LANDO NORRIS
4

I'm back in Monaco for the week, Max is staying at my house before the grand prix. I'm streaming while Max reads out questions people ask me in the chat.

"This one's funny." He laughs while I avoid something trying to kill me in the game, "What is Lando Norris' favorite food?" 

I roll my eyes, "Pizza."

"It's cheese Pizza because he's a baby!" Max looks into the camera before continuing, "How do you want this weekends going to go?"

"Uh- good?" I laugh a bit, people ask me this all the time and it kind of confuses me because why would I not want to do well?

"What's your favorite color?"

"Orange."

"Tell the truth." He pushes.

"Blue."

"Who's your best friend on the grid?" I think for a second.

"Max, Carlos, and Oscar." I pass another level.

"What's the craziest conspiracy people have about you?" I laugh at this.

"Hm... I saw someone say I can't tie my shoes."

Max laughs, "That one's definitely true." He keeps reading, "Someone said... the craziest isn't you and Caroline?"

I bite the inside of my cheek, "No comment."

"It's like you're not media trained!" Paul is chasing me down as I walk to the press conference, "Lando, you have to watch what you say!"

I groan, "It's fine, you said us together is better press!"

"I meant a healthy rivalry! Not you insinuating you're dating!" I shake my head and make it to the conference door.

"We're both in this conference, people will know we're not after seeing us together!" I shake my head and walk inside. Taking a seat.

We get started five minutes later. The couch lineup from left to right goes like this... Caroline, Daniel, Yuki, Lewis, Charles, and me.

The interviewer starts with simple questions all around, the track limits, turns, and overtakes.

"Charles..." he says, "Home hero! How are you trying to improve and make sure you stay on top of this race?"

He answers but i'm off in my own world, honestly these things bore me. I have a short attention span some of the idiot questions make me want to hurt someone.

My eyes wander to Caroline, she has her hair down with her Red bull merch which is something I don't see often. She always has her hair braided or in a ponytail, I never really noticed until now.

The interviewer asks her about how attainable pole is looking for her before laughing and letting everyone know he's joking because she obviously will place on pole.

I get asked a few questions, answering simply and quickly.

"Alright... let's move onto some journalists questions." He looks to the crowd of people and picks on a one.

"Le mans?" the interviewer asks.

"Le mans?" Yuki replies.

"Le mans." he says again, obviously confused.

"Sorry I wasn't listening to the question..." Yuki admits, I laugh under my breath.

"A question for Caroline." She looks at the male interviewer.
