The qualifying for the Belgium Grand Prix
Lando was far ahead from the rest of the grid, speeding through the rain, finishing pole position in Q1 and Q2.
But his luck turned on him during Q3, he was driving through Eau Rouge which then suddenly the car aquaplaned and spun into the barrier, from one to another, his right arm between the side of the steering wheel and the wall of the cockpit, the car leading him into Raidillon with his car spinning around n’ around constantly, to quick to count.
His head bounced side to side so quickly, he couldn’t see anything around him that clearly, his vision so unfocused and blurry, the only thing he could feel was the pain from his right hand up to his forearm and both of his legs.
The car slowly slowed now, leaving him stuck in the middle of the track, unable to move for the other 9 remaining cars to get passed. Lando couldn’t hear anyone or anything around him, all he could hear was a high pitched ringing and the sound of his constant beating heart.
One person watched the screen from the ferrari pits, his face as white as a wiped clean whiteboard. The sight of his best friend crashing at such high speed terrified him. He just stood there, praying he’ll be okay…
Nobody knew how he was, there was no response on the radio to his race engineer and there was no movement from him, he was currently unconscious, head leaning to the right, body limp.
Soon enough, his car lit up on fire, this was caused by petrol sitting in the non-turned-off car, leaving it to heat for too long so it burst into flames,making the rest of the car do the same.
Marshalls soon arrived, they tried to get Lando unbuckled and pull him out of the race car, but the belt got jammed and was unable to undo. This scared the marshalls, one kept trying, another went to find something to rip it undone while the rest were spraying the flames out.
Soon enough, the fire was out and all was left was smoke, and so was the marshall that ran off, they came back with a sharp pair of scissors, handing it to the one that had gave up pulling on the belt a few moments before, the marshall quickly snatched it out of the others hand and quickly cut it in half with no struggles.
A couple more marshalls, which were putting out the fire, quickly dropped the fire extinguishers and came over to help drag Lando out the car, the more they were, the more safe he’ll be other than just being carried by 1-3 of them, which would prevent more injuries for Lando to suffer with.
After some struggles, they all managed to get him out and get him laid down on the grass, which was a bit damp but not too soggy.
(don’t come at me for the change of weather, lets just say the sun came out after the crash started! Okay?)
Once he was on the grass and the ambulance was called, one of the marshalls carefully took off his helmet, balaclava and thin white breathing mask to be met with his face covered in smoke stanes and slight burns around the eyes, where his visor was opened which led the heat onto his tanned skin.
They now had the race cancelled due to the risk of another crash like this and they also had all cameras off the scene because they knew that this was now among the serious types of crashes.
Soon enough, the ambulance arrived, no one knew what could happen to Lando, none of the commentators, other drivers, marshalls, his own team and even the ambulance crew…
*A couple of hours later*
Carlos has been pacing back n’ forth the past hour, waiting for any news on Landos condition. He was currently in surgery right now, getting metal pins put into his right legs and left arm. He still had a broken left arm and right leg, and his left ankle was fractured.
Lando has no other serious injuries except some bandages wrapped around his top half of his face, to hopefully help the current average-degree burns heal up quickly, as there has been cream applied on top of them.
Carlos was mid thought, when a nurse approached him.
(N-Nurse and C-Carlos)
N - “Hello sir! Are you here for Mr Lando Norris?”
C - “Oh, yes! I am! How is he?”
N - “ He is doing good at the moment, he has just come out of surgery, about 10-15 minutes ago! The thing is, because of the damage to his legs, it could take up to 2-6 months for them to fully recover so he has to unfortunately take a break from driving right now, but once we give him the all clear about his legs and arm, he should be more than able to continue racing!”
Carlos takes a sigh of relief that he’s doing alright.
C - “Oh thank god, he’s okay! Don’t worry, I'll let him know about racing for the past couple months, he’ll understand! Do you know when he will be awake?”
N - “He should be awake right now, you can go see him, he’s in Room 455! I could lead you the way if you would like?”
C - “Oh, yes please! That would be great!”
Carlos smiled at the nurse gracefully, while they returned it back almost immediately.
The nurse soon started to walk away towards Lando’s current hospital room, Carlos following not far behind.
Once they arrived at Lando’s room, Carlos took a deep breath before twisting the handle gently and entering, closing the door behind him, due to privacy between them.
(Again, L - Lando and C - Carlos)
L - “C-carlos? Is that you?”
C - “Yes Lan, it’s me! How are you feeling?”
L - “Eh, i’m alright, wish i could feel better y’know but that’s just the way things go…”
C - “Mhm, do you want a hug?”
Lando nods eagerly, really in the need for one. Carlos quickly walked over to the right side of the bed, slowly sat down next to him and carefully wrapped his arms around Landos waist, sliding his left hand up to the back of his head, gently playing with Landos brunette curly hair.
A moment later, the quiet room was then filled with Lando’s sobs and gasps for air. Lando then stuttered out cautiously.
L - W-what's goi-ing to h-appe-n w-ith me r-racin-g?”
Carlos then went on to explain what the nurse told him, like how long his recovery is going to take, that the hospital will let him know when to continue, and his injuries. Lando nodded once and again, not trusting himself to say any words with how he’s feeling at the moment.
L - “A-alrigh-ht, that-s fi-ine!”
Then from that moment on, Carlos was there all through Landos recovery, which did take about 5 ½ months but Lando was so grateful that Carlos was there all through that time. Even, half way through that period of time, Carlos confessed to him, asking him to be his boyfriend, when they were watching a movie, a romantic one to be precise, which Lando replied almost immediately with a “yes, of course i will be your boyfriend, i’m so glad you finally asked, i was way too scared to ask!”
They knew from that day and on, they will always and forever be together, by each other's sides, through the good, the bad, in sickness, and during arguments~!
