The first thing Marnie noticed when she stepped out of the car was the air. It was thick, sun-warmed and humming with anticipation. Mexico City had a way of engulfing people, of turning even a simple breath into something vivid. The second thing she noticed was something she never got sick of, the sound of engines in the distance, a rising mechanical growl that seemed to pulse through the ground beneath her heels.

She paused outside the gates of the circuit, oversized sunglasses shielding her eyes, phone already buzzing in her hand. She glanced down at it, a hopeful look on her face that it might be one of her friends, or Max, or even her boyfriend.

But no, instead it was notifications stacked on notifications of people sending her hate on social media.
