A/N: Dedicated to LANDO NORRIS BEING A WORLD CHAMPION— because we spent YEARS manifesting this and if McLaren doesn’t give us this storyline, I’ll pick up a steering wheel myself.
You’re not on the payroll, but everyone at McLaren swears they should start paying you in high-value snacks.
They’ve called you:
The human pit wall
Emotional support older sister
Garage Mom
Lucky charm
Snack hoarder Level 100
“Hey, can you hold this wrench and pretend it’s PR-approved?”
And you’re still just Lando Norris’ older sister, five years his senior, the girl who used to drive him to karting because Mom had meetings and Dad had calls and someone needed to be the responsible one.
You remember every cramped car ride.
Every frantic early morning.
Every time Lando said, breathless:
“One day I’ll be World Champion.”
Back then, you just ruffled his hair and told him to put his seatbelt on.
✦ TRACKSIDE TRADITION NO. 1: YOU ALWAYS SHOW UP
The paddock has gotten used to you.
Ferrari? They call you “McLaren princess” like it’s a medieval title.
Red Bull? Christian Horner once tried to recruit you because “the vibes seem stabilizing,” to which Zak Brown said, “OVER MY DEAD BODY.”
Mercedes? Lewis hugs you every race because you remind him of his older sister.
Oscar Piastri? Brother #2 (Australian edition).
Everyone knows:
Where there’s Lando, there’s you — leaning over the pit wall, sleeves rolled, chewing through nerves like they’re expensive gum you didn’t pay for.
But nobody, not even YOU, was prepared for Abu Dhabi 2025.
✦ PRE-RACE: PURE MCLEAN CHAOS
McLaren garage, 2 hours before lights out:
Someone has taped a picture of baby Lando to the pit wall monitors.
Zak Brown is pacing like his wife is in labor.
Mechanics are betting packets of Haribo on strategy outcomes.
You are hiding in the back eating gummy worms like a goblin in a snack cave.
Lando walks in with his headphones, sees you, and just drops onto the chair next to you.
“I might puke.”
You pat his knee like you’ve done since he was 11.
“Please don’t. That would smell so bad in the car.”
Oscar, emerging from behind a tire like a feral meerkat:
“Save it for post-race champagne puke.”
Everyone groans.
Someone throws a rag at him.
He ducks like it’s muscle memory.
✦ LIGHTS OUT & YOUR HEART GIVES OUT TOO
It’s 58 laps of:
Knees bouncing
Breath held
Telemetry graphs staring into your soul
Engineers making noises like “ohhh that’s spicy pace”
Lando keeps the lead.
The radio is laced with tension and caffeine.
Zak Brown is clutching a clipboard like it’s a holy artifact.
Oscar is whispering prayers in Australian (which sounds like normal English, but faster).
You’re standing the entire time — pressed against the barrier, eyes glued to screens, knuckles white.
Lap 51.
Someone says, “If we keep this pace we might—”
You slap their arm without looking away.
“DON’T JINX IT.”
Lap 57.
Silence so loud it hurts.
Lap 58.
Crofty is screaming commentary you can barely hear over the sound of your own pulse.
Chequered flag.
NORRIS. P1. CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.
And you swear the entire garage levitates.
✦ THE HUG SEEN AROUND THE WORLD
Lando jumps out of the car like someone shot him out of a cannon.
Helmet still on.
Suit still zipped.
No interviews, no handshakes, no “congrats champ!”
He just sprints — RUNS — for the garage.
Everyone parts like Moses and the Red Sea because they can see he’s not stopping.
He barrels into you, lifting you off your feet.
Your headphones nearly fly off.
Your hair is a mess.
You do NOT care.
He’s shaking.
You’re crying.
Someone (probably Oscar) is shouting:
“GROUP HUG! GROUP HUG RIGHT NOW!”
And suddenly you're in a pile of:
Mechanics
Zak
Oscar
Tyre blankets
Possibly five different elbows
The whole world hears Lando’s voice crack on the radio:
“We did it. Sis— we did it.”
AND THAT’S IT.
TEARS.
EVERYWHERE.
✦ PODIUM: CHAOS LEVEL 9000
Podium celebration highlights:
Oscar spraying champagne directly at you while screaming “GARAGE MUM SUPREMACY.”
A mechanic lifts Zak Brown onto his shoulders like a victorious war hero.
Verstappen actually smiles (rare footage).
Charles Leclerc walks over, hugs Lando, and whispers “finally.”
Carlos calls you “la hermana campeona” and gives you a papaya-stained Ferrari cap “for luck.”
Some chaotic fan angles catch:
You getting hit in the face with champagne
Lando yelling “THIS IS FOR EVERY 2 A.M. KARTING PRACTICE”
Oscar trying to climb the podium railing like a raccoon on caffeine
✦ SOCIAL MEDIA GOES FERAL
Instagram Trending:
#WDCNorris
#SisterGoals
#McLarenFamilyThings
#WhoIsSheANDWHERECANIFindHer
Best comments:
“Find someone who runs to you like Lando runs to his sister.”
“I cried harder at this hug than I did at my own graduation.”
“The McLaren garage has no chill and I respect them.”
“Petition to make her part of strategy team because clearly her snacks are lucky.”
✦ LATE-NIGHT GARAGE QUIET
After podiums.
After media.
After the chaos settles to a quiet hum.
It’s just two siblings sitting on the floor of the darkened garage, backs against stacked tires, helmets off, hair a mess, champagne drying sticky on your clothes.
Lando breaks the silence first, soft:
“Remember when you timed my laps with a stopwatch from the school supply store?”
You smile.
“You beat the kid with the fancy kart that day.”
He nudges you.
“You told me I could do this.”
You shrug.
“You told me you would.”
He leans his head on your shoulder like when he was a kid.
“Thank you for never missing a race.”
You whisper:
“Thank you for proving nine-year-old you right.”
✦ POST-CREDITS SCENE (MCLAREN-STYLE)
Oscar barges in holding three Red Bulls and two random muffins:
“Who wants celebratory sketchy snacks? Also Zak might be stuck in a trophy cabinet, I’m not checking alone.”
You exhale a laugh.
Lando grins, eyes still red.
“Championship garage adventure? Like old times?”
You stand, crack your back, and gesture dramatically.
“Lead the way, World Champion.”
End.
🧡 A/N:
I MADE THIS BECAUSE LANDO NORRIS IS WORLD. CHAMPION. 2025. AND THE MCLAREN GARAGE IS 100% A MENACE TO SOCIETY AND I LOVE THEM. 🧡🔥
p.s to all the boys who said I should be supporting max
Hi Pile One, I hope all is well! Let's get started on your reading!
The channeled message I heard for this pile was "Lust" and "Mysterious" . The vibes you give will leave your fans wanting more from you. You would be the type of celebrity to only show and post what you want people to see and that's all. You won't care to do interviews or attend red carpets and if you are offered to perform or host an event, everything will have to be on your terms 100%. People will give you a pass and allow you whatever you want because they know and trust that you are someone who will deliver performance and engagement wise.
You will have hard core FANS, this is the type of support base that doesn't care that others may feel like they are too fixated on you because they are truly proud to be a STAN of yours. This is the type of fame that will shock a lot of people because this intense and massive support has come in very early into your career. You will have the type of love and support that many have to work for decades to receive. As a celebrity people will naturally support whatever you want to do.
Your peers will be jealous of how free you are and they will be upset because they aren't able to navigate throughout their career the way you can. There will be more eyes on you than you than the typical celebrity. It feels like people will be shocked to see how much love you will be receiving continuously. You will be the type of celebrity to stay to yourself and solely focus on your career and the people in your immediate life. There will be many people who can relate to you even though they may not know too much about you.
There will be a lot of people who will pretend to not know you when asked but behind closed doors they will be so into everything that you do. They will portray this front because they don't want to give you anymore validation than they already have. You have this calm and confident duality when it comes to your energy. This energy makes people feel like you've been in this position before. I'm also getting that people really fall in love with you because you don't speak as often or at all. This is something that will open a lot of doors for you because people won't be able to twist your words and opinions on subjects.
Even though your peers will feel salty about the success you are receiving, it won't deter you from moving forward with your own plans and ideas. Plus the immense support from your supporters will play a significant role in the directions you decide to take as well. You will be that A list celebrity that's super popular, rich and nonchalant but also very down to earth and generous. And people will begin to see this side of you once you start donating to animal shelters and less fortunate people. You may even built and give out resources that helps provide shelter and support for people and animals within your city.
The final message that I'm getting is that you will have many people looking up to you and following behind you. This is something that will change the way people view celebrities, because of how involved you are within the community and how giving you are. You will receive the key to your city and other cities for inspiring and educating the generations to grow and do better as a unity. I see you shaking hands and sitting in rooms with very important people. I'm seeing that you will have that "Presidential" protection everywhere you go, this protection and respect will come from your community and all of your fans. They will have your back and support you no matter what because they truly love and care for you.

Pile 2.)
Hi Pile Two, I hope all is well! Let's get started on your reading! The channeled message I heard was "Sporty and Free Spirited". I do see that there are many different opinions about how you behave as a celebrity. People are expecting you to be untouchable in a way but that's not the case here. They often see you around like at the bookstore, coffee shop, shopping or even casually walking through the park. You give off Girl/Guy next door vibes and it makes people feel comfortable around but also very jealous of you because they can get so close to you but not be able to get close enough to having your status.
I do see that your name will be in the media a lot because of how comfortable and local you are and with that media attention will come a lot of criticism. But, with this behavior, I feel like there will be a changes happening with how people view celebrities. This will make people take celebrities off of a pedestal and make them feel more comfortable walking around freely. I do feel that this new perspective may wear off because people will come to the realization that they aren't in the same boat as you. Some will feel this way while others will feel that you don't have as much as others because you don't carry yourself like other celebrities do.
You may have a few messages from Pile One, I feel like you will be doing some charity work. I see you raising a lot of money for the greater good. Clearly there's a lot of off putting energy from people. But there is a change here that will happen, this could be something within you that ultimately changes. You will give people the vibe that you like to experiment and test people a lot. It seems like they are being tested for too long to the point that they forget they were being tested in the first place.
Okay so the "Change" energy that I'm seeing here is that people will eventually change their opinions of you from negative and judgmental to positive and supportive. But they have to see the full picture of who you are and what you really stand for. I do feel that unfortunately this may change the way you view people or just the people in this specific area. I see you being the type of celebrity that wants to learn in depth about they way things operate and now that you are stepping into this position of fame and financial freedom, you have more questions than answers.
I see you being the type of celebrity the doesn't care to hang out with other celebrities or even date them. You may even challege many celebrities to do more for their communites and call them out for being selfish towards the very people that helped them get to where they are. You are more for the "normal" people. You're not meant to be nor do you want to be " high and mighty" I feel that with the prior message about how people were feeling about your behavior has a lot to do with a point you are trying to prove and show people.
But it takes this very moment for them to understand that your initial approach was in support of the community and not a stunt for publicity. I'm seeing that despite this controversial debut into your success, you are still down to earth and loving. And people will respect this but I also see for some, it may be too late for people to receive your good grace especially if they were harsh with their opinions about you. I see that you will be praised for your intelligence. You didn't rush to get to this position, you took your time and took the long creative route and many will respect this about you.

Pile 3.)
Hi Pile Three, I hope all is well! Let's get started on your reading! Wow, wow, wow! Pile Three, you definitely have a lot of energy in this pile. The channeled message I received was " Missing Out". Many people will look at you as the one they missed out on. And people who don't know you will feel that you are someone who is enjoying life and that inspires them to do the same. I feel that you are the type that don't say too much when it comes down to your life. You are the type who can show people better than you can tell them. There is a lot of people who are curious about you because you give off a very mysterious vibe. I see that you will be teaching people something, this could be a class about a specific skill or a course in business.
There will be some jealousy and people not believing that you made it into this position authentically. But they honestly feel this way because they don't want to understand or work as hard as you did to get to where you are. You are someone who is very serious about your craft, name and brand. I feel like the haters also stem from the fact that you don't tell them everything that you are working on. You have some people who really want to know your every move from the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep.
You will be the type of celebrity that takes pride in your work and you don't mind giving back and supporting the ones who are actively working towards their goals. I see you being very busy with your work. It's not a stressful busy though. This is the type of busy that many successful people love because you will have many clients and high sales. And I see that you will be making many changes when it comes to your business, you could be finally opening up your physical shop or you could be opening up a second or third business.
I see that you will be the type of celebrity that's always on the go, from traveling to meetings, hosting event and taking vacations. I was hearing Bratz and Barbie, you have the lifestyle that every fashionista wishes for. You will be the type of celebrity that people will have fun with but they also know they can't get over on you at all. I see that if there is some type of controversy surrounding your name, you will gladly shut down anything and anyone that tries to defame your name and brand. I'm seeing that people will be afraid to interview you because they feel that you will outwit and out smart them at their own game.
I'm seeing people letting you take charge and doing as you please because they don't want any problems at all. You will have a strong team around you and they will always make sure you are putting your best foot forward. Some of you could get married in the public eye or your wedding may go viral because of how beautiful your wedding is. I feel that many people underestimate how hard you work, especially if they haven't looked into all of the work that you have done. There will be many people who will speak highly of you and that will make people extremely excited to meet you.
But I see that many people want to sit and learn from you, you may notice how quiet it gets once you begin to speak and how you have everyone's undivided attention. You will attract people of all ages and all walks of life and I see that many of your peers and mutuals will desperately want to collab with you. You will be the type of celebrity that will have the life of everyone's dreams. I see many sponsors, endorsements and investors pouring at lot of time and finances into you. Your energy is very contagious and it makes people want to gravitate towards you.
You will have many people trying to duplicate your vibes and style but they won't come close and this is something that will bother them and make them feel lost. But they will also find inspiration through your words of wisdom and encouragement. You will have many ways of making your haters fall in love with you so effortlessly. The final message I'm getting is that once you step foot into this new lifestyle, your life will get easier and easier. I'm hearing " One right move", that one right move you make towards your career will ultimately change your life forever. Some of you are closer to entering this new world than you think. :)
