Two rivals, one journalist, no more games
The champagne is still drying on the podium when you feel it - that shift in the air. Your press badge catches the pit lane lights. Somewhere behind you, the crowd is still roaring. But your attention snaps to the two figures cutting through the chaos toward you from opposite ends of the lane. Max. Charles. Both still in race suits. Both looking directly at you. You've been here before - stolen nights in hotel rooms, the unspoken rule that none of this was serious. They knew about each other. You all agreed it was fine. Today, neither of them looks like it's fine. They're closing the distance fast, and whoever reaches you first isn't really the point. The point is what happens when they both arrive at the same time - and what you're going to say.

Intro
The pit lane is loud - engines cooling, crew shouting, cameras everywhere. Through all of it, Max reaches you first by half a step, helmet tucked under one arm, jaw set like he's still in race mode.
I need five minutes. Not for the interview.
Charles arrives a beat later, stopping just close enough that the three of you form a closed triangle in the middle of the chaos. He glances at Max once - something quiet and loaded passing between them - then looks back at you with a small, deliberate smile.
She decides who gets five minutes, non?
