Fav currently updating landoscar authors? I feel like every time I find a good series I check and they haven't written anything in like a year. Maybe you have some recommendations? Would be so grateful!!
I'm not sure if this is quite what you're asking, but here, have a WIP rec list! I'm a strong believer in supporting WIPs-- you really never know when you commenting on a fic will be the motivation an author needs to keep going!

“Y’alright, World Champion Lando Norris?” Max asks, leaning back in his desk chair with his hands tucked behind his head.
“Piss off,” Lando mumbles back, not liking the smile in Max’s tone. Besides, what can he say? ‘Bit lost, actually. Any idea how to handle the best day of your life feeling like the end?’.
Or: Lando runs away to the wrong Perth. Oscar takes in a lost man.

206k | 21/? | just updated yesterday! a landoscar classic
Lando Norris, internationally famous rockstar, has three main priorities: drugs, avoiding eye contact, and pretending emotions don't exist.
Enter Oscar Piastri. Engineering student. Polite and boring to a fault. After one too many nights taken too far, Lando's manager hires Oscar as his chaperone.
Lando hates him immediately.
i no longer really look like me @struggle-era
Oscar had never really put all that much thought into his status as a beta. As a beta, his secondary sex didn't put anywhere near as much of an effect on his every day life in the way that being an alpha or omega would. He didn't experience heats or ruts, and well… his ability to scent was baseline. His own scent was mild and even, much less prone to souring. In turn, he wasn't as affected by the scents of others either. It meant he had a pretty easy time on the track, all things considered.
Or the fic where Oscar shifts from beta to omega and has to deal with the fallout.

He’s tall, is the first thought that flashes through Lando’s brain when he lays eyes on Oscar Piastri. It shouldn’t be a surprise, most men are taller than Lando, but all the same he finds his eyes catching on the width of Oscar’s shoulders, the couple inches that separate them.
He’s also, as a first impression, very eh. Not in like a bad way, just neutral.
“So you’re my new Aussie?” are the words that come out of his mouth.

"Anything I can do? Dump a bucket of cold water over you?" His tone made it obvious that he was just teasing, but after a moment of considering whether it would be crossing a line, he added, "or, you want a massage?"
Oscar took another drink of water before setting it back down on the TV stand next to him, still watching Lando carefully even though his face hadn't moved from where it was buried into the pillow. He kept his expression carefully neutral, not wanting to make the offer seem weirder than it probably - definitely - already was.
or: Oscar gives Lando a handjob and it almost ruins everything

89k | 15/? | updated recently and so good!!
Pretending was the only thing that Lando had ever been good at, his exoskeleton built upon false bravado and self-deprecation. It was a safeguard, a protection built by design to hold all the broken pieces of himself together, to try and meld together his self-imposed wounds and insecurities, hoping to god that the scar tissue would fade, that no one would come quite close enough to see the marks left behind.
Now, in one fell swoop, it felt as though everything that Lando had built, spent years cultivating, was about to come crumbling down and destroy him completely, leaving nothing but a pair of beautiful brown eyes staring back at him through the wreckage.
He didn’t think he knew how to survive it.

“Well, you’re wearing his shirt like you’re his wag.” Lando hears the bite in his words again. He worries his jealousy is bleeding through his cheekiness and Oscar will be able to see it.
Oscar laughs again, seemingly unbothered by Lando’s biting tongue. “I am obligated, as an Australian,” he presses his fingers against his chest. “To support my fellow countrymen in all sporting endeavors.”
Lando leans forward and turns towards the Aussie. “So…the Socceroos, huh?”
or AU where Oscar never wanted to be a racecar driver and is instead the young prodigy striker for Australia and Lando is totally not crushing on him.
and I'm nothing if not a fan of myself :D so i'll promote mine as well, which will be finished in the next couple of weeks!
“It’s probably not the best idea for us to do this,” Oscar says, looking away. “We’re living together, and the contract—”
“Fuck the contract,” Lando interrupts, exasperated. “We can add a clause to it or something, I dunno. It can be like those stupid rom-coms where they agree not to fall in love with each other.”
Or: Oscar Piastri is a lonely, closeted F1 driver who's one mistaken hook-up away from certain ruin. Lando is a down-on-his-luck photographer who's three days away from eviction. When Lando tries to mug Oscar in a desperate attempt to keep his housing, Oscar proposes a mutually beneficial arrangement: Lando lives with Oscar as his companion for one year. After that, they're free to go their separate ways. A rock-solid NDA and no hard feelings. What could go wrong?
