oh, it’s definitely the good kind of ridiculous — the kind that makes me laugh under my breath even when i’m trying to be serious. and hey, i’ll gladly accept your grand gratitude on behalf of italy’s sushi ban committee. you keeping your pinky down while sipping tea just paints the funniest image in my head — like, you trying so hard to look casual but still screaming “posh boarding school energy.” and yeah, you’re rolling your eyes, but i bet you’re grinning too. i can practically hear it. and thank you, really. hearing that from you hits differently — maybe because you actually see the parts most people don’t. it means a lot more than you probably realize. not even a little disappointed. if anything, i think it’s been the best kind of chase — the one that makes it all worth it when you finally stop running. and bora bora... don’t even get me started. if italy was chaos, that’s going to be our peace. hope you have fun in são paulo, babe. i think i’ve been there once in my life and that was it.

[landcnorris4archive]

I'll keep on being ridiculous in the best kind of way. Having that pinky finger up is second nature, the struggle is real! 'posh boarding school energy'?? Oh gosh - I barely went to school, so I don't know where that comes from. You would be correct, you have that power, of easily putting a very silly grin on my face, cheeks start to hurt a little and everything. It makes me happy and I feel very lucky that I get to see this pieces and bits most people aren't privy to. It makes us appreciate the journey even more, I definitely cherish even more these times we get to have together. You're right, I can't wait for a little peace, quiet down a little, no matter how the race weekend goes, I know I will really need it. Thanks love, with how the weather is predicted to be, it's going to be an intense one, let's see what happens, I apologize in advance of any late night ramblings that might be sent your way. I've been to Brazil every year for the last seven years but always for work, haven't got the chance to go for pleasure alone, maybe we should change that soon.

[harryekane9]

You did? I am glad to hear that you got to watch it. It does seem that way. I hope it carries on that way. And if it does, that it carries on...for England at least into the World Cup.

[landcnorris4archive]

I did, I really enjoyed the whole game. Oh now that’s the dream, England into the world cup and winning it all. Word is that Portugal is looking good, it's going to be exciting to see. I'm definitely planning on making it to a couple of games for the world cup.

[tatesrmcrae]

would you believe me if i said i have a pillow with your face on that i always turn around when i go to sleep ? definitely helps me sleep better at night. free promo left and right. although i heard you gotta dress up to walk into the paddock and that sounds awfully exhausting. thought i could turn up in a t-shirt and baggy jeans and call it a day. i love this for us though ― the two of us having our best year so far, even with all of the ups and downs. i'll finish my tour and you'll become world champion, deal ? but either way, we're really one kind of a wholesome duo, always able to count on each other. and i'm very grateful for that. all of that praise you've just thrown at me ? i'm throwing it right back with double the praise. bring your helmet, because that'll save you from direct attacks of the shoe to avoid injuries and keeps your mouth shut from arguing with me. you love me being insufferable, you're just too proud to admit it.

[landcnorris4archive]

You do not have a pillow with my face on it, I'll have to see it to believe it. You turn around every night? Like face down? I'm actually confused. Does it help with the crazy dreams? When was the last time you woke up fighting spiders?! You don't have to dress up if you don't feel like it, bring the baggy jeans, brownie points if you pick the right merch to go with it, did you get the racing jacket I sent you?! Just saying... that would top any fancy outfit in my books. Sounds like the dream, I'll keep on doing my thing to see if I make it happen. That we really are, and no one can take that away from us. You do realize I can still talk shit with my helmet on right? I mean... just pick a radio compilation out of youtube... anyways, I didn't bring the helmet, but I exceeded myself on my sign to make it up for that, thankfuly no shoes were thrown my way. You're so sure of yourself, it's annoying. You should be more humble, Tatiana is showing too much, please tell Tate I wanna her back.

lando: found this in the drafts

[chaaarles]

the kardashian of the grid? that’s rich coming from you — the man who turns every coffee run into a full-blown photoshoot. i’m just out here trying to keep up with your influencer-level chaos. but fine, i’ll take it — if i’m the kardashian, you’re definitely my chaotic sidekick who shows up halfway through the episode just to cause trouble. i’ll make sure ferrari hears about this partnership, by the way. lando norris — official brand ambassador for ferrari (in orange). has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? and hey, low blow with the golf talk. i’ll admit, it’s not my strongest sport, but it’s improving! slowly. like ferrari pit stops in 2020. you might be better — i’ll give you that — but don’t expect me to admit it twice. ah, there it is — the monaco jab. you had to sneak it in. i’ll let you have that moment; it’s your one free victory before paddle wipes that grin off your face. alright, deal. you can keep the keys, for now. but i’m holding you to that sunglasses agreement. i’ll find the perfect pair — something loud enough that people will know we’re trouble before we even pull up. other than that, how have you been, mate? how’s the love life?

[landcnorris4archive]

Every coffee run? How would you know? Do you have anything to confess here Charles? This is a safe place... your chaotic side-kick? Hmm. Alright, I can see it, can't be mad at that. I'm Scott, with 5 minutes of the episode, but still with the best sense of humor and always with something smart to say. Thank you, that's all I wanted to hear, there's no way you would be that delusional about your golfing skills. On paddle is much more even grounds between the two of us, you got this one, but I might claim I handed it to you as an extra birthday present, we didn't want you crying on your big day, it would ruin the aesthetic of the whole thing. And of course I was going to go there, it's Monaco baby. Deal, when you find the perfect pair we will be making a proper photoshoot out of it, just because we can, Kardashian style... but on a Fiat Jolly. Pretty good, mate. Can't complain much. The love life? What can I say... I've been really happy, which to be honest, scares the shit out of me. How about you and Cami?

[iscbelas-deactivated20251206]

you’re ridiculous, you know that? but i’ll admit, i’m smiling like an idiot reading this. fine, i officially promise to avoid sushi within italian borders forever — purely out of respect for your culinary morals. consider it my grand gesture. and yes, you absolutely do. you can’t hide that “proper british lad” thing no matter how much you try. it’s in the way you say latte and somehow make it sound fancier than the rest of us ever could. you’re right about the air, though. there’s something grounding about coming home, even when everything else is spinning. and hearing you say that about my film... that hit somewhere deep. thank you, really. i like spending all of my time with you, it’s been nice and it’s gonna suck when you leave me again.

[landcnorris4archive]

I've been told once or twice in the past, it's a good kind of ridiculous than, if it makes you smile like that. My culinary morals are extremely grateful, grand gesture noted, cheers. Bollocks, I thought I was doing a good job at it, was even keeping the little finger down whilst drinking tea and everything. The way I say latte? Ahah now you're the one being ridiculous, know that I'm rolling my eyes... probably very British alike. I meant every word, I've witnessed, even if from a distance how hard you worked for it. It paid off letting yourself getting caught on the game of tag? Not disappointed at all? I've been loving every second of it, and I'm already dreading having to leave, but looking at the bright side, it's only for the São Paulp gp, and then I'll be joining you in Bora Bora, definitely looking forward to that.

[danielaaal]

sounds wild. if the chance ever presents itself to do a hot spot lap then you know i'll be jumping on it. can't be letting these once in a lifetime opportunities pass by, you know? now i have to ask - what's the fastest you've ever done on the track? please, i love that you were singing touch in public and getting side-eyed for it. that lady was just very clearly jealous of your singing skills. works for me! no, i've never been there but i'm also pretty excited. a week to lay around and do nothing before tour? i'm so down. think i’ll be able to steal you away for another vacay adventure? they might not have rock climbing, but i’m sure we could find something equally as fun.

[landcnorris4archive]

I love it, I'll see what I can do to make this opportunity rise, Iove that mindset, we definitely can't be letting lifetime opportunities pass. Fastest I've been on track with an F1 car was around 260km/h. I'm actually more scared to drive hotlaps on "normal" cars than I am in my F1 car. Oh for sure, she was so jealous, no one hits off key as good as me. Perfect week to prepare yourself for tour, fully recharge. You got me on adventure, you are free to steal me away for some good fun any day, we'll have to find something just as exciting, it's starting to become a tradition, and I love it, can't wait.

[harryekane9]

I am glad you liked it. Oh, believe me when I say that it is hard for me to keep up with the premier league too. We are still on top. I know there is a long season ahead but I hope it stays that way.

[landcnorris4archive]

That makes me feel slightly better! You know what I got to watch? You going against PSG, you lads really are in top of the world at minute, love to see it. It is a long season, but what an amazing start, if you keep the momentum going, what a brilliant season you'll have ahead.

[zmclk]

yeah? cheers on that. what's coming up next now? and gotcha, makes sense. save that for some big celebrations down the line. though, barbecue down there is almost just as good. not much else topping that. you're close to the coming home then. just a bit more to power through but enjoy along the way. happy to hear and appreciate it, mate. my daughter had me deep into it mostly. never celebrated too much when i was a kid but it's grown on me over the years and then even more so after having her. how was the holiday for you?

[landcnorris4archive]

thanks mate. next up is brazil and las vegas, louis will be playing in vegas actually, just found out the other day, he will be one of the music acts after the drivers parade, it will be a fun one. oh yeah, they really do it better over there when it comes to their meats, austin. almost there, yeah. at the same time, I can't believe how fast time flies, christmas is almost here, it's crazy. I can imagine how it makes it more exciting watching her having fun, my sister sent me a video of my niece treat or treating, and it was the cuttest thing, kids just make everything better, really, if I feel like that as an uncle, I can't imagine as a father. I didn't do much, ended up feeling bored at home and decided that dressing up with a moto gp suit I traded with fabio quartararo and post it on instagram was a good way to celebrate it, was lucky enough that he found it funny, and decided to wear mine as well, made it look like it was planned, when it really wasn't.

[tatesrmcrae]

thank you. now i can sleep peacefully, knowing you'd cry if i would ditch you after free practice. babe, i do wish my schedule would allow me to be more physically present when it comes to supporting you. especially if it gets me dreamy wag shots without being a wag on national television while watching you race. good for my portfolio and potential tiktoks in the future to join the trend. no but for real though ― you went go karting and i went dancing and somehow our paths still crossed. i call it a genius move. might have my shoe flying off on purpose now just so i can see your hips move to take you out of your comfort zone. you'd come and get me ? that's sweet. giving me exactly what i want without even realizing it. damn, i love being a winner.

[landcnorris4archive]

yeah yeah. whatever helps you sleep at night, sure. so that's why you wish you had more time? for the wag shots? wow, showing your true colors, free promo is free promo, I guess. all jokes aside, I'm just glad we are both having our best year so far, even with all the ups and downs, it doesn't matter if we don't have the chance to be physically present more often, at the end of the day, I know I can count on you to listen to the endless rants about every single thing I did wrong when things don't go my way, and help me snap out of it. You know how self sabotaging I can get. And I just love to see you on top of the world right now, you deserve it. God must have known what he was doing after all. Should I bring my helmet? Shoes flying my way sounds dangerous, I can't chance an injury at this point of the season. you are insufferable and I don't know if I love you or hate you for it.

[chaaarles]

the photographers will think it’s a crossover episode no one asked for. and yes, slow motion, sunglasses, maybe a little hair flip if the wind cooperates. ferrari should absolutely be paying you for this level of PR — i’ll have a word with them, don’t worry. stop talking dirty to you? you started it, mate. you can’t throw 300 km/h and paddle in the same sentence and expect me not to sound confident. and golfing slander? bold words from someone who spends more time fishing balls out of the trees than hitting the green. but fine, i accept the challenge. birthday immunity revoked — no mercy. just don’t come crying when i celebrate like i’ve won monaco again. and a ride on your baby blue jolly? tempting… but only if i get to drive. i’ll even wear matching sunglasses.

[landcnorris4archive]

you really are the kardashian of the grid aren't you? gosh. I think they should, if you put in a good word for me, I reckon they'll listen, ferrari golden boy. I have to give you that, it's stronger than us. Now, let's be real, you're pretty shit at golf, don't even try to say otherwise, it's all for show. I do way much better than you do, you have to give me that at least. Deal, no crying. I'll focus on good it felt to actually win Monaco this year while you're at it. letting you drive my jolly? hm. will have to think about that one... matching sunglasses? alright, it's a deal if you get me a pair of those matching sunglasses for myself.

[iscbelas-deactivated20251206]

you’re lucky i like you, otherwise i’d be dramatically offended right now. fine, no sushi — i’ll make sure to cleanse my palate with something properly italian next time i’m there, just to restore balance in the universe. and okay, tea, i stand corrected. i should’ve known — you give more “classy british latte once in a blue moon” than “espresso shot at dawn.” i’ll let that one slide. you’re right though — there really is nothing like home. i didn’t realize how much i missed my little chaos until i walked into my house and just… breathed. but hearing you say that, about the film — that means a lot, really. it’s been one of those projects where every day felt like a test, so hearing you’re excited to see it kinda makes the exhaustion worth it. and oh, so now you’re the one chasing me across continents? about time. guess i’ll have to clear my schedule in a couple of days then, because i’m not letting you land in LA without seeing me. boy.

[landcnorris4archive]

lucky indeed. thank you very much, I really appreciate your consideration for my sushi despise, balance restored just by this promise alone. I do? Classy, proper british type of lad? I thought I was hiding it pretty well... damn. thanks, was hopeful it wasn't a deal breaker. It really is the air isn't? being home just hit us differently. I love to see how passionate about it you are, it's in the way you talk about it even if you don't really realize, of course I'm looking forward to see it. I am chasing you across continents, if that's what it takes to finally see you again. Italy barely counted, it was all fun and games, but I'm looking forward to some quality one on one time with you. Flights and hotel all sorted, I'll be arriving monday afternoon, so please block some time for me in that busy schedule of yours, I'm taking every minute you can give me.

[harryekane9]

Exactly. Oh, I can see why you would think that. They were both played by the same person. It was 3-0 to us. It did work in our favour. Although its been going well since the start of the season.

[landcnorris4archive]

yeah, and the whole vibe is a little similar I'd say. You rocked that. Nice, I really haven't been able to keep up much, not even with the premier league, let alone bundesliga, are you lads on top? still a long season ahead, but I'm glad you're doing well.

[tatesrmcrae]

you're lying. you'd totally break out into tears if i'd ditch you after free practice, be for real. god said put those two idiots together and let them figure it out all by themselves. didn't know that meant you being shy with your moves, because last time i checked, those hips don't lie and it'd be me making a fool out of myself, catching your neon sign in the crowd, stumbling over my own two feet while you're perfecting the choreo in the middle of the crowd. vegas wasn't very kind to you last year ? someone's bitter. think i'll stick to poker for the time being, though. picking up a new hobby one step at a time. and getting the number 4 involved outside of the race track sounds too risky in the casino world, no offense. unless you want them to call you at 2am, begging you to come pick me up because i wouldn't stop betting on that lucky number of yours. i sense a hint of jealousy. can't believe you're giving up that easily, not even putting up a fight.

[landcnorris4archive]

and give you the satisfaction? fine. I might. but still, would appreciate the support, even if that was all you could give me, that's what meant. it's a close call between a genius move or a very stupid one, the two of us together, but I'm proud of what we made from this prediction God put us in. these hips don't lie?! ah! yeah yeah... didn't you know? It was a close call between go karting or auditioning to sytycd. You're so annoyingly good at what you do, that even occasionally stumbling on your feet you pull it off, I've seen some videos of shoes flying off? but we'll see. might shake this hips just to throw you off. that easy to tell? someone is going after a drivers championship baby, that's what's happening. Sounds like a sound plan, none taken. I would come and get you, maybe place one last bet before leaving though, just because. and give you exactly what you want? I don't think so.

[harryekane9]

Why not do something like that, even if you are just at home. It is actually from Batman. We did have a lot of fun. And then had a great game today.

[landcnorris4archive]

Right? we don't need to wait for nobody to have fun sometimes. Oh right! now I see it, sorry, it reminded me of mad max. I'm glad, what was the result? team building activities on halloween worked in you guys favor.

[tatesrmcrae]

impressive you still know most of the choreography by heart. does count for something, for sure. could compare to me showing up for qualifying and then dipping before the race the next day. and that must count for something too, right ? if i have a special talent of ruining things, then so do you. because way to ruin the surprise. you could've just told me to shut the fuck up and go my way. instead, you're gonna have me scanning the crowd each night now, trying to find you in between thousands of people. although you might stick out if you promise to do the choreo from your spot in the arena. as for me cheering you on ― i was thinking vegas. night race sounds somewhat exciting. and if you do well in qualifying, i might put all my money on the table for you during poker nights at a casino. kidding. maybe. but since you've shown such a great interest in oscar, i'll have you know he does head scratches better than you. so, you might wanna work on that before he becomes my number one.

[landcnorris4archive]

actually, you could only show up for free practice, and it would still count for something! what can I say, there's a reason why this friendship works against all odds. now I found a way to keep you on your toes, even more the fun. take it down a notch will ya, just because I remember all the choreography by heart doesn't mean I'm any good at it, no chance I'm making a fool out of myself in the middle of your crowd, maybe I'll throw a last minute sign, bright neon yellow with the blobs and everything, that way you have no doubts it's me. Vegas wasn't very kind to me last year, but I'm doing everything I can to change that this time around, and night races are cool to watch. lucky number 4, you already know where to bet, even if I don't do good in quali. does he now? man of many talents, piastri, uh? looks like you're all set, is like you don't even need me anymore. I don't know if I want to get in the way of you two.

[harryekane9]

I am glad to hear that. Oh, maybe next year, Yeah, have a game tomorrow so we thought why not at least get together and dress up today. Oh, you can see my costume here.

[landcnorris4archive]

There's always next year. I still ended up putting on a bike racing suit just for laughs at home, and decided it was a good idea to take pictures of myself to put it on the internet and call it halloween. Look at you, that's from mad max isn't it? did you lot had fun?
