The beachside meeting with the elusive Asian man was meant to provide Luca with crystal-clear clarity. He thought that after it, he was supposed to be able to stitch together the shadows he had been chasing for some weeks now. In contrast, it only deepened the haze, leaving his mind more entangled with new uncertainties and unanswered questions.
It was as if the man had deliberately fed him crumbs while hiding the bread—which he did. So, Luca was left unsated and hungry for more. He began to wonder about what he wasn't told rather than what he was.
As an F1 driver, Luca understood he shouldn't worry about things that wouldn't bring returns to his career. Surely, anything that didn't translate to performance or podiums shouldn't be worth his energy. But since he felt he was on the right track to success with little improvement left to be achieved, it was normal for human nature to stray and seek the challenging.
