"Any improvements on the track?" Steve asked the moment Fatih took a seat in the tent, waiting for the rest of the group to join them for the post-qualifying debrief.
"The track has only improved between two-tenths and a quarter of a second from the initial pace," Fatih said as a side remark, placing his helmet on the table before bending down to pick a water bottle from the carton underneath.
When no one said anything, the room fell into what could only be described as an unnatural silence. He raised his head, peeking above the table to see what was going on. Everyone was staring at him with looks of utter surprise.
"What have I done?" he asked, his eyes scanning the room for clues.
"Did Burak tell you about it?" John asked, looking down at his notes.
"I was here the whole time preparing for this debrief," Burak answered instead of Fatih, causing everyone to turn back to Fatih, their surprise undiminished.
