Summary
Max’s track den isn’t really his track den.
As far he's concerned, he doesn't have a track den. The den that he has in his driver's room is more of a collective storage space for the pack's stuff. It has blankets, and pillows, and throws, and clothes from everybody in the pack, for anybody in the pack to take to bulk their own nests and dens.
But it is stored in his driver's room, which is why everybody else on the grid calls it ‘Max’s Den’ anyways, and Max doesn’t really see the point in fighting them on it since everybody knows what everybody means when somebody says ‘Max’s Den.'
And if it means so much to them, then they can call it whatever they'd like.
OR: Max's collection effort of the 2024 rookie's stuff for the pack den.

Summary
As soon as they are allowed to leave, the drivers all disperse to their various pack rooms for a little bit of down time at the end of the Bahrain filming day before testing starts up in the morning.
Max is followed by more rookies than he was expecting.
Liam makes sense, even if he’s done half a season and doesn’t technically qualify as a rookie anymore. Isack also makes sense, as he’s part of the Red Bull Family. Gabi following Max is also not a surprise, what with their work in Team Redline. Jack does surprise him, Max would have thought the Aussie might have followed Pierre back to Alpine, but instead he trails at the back of the pup pack with Liam. Then there’s Kimi, which Max cannot rationalise.
Of course Max lets them all into his den anyways.
There’s a moment where Max just stands there, staring at the pups.
He doesn’t want to fuck this up.

Pierre gets miffed when Jack calls Max 'Dad' at the pre-season drivers' dinner despite being the Aussie being the Frenchman's pup. While deciding that 'Dad' is short for 'Goddad's Mate' (sigh), Pierre realizes that Max is his Grid Dad. So, obviously, Jack decides that 'Dad' is now short for 'Granddad.'
Max has feelings about this new devolvement.
