Lando spanking assaulting Alex live on air

I was watching the recent chrysanthemum video and had a thought. I feel like Oscar is the type of guy who would see the Quadrant video where Lando overtly mentions dyslexia, then goes off and read all the articles on dyslexia and how to help and support a colleague with dyslexia. The way he was patient, broke it down, used hand gestures to separate the syllables. That’s all stuff they teach teachers to do. He just strikes me as the type of person who would go off on his own without telling anyone and learn how to be a supportive teammate (and friend?).

see part of me wants to be like nahhh Oscar would've been a teenager when he watched that video (and we can at least safely say he watched it lsafhsalf) and probably he wouldn't have put in the effort to look it up beyond what he already knew... but then Oscar has engineering/inquisitive brain and honestly maybe he did ??

the thing that struck me that I tried to get across in this gifset is that Oscar studies Lando and always has. he used to find obscure posts about Lando on social media where he'd be one of just two likes on it. and while he'd fanboy over other drivers a few years ahead of him as well, he doesn't really do that sort of obvious studying with anyone else. he always treated other drivers as mates and equals and gave as good as he got. he's always been observant of the people he cares about and we saw that with how he's careful to make sure Logan is okay now that they're in F1. but the way Oscar has kind of anthologized Lando, while not wanting to let it be too overtly known, is pretty Lando-specific as far as we know.

and this is such a huuuuge reach on my part but I feel like this is so far removed from the sort of attention and proof of affection that Lando gets from people that he probably doesn't notice it for the most part ?? Lando is used to bromances and social media interactions and mutual hobbies being the way guys show him friendship and attention. then there's Oscar who more than once has tried to kind of hide how much he already knows about Lando before even meeting as teammates and who doesn't take the opportunity to push himself even more into Lando's life outside of being his teammate. and like, assuming Lando has a typical 20-something guy's ability to sit down and think about this stuff then it feels very likely that he only sees that Oscar won't do the usual bare minimum of friendliness and is a bit hmmmm! about it. not that I think he'd be consciously thinking any of that aslfgjlagfla more that he'd get a sort of feeling from it and just assume Oscar didn't want to hang out.

and the thing is, something Lando can and has come to just reliably depend on from Oscar is that he can fully relax into whatever mood he's feeling and Oscar will never snap or get bored or take over the way most people kind of understandably do. he'll patiently adapt and obey Lando scolding him to do one thing while Lando then does the exact opposite. he'll change his own habits bc Lando has existing ones and Oscar isn't as reliant on his own as Lando is. so tbh anon, Oscar has already cracked the code of realizing that to understand Lando is to accept the endless sides of him that exist at any given time sooooo is it rly that weird to think he looked up dyslexia when Lando said he has it ??

and the fact that most people don't get that about Lando (honestly probably just his family and Max and maybe Martin?) is why he tends to be the little satellite person to the other guys on the grid he's friends with - they're all these big, determined and distinct personalities and Lando always waits for them to throw the first volley so he can throw it back and keep up that way. he's never the leader and he knows he's got to curb the brattier instincts or else risk getting shoved off a chair or scolded lasfgslajfgl. the carlando box challenge at the aus gp was a real call back to this bc Lando went right back to the kid who can barely eke words out and who watches Carlos lead and make jokes and play-bully Lando through it. and I think this is fully comfortable and natural for him! he was the same way with Alex and George in the karting challenge and it's also how he's always been with them. but it's interesting to me how some fans seem to think that's the only way Lando is comfortable around friends and that the Lando who has slowly emerged since being the senior driver for McLaren (and with Oscar at his side) is a bit of a stranger.

some people have definitely linked their Oscar/landoscar hate with Lando seeming so much more serious and less needy/silly since Oscar showed up in his life and F1 career. Lando's slowly realized that the position of authority that Oscar kept giving him felt really nice actually! that maybe he doesn't have to be a part of a bromance to make a teammate partnership feel solid and steady and he doesn't always need to be a fun sidekick to keep McLaren fans happy. he's always had the tendency to want to be his own man and to be more serious sometimes, it's a natural part of his personality that's grown and developed as he's matured and gained more confidence in himself. he did say that Oscar was a little part of that simply by setting the example of being true to yourself and trusting it. esp seeing a guy who's technically younger than him feel so comfortable in his own skin and how that relates to Oscar's lack of "mistakes" (Lando's word) in his driving. all of that appealed to the parts of Lando that were already growing out of being a kid. but we'd seen it before in glimpses in videos with Max and Quadrant and in Lando's solo F1 interviews.

and like, personally !! I absolutely love seeing this latest version of Lando. he's so much more focused on his identity as a unique creative and experienced individual in all of his content and interviews rather than just a fun-loving guy making his own way through the world. which he still is ofc! and a major part of this is how McLaren have allowed Lando and Oscar to represent different aspects of the McLaren business and mission statement, it rly keeps the ethos of equality and respect going in all areas of their roles. Oscar gets back from winter break early and does early sim testing at MTC while Lando is still on his break. Lando arrives early in Melbourne to do filming for Quadrant and Oscar arrives a day later to spend time with family. Lando flies straight back from Melbourne after the race and leads the debrief at MTC while Oscar stays in Australia films content for their emissions and conservation work in the Great Barrier Reef.

and literally it kills me too that we aren't getting silly fun content of them together buttttt this was all part of a bigger meeting at some point before the season and we have literally the youngest pairing on the grid who are continuing to be among the most powerful and McLaren know they can entrust unique parts of the company's representation to each of them after just ONE year of them being together ??? I feel like this is absolutely huge and an enormous vote of confidence from them in each other and in the team that's honestly unique even among most drivers let alone partnerships just one season in and neither of them having hit 25 yet ???? loyalty and investment rather than self-interest and forever chasing after something better !!

this has gone insaaaaanely long and meandering but my original response to you anon was yes, I love that Oscar is considerate and genuinely interested in what makes Lando tick and I love even more that Lando has so easily slipped into Oscar being a Safe Space Person. and I think all I'd like to know is that Lando can tell that Oscar doesn't show affection or friendliness by the usual methods, especially to people he considers truly important in his life. and that Oscar's made it very clear how much he considers Lando to one of those people. I feel like someone needs to clunk their heads together and be like you idiots are so comfortable with each other and you trust each other so much after such a short time together so don't have any miscommunications about it bc you're guys and you're young and lack emotional awareness and circumspection !!!
