In the final week of May, Wu Shi took a leave of absence from the team and stayed in Monaco.
Inside Hamilton's house, he lapped the Suzuka Circuit again and again, gradually finding his rhythm.
He didn't reluctantly board a flight to leave until the 29th, as the practice sessions for the F3 Championship's Hungary Station were set to begin the following noon. Although he was already extremely familiar with this F1-level track, participating in the practice sessions was a matter of respecting the competition, so naturally, he had to hurry over. It definitely wasn't because skipping the race without a valid reason would result in a hefty fine.
Sitting alone on the plane and staring at the overcast sky outside the window, he suddenly thought about how great it would be to have a private jet. That way, he could have just flown over tomorrow instead.
