I've been receiving some pretty vicious anti-Carlando or Lando/Carlos anons since the last race and ya know hey that's your opinion and you can share! I choose to not put my energy into directly replying to attacking posts and that's both our perogative. That's okay 💫
I guess if people only saw the broadcast of just qualifying and the race, which they really went out of their way to not show the Carlando moments djeesh, I get their point of view.
So yeah if you don't see the whole picture you saw Carlos having pole and swearing badly (we know the truth) at Lando snatching the pole away from him and them ignoring each other after (even though Carlos went back for Lando but got pulled away, then they giggled and half hugged, giggled some more, love hearts everywhere, what personal space? don't know her, being glued together on the truck for the drivers parade, talking for a few in their own bubble like they forgot there were people around, having animated giggly conversations with others but always gazing at the other or smiling that smile, let's not forget Carlos and Lando inches closer and closer when Carlos had his hand next to almost behind Lando's side)
And the race would be Carlos taking revenge on Lando easily, Lando overtaking easily "Got him" in a snarky way ending with Lando not congratulating Carlos on his win, giving a hug to Sir Hamilton his new best friend, Carlos ignoring Lando through his heartbreak, not even checking up on him like the iceking he is.
What I saw and what actually happened was the best cross-team teamwork I've seen! Carlos said he knows Lando very well and they have started next to each other on the grid, they would leave space to finish together (smirk), Carlos kept saying "we" need to get away, see what happens behind "us" and I saw Lando defending from the guys behind, taking care to give Carlos squeeze way out, Carlos saying thank you very much to Lando's slipstream and off they both were. Lando's car was faster, he could overtake Carlos knowing they'd both fight fairly but they worked as a team (yup funnily enough) and Lando was patient giving Carlos P1 laps leading the race, they punched a few seconds between them and the pack behind, Lando overtook Carlos and off they went.
Of course strategy and external factors would always change that but the beginning was lovely just lovely.
Lando was heartbroken after that race, Carlos should be celebrating and Lando needs Carlos cause he understands him and his mental state and that's why he went up to Lewis just for a handshake, to be the better man and Lewis pulled him in for a hug and if that would've happened with Carlos he would've broken down crying and step on Carlos' celebration. That was Carlos' moment. Carlos didn't celebrate 100% as well, certainly not the way he would've celebrated with Lando beside him.
Don't think they didn't talk. Carlos was worried, his team did mention Lando cause Lando matters to Carlos. Their friendship matters to both of them. Not everything is out in public and it doesn't have to be.
But let me tell you, they adore each other. What you see, or don't see in this case, on TV doesn't mean that portrays what is actual reality.
For those still not convinced or need reassurances, go to our Carlando Tumblr pages and see all the actual things that happened during, before and after the weekends.
Be nice to each other Anons, the world can be a scary tough place, let's keep this digital place a safe home okidoki?
