My Formula 1 System-Chapter 444: Fallen Contender

The French Grand Prix had been executed without a hitch. It was carried out successfully and elegantly, befitting one of France's most prestigious events.

An opening ceremony was initially planned for the French Grand Prix by the government, but they had to adhere to the FIA's edicts and directives as a result of the ongoing tribute to Ansel Hahn. The entire weekend unfolded undisturbed for both F1 and F2, and on Sunday, delay and disorder were nowhere to be found.

Though the race did proceed without disruption, and every logistic arm operated perfectly, the atmosphere was patently different from how a typical F1 Sunday race should be.

The collective chants, roars, color, chaos, horns, sirens, and merchandise frenzy.

The French Grand Prix achingly featured almost none of these. The race was monochromatic and sullen, even though the sun was up high in the sky, and the leaves of the vibrant trees in Solaris were so vivid and dazzling they looked painted.

There were flags waving, but most of them were the black slash flag—the kind that hadn't been waved in eleven years. This kind of flag indicated the loss of a driver, and its presence was more than enough to flatten the mood of even the most excited fan.

The commentators reflected the mood the most as they kept their tone neutral, unenthusiastic, and empathetic throughout, even though the greatest S-level engine battle of all time was on display.

The French Grand Prix was truly a turning point there in the season, as things could take a different course for the next three races in the favour of Squadra Corse, and in the dismay of Jackson Racing.

Squadra Corse's S-level engine, the FiammaVeloce Pro, was a complete game changer—and being in the hands of Antonio Luigi only made the situation worse for everyone else on the grid. The FiammaVeloce Pro was a tremendous watershed in both Mercedes engineering and Squadra Corse history: a package that had solidified fear in all competitors, be it drivers, teams, or supporters.

As suspected, Mercedes and Squadra Corse also presented a brand-new chassis to accompany the FiammaVeloce Pro, still under the AMG series, which went by the title AMG F1 W12.

For some reason, they completely skipped two numbers and chose W12 as the successor after Luigi's previous W09. Now, in the championship, with this massive upgrade, it was confirmed that Squadra Corse had not only maintained but also elevated their percentile average that labeled them the fastest team in the competition.

The FiammaVeloce had already been the fastest engine in the last era. The FiammaVeloce Pro was now officially confirmed as the fastest among all other HiCEs. This gave them the complete upper hand, as both the super and non-super categories had just been thoroughly dominated.

On the other hand, Jackson Racing held 2nd place in the ranking of fastest teams. However, they had nothing to show for it, even with the packages currently available to them.

The FRC had been mended and fully rehabbed, now ready for deployment after that crash in Germany. However, the driver originally assigned to it was placed on a temporary suspect-list suspension, leaving the vehicle untouched and idle in the garage.

Assuming Luca was present, he would've been granted the honor of piloting his first ever HiCE-powered car. But he too was away, leaving Jackson Racing in a haze of disorderliness and confusion. The entire team's structure had plunged into dishevelment and shambles, with management flustered and administrators trapped in a state of complete discombobulation.

Surely, they couldn't even consider handing Di Renzo the FRC to pilot, nor could they offer it to any driver ranked beneath him.

[Generating Rehabilitation Program....]

[System is analyzing and retrieving routine program issued to host.]

[1: PHYSICAL RECOVERY AND MOBILITY:

Cold Water Immersion & Exposure Training: Host should submerge forearms and upper torso in chilled water (6–10°C) for 3–5 minutes. The Gola is to stimulate nerve feedback, reduce inflammation, optimize circulatory efficiency.

Manual Dexterity Reinforcement: Host should engage in daily micro-manual tasks (e.g., button threading, cap twisting, pressure clipping). The goal is to improve hand-eye feedback, reduce scar stiffness in fine motor zones.

Controlled Climb: Host should execute vertical rope ascension (low height, assisted anchor) thrice weekly. The goal is to engage core strength, extend scar tissue, promote neuromuscular synchronicity.. ]

Although depression had enveloped Luca, he actually saw the fulfillment at the end of the tunnel this could give him.

[2: PSYCHOLOGICAL FOCUS & NEUROMUSCULAR CALIBRATION:

Monotask Gardening Sequence: Host should initiate soil rehydration, plant maintenance, and pruning tasks daily for 25 minutes. The goal is to refine attention span, synchronize physical motion with mental rhythm, reinforce discipline.

Facial Tension Mapping + Breath Sync: Host should perform facial muscle scans nightly, releasing tension through synchronized breathing (4-7-8 method). The goal is to de-escalate stress markers, improve sleep latency, decompress micro-tension clusters.]

[Generating final program....]

[3: COGNITIVE & EMOTIONAL REHABILITATION:

Mirror Exposure Desensitization: Host should maintain unbroken eye contact with personal reflection for 45 seconds per cycle, 2x daily. The goal is to normalize altered self-image, suppress panic reflex, reestablish identity confidence.

Narrative Recall Processing: Host should listen to system-guided recounting of key traumatic sequences at 20% emotional depth. The goal is to reduce emotional overload, convert memory from volatile to neutral classification.]

[Successfully Generated!]

Luca read everything on the panel. He liked everything on the panel, and saw that it was good. The system truly incorporated all branches that he hoped to rejuvenate and bounce back better with.

He was going to start now, his journey to Switzerland mainly for this and nothing else.

"Please, can you also generate a workout program as well?"

[Certainly, host!]

[If system may ask, what workout program specifically?]

"Muscles," Luca replied.

"Overall body muscles, most importantly the masculine areas," he added. "I want to buff up, sculpt and chisel."

[That is a wonderful conviction, host!]

[Building muscle triggers numerous advantages, both physical and mental. It increases strength, boosts testosterone, enhances physical presence, and sharpens discipline. It also improves posture, uplifts mood, and elevates confidence levels significantly. With consistent progression, host will experience a stronger hormonal balance and a redefined personal aura!]
