To say Max is angry is an understatement. The Dutchman is fuming, and I do understand where his frustration comes from. It is the third race of the season and Max just had his second DNF. The reigning champion only had one chance to get points and got a win but there is no way he can be happy with this season so far. He wanted to fight for another title and now he is just fighting against his own car, needing to worry that it will not make it to the finish line.

"The meeting is postponed for after the podium ceremony." Gianpiero informs Max, reminding him that his teammate made it onto the podium while Max has not got a single point today. If looks could kill Gianpiero would drop straight to the ground but since he knows Max for years now, he doesn't mind the deadly stare of his protege.

„Leave me alone." Max hisses and closes the door of his room with a loud sound, making me flinch. He is a bit scary with his fuming behaviour, but I know that I am in no danger, he usually lets his anger out on his furniture or on his puncing bag he can punch to calm down.

"Max..." I try to approach my friend, but he stops me before I can say anything else.

"Don't fucking talk to me!" His eyes are full of anger, fixating me and I lower my gaze. Not wanting to look at his fuming face longer. Usually, we can talk about bad races, but it seems like the beginning of this season tenses Max up so that he forgets that I am a safe space for him.

"I just want to..." I try to explain myself but, again, I am stopped by the Dutchman in front of me.

"No! I didn't ask for your opinion, so shut up!" He basically spits out these words and does hurt me but at the same time it makes me angry. Max is pushing away all the people that support him and the season just started. Who knows if RedBull will fix the issue with the reliability of his car or if he is going to DNF more races? It is time to speak up and tell him to change his behaviour.

"You know what, that's enough. I have seen you pushing people away way to often in the last weeks." I look up to him now, pointing my finger at his chest, hoping he will understand my words. There is no way he can get away with this behaviour without loosing someone who usually supports him.

"Get your shit together before you lose everyone that cares about you!" I say with a stern voice and look closely how Max reacts. A humourless laugh leaves his lips, dampening my hopes. This is not how I wanted him to react.

"Oh, don't worry there are plenty of people who love to give me company." His voice sounds almost cocky, and I need to supress a disappointed sight. It does not seem like he is worried about hurting people with his behaviour.
