It's not true

#3

"Hello Lando." says the interviewer. "Hi." Lando says as he puts on a smile.

"It must have been an intense few days, weren't they? With the photos that came out while you are in a relationship with Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen." "It was indeed a difficult few days. Especially since we know that the photos are not real." "But you were out that night?" "Yes, we were out. But we both hardly drank anything. We were standing close to each other because we were standing by the speakers. I had just finished DJing." "So nothing happened?" "Nothing happened." "And how are you, Charles and Max?" "We have made our relationship public, but that doesn't mean we have to say everything here. No one would do that just because we are famous. We don't have to." "That doesn't answer my question." "I have given my answer. Besides, we are here to race." “Thank you Lando.”

Lando frowns and then walks away.

"They don't even want to talk about the racing." he whispers to Daisy, his media person for the weekend. "I hope the others are different Lan."

But most were the same and some still asked to continue for the weekend, but they stopped the subject themselves.

During an interview, he suddenly feels a hand on his side and it slides down his back. His head snaps to the side where he sees Max and he quickly looks to the other side to see Max walking away. A smile comes to Lando's face.

He still did what he would always do even though they were fighting. And the crazy thing is that Lando was able to relax now.

Maybe they want to talk to him this weekend.

When Lando was done in the media pen he had to walk past Max and he did the exact same thing to Max before walking out of the media pen. He walks back to McLaren where he has to stand in front of the press together with Oscar.

"Then we go to the questions from the audience. Ben from Sky Sports."
"Hi, this is a question for Charles. Since this weekend we have been seeing your name and those of Lando, Max and Oscar mainly in the news and not because of the racing. What is your opinion about the photo and how are things going between you now, Max and Lando?”

"It's been a tough few days, but nothing our relationship can't handle. Oscar and Lando both say this never happened and we have to trust that." "Are we going to see you two together this weekend?" "We are almost always apart on the weekends, this week will be no different. All three of us work for different teams and we don't finish at the same time. So I have no idea if you will see us together."

"Okay, thank you. Question from Sara from AD" "Thank you. A question for the other boys, what is your opinion of the photo and how do you view the fact that Lando is actually cheating?" Sara asks Alex, Pierre, Kevin and George.

"Wait, stop. They have nothing to do with this at all. Yes, they will probably have an opinion, just like everyone else here. They don't know the inside of everything, just like you do, so to ask them this question is unfair." Charles says immediately and then he looks at the boys and then back at the journalist.

"You now have my answer to the question and I don't want to have any more questions about it, not all this weekend. We are here to race and not to talk about my relationship. So if there is one more question about it this I will walk away, because that's not why I'm here." says Charles.

"Thank you Charles. Then we'll move on to a question from back there."

Charles looks at the ground and then back at the audience. Someone's name was said but he didn't focus on it. The question was for Pierre and he looks at his microphone. A hand on his leg makes him look up and he looks at George. "Well said." he whispers and Charles smiles weakly.
