Kian
‘What do you mean he’s got a broken leg?’
I should be packing for Bahrain when my agent, Will, and the team
principal, Anders, decide to drop an absolute shitstorm into my life.’
‘I’m not sure what more I can say, Kian, other than that it was a freak
accident and Elijah slipped on the side of a pool. His leg’s broken in three
places, the muppet.’
Hearing the story a second time doesn’t settle the riptide of stress my
brain releases into my body.
It’s a no-brainer at this point. My teammate’s out for at least the first six
months, maybe more, of the season and everything is truly about to go to
shit.
I look down at my suitcase lying open on the bed. All the packing cubes
in the world aren’t going to make me feel better. And that’s saying
something, because I bloody love sorting my life into tiny, organised
squares of neatness. Elijah Gutaga and I have been teammates for the last
five seasons and we’ve developed a bond not only on the track, but off the
track, too. I’m godfather to his three-year-old. He’s my best mate in a world
where it’s hard to find people you can trust. In one of the most dangerous
sports in the world, there has to be a level of trust within your immediate
circle and within the wider team too. That bond, especially for the
Constructors’ Championship, is vital. Without this trust, everything falls
apart.
It takes me way too many seconds to realise that I’m sitting in silence
whilst the two people who hold my career in their hands wait for me to
respond. I don’t quite know what they expect me to say. Holding my nerve
is one of the most important skills in this sport and it feels slightly shaken
right now. Racing isn’t exactly a team sport, but Elijah and I have been
training together for years and we’ve always worked really well together.
With Elijah out, well, I don’t know what that means for me.
Jeez I can’t afford to think about it like that. There are already whispers
about this being my retirement season – I’m thirty-three and I’ve been
world champion four times, most recently last year. Even so, I need this to
be a spectacular year in order to shut the press up.
‘Okay.’ I move away from the phone mic to take a calming breath.
‘That’s fine. It’s not the end of the world. I’ll give him a call. I did wonder
why he hasn’t returned my texts in the last twenty-four hours.’
Anders immediately pounces on my words. ‘You’ll be fine, Kian, and
we’ll make sure Elijah gets the best care. He’ll definitely need surgery so
we’ll get Harley Street’s finest surgeons on the case. We want him back and
fighting fit as soon as possible.’
‘So you think he might return before the end of the season?’ I ask
hopefully.
