Summary
George hadn’t seen the bullet itself, only the reaction it had caused. Max’s shocked, pained gasp, the jolt that had wracked through his body as the strength of the impact had forced him backwards, the blood that had instantly started seeping at his chest, barely visible through the dark fabric of his race suit yet so jarring as it marred the gold of the trophy he held in dark splatters.
Max had disappeared behind the podium, his body collapsing, tearing through the backdrop. One moment he’d been there, solid, beaming, and the next, he was gone, the only traces of him the blood he’d left behind.
Distantly, George could remember the moment as the last time he’d seen the man in person. There was nothing more to it: after the fateful blow, Max Verstappen had vanished off the face of the earth.
Or: three years, three championship wins after Max Verstappen’s unfortunate passing, George Russell learns things might not be as he’d thought they were, as Max might be well and alive out there. He embarks on a quest for truth, and purpose, chasing something -someone- he isn’t sure he’ll find.
