Summary
"They have a few code words at McLaren. Not because there are things they aren’t allowed to say over the radio, but because the radio is public. The code words are there to alert the pit wall or the driver to sensitive emergencies or embarrassing situations like this. Lando has never had to use one before, but Will still insisted he memorized them and quizzes him on them occasionally."
Lando finds himself in a desperate and embarrassing situation during the safety car laps in Imola. He has always been able to say in interviews that he has never pissed in the car but that is about to change. Lando struggles to cope with the humiliation and Max helps. Max also threatens people with violence and blackmail, because he is Max and he can't help himself when it comes to Lando.

Summary
"Not good, not good at all. Lando, Oscar, and Charles are returning from the podium and heading straight to the media pit, before the press conference today, apparently. Fuck, Russel is also there giving interviews. Before Max can react, someone is grabbing his arm and dragging him away. The only reason he doesn’t take a swing is because the hand is as familiar as his own. He would knock out anyone else that touched him right now. His skin is crawling and feels too small for his body, like he is swollen with anger and his skin is wrapped around the fire, trying to keep it from busting out, but it’s melting and soon it will all escape. If he opened his mouth right now, lava might pour out. But Lando is shoving him against a wall in an abandoned hallway and slamming his mouth against Max’s, pressing their bodies together."
Max and Lando try to navigate the fallout from Max's bad decisions during the Spanish Grand Prix. Lando is desperate to do anything he can to help calm Max down and keep him from losing his head to his anger. Max starts to realize that he needs to make some changes if he doesn't want to keep making the same mistakes.
