Summary
These kinds of smiles on Max are reserved for other people. Like Daniel, like Lando, like those Dutch guys that come around sometimes and he likes to yell with.
Not Charles.
It’s probably the fourth time Max is acting noticeably strange around him that he notices the freckle on his lip.

Summary
Pierre once said that Charles is a good person with a monster inside of him. A rabid, hungry beast that craves attention, that may well be chained down and locked away in a dark corner, but is there, lingering, waiting for a moment of weakness where it can pounce, break the bars and rampage.
Charles tells Pierre that driving for Alpine has made him completely insane.
It’s not his fault he’s so perceptive, is what he argues. (Pierre just rolls his eyes again and tells Charles he’s a lost cause.) When people are literally falling all over themselves to be near him, to touch him, to worship him, of course he is going to notice it.
So, of course, he notices Max’s crush.

Summary
And Lewis finally gets it—can't not get it, when just two years ago he'd been in the exact same place; being handed a second-placed trophy that weighed as heavily as it had been worth nothing at all, replaying all the mistakes he'd made throughout the season in his head, over and over and over, thinking about where he could've been faster, where he could've been smarter, where he could've been better; thinking about who he'd lost it to, about how losing it stacked up against all the other things he'd already let slip from out of his grasp.
(or: Lewis wins the Championship; Sebastian doesn't. They both gain more than they ever bargained for.)

The grainy pictures are pieced together like a crude comic strip, sketching a poorly thought-out narrative arc that somehow made it onto the front page of every sleazy newspaper.
