Summary
Max opens his mouth and then closes it, looking away. What he did during last year was work his ass off and try to not give in to it. What he has done today - this weekend, in fact - is exactly the opposite. Working himself sick, pushing himself to exhaustion - it worked, for a while. Now it just feels like he’s drowning.
or: Max doesn't allow himself to accept the possibility that he might need help. Gianpiero, once again, is a good man.

Summary
Stepping into Max’s hotel room feels wrong somehow. But it's not like he didn't know this was a real possibility when he showed up. What did he want if not to be let in? He'd been in Max's hotel room before. This was nothing new. Not really. But… It had been awhile. Max closes and locks the door behind him.
Daniel waits for about two seconds before deciding to treat this like back in the golden days where they practically lived with each other. Red Bull could have saved money and booked them rooms together for all the time they spent in each other's rooms. Might as well pretend nothing had changed.
Waltzing in, he collapses onto the couch. “Nice room Maxie, I think-” he turns his head just in time to see Max stumble, reaching for the wall and bringing a hand up to his bowed head. “Hey,” he's back on his feet and moving towards him, “Max? What's wrong?”

Summary
“Is something wrong with the car?”
“No- uh- no-” He clears his throat, trying to catch his breath. “I think- mmm- I think I am going to pass out.” He knows those are not words he should be saying on the radio. It’s dangerous. Anyone could hear it. But-
“Max, pull off to the side. Now.”
Max would shake his head but he knows it’s a bad idea. “No, No,” but he’s having trouble getting the words out. They're slurring together and the pulse behind his eyes is unrelenting. The world’s nothing more than a black and white blur, GP’s voice struggling to be heard over the intensifying ringing. “I-I can make it to pit I just-”
“Now Max.”

Summary
Rupert frowns at him, calculating, considering. “I’ll make you a deal, we can set up an IV here and we will sit and we will talk until the treatment is done. Or you can go to the medical delegate and let them decide what needs to be done.”
Max hesitates. He doesn’t know how sick he looks to someone who doesn’t know him. He’s not bad enough that they would be issued a race ban, right? But he also does not want to draw the FIA’s attention to his weight.
“Fine.”

Summary
He wasn’t totally out of the loop, but between around thirty actual interactions online elapsed, and a once-a-week check-in to make sure his numbers were doing good, Hawks was never the first to know what was happening. He figured that if it was important, it would either be on the morning news he put on while getting ready or one of his handlers would mention it in a meeting. Nobody broke world-ending information on Twitter.
Hawks could see the appeal, though. If he were stuck on the ground like the rest of the world, he’d probably get sucked in, too.
There was just something a lot more appealing than seeing Best Jeanist’s fifth ad of the day.
Hawks caught the wind in his wings, buffeting him up, higher than any of the civilians below him had ever gone without a plane, and he couldn't think of anything better, not even the constant buzzing in his pocket.

When the Commission's records are leaked across the internet, Pro Hero: Hawks is both the biggest collateral and the last to find out. He's left to deal with the fallout.
