbye the right way?” I muttered, half to myself.
