Russell's Cousin- Lando Norris story

Don't get jealous

Pre note: This chapter contains conversations about Michael Schumacher, obviously no one knows the full condition Michael is in but we can only hope he is able to recognise how well mick is doing and I pray he knows how highly Mick views his dad as his inspiration and rock. I grew up watching Michael race and he has impacted my life so much and still does, please be mindful of you leave any comments ♥️

After the Portuguese race last weekend it was a double header and off to Spain for the Spanish Grand Prix. You had got the same flight as Daniel so it gave those two some 'bonding' time so no one killed eachother.

"What do you think of my new glasses" you said looking in the bathroom mirror as lando was stood brushing his teeth
"Good, nice" he mumbled through all the toothpaste making you both laugh
"I think they are very stylish" you mocked
"They better be for £160. Bloody ray bans" lando murmured
"Says you, mr I have Dior sunglasses" you quickly replied as you tied your hair back

Once you hade both got ready it was time to head to the track for the briefings before free practice tomorrow. Lando had a few meetings in the morning, track walk in the afternoon and then some press later on for McLaren unboxed and the sponsors.

Mick 🏎

You: hey, I'm at the track today, you fancy going for a walk? To catch up and bits?
Mick: morning, yes that would be lovely
You: great, I'll meet you at Haas at 10:30?
Mick: see you then :)

"Is that George? If so tell him I'll meet him at one" lando said as he tied his laces
"Urm it was mick actually"
"Schumacher?"
"Yes, we are going to go for a track walk and catch up this morning while your in meetings if that's alright?"
"Yeah sure, you don't need to ask me" he smiled as you grabbed your bags together.
"Great, it feels like ages since I've been able to have a proper conversation with him so it will be nice. And the weather is pretty lovely too"
"Yeah enjoy it while I'm sat inside"
"We can go to the beach later?" You offered
"No way, I'd rather sit out around here. Can't stand the sand getting everywhere on a race weekend" lando said shivering.

It was a basic drive to the track which was nice as lando had a car for the weekend so it avoided the team busses. It was 9:48am when you arrived and the smell of breakfast from the team cafes filled the paddock.

As you enters through McLaren and made your way up the stairs to landos driver room Charlotte was sat in the meeting lounge with coffee for you and a smoothie for lando.
"Your a life saver" you said as you garbed your drink
"I know you too well Anna, thought you needed a pick me up" Charlotte laughed
"Lando, we have five minutes till a meeting if that's alright?" She asked
"Yeah sure, Anna is going to go for a walk so I'll catch up with you later" lando said as he kissed your forehead before taking his bags through to the other room.

You made your way back out to the paddock to walk down to Haas to meet mick when all of a sudden you heard loud footsteps behind you before being engulfed by two arms
"Jesus Mary Joseph!" You shouted as you turned to see the blue eyed boy laughing
"Sorry, too tempting. I was just walking back from the FIA offices" mick laughed as you started to walk again
"Ooo is someone in trouble?" You laughed nudging his arm
"No, a family friend was just checking in on me" he smiled as he looked down at his feet "um.. so you ready for the weekend?"
"Of course, love how you ask em as though I'm the one driving" you laughed
"Well no but.. I was being polite ok. I haven't seen Nikita yet today so we will see how that goes for us this weekend" mick said in his gentle voice as you raised an eyebrow knowing the team were struggling to comprehend mazepins results the last few races.
"Yeah... I was taking to Charles the other day and he wasn't impressed either." You whispered
"It's not good but it's early days" he said optimistically
