silent carnival | ln4, op81
Tumblr media
i will just leave this here without any particular comment. im glad that the las vegas is over and im even more glad that lando is okay. anyway, please enjoy it as always!
summary: lando crashed and went to the hospital, y/n and oscar coming to the rescue
warnings: nothing i think
pairing: lando norris x fem!mclarendriver x oscar piastri
Tumblr media
The prevailing silence in the car was almost deafening, even the radio didn't dare to hum songs. The only audible sound was the quiet engine working at full throttle, ready to reach the destination as quickly as possible.
Y/N and Oscar sat next to each other in the back seat, gazing at the night landscapes illuminated by fiercely glowing neon lights. Neither of them was in the mood for conversation. The atmosphere was truly worse than gloomy.
Las Vegas was way much more than intense. The city pulsated with nightlife, decidedly more than any other place where Formula 1 had the pleasure to visit. That's why the silence that surrounded the McLaren drivers was quite shocking. However, this silence was entirely justified. It emerged when the orange car with number four on it submerged in sparks and concluded its disastrous ride in the barriers. Right then, all of Las Vegas froze; right then, the entire McLaren garage held its breath.
When the taxi parked at the hospital driveway, the pair quickly stepped outside and headed towards the entrance. After talking to the woman in the reception point and facing temporary difficulties finding the right room, they humbly sat on chairs in front of it. They had to wait until the tests were completed and the doctors left the room, allowing them to come in.
Seeing Y/N nervous, Oscar wordlessly embraced her, providing comfort. She closed her eyes and leaned on his shoulder, knowing well that she wouldn't calm down until she saw Lando with her own eyes.
After some time, when two doctors and a nurse left, the couple entered the room. Lando was genuinely surprised to see his friends, but he smiled seeing them.
The girl quickly approached the bed, ready to hug him, but she hesitated and lowered her outstretched arms, not wanting to cause him unnecessary pain. However, Lando pulled himself up a bit, reaching out to her and allowing the embrace. Oscar exchanged a reassuring look with his friend, smiling at him encouragingly. He sat on the bed and also hugged Lando, soothingly patting his back.
"You gave us quite a scare," Y/N murmured, still holding him tightly.
"It looked worse than the actual outcome it brought," he replied.
After some time, she pulled away and sat beside him, scrutinizing him carefully. Fortunately, there were no signs of serious injuries, just a few bruises and bumps.
"Thank goodness you're okay," Oscar said, glancing at him. However, Lando didn't seem overly comforted.
"Maybe I'm fine, but I completely fucked the car. I'd rather something happened to me than—" "Don't even say that," Y/N quickly interrupted him, scolding him with her gaze.
"Our cars have been total crap for a few races now, so I think you did a favor to the factory people," Oscar remarked with a reassuring smile, lifting Lando's spirits a bit, although he still shook his head.
"Total massacre. At least you fought for our honor," Norris said, looking at the aussie.
"Fought is an understatement. Oscar was ready to throw hands," the girl laughed at his comment.
"Maybe it's for the best, considering how much of a disaster the track was. And you just crashed and hopped into the warm and comfy ambulance without giving a fuck—lots of space, delicious, perfectly chilled water, phew," Piastri joked, maintaining a serious demeanor.
Lando chuckled, nodding in agreement. "I'm glad this race is behind us," Norris admitted with a sigh, wincing as he adjusted himself on the bed. "It's just a shame about the outcome."
"It doesn't matter," Y/N said, resting her head on his shoulder. "The most important thing is that you're okay."
"Since I'm fine, you shouldn't waste time here," Lando said, looking at his friends. "This is our last night in Vegas; I'd go for a wild party if I were you."
"Oh c'mon, fuck Vegas," Oscar cut in, shaking his head.
"I can't wait to leave this place," Y/N admitted, taking out her phone "I'll order us some champagne, what do you think? We need to toast to this cursed city."
"I'm a hundred percent in," Oscar nodded.
"I hope no one will be mad at us for a little party here," Y/N said, dialing a number.
"It's an open party, the McLaren house is open to everyone," Oscar added.
And as they said, so they did. Shortly after, three bottles of champagne appeared in the hospital room and each of the trio could swear that the shared evening was better than any party.
At some point, Lando stopped thinking about the past race and the unfortunate crash. His thoughts departed from that incident; he didn't even feel the pain of his bruised body as he held a perfectly chilled bottle of champagne in his hand. He couldn't also contain his smile as his friends danced in the middle of the hospital room, singing a song in his honor. At that moment, Lando was genuinely happy and understood that to feel this way, all he needed was the company of these two, who would do anything for him.

don't you have the impression that something is going on in mclaren, oscar doesn't get an upgrade, his strategies are shitty, he's strangely sadder, tom isn't nice on the radio anymore.. but it would be funny if mark actually talked to marko and he blabbed too much and mclaren found out that way, that's why they're not so nice anymore (his strategies were always shitty but today it was a massacre, but bravo to oscar for driving 40 laps on medium). Ok, I'm done talking, soon I'll be wearing an aluminum cap, but do you also see a strange atmosphere in mclaren? there must be something going on there

What has been happening in the world of motorsports lately?
Williams has a new sponsor to become Atlassian Williams Racing
They also became the first team to launch their 2025 car officially (since then we also saw 2025 McLaren hiding in one-off testing camo livery and Haas during a private filming day at Silverstone yesterday)
Tina Hausmann is returning for her second season in F1 Academy with Aston Martin
Nina Gademan will be driving for Prema (after it was already announced she will be repping Alpine)
Allwyn scored a new partnership with F1 as a part of LVMH group and they also signed with McLaren the next day (fun fact the founder of the KKCG Group that Allwyn is part of is 3rd richest Czech guy so all hate is sent his way from my side <3 I hope he trips and dies with his 8 billion in his pocket)
Aston Martin became (as far as I am aware) the first F1 team with an official beauty brand partnership in Elemis
Kinda fits with Carlos Sainz shooting an ad for L’Oreal Paris
Mercedes fired up their 2025 engine
Eni partnered with Alpine (again) and there are rumours they could get a partnership with MSC Cruises too and maybe Valvoline
The Ferrari/UniCredit event in Milan will take place on 6th March
And F1 introduced the entertainment for tomorrow’s season launch at O2:
Host will be Jack Whitehall (comedian and actor I never heard about)
Feature by Kane Brown (also never heard about)
Bryan Tyler’s Are We Dreaming (the composer of the F1 theme song, I do know him)
Take That (british band)
Mgk (“award-winning multi-platinum recording artist”??? so I guess a musician?)
There are RUMOURS that Checo, Guanyu and Val are all on Cadillac’s list of potential drivers (besides Colton Herta)
Cupra Kiro took a similar route to Alpine and are now co-owned by an investor group including Idris Elba
Max also became the brand ambassador of AlphaTauri
After MBS said they could just cut off radio communication altogether if drivers don’t stop swearing, he also said they will have multiple race directors
FIA now announced they will have one race director (Rui Marques) but he will have a deputy race director in Claire Dubbelman (so where is the truth)
THEY MASSACRED MY BEAUTIFUL GIRL, Monaco will have a title sponsor for the first time ever in history, it will be Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco (wtf)
Congo wants to stop the talks of Rwanda with F1 due to a conflict in the area (F1 answered something along the lines… we are looking at it)
There are many more team kit / race suits / helmet drops for 2025
Franco has a good chance of driving for Alpine this season if anyone was still in doubt but Vowles say that he will then return to Williams
Third year in row now, rumours about Seb returning to F1 appear
F3 will be using 100% sustainable fuel already this year
Max broke a new F1 record and led the champioinship for 1000 days in row now (who was the last person to lead a championship before him you ask? Yeah. Charles. Smh. Ferrari give him the car or so I swear)
Szafnauer is apparently working on a project to bring 12th team to the grid (so this must be what Andretti was hinting at) – btw there are rumours F1 is very much interested in the team being a Chinese manufacturer
The new Hulu show Downforce with Daniel Ricciardo included will not be happening
Rafael Villagomez will stay with VAR in F2 for this year
and Victor Martins got confirmed for ART in F2 so F2 grid is complete
and Charles randomly dropped two new pieces when he woke up at 11am today: MC24 and SIN24
Now for pure gossip from my comms:
Gabriel Bortoleto made good choices under Fernando Alonso’s management and apparently has an exit clause from Sauber if there is a better offer for him and he also has “first buy” option from McLaren
A lot of people online were angry at Hungarian’s newspaper investigation into driver pays for this year (let me mention two interesting parts)
Yuki is criminally underrated with the same rumoured pay as Kimi Antonelli (despite being in his 5th year with the team), apparently it is due the Japanese personal sponsors not bringing as much money as the team would like from him
And Charles’ pay compared to Lewis’ (first of all lewis is 7 times wdc so idk if anyone expected them being paid the same??? But there are actually many other reasons like Ferrari sponsoring Charles’ junior career including a prestigious seat in Prema Racing in 2017 in F2 or Arthur running in FP1 in AD 2024 which reportedly took about a million out of Charles’ pay)
They have “multiple sources” saying Kimi Antonelli totalled 3 cars during his testing to be prepared for F1 which is the main reason Toto hired Val as a reserve driver, in fear of something like that happening in Kimi’s rookie season
Ferrari said no to Newey because he wanted a share in the team and with it also decision rights, on the other hand, Aston didn’t mind that – but now that Newey is a shareholder he apparently doesn’t agree with Lance staying in the team
Haas has Ollie for two years with + 1 option but Ferrari has first-buy rights on him

And by writing all of that,
We all know there’s a PR team behind their social accounts and every public management they have (yes even during twitch streams).
We all know the PR shows come out when an athlete begins to be more relevant. Like what happened with Carlos and Charles, they were massacred for their private life by the Italian and Spanish media. Now it’s happening to Lando, right after the Amsterdam incident/ first win in F1.
A lot of these gossip pages popped out like mushrooms after that, but they probably don’t know what media wrote about Lando during these years. The McLaren PR just took their time to come out, but it’s nothing different from Ferrari.
Bye
I laugh so hard when people (especially lil teenagers on gossip pages) take so serious anything Lando says.
Like some weeks ago, when Lando was on Max’s stream and said it’s good to not have tiktok on his phone and everyone believed it, pointing out all this PR.
But then here comes Carlos at the Gladiator premiere and BAAM! He declares Lando sent him that cosplay video of him. Glaring bad to the actual comedian for bringing Lando in the conversation like “we laughed about you even before you appeared”.
I’m so done with all this baseless gossips. Teenage girls that keep laughing at the Carlando fandom, denying anything these two athletes do together. I could bring a lot of examples but the most hilarious one is from Mexico GP. Where people kept saying they weren’t partying together AND that Lando left with a woman for sure cause they can’t even look at the video of him and Carlos leaving the club together.
Spoiler alert: by writing this I’m not supposing any kind of rs, I’m no one to talk about what these two do in their private life. BUT I’d like to point out some stupid opinions that people try to pass as real facts.
Like, there are video and proofs about them being together, why keep spreading opinions as if its a real fact? That’s exactly why both Lando and Carlos keep saying people create conspiracy theories.
While all of this lil girls pretend to know almost everything of Lando’s life, remember that Carlos will always stand up for him to shut yall up.
Thanks for reading my outburst and hope this finds all the gossip pages.

Maybe it’s just me, but Daniel genuinely looks so tired in his segment for ‘When We Were Young’. McLaren, what are you doing to this man. I’m about to launch an Interpol investigation into your workplace practices.

HAM ALO MSC
ok. ok ok. which msc tho. because this could go either way.
with msc the elder and mclaren era lewis and fernando? a massacre. if lewis and fernando are being funny, michael definitely would feel the urge to be hilarious. I imagine something along the lines of a very strained polite conversation on how to proceed and michael agreeing with either of them at random putting on sunscreen as rome burns around him. (they still get themselves together enough to make it in time because no one in there wants to lose) (even though michael 'premeditated crime' schumacher would probably find it funny but in the end the competitiveness wins out)
with mick and current fernando and lewis? everything works out without the slightest hitch. mick is so nice and polite that he could probably walk straight up to and pet a hungry lion and it would purr and roll on the ground. lewis and fernando both do their own thing and being very stiltedly polite while mick is doing all the legwork. they get out with a respectable time and mick is like ¡we make a great team! lets go! in an attempt to bridge the awkward silence which doesn't really succeed because they really dont have much to say to each other so they just super awkwardly shake hands and leave

Predictions for 2022 (before I know how the new cars are, I might change my opinions after first tests):
ALFA ROMEO: Guanyu/Valtteri - Guanyu is the only rookie and of course he is not expected to beat Valtteri. First year will be his learning year to see if he is good enough for F1. If the car is fairly good (middle field), he needs to not be at the very back though. ALPHA TAURI: Pierre/Yuki - Well, Pierre will be on top here, however, my personal bitchy self kinda want to see Yuki to at least match him if not even be better. (I just don't like Pierre, sorry) ALPINE: Fernando/Esteban - My personal wish is to see another Fernando win. Him and Esteban seem to be a great team and I think there are going to be fairly equal. Fernando is still having a lot of fun so good for him. ASTON MARTIN: Seb/Lance - I like Seb, I really do and he still has it, so I'm hoping the car will be good and he still can fight for podiums. If it won't happen, I think this will be his last season. FERRARI: Charles/Carlos - if Ferrari does a good car, I think this might be a massacre. Charles knows he is Ferrari golden boy (no shading or mocking) and if Carlos is better than him, it might turn bad. Carlos was damn good last season and he is a hard worker and if Ferrari has a TOP4 car, I can see (at least one) win coming for him. (Finally) HAAS: Nikita/Mick - I don't know if I expect Haas to get any better, so other than Mick being better than Nikita is hard to predict. Maybe some odd point or two for Mick would be really nice to see. I also hope someone gets into senses and kick Nikita out of F1. Sorry not sorry. MCLAREN: Daniel/Lando - I think Daniel needs to desperately prove himself this year. He has to beat Lando or at least needs to be close to him (regardless if the car is bad or good). I think if he has another bad year, it will be the time for him to go (from McLaren, not F1). If McLaren stays in TOP4, I can see Lando finally winning. MERCEDES: Lewis/George - Will Lewis fight for 8th? Well, depends how good car they will build, but if everyone is the same/similar as last year, I think Lewis would get 8th and retire after. I don't know if George will be a big threat or if they'll even let him be one. But of course, George will be another one might win a race this year. RED BULL: Max/Checo - Max will be definitely better than Checo. I don't know what to think of Checo sometimes though as I can see him being good at times, but then he'd just slip into less than average. We'll see, but in the teammate battle, it'll be Max for sure. WILLIAMS: Nicholas/Alex - Alex will be better. I have no doubt about it. I also predict Nicholas will leave F1 at the end of the season.

Mourners gathered on a beach in Auckland to pay tribute to victims killed in a terrorist attack on Friday in Christchurch, New Zealand. New Zealand’s government has agreed to reform the country’s gun laws in the wake of the massacre, which took place at two mosques and left at least 50 people dead. The country’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called the incident the “worst act of terrorism on our shores.” (📸: Cam McLaren) https://ift.tt/2Y7krhG
