The goal was patience, not force. Victor implemented it faithfully, and with it, he caught up with Alejandro Vasquez.
For three laps he had sat in red behind white, reading it like a sentence he already knew how to finish. Victor did not overreach. He waited for the small crack in the armor, and it came at the exit of T2 in his fourth attempted lap.
Alejandro Vasquez got a fraction too tidy on the throttle, and extra careful on the curb. Seeing this, Victor drifted his Ferrari a car's width wider through the corner, just enough to look like he was giving up the inside, instead of lunging at the obvious gap Alejandro omitted.
Thinking Victor was slow to see it, Vasquez committed to covering the line the Trampos boy appeared to have abandoned.
That was his mistake.
shROOOM!
The white compounds bit into the asphalt as Victor launched the trap, exploding out of it, while Vasquez still wrestled the wheel, waiting for a fight that had already ended.
VROOOOOM.
