Since Lando was young, he had always dreamed of being a McLaren Formula One driver. Wearing the papaya was all that filled his head. Being able to stand on that top step proudly wearing the orange shade would be a dream come true.

However it seemed hard to imagine when he finally met his dreams front on. In 2017 he was able to join the McLaren young drivers programme whilst still racing in the FIA Formula Three European Championship with the hopes of being able to make the cut for the Formula One team.

Racing with Carling Motorsports seemed like a breeze to the young British driver at the time this took place. Managing to claim the championship with still two races to spare.

The future looking bright for him as he finally was living his dream of being a part of McLaren Formula One Team in for 2019. He was constantly nicknamed "A champion in the making" or "The newest young talent of Formula One". Yet this made the young man confident in his abilities but it also seemed to but a large weight on his shoulders.

It took multiple years of effort and dedication into the McLaren team for the Brit to finally start proving to the world that he was made for this. That he was infact a champion in the make as everyone had said back 5 years ago.

Things turned around in 2023 despite the poor start to the year. The car being low field worthy and the confidence draining from the young man. But a few races before the awaited Summer time off an upgrade was brought to the two McLaren cars. Proving that this was the right team for the British-Belgian driver after all. These upgrades adding seven podium places onto six that he had accumulated over the few years.

But during this time during 2023, he had a new teammate in Oscar Piastri.  A young talent like himself, who decided moving from Alpine's reserve driver, who was promised a seat when one of the two seats became available, to McLaren was better for the Australian driver. This new driver was going to push Lando in many ways.. maybe a few mays that didn't relate to driving.

By the beginning of 2024, it became apparent to Lando that he did infact have some romantic feelings towards his teammate. It took awhile to come to terms with this but in the end he did finally wrap his head around it.

On a night out where Lando was celebrating his first win in Miami, which was very much deserved after a long 5 years of waiting, he obviously was ecstatic. His emotions being fuelled by the copious amounts of alcohol in the celebrations. This is where an unexpected chapter of his life began.

With the alcohol burning throughout his body, he grew to confidence to finally tell Oscar his true feeling and if it wasn't reciprocated he could easily play it off without suffering the embarrassment he would naturally if he was sober.

Lando staggered towards the Aussie, who sat patiently at the bar, not particularly wanting to participate in the large crowd of people. They were shouting, singing, dancing or anything else that could be blamed on the consumption of alcohol.

"Oscar!" The drunken brit shouted towards the boy sat staring at him. Holding his cards close to his chest, not letting anything slip out before he completely prepared himself for the news he wanted to share.

"Hey Lando" Oscar said with a soft smile, clearly not even near the same level of intoxication as the Brit stood infront of him but still tipsy himself. Though he never let that create any awkwardness between the two.
