hello there's this small cs55 twt acc that has very mysteriously commented on a martim and lando post yesterday and in december too about there being some crazy lore about *why* martim and lando are close but they refused to elaborate both times and i wonder if you or your followers have ever heard something about that i'm dyinggggg to know
Had I heard anything prior to this ask? Not really, or at least I don’t remember. But this prompted me to research this topic a little and Twitter lead me to names, and names lead me to information.
I looked things up out of genuine curiosity with zero ill will and I’m presenting these finding in a ‘ooh that’s interesting!!’ way and from my end there is absolutely no further implications of anything else. Simply curiosity and interest.
For anyone reading this: do not spread this information outside of this bubble. Do not crosspost to other platforms, and do not cite me as your source. However, if you choose to not respect this wish, present the information as your own and do not mention my blog.
Martim Reymão is the son of Portuguese former rally raid driver Joana Lemos and Portuguese banker Manuel de Costa Lobo Reymão Noguiera. He has a brother (born 1998) Tomás, who is a professional football player, more of him later.
Martim’s parents split in 2014, and Joana remarried in 2021 to Italian businessman Lapo Elkann. Now Lapo has multiple business endeavours but the one of relevance to this post is the fact that he is a member of the board of directors of Ferrari N.V. and responsible for the promotion of the Fiat Group brand. Lapo is the great-grandson of the founder of Fiat (Giovanni Anginelli), although the chosen heir of the Anginelli multi-industry business dynasty is his brother John Elkann.

Now I didn’t find any details of how Martim started to be associated with Carlos, or Ferrari, but him orbiting this space started when Carlos was in Ferrari. The clips of Martim being at the paddock in Mexico 2024 have his step father Lapo in them as well, signalling that he probably accompanied Lapo to the race and supported Carlos!

I believe the connection between Carlos and Martim comes through Ferrari and Martim’s step-father, and has since subsequently flourished into a friendship!! But Martim and Carlos are not related (I’ve seen claims of them being cousins, afaik they’re not).
Remember how I mentioned Martin’s brother Tomás? Well here we get to the *why* of Lando and Martim’s connection.
So, in my googling of Martim, I was faced with the ninth circle of hell that I avoid like the plague: Tattle. NOW! I do NOT take a single thing from that hellhole as truth and gospel, but it lead me to information that I confirmed myself. On there, someone had said a couple years ago that Martim’s brother’s fiancée’s best friend is… ding ding ding, Luisinha. So I took a gander to Instagram.
Tomás IG is private but his profile pic was him in a suit, a wedding suit perhaps. And I looked at Lu’s IG and one of her friends (Leonor Borges Reymão) that were tagged in Lu’s post not too long ago had conveniently pinned her wedding post with, you guessed it, Tomás. And with a little scroll I found that Lu was her MAID OF HONOUR (translation in Leonor’s post, Lu’s post translates to bridesmaid) and was at her bachelorette and the whole nine yards.

This sounds like a long friendship, more than just a couple years. Best friends.
That’s the connection. Martim is the brother of Lando’s ex girlfriend’s best friend’s (now) husband. That combined with Martim and Carlos’ friendship, it’s no miracle or surprise these two orbits each other too.
If someone knows something more let me know!! I may have missed something since I haven’t paid attention to this lore before and I wasn’t around in Lu’s time. But this is wholesome!! Shared circles lead to new friendships yay!! It never seizes to amaze me how incredibly small these circles are😅
Information sources: Wikipedia, F1 broadcast, the IGs of Martim, Luisinha, Leonor, and random tweets I encountered by searching up ‘Martim Lando’ or ‘Martim Carlos’!
General Appearance: Dark dirty blonde hair, blue-grey eyes. His skin is relatively light, though just a bit darker than Lance’s. Law’s actually pretty short for a boy for his age - up until later years.
Personality: Law is honest, blunt and doesn’t like “being kept in the dark”, which usually leads him to try his hardest to find secrets out. When meeting someone new or seeing someone he doesn’t know very well (or simply going on a walk), he likes to attached himself to Tim’s leg or hide behind him.
Special Talents: He’s very smart and quite athletic and nimble; he’s very perceptive.
Who they like better: That depends on the day.
Who they take after more: Tim
Personal Head canon: Though he doesn’t like secrets being kept from him, he’s insanely good at keeping secrets. He prefers original stories over remade stories (like Grimm’s Fairytales over Disney) but will put up with the remade stories to appease Lance.
