I'm going to say something that might piss some people off, and if you're one of those people, this post is for you.
There is a line in shipping real people - a line between public and private spaces. There's an unwritten rule that you ship on dedicated platforms, i.e. tumblr, ao3, discord, etc.
There's been an outrageous uptick in tagged content on instagram, twitter, and tiktok of aggressive shipping – and people wonder why we don't get fresh content anymore?
There's a line between having a fan account and tagging these guys in slow mo, romantic, shippy reels every five seconds.
All I'm saying is lets respect the boundaries and keep our shipping to the appropriate spaces. These guys are real people with real lives and real relationships - sure, they're in the public eye so there's a level of this that they open themselves up to, but let's not be those people.
They got together in 2018, Lance had just turned 20 and Fernando was 37.
Lance was the first person to settle Fernando down as he was previously known as a bit of a playboy.
They had to keep the relationship secret as both of them would be accused of corporate espionage. (especially not a good look on Fernando... remembering spygate) The rules were changed later in 2021 when Fernando signed with Alpine.
During Fernando's time off from F1, they came out and it was a bit of a scandalous affair. The media tried to drag Lance but Fernando went on a full-on campaign to support him so they moved on from it in a few weeks.
Fernando buys little gifts for him all the time and Lance pretends to be annoyed but actually loves it.
They mostly talk in English, but occasionally slip into French which sounds like complete nonsense to everyone else because of their accents. But they understand each other perfectly fine.
They got married in 2023 during the summer break. It was a small wedding with just family and some close friends. Lance's parents wanted a Jewish wedding, Fernando's family a Christian wedding. They ended up with a civil officiate to stop them from fighting.
They have two dogs; a shiba inu named Nyla and a golden retriever named Rósa. They treat them like their own kids and they often travel with them to the races.
Lance will tell you that they're polar opposites in their personality; he is quiet and more reserved, Nando is a chatterbox and slightly insane. Fernando thinks it's the other way around (delusion).
They would want to have a family but both of them are too stubborn to retire and become a home dad, so, it's on hold.
When Lance is around, Fernando is banned from practicing any kind of magic tricks as it makes Lance feel dumb for not figuring them out and Nando refuses to tell him how they work.
They have an ongoing bet on which one of them turns gray first. It's currently almost tied and Lance is worrying he's going to lose. (<- suspects Nando of cheating and dying his hair)
They mainly stay in Canada at Lance's or Switzerland at Fernando's house, but spend at least the minimum time in Monaco for taxes 💅 Also Spain. And thinking about Japan, bc Nando is obsessed with the country.
Every formal function they're invited to, Lance has to be dragged in like a cat refusing to go in a bathtub.
They've done Daytona 24h together, with Lando as their 3rd team mate.
Lance has a bad habit of forgetting jewellery everywhere and losing rings all the time which is why Fernando peppers him with pretty things. It also causes Fernando to wear both their wedding rings to keep Lance's safe. Lance would never forgive himself if he lost it.
Every time Fernando comes back from the karting school, he recites the whole day back to Lance and updates him on all the kids' progress. When they have small competitions, Lance helps as a race director.
Lance has a lot of hockey jerseys and Fernando wears them all the time. Lance is prohibited from touching Fernando's football shirts.
Shut up. What do you mean Lance watched Fernando race from his garage as a kid, and told people he was his favorite driver. What do you mean that same little kid got to be teammates with Fernando. What do you mean!!!
the fact we have that amazing yacht fic and now we have Lance giving Nando a sailors hat with capitán on it with a bottle of wine (which got cut from the video what did he write on it????) truly the embodiment of “te quiero muchísimo, papi”

I am attempting to write something based on Nando’s interview where he says he and lance have a special relationship and my brain has died. I haven’t written anything in like 5 years 😭😭😭😭
