Scenario: in which lando norris’ history with his new teammate leads people to believe they don’t like one another, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. (requested)
Pairing: lando norris x male!reader
A/N: we need more rep for male readers 🙌🏻 had so much fun making this one and as per usual, shout-out to @renarots for fueling this

Anyone who’s an up-to-date F1 fan knows all about this rivalry, but just in case you don’t, here’s a quick rundown.
It all started in their karting days. Every race they would go wheel to wheel, and often finish right behind the other. They pushed each other, both metaphorically and physically. In one race, a desperate attempt to overtake YN saw Lando Norris taking himself out of the race.
A few years later, the two would be promoted to Formula One, in which Lando signed to Mclaren, and Yn signed to Alpine - a mistake, if you ask me…or any other fan of his. That being said, it wasn’t Yn’s first choice. Mclaren was openly considering Lando Norris AND Yn Ln, but ultimately chose to sign Norris, with Daniel Ricciardo occupying the second seat. This only fed into their rivalry.
During their rookie year, they fought at the back of the pack as they learned the reigns of F1, but as Norris improved throughout the seasons, Yn was left behind. There’s a lot to unpack in regards to that, but in the simplest of terms, his team has constantly prioritized Pierre Gasly, their second driver, despite him being the inferior talent between the two. We’ve seen this happen with other teams, and that never ends well.
All of that leads to this shocking revelation: Yn Ln is joining the Mclaren Formula One Team. While we can’t say for sure how this will play out, we can speculate. Will they move past their differences and become the ultimate team? Or, will they become the next brocedes?

racing.news lando norris has addressed the rumors regarding his relationship with his teammate. norris, 24, said “at the end of the day, i like who i like. i don’t want to put a label on it. it being my sexuality and my relationship with my teammate - those are private matters and have nothing to do with formula one.”
what are your thoughts?

norrisnation i just hate that they’re wrapped up in this. even if they are dating, i wish they could just be left alone.
rizzciardo we do not give a fuck about them dating. let people love people without questioning their shit 24/7
landomania FORGET WHAT LANDO SAID LOOK AT HOW HE’S LOOKING AT YN IN THE FIRST PICTURE
maxfewtrell my thoughts are that people should mind their business, politely
⤷ norrisnation SPEAK YOUR TRUTH KING 🙌🏻 we love to see you supporting and defending them

ynsworld anyone else noticing that yn seems less happy lately?
⤷ norrisyn YES BRO 😭 it hurts bc he was so happy at the beginning of the season after alpine fucked him over
⤷ ynlandolover honestly i think it’s bc of the rumors. imagine being there to race and all anyone can do is ask about your sexuality and relationship AND most of the questions are clearly judgemental
⤷ papayabull yeah, i feel for yn :( i hope the rumors and shit chill down bc he doesn’t deserve it
rizzciardo they’re so in love it makes me sick
⤷ norrisnation literally 😭 even if they’re just friends, they have so much love for each other and it’s obvious
verstappensboy was 100% certain they were gonna kiss
⤷ formulanorris ain’t even gonna lie, i feel like they considered it for a second. maybe i’m teaching but between their posts, rumors, landos statement, etc, i feel like they are dating
⤷ formulayn honestly same, but i’d avoid speculation online just in case they see it. they both want to keep the details private and we should respect it yk?

I sent the ask about the post race interview and how their dynamic is so complicated for me. This is the interview I was referencing: https://twitter.com/i/status/1437109754044706823
okay holy shit. i had to let this rest a few days so it could linger in my mind a bit and i could try and process it all.
max’s voice goes incredibly soft when he says those few words.
"No in the heat of the moment it's best to walk off and cool down, ᶦ'ᵐ ˢᵘʳᵉ ʷᵉ'ˡˡ ᵗᵃˡᵏ ᵃᵇᵒᵘᵗ ᶦᵗ"
thats literally what it sounds like. he goes so baby when he says that.
maybe he’s worried? like he’ll have to prepare this conversation and be ready for it, thoughts and emotions cooled down before anything leaves his mouth before he says something bad?
…or maybe because he doesn’t wanna ruin what he and Lewis have, and worries he’s fucked up?
god, you missed things during brocedes era, but honestly, this is much better. this is two guys constantly fighting with themselves over the whole I Don’t Hate You Personally But I Want This Championship. it’s them wanting so badly to get along, to show the respect they have for each other, so long it doesn’t fuck up their own race, their own chance at the championship. it’s the constant need of separating business and friendship, of not dragging the race results and the crashes with them to their mutual friendship, but then it does.
this sport is a dangerous one, not even because of the risks, but because of the insane amount of adrenaline that races through one’s head when he races, and what of that adrenaline lingers when he is no longer racing.
this ship is a dangerous one, for that reason alone. they want to get close, lewis hugged max in zandvoort! they want to be happy for each other, they want to praise & compliment each other !!!!!!! but they also so, so desperately want to beat each other. and then the big question is, which do you deem more important? winning, or this relationship?

Usually as I find more and more unflattering lore about my blorbos it cures my obsession but for some reason w/ Nico it just makes me even more intrigued. It's not even always apologia lol sometimes I just think "thats horrible" with no "but it's ok". Also by the way I've noticed you're very keen on Max (and I'm not) so I'm eager to see if you can convince me of that too (as you did with brocedes)
this is a really interesting ask! one thing about me is I'm for haters rights. I'm a hater myself, and sports needs antagonist to your protags -- it's simply more fun, and I'm here to have fun. I've got people here who hate macks, lewis, lando; and that's fine by me. you like who you like. if you hate Nico it'll probably be a bit awkward but yeah lol... I'm going to essay because you've caught me in a Mood so buckle in
I'm not necessarily in the business on converting people either... I think people are just attracted to other passionate people... the love for a blorbo is infectious. i follow so many DR girlies that he's like a son-in-law to me. so this won't be me converting me but in true max fashion I will be maxplaining my thoughts that no one asked for while you're stuck captive 😈
onto unpleasant lore. there is simply no one with a perfect, unblemished history. Nico's greenwashing, privileged, tone deaf, not even gonna Touch the 💉, a little bit manipulative girlboss slay. even the very best of the grid are ultimately filthy rich, sportswashing, and hypocritical -- esp if they're climate activists. none of our blorbos are immune
i think it also helps with Nico that he's retired, beyond talking shit he doesn't actually pose a threat to your blorbo on the grid. Max is the world champion so he's everyone on the grid's pain in the ass rn. I think there's a lot of fair reasons to hate max, and then there's a lot of unfair reasons that's more popular narrative. how I got into Nico was I saw a bunch of people on twitter hating him and I was like lol who's This guy 😂🤣 let me learn more about him so I'm an Informed hater🤓 and then... well 🥴
if you don't like macks, that's okay! you don't even need a "valid" reason. i wanna punch Lance Stroll in the face, I don't have a reason for it. we don't choose our blorbos.
why I enjoy max is cause
a) sick racer. seriously, generational talent. there's this idea that he's some super unsafe crash happy driver but that's really not true, and that narrative is from 2016 -- when he was a wee baby 17 year old. Imagine you're defined by how you were at 17 🫥 I would die. we are watching history in the making: and we'll be seeing him on the grid for many more years inshallah. sexy ass racing... and no it's not cause he's got the best car. i think just how much fun he had wheel to wheel racing with a broken car against Mick in France showed that. this dude just loves racing the way you and I will never love anything
b) he's just Some Guy.
there's a lot of narratives about how evil he is.... but my understanding of him is a dude who doesn't care to play along with the PR optics of a situation. He's blunt, he's honest -- it can be off putting to some, but I find it really refreshing. if you ask him if he's scared of Marc's straight line speed, he'll just say no. yes king give me nothing!! he is the ultimate what you're seeing is what you're getting. he's simply max :)
what I love about him is his innate self belief. he had a dad who projected all his failed ambitions on him, and the post linked by bella does a good job of explaining the parental abuse. I also speak about it here. fandom ofc cannot handle a topic that nuanced, which leads to the worst fucking takes of all time. max is not defined by his abuse, rather time and again he's shown how much so much more, so full of love. he was practically groomed to be a racer, but he's so much more than the weight of the expectations put on him since childhood. there's this interview of baby teen max asking if he thinks he'll be a better racer than his dad and he just says "I am." you need to have that kind of faith in yourself, and prove it!!!!!!!
his whole circle is friends from years back, his mom and his sister, and his gf/her kid. he's literally 24, rich, successful he can have or do anything he wants, and he just likes chilling with his family and playing the sim 🥺 a family dude through and through
beyond that, he's truly just Some Dude. he's got a dry sarcastic sense of humour, has mommy issues, likes to be in the arms of other stronger men, he comes across as a dude with a decent head on his shoulders. yes he bitches in the car and swears a lot and breaks his DRS button pressing it 50 times, and then goes to say he thinks he's pretty calm lolol I love unreliable narrators. it also says a lot that most of the grid likes him, Daniel, Fernando, Lando, Carlos, Charl, he's capable of being a normal dude off the track who isn't untouchable.
C) tits and thighs
before I got into f1, I saw this black and white video of max from Abu Dhabi celebrations, drunk as shit, in some dude's arms singing "we are the champions" I knew NOTHING about him beyond he just became the world champion of ??? something, and he seems so, so happy. and for me that's all it took. that's my golden shoe boy.
I think he's simply lovely :)

Now I want your words on Sewis <3
oh. well. i save this one bcs i was too drugged yday to be coherent, i have just made coffee, tho im stil soooo tired ugh. coffee my beloved <3 also joana my beloved <3
fundamental understanding? i dont know they are just. they have been racing together for like, over fifteen years. since they were both cocky kids with too much talent. and like. god i dont know. i find them like. okay so you know how i went insane and wrote 2k essay about how nico and seb are the same person in different font, and you know how the whole brocedes thing went down? i just think that with seb lewis like, he saw that you can have a healthy relationship. they both said something clicked in 2017, after seb hit lewis in baku. after he actually apologized and took responsibility for that. and i like to think lewis was like hm. okay. so this guy is ready to say im sorry. ready to admit fault. i dont know how not to appreciate this. and seb didnt win, i think that is also very important. seb didnt win in ferrari, and lewis kept winning, and im not sure how that impacted them, but i think it forced seb, the youngest world champion ever, to reasses whats important to him and realize all sorts of things about the power imbalances and discrimination in f1 and grow up a lot. and maybe he realized what it was like for lewis. character development, baby. so lewis is settled here, seb isnt. i dont know, i just think theyre like. soft. always in each others orbit. honest men? they are from the same generation and they are both smart and theyve both went through hardships and i just think they really understand each other. they have respect for each other, as men, as competition, on every level. and thats. thats just very appealing.
i may not be making much sense now either but like. this is all that brain can produce on the first coffee. <3
