Kimi
do I look like I fall first?
oh sorry, I didn’t want to send this in the drivers group chat
LANDO
Sure tell yurself that
Oscar
Where and why would you fall?
Charles
And why would you fall first?
Kimi
I saw this post on insta
https://www.instagram.com/j/dtp/bookstagram-knowhow-f1drivers-as-book-tropes/?hP466=/dhe5/
Carlos
First question: did you actively search for that?
Kimi
no
LANDO
Now I get the he falls first part
Oscar
I don’t necessarily think you´d be the type to fall first
But honestly, I don’t think I know you good enough to give you an adequate answer.
George Russell
Again, guys?
Really? I can’t even get a week of peace?
Kimi
sorry, George
Alex
Not sorry, George.
I got holiday romance.
LANDO
Is this a whole genre?
Alex
Looks like it
Carlos
Why would someone look at me and think fake dating is just the thing for this guy?
Kimi
You´re just really fake dateable?
Ollie
I honestly cant tell if you’re trying to cheer him up
Kimi
I tried my best
and I tried to cheer him up
LANDO
Grumpy x sunshine
Am I sunshin?
Max
Take a wild guess …
LANDO
Judging by your bitchy response I guess I’m sunshine
Max
100 points to lando norris
Carlos
Someone got out of the wrong side of the bed
LANDO
I hope it was cold and empty
George Russell
No fights before 12PM
LANDO
Im coming for you as soon as the clock hits 12
Max
Try me
Oscar
Okay, how about we don’t fight at all?
Alex
Good idea.
@Oscar What do you say about your book trope?
Oscar
highschool sweethearts makes sense
Charles
More like made sense
Oscar
You´re right
Liam
I´m in part one!
Carlos
Why are you so happy?
Liam
I´m never in part one of these posts
Best friends brother isn´t so bad either
a win on all levels
Isack
Omg
Liam
Yeeees
Isack
OMG
Liam
Yeeeees!!!
Oscar
What’s happening?
Carlos
Maybe they are talking in gen z?
Oscar
I am gen z and I don’t understand what’s going on
Isack
I made it in part one too!
we did it @Liam
feels better than any race win could
LANDO
I don’t want to pop your buble …
Isack
Yeah I know! Thank you very much.
let me be happy with my small town romance trope
Alex
All the tropes are weirdly fitting
Charles
You´re right
Carlos
I don’t think I’m so fake dating
Charles
I mean …
Carlos
What? I never fake date anyone?
Or do you think i´m fake? Without the dating?
???
LANDO
Back to me
Charles
Thanks for saving me @LANDO
LANDO
I mean I get the sunshine part somehow but do these people actualy pay attention to me and to what I say?
Oscar
I´m sure they meant it in a nice way
LANDO
They definitely did but is someone who´s all sunshine really embarased about crying after winning the wdc?
Liam
Why does it sound like you are your biggest hater?
LANDO
It´s not that bad
Oscar
You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself Lando.
You are perfect the way you are
George Russell
You really shouldn’t be so hard on yourself. You are a valuable person and a great driver.
Alex
We appreciate and love you
Kimi
You are important part of this group
Oscar
Everything okay @LANDO?
LANDO
Yes
Totally fine
Thanks for your concern
Lets change the subject. I need the grumpy part to my sunshine
Pierre
I know just the guy for the job
Charles
Me too
Pierre
@Max
Liam
expected someone else
Charles
Me too?
Max
Why am I involved?
Charles
Changed my mind. Max is the perfect grumpy part.
Kimi
I don’t think that would work
Alex
Two days in and they´d probably be at each other’s throats
Pierre
I have hope in these two
Carlos
I see this going two ways. Either they are the perfect couple or they kill each other
Max
Why are we starting to pair random people in this group?
Liam
We did a which f1 driver ship are you quiz last week. Is this really worse?
George Russell
Feels worse.
Alex
Come on @Liam you know why George and Max hate it so much
Liam
how could i forget your theories
LANDO
What theoris?
Alex
I tell you about it later
Oscar
Why are we getting left out?
Alex
Nothing to worry about. Its just a theory I have about a certain person whose been suspiciously silent since the start of our conversation
Oscar
Technically half of the people in this group chat haven’t texted yet, so ..
Alex
Yes but you know where I was getting at
Oscar
Sorry keep going
Alex
Thank you
So …
@George Russell Whats going on?
You got nothing more than your little not this shit again speech?
George Russell
What else do you want me to say?
I think I was vocal enough for a conversation about which book tropes f1 drivers are.
Alex
I don’t know.
Maybe address your book trope?
George Russell
Academic rivals to lovers.
What’s there to say?
Kimi
I think it fits you very well
LANDO
Yes, it fits you and your academiec rival
Max
You shouldn’t use words you can’t spell
Oscar
Come on, that’s unfair and you know that
Max
Nee, just stating facts
LANDO
Can you please get your man @George Russell?
Us ´19 rookies need to stick together
George Russell
Suddenly?
LANDO
Come on George!
I´m sorry
Make him apologise
Max
I am not going to apologize

Max
I´m sorry Lando
This has nothing to do with George btw
LANDO
Thank you George!!!
Max
This has nothing to do with George!
Charles
What about your trope Max?
Max
Don’t act like you didn’t see it
Charles
Humor me
Max
Enemies to lovers
Did someone expect something else?
Carlos
I´m not even that much into reading and I didn’t expect something else.
Max
There, that’s settled then
Alex
No one sees the connection between enemies to lovers and academic rivals to lovers?
Liam
you sound an awful lot like a conspiracy theorist right now
Alex
Nothing new
Charles
I see the connections
Oscar
At first generally seen negative feelings that turn into love
LANDO
Wer going there. I see
Alex
We are definitely going there
Max
Maybe we should just stop with this nonsense
Kimi
let us have our fun @Max
Ollie
let us have our fun @Max
Max
Damn children
LANDO
You cant deny that George and yourself got some serius enemies shit going on
Charles
He lashes out with unnecessary anger and borderline violence
Kimi
A classic
Oscar
Qatar GP 2024? I remember someone saying he lost all respect for someone else
Ollie
another classic
Pierre
That was so messy
Carlos
People call them divorced for a reason
Alex
Divorced, in love, married and with child
Kimi
am I the child?
Alex
Yes you are
George Russell
This is idiotic.
LANDO
Come on!!!
Give us a statement
George Russell
On how long it takes me this time to leave this group chat?
I can give you an answer to that.
*George Russell left the chat*
*Alex added George Russell to F1 drivers 2026*
George Russell
I will put you in the wall, Albon.
I mean it.
Charles
Don’t be boring, George
Kimi
We just want to know if there is some truth in the rumors. Am I a child of divorce?
George Russell
You are not my child, Kimi.
Kimi
I know but it’s fun
Oscar
Besides that´s not the important part of his question
George Russell
Why are we even seriously considering this?
You have to know how crazy you sound.
Alex
Not crazy
LANDO
We are just talking about some posibilities
George Russell
Like you and Oscar?
LANDO
Not taking the bait
Tell us something @George Russell
Ollie
Are you even on speaking terms with Max? Would you consider him your friend?
Kimi
we saw what he called him last week so they have to at least be friends
Oscar
Nobody besides us saw the message I think
Max
Could you stop?
You are wasting all our time here
Pierre
Not wasting time
Liam
Investigating
Max
That’s childish
You should be training or doing anything else than that
Alex
You´re no fun
LANDO
We are just asking a few silly questions. Don’t behave like we are pushing him to strip on live tv
Charles
I know someone who´d like to see that
George Russell
God! Could you all shut up!
LANDO
Come ooooon
Lewis H
I don’t think you should pressure/bully George into answering your questions.
George Russell
Thank you, Lewis!
At least one person in this group chat is on my side
Max
Hey!
Lewis H
Even though I have to say that I’m intrigued.
LANDO
Fuck yeeeees
Alex
We pulled lewis to the dark side
Kimi
🙏
George Russell
I take everything back.
Traitors, all of you
Max
Why are you so interested in our love life?
Hulk
I´m not. I feel like I need to state that before Max or George act on their threats
Gabi
I am and we are a team so go for both of us
Charles
You cant deny the tension
Oscar
We just don’t know what this tension is
LANDO
Are you in your enemies or your lovers era?
Max
They are really annoying
Liam
I´m sorry?
Ollie
Who is this directed at?
George Russell
We are not doing this!
Kimi
Are they having a conversation in our conversation?
Max
They will be even more annoying
George Russell
See.
Alex
Okay what’s happening?
Carlos
Talk to us please
Lewis H
Are they actually right @George Russell?
George Russell
Come one, Lewis. You are putting me in a bit of a position here.
You know I always try to be honest with you
Lewis H
I don’t want to pressure you, George.
You don’t have to tell us anything
LANDO
Come on!
Kimi
Come on!
Max
Fuck it
I don’t care anymore
They annoy me
That okay?
George Russell
Go for it.
Alex
Oh my god
Its happening
Max
Another message and you´re getting nothing
Alex
Sorry
Max
We are in a relationship
LANDO
Wow congrats
Isack
OMG
Kimi
OMG
Franco
Wtf?
Alex
Happy for you
Charles
Surprising and at the same time not surprising at all
Congrats
Oscar
Congratulations!
Max
We have been together since last year
George Russell
You just had to add that
Max
Ik hou van jou, schatje
LANDO
Omg they´re flirting in the group chat
Kimi

George Russell
No further comments on this topic
Alex
We want the story of how you became lovers
Max
No
Charles
Not even a few details?
Max
No
Lewis H
I am very happy for the two of you. Thank you for sharing this information with us
George Russell
Now please all of you shut up.
