One Shots - Formula 1 [REQUESTS CLOSED]

No sense of humour - Alessio Lorandi

This is for ilinca66, also staring Lando Norris and George Russell :)

---

Yet another weekend abroad. At 21 years old, you were living the life you dreamt of since you were a kid. You were one of WTF1 journalist, a humoristic news website about Formula 1 and other motorsport series. It's Matt, the star animator, who helped you get in the team after he saw what you were doing on social media.

You couldn't believe it was already the end of the season here in Abu Dhabi. Your first season as a WTF1 journalist. Your first season following the Formula 1 teams all around the world.

That job was everything you ever wanted. You mostly did interviews of drivers, team managers, fans or anyone else that has to do with the racing world. You also took care of the Instagram account of the team. Basically, you were paid for watching races, talking to people and posting pictures. Not bad, huh?

This job also came with an unexpected bonus. As you were also following Formula 2 and GP3, you fell deeply in love with the Trident driver Alessio Lorandi and you have been dating for 6 months.

The sun was setting in Abu Dhabi's sky. It was the end of the first testing day. You crossed the paddock to meet with Lando Norris and George Russel, two British drivers who were battling for the Formula 2 title and who were being promoted to F1 the next season. It was settled that you would do an interview with the two of them at the same time, just to ask funny questions.

They were already ready, as well as your cameraman. They were both sitting of chairs, back to back, with a small sign that was covered by their faces, one on each side. You greeted them – you had met them several times before – and explained them the interview. Basically, you would ask a question on "Who is..." or "Who does..." and they need to raise the sign showing the face of the right person. Easy, right?

"Ready, guys?"

"Born ready!"

The camera was turned on and you started asking the questions.

"Who's the laziest?"

"Lando, obviously!" George exclaimed and raised his sign. Lando scowled but agreed nonetheless. "Remember that time we shared a room in karting? I had to drag you out of the bed, literally!"

"I'm a heavy sleeper, that's all." Lando shrugged.

"Alright, next question. Who's the funniest?"

"That's definitely me!" Lando exclaimed. "George is way too serious. I make jokes. All the time."

"Who has the best haircut?"

Both raised their signs showing their own face. Obviously! You had a laugh while they both tried to justify themselves and to convince you they had the best haircut. In the end, you called this a tie because none of them was ready to admit their defeat.

"Who's the best at flirting?"

Same here, they both raised their signs to show their own face.

"Maybe we can try our skills on you and then you make the call." Lando was smirking like a teenager.

You giggled when you saw George wiggling his eyebrows at you. They were both so full of themselves. Those guys grew up faster than most young boys do, they left their parents' home very early, they were already earning a lot of money, and soon they would be amongst the 20 best motorsport drivers at the moment. That's quite easy to be arrogant and narcissist, isn't it?

Hopefully, you knew them both well enough to know they were clearly joking. They said that because they knew you, and they knew WTF1 was a humoristic media so this kind of video would actually be perfect for it, where you see drivers having fun together and not taking themselves seriously.

"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

"Is your name 'beautiful'? Cause it seems like it was made for you."

They went on, exaggerating their tone of voice and their movements just to make it all funny. You couldn't stay serious and you had a hard time stopping yourself from laughing too hard.

You were surprised to see someone walk in before you suddenly, not even caring you were filming an interview. It all made sense when you recognized your boyfriend, Alessio. He sent a black stare at the two British drivers and he leaned in to you. He took a hold of your hips to pull you closer to him and kissed you. Not just a peck or a small kiss, no. It was a full make-out session. Something was definitely up, he would not usually act that way.

Alessio pecked your lips a couple of times before stepping away from you, leaving you breathless.

"See you back in my room, babe."

With one last pointed look towards his opponents, he left you to continue his walk through the paddock.

"Who's the most jealous?" George asked Lando, imitating your tone of voice, as if he was continuing the interview.

"Alessiooooo!"
