Russell's Cousin- Lando Norris story

Come on Georgie!

After hearing the news that Lewis was out and George was in the atmosphere in the team was ecstatic so finally be able to see George have a shot at showing his capabilities.

Williams was a great team but McLaren was a step up and you weren't the one driving so god knows what it will be like for George to step into the Mercedes car. Lando has his conspiracy that Lewis's car was genuinely just a better car and that his driving was still very good but people could be better if they had the exact same car.

"Anna, have you seen lando today?" Carlos asked as he poked his head around the door
"Well I woke up next to him this morning and-"
"No no no! Stop there I don't need to hear more" Carlos said coving his ears making you laugh
"Well after breakfast he went to the gym with Charles and then he was going to the track before practice. I said I'd meet him half an hour before for a rub down and everything"
"muppet, I said I'd go to the gym with him. Mia you can come with me to the track in twenty minutes if you want?" Carlos asked. Arranging lifts from the hotel to the track was always difficult so when someone was going you would try and get as many people over in the same van.
"Yeah I can meet you downstairs in twenty minutes do you want me to bring the spikey ball for your back?" You asked holding it up as Carlos would religiously use it on his shoulder
"Ooo yeah, don't let lando keep it"
"I won't, I'll meet you downstairs let me just grab my bags"

In the van over to the track there was you, Carlos, Will Stevens who is a test driver and Carlos' girlfriend Isabel who was able to make it for the race this weekend

The Sakhir race was luckily an evening race so you had planned for you and George to go for breakfast to catch up, there wasn't a free moment this season to sit down with each other and just switch off from the racing world. George was so nervous about the whole weekend that it would be a good time for you to be able to sit down and just talk with him.

(Lil time skip past practice and qualifying)

As you walked up to the rooftop restaurant at the hotel George was sat scrolling through his phone and wearing his Mercedes uniform.
"Morning to my favourite cousin" you said tapping his shoulder
"I am shitting it." Was all George said before you both burst out laughing over the whole event.
"You will win. I'm sure. I mean obviously I want lando to kick your ass but your going to win, you have to!"
"I hope I do, I just don't want to disappoint Toto"
"You can't, your his future when Lewis leaves. The team have got your back and so has everyone else. How even did you get into Mercedes like you never told us the original story?" You asked
"I sent Toto my CV" George simple said as he sipped his coffee
"I'm sorry aha, what?" You couldn't believe what you was hearing.
"I sent my CV to Toto and basically said I'm the best driver"
"You have got to be kidding me, you sent the Toto Wolff your CV you probably made in year 11? What the heck?! That's such a you thing to do" you laughed

You got George to do a lot of talking about other things to try and occupy his mind for the hour before you met lando back at the room to get the 12pm shuttle bus with Carlos and Isabel to the track to start warm up.

"Landooooo" you called as you walked back in the room to find him sat in bed watching TV with a bowl of fruit he was told to eat
"Annaaaaa" he replied in the same tone and a smile spread across his face.
"How is the fruit?" You asked putting your handbag on the chair before joining lando
"It's ok, do you want the strawberry?"
"No im fine, you need your fibres more than me" you joked as you snuggled your head down into his arm
"I'm sorry this weekend isn't as jam packed as the last" lando said looking down at you as you rested your head ok him
"Last week was my birthday and I'm very happy so don't worry, I've enjoyed this weekend so far and I can't wait for the race today and to see George."
"Me too, I just don't want you to think it's boring"
"Lando, when I'm with you it's never boring. You make me laugh and smile so much. As soon as I wake up and see your face I smile"
"Even in the morning? I look a mess then ahah. Do you remember our first date?" He asked
"Of course, I swear I got a six pack from laughing so much on that walk. It was so cold and it felt so strange to be seen together don't you think"
"I removed every word we spoke and the exact way you would smile, laugh, look down and blush a bit before looking up again."
"Stop your going to make me blush again" you said hiding your face on his chest as you turned to face him more.
"Well I also remember a certain conversation and we said how every good date ends in.." he said looking for you to finish the sentence
"Two shots of tequila and a dick in someone's mouth?" You laughed
"How about we make one of those dates? I mean the bar will be open by time we get back still?" He said looking at you with that damn cheeky smirk like usual
"I'll make you a deal"
"Yes!"
"It has conditions so don't get too excited, you either overtake George, have a podium finish or pull the fastest lap" you said sitting up
"Fine. Bet" lando smirked
"On that note, we better head down for the shuttle bus which will be here in five minutes" you said ruffling his hair before getting up to get your bag together.
