All the little Oscah's! in Lando's f124 video

I'm so sorry I'm still catching up but goddd this was the cutest shit !!

Lando's absolutely delighted little gasp when he says Oscahah!

the fact that they have Oscar do the nervous sniff and little bunny nose twitch as well as that little pout ?? that's insane realism

literally Lando's brain has to comment on or at least process Oscar's hair every time he sees him like I genuinely want to understand why it's a neurodivergent fixation where no one else's hair is

little nosy peek into Oscar's garage

nagging even videogame Oscar for being in the way

the little Oscar "woooo!" ;__;

[inchidentally]

Okay so I was thinking about why Oscar didn’t go and congratulate Lando right after his win but I think the answer is quite simple. It’s because he felt a little at odds with himself.

He lost out in that race because of the safety car the same one that secured Lando’s chance. (you can hear him audibly swear over the radio when it came out, which he NEVER does) He was pissed at the timing and then to top it all off gets his race ruined by Carlos of all people (again) and THEN when he’s desperately trying to force his way back thought he field he’s told to stop fighting because Lando is in the lead.

So whilst I’m sure he was happy for Lando, he was, at the same time, mourning his own loss. As he should! He’s a racing driver. he should be pissed at losing especially at no fault of his own.

So he gave Lando the space, let him take in his well deserved victory and once he’d calmed he congratulated Lando earnestly, without his feeling for his own race getting in the way!

And I think it’s says a lot about how understanding and kind Oscar is. He knew if he congratulated Lando as soon as they crossed the line he wouldn’t have meant it enough so he waited until he did mean it.

What do you think?

KES BABE you're gonna make me long post !!!

I've actually got to weigh in (pun intended) with a very real technicality that my cousin pointed out when I was looking for Oscar once we finally got to watch!

all of the drivers who congratulated Lando not only were father figures/big brother figures to him, they also finished in the top 10 and quite literally had finished their weigh in nice and quick - the exception being Daniel who did not have to go and see the stewards. quite literally Oscar had to wait toward the back of the queue to finish his parc ferme shit (did we ever even get eyes on him?) from there he had to go see the stewards. depending on who they spoke to first out of him, Carlos and KMag and how long they kept him in the meeting, from there he'd have had to find out where Lando was (celebrating? interviews? cool down room?) and then run around to wherever he was. and ofc if he was in cool down he wouldn't have been allowed in.

so technically maybe Lando would've still been easy to find in Oscar's gap between finishing in parc ferme and going to the stewards, he might also have been stood waiting for his interview or even doing it or he might have already headed to the cool down room etc etc etc.

but I am NOT going to expect Oscar to try and navigate all of that when he not only had his top 3 position ruined but now he also had to go and find out if he was going to be penalized as well !!

especially when he knows he's got ample time to congratulate Lando anyway and Oscar is not remotely the type to care if cameras are around to broadcast it or not. the other non-podium drivers were going to entirely different garages and who knows when they'd cross paths with Lando again.

so honestly I personally think this all came down to technicalities more than anything else and if Oscar had finished in the top 10 at least then he would've absolutely been right there to congratulate Lando both for the ease of it but also bc it wouldn't have been as awful a result even if did receive a penalty.

and equally if he had the time to think of it, he would've assumed Carlos was already headed up there to congratulate Lando (and possibly could have seen him) and it was not !! the time for Oscar and Carlos to cross paths at that moment !!

BUT AS YOU SAID !! I think if there was time for him to get past the frustration and anger at what had happened to his own race and those mitigating factors weren't as much of an issue as I'm guessing they were, we know damn well that he'd be thinking what you said <3<3 bc even when things are going horrendously for him, Oscar never loses his head. and if he at all thought he'd bring his own negativity to the biggest moment in Lando's career so far then no WAY would he have risked it.

and bottom line is that one hug has ended up paling in comparison with how much Oscar was there for Lando in Oscar accepting 50% of the upgrades, obeying team orders for Lando rather than trying to get back in the points, showing up for Lando's celebrations twice in a major way, then going out to celebrate him all night long and posting about his win on social media for days afterward <3 like sure it would've had wider publicity if there'd been a hug right after - but Lando's beaming smile and thanking Oscar shows that he doesn't rate publicity as being more significant than everything else Oscar did for him that weekend ;__;

and what's actually really killed me is that surely surely there had to be an element of it for Lando where he remembered last year telling the press how it stung and hurt that Oscar had achieved any kind of win before him. that Oscar was never a showboat about it and always specified that it was a sprint win and not a real race win. that Lando was always the one to bring it up and give Oscar his dues but that Oscar never brought it up again afterward himself. and the mounting anxiety for Lando of what if Oscar got that race win before him? and how much that anxiety must have been at it's peak watching Oscar leading in Miami?? literally I think it would've been too much to humanly expect Lando to cope at all well. I think the absolute least amount of grace we would have given him would be to not go and immediately celebrate it with Oscar but honestly? if he'd decided to just do his post race interviews and slip away quietly until the video with Andrea then none of us would have judged him for it AT ALL. it would have been an unavoidably bittersweet day and knowing what the press and haters would have done to him would have paled in comparison to Lando having to live with knowing that Oscar got there first and so much quicker. and genuinely I think it would have taken a certain amount of shine off of it for Oscar as well and he would not have even slightly expected Lando to put himself through any more of it than strictly necessary for appearances.

(seriously I think we all breathed a sigh of relief over this win as much as we were elated about it !! we will never have to exist in a timeline where Oscar got his race win before Lando)

so not only will Lando have not remotely expected Oscar to show up in parc ferme for a hug, he has clearly counted every moment of Oscar celebrating his win as golden and beyond the call of teammate duty. and that not only did he make sure that posterity recorded Oscar's achievements earlier in that race, he made sure that he thanked him by setting the example of what could be done on just half the upgrades.

we all expected each of the hugs Lando got right after that race. each of those men has helped to raise Lando and has watched him since he was small and awkward and painfully shy and suffering heart-wrenching race results. they needed to hold their boy in his moment of purest happiness.

but none of us could have reasonably assumed how Oscar - only just out of his rookie season and Lando's teammate of just one season and a bit - would react to such a devastating race for himself while also on the biggest day of his teammate's career to date.

one hug would honestly have been a perfectly fine bare minimum and plenty of other drivers would have called that good and begged off.

equally tho one measly hug shouldn't make anyone underestimate how extraordinarily above and beyond and then some Oscar has been for Lando for the past week. that not only has he celebrated it and celebrated Lando, he's done so in proportion to people older than him who have known Lando much longer than him and who are not direct rivals to Lando.

like genuinely, the general F1 fans keep saying what a gentlemen and exemplary one-of-a-kind teammate Oscar has been through all of this and they're absolutely right. we not only got to rejoice in Lando's win, we also get to rejoice that he has a teammate who has proven his worth and made the McLaren driver partnership secure for the years they have to come <3<3

GIRL! ANOTHER CRUMBS! (something around Singapore) <3

bless you !!! and omg they're genuinely so good at this together bc I never would've gotten any of them ?? esp mining ??

also big brain Andrea saying how these two unknowingly use the same terminology as each other during feedback about the car makes so much sense here

God, this is the first time my beautiful eyes see this photo. I miss them even more <3

NEITHER HAVE I THEY'RE SO CUTE ??

[inchidentally]

I HOPE YOU ARE SITTING ON A CHAIR SOMEWHERE! WHY DO I ONLY NOW SEE THAT OSCAR SAID THIS TO LANDO! THIS COMPLETELY SMASHED ME OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH :( https://x.com/LNFOURS/status/1763423259226493435?s=20

OK OK LISTEN - I had my own lipread on this but honestly either of these seems possible and they're both so ????

so this is the twitter video

and here's the gif I made from the Unboxed bc I wanted to see it a bit bigger

and see I always thought he said "come on, mate" in a "nah, we're gonna properly hug none of that leaning in stuff!" which always KILLED me bc I could tell that Oscar chose to lay low with his personality that year after all the drama (and not just a little bit of 'oh god I've been a huge fan of this guy for eight years and now I'm his teammate oh god') (and side side note him having seen the previous bromances Lando had Oscar was wary of coming off as if he were trying to manufacture one to help his own image) he was so much more open and relaxed in F2 and F3. and for someone as tactile as Lando it's not even a stretch to say that Oscar being so quiet and physically reserved threw him when it came to getting to know Oscar. we all know Silverstone was the big turning point for them in every way so Oscar being the one to go all bring it in and squeeze his arm around Lando's waist and Lando absolutely beaming about it just !!!

but if he said "I'm going to put my arm around you" it's the same thing but with the added impression he doesn't want to startle the cat !! like, he knows how it's been with Lando and that it's unfortunately been established that they don't do casual physical stuff - so rather than just tugging Lando in, he gives a heads up so that Lando can lean into it as much as he chooses and that's unbearably sweet ;__;

I'm such a broken record but seriously the way they connect and do that twinning thing but are so cautious about physical touch is so weird and sweet and unique and idk idk idk

THE NAGGING HAS BEGUN FOR 2024

Obsessed with Lando saying this to himself and not listening to anyone else: tiktok com/@tiinatin4/video/7338813612284235041

goddd the licking his lips, predatory expression, staring Oscar up and down - and exactly he straight up doesn't listen to anything anyone says in response, just musing to himself about how Oscar is so deliciously young and so deliciously tall and how nice to have had a fresh young tall boy bought for him by McLaren

Jesus Christ, Oscar in that first gif. I really don't know what to say. This is what a person in love looks like.

like this was BARELY amusing and you'd think Oscar was 45mins deep into a professional comedy set by how hard he laughs

how fucking pleased w himself was Lando when he came back from months apart and was like ahhhh yes he's still emotionally hobbled by an inconvenient crush on me very good

[inchidentally]

Confession:

Charles Leclerc is not just handsome man but also has feminine beauty and makes him more hot than other drivers can ever be 🫡

[inchidentally]

ok this is heinously unrelated but I was scrolling through TikTok and saw this and WHY DO THEY LOOK SO SIMILAR

I’ve never actually seen the show so I can’t speak on character personality but the resemblance is there

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRcV88sF/

OH MY GOD

I haven't seen much abt the show either but wOWWW the looklike is crazy??

[inchidentally]

https://x.com/mclglaz/status/1733650592633917593?s=20 What more can I add? This is so adorable I really don't know what else to say. Seriously, you could say that Oscar really wanted Lando to be his first teammate in F1 <3

oh. oh Oscar.

he was sixteen years old and literally already had his teenage dream planned out

I know we already had some of these (oh wait and also these) but if someone wants to take the bullet and screen record a tour of Oscar's Lando obsession we'd all be eternally grateful

(and like Lando tweeting at Carlos as a teen was at least vaguely race related and he did that to a few drivers so like the hustle at least had a purpose - Oscar is just certifiably confirming that yes he does stare at Lando all the time because he's coping with a roughly 6 year actually wait make that 8 year crush)

Oscar is just insane.

The speed.

The hood.

The gaze.

What in the world?

BABE. BABUH.

Lando literally just looked at him and Oscar came over so fast he needed to use the handbrake (hand as a brake) ??? it's giving Under the Sunset Spiderman Landoscar by @charlclerc where all Lando has to do is want Spiderman to show up and for some reason !! Oscar comes zooming in with unusual speed ??

pushing the hoodie off and looking all rumpled and sweet and willing to cancel naptime if it means Lando needs him for something

the fact that Lando didn't look over before introducing Oscar so like was Oscar just standing off to the side wit his hood up watching Lando like a little creep? beloved

"this man right here" to pile into my theory about Lando using honorifics when referring to Oscar

and holy fuck Lando looking so good and having that air of confidence he gets sometimes literally no wonder he can just say Oscar's name and Oscar is falling over himself like a dog for a treat

Oh? This could be good <3

tysm anon!!! ahavsjbdjd if they ask Oscar trivia questions about Lando then our boy is cooked

[inchidentally]

This ruined me! OH MY GOD :(

https://x.com/sleepynorris/status/1728299269830877688?s=20

oh my goddddd

ok but you know what ESPECially kills me about this edit? how it shows that Oscar looks at Lando with steady confident fascination and affection. whereas Lando ?? the cocky Lando who can now lock eyes and confidently bump his chest into big sexy alphas Carlos and Daniel and not even flinch ?? is looking back at Oscar so vulnerable and flustered and his body language gets smaller and fidgety.

because Oscar walked into being Lando's teammate fully aware and at home with this crush, even if he still can't quite believe the boy from his phone screen is right there in front of him. but Lando is used to big bold affection from men who don't even bother with boundaries or subtlety (and why should they he's delicious) and suddenly there's this lovely boy who respects Lando's space with everything but his intense brown eyes and Lando can't quite believe there's a new way for men to fall in love with him but! and what does he do when Oscar doesn't say it with words or with touch like the others? what do you do with a boy who is happy to just look at you like that? even when you're looking at your new shiny trophy and you look up to see him looking at you the same way? oh what do you do ??
