   Summary

   “We have a new PR strategy for this year to aid with keeping you both in the headlines for longer,” Louise, the CMO, continues. “We want to lean into the wave you’ve both created already."

   "We want you to both be in a PR relationship," Zak finalises.

   Lando immediately spills a quarter of the water carafe onto Oscar’s lap out of pure shock. Lando gasps out a few squeaky sorry’s while Oscar stands up in a fright.

   “You mean with… models, or s-something?” Oscar stutters out, looking down to his pants which absolutely looks like he’s just pissed himself. 

   “No, that’d be a very easy strategy. We’ve used that one for years,” Louise laughs. Neither of the drivers are laughing with her. "You two, together."

   or the fic where Lando Norris + Oscar Piastri's bro day out prior to the 2025 F1 Season sparks up a funky dating rumour. But the McLaren PR team uses this to their advantage to accelerate both boys' careers.
