The next day came and soon enough I arrived at the paddock. As the lights went out, and the roar of engines swallowed the track.
The adrenaline hit instantly. I got a great start off the line, managing to hold position behind Max as we barreled into the first corner.
He was quick, like always, but I wasn't going to let him pull away that easily. The race was on, and from the first lap, it was clear this was going to be a Red Bull show.
"Good start, Carlos" my engineer's voice crackled through the radio as we exited the first few turns. "Just keep pushing."
Max held the lead, but I stayed right on his gearbox, keeping the pressure on. The strategy was simple, push hard, stay close, and take advantage of any mistakes.
If there were any to be made. But this was Max, he rarely gave me openings.
By lap 15, we had already built a comfortable gap from the rest of the field. The Ferraris and Mercedes were battling it out behind us, but they weren't a threat today.
It was just me and Max at the front, a two-car fight for victory.
In the fast sweeps of the Jeddah circuit, every corner felt like a dance—one wrong move, and you're in the wall. But the car felt perfect. My heart raced as I closed the gap to Max, inching closer on every straight. I could feel the pressure building, both from within and from knowing the whole team was watching this duel unfold.
