“Who are you?” Alex demanded as they approached, his gun levied against the other’s chest. His voice came out firm and strong, the way he had been trained. Seconds later, Lewis saw a flash of blonde hair, and grabbed Alex’s arm. “Stop.”

His voice held no room for argument, and Alex didn’t dare defy the command. Lewis slowly approached the figure, taking in the lean build, tattered clothing, the way he favoured his left side. The precise way his clothing had torn pointed to a bullet wound in his side.

Lewis took it all in in a perfunctory way. The stubble coating his chin. The unused gun strapped to his thigh.

Then Sebastian Vettel opened his eyes, and Lewis saw nothing but blue.

Or, nine years ago, Sebastian Vettel walked out of Lewis Hamilton's life forever, only to wander back in at the most inopportune of times.

The extent Lando went to, to praise Oscar post Abu Dhabi is kind of crazy in retrospect. Like he kept going and going and going about how great Oscar was in every interview absgsbdbmsnd. Unprompted most of the time too. I remember people were claiming it was PR (which genuinely makes 0 sense) but if you watch the clips you can see he’s bit desperate about it. And he had no reason to say any of those things, really. No one expected him to.

the absolute flip opposite definition of PR parts of fandom have is so asfkgsakfga literally PR has intent for publicity and landoscar are popular completely in spite of never doing yes ands or bits or making memes and Oscar doesn't have an on-camera bone in his body.... he literally rejected making a special handshake w Lando so it didn't get turned into a "thing" that they'd regret like in what universe is landoscar PR when they're the EXACT opposite ???

and yea honestly nothing about Lando was rehearsed or cynical after AD the man was flying and slightly delirious and his poor little head was spinning with all of it. and also no one would've expected Lando to do anything more than the hug and the appreciative dedications to Oscar in his first interviews - after that it would've been perfectly fine for it to be about his team, his family, his friends etc.

but holy god yea if anyone is still hurt or upset about the silly carland0 comment just go back in someone's archive for AD last year or find one of the tiktok compilation edits of how his joy was actually bittersweet when he said about what Oscar was feeling and how he couldn't wait for their positions to be reversed one day and everything that Oscar had taught and helped Lando with and the very specific way they supported each other from the depths of 2023 to two wccs and Lando's wdc. and how all of that carried on in every interview he did after and the FIA awards and him glorying in the special unique one of a kind thing he and Oscar have together. landoscar are exceptionally small fry to marketing and advertising compared to many other ships (solid ao3 stats and tiktok edits don't translate into selling products or getting views on monetized videos) and they have absolutely no handy "identity" to push and honestly even them twinning is mixed in with how different they also are so there's no solid yaoi hook for publicity to latch onto. their power is solely in the bond and in what they've created as teammates and ofc that doesn't sell - it's why everyone kept wanting and baiting them to fall apart bc THAT at least would be a good publicity angle. so Lando gained absolutely nothing cynical from how passionately he included Oscar in his entire reaction to winning the wdc. his voice shook and his words stumbled occasionally with how much he wanted to make it clear that he wasn't going to just blithely celebrate when it inevitably coincided with accepting a huge loss for the man who had helped him get to where he was. it was just... so sweet and sincere and all his own choice and if he hadn't said most of it then nobody would've blamed him for being caught up in winning a childhood dream. but he did anyway.

it's like how it would've been fully okay for Oscar not to go out to Lando's celebrations and I genuinely didn't believe Guanyu's post was from that night. it was so emotional for me to find out that he was there with Quadrant ppl and Bella instead of doing just a private celebration - or none - of his own ;__;

Are we allowed to discuss the landoscar bodyguards subplot 😭 i love seeing them together https://x.com/i/status/2066198176596394011

look at the beefsteaks on their lil coffee break together !! do u think they talk about how Lando isn't allowed to have his pass anymore and will literally dangle helplessly over the barrier until his bodyguard swipes him in and how Oscar can happily sit in perfect silence during plane and car rides with his headphones on while his battery recharges and how they've had to learn the weird little nonverbal communication landoscar have to try and anticipate their moves

he's an f1 driver and his FACE is behind the HELMET all the time what does he even DO with those lashes it's so unfair

[hexjulia]

so hard not to become the most annoying person on earth if you're a little excitable and just learned a little about a topic literally no one around you has any interest in

[emociatanta]

George's situation feels like a too angsty fanfic when you snap out of it because it's so unrealistically tragic that it doesn't feel serious anymore

[gr63cedes]

hurt no comfort, george russell needs a hug type shit

“I'm pretty mind-blown by the decision, because how you can reverse a decision that was ultimately wrong, but when other people have been penalised for the same thing and served a penalty in the race - how you can then change one penalty, knowing that probably five or six other races have been impacted by that, is astonishing,” Piastri said.

“So, I mean, I've obviously lost a position, but you can only imagine how George is feeling - so I could not believe my eyes. Yes, I lost the position to Pierre because I served the penalty, so technically I should be P3 - but then, technically George should be P3, and the whole thing is now a mess.”

I always knew Oscar was a real one.

we were p4-p7 in miami too…

george lando and arvid will be on the podium in barcelona and kimi will get a generally uneventful p11 because of setup issues and max will get karma for last year and the world will be sunshine and rainbows and joy and and and and

[russelliv]

THE RUSSELL RESET IS UPON US!!! POLE POSITION IN BARCELONA-CATALUNYA WOOOOOOOOO 🩵🩵🩵🩵

[winblads]

even with alpine not telling him about the penalty etc etc i really don't gaf about pierre podium because the fia turned a shitshow into even more of a shitshow and literally whole house mad on that one except him

[boxboxlandoscar]

the issue with overturning gasly's penalty is that it only causes more issues. because if his penalty was overturned that means theoretically a lot of other drivers' penalties were unfairly given as well, but they just have to deal with it?? and george went from p3 to p14 because of his penalty (and team incompetence) which is such a massive points difference and could end up being instrumental in the wdc outcome
