Summary
It’s the profound tragedy of Lando’s life, he thinks, to realise he’s in love with his teammate – just as Oscar Piastri makes a habit of standing one step higher on the podium, forcing Lando to crane his neck to look at him.
Oscar hates watching the light fade from Lando’s eyes with every victory he takes from him. He accepted the inconvenient truth long ago: he loves Lando. But he loves winning more.

Summary
Lando is bleeding when Oscar comes in, and that really sums up their entire season.
"We are a team, and if you are not satisfied, that is our job to resolve it. If you no longer get along, it is your job to let us know so that we can deal with it, within the team. There is no winning without McLaren, no matter how good you are. Is that understood?"
"Yes," Lando forces his voice to stay soft, to not grit his words. A fucking joke, asking him to play nice when they're all strung so tight with the season they're about to snap. The way they all pretend not to care about the gap, only that the team wins the WCC. "Thank you, Andrea."
"Thank you, Lando," Andrea says, standing up and shaking his hand. "Good luck next week, we will see you in the factory."
Or: Lando Norris, wanting, and the things he can't have.

Summary
He didn’t think through what he was gonna do once he turned Lando on, he should have read the entire instruction manual. “I wasn’t told much about what you can do, could you please give me a summary of your capabilities?”
He doesn’t know why he’s trying to be so cordial, he knows that he can command the robot to do whatever he wants, but it feels too much like hanging out alone with an acquaintance after only seeing them in group settings.
“I can do whatever you want me to do. Cook your meals, clean the apartment, help you train, analyze data, you name it. The more time you spend with me, the more familiar I will be. Although, I was uploaded with a decent amount of information about you.”
OR
McLaren gifts Oscar a robot for winning the WDC and he lets it ruin his life.

Summary
It’s under-exposed and grainy, clearly caught with frantic hands before either of them had the chance to notice the phone camera pointed at them. Just barely discernible in the low light, Oscar is leaning against the wall outside some nondescript building in Monaco with his head thrown back, laughing in that stupid, exaggerated way he always seems to when Lando Norris is involved. Lando’s not fully facing the camera, but his hair and side profile give him away. He’s pressing a kiss to the corner of Oscar’s mouth, one hand tangled in the hair at the back of his neck while the other rests on his waist. It is, unfortunately, the kind of photo a person could stare at forever. Tangible evidence of a life well-lived and well-loved.
OR: Oscar and Lando get outed, and the world keeps turning.
