Even though you and Lando Norris race side by side in McLaren, you know that your bond doesn’t just stop on the track. You have an interview scheduled for 7:00 PM and you’ve taken care of the work that needs to be done until then, and you’ve had a few pleasant conversations with Lando. As the hour approaches, you walk towards the interview area together. The interview starts with the usual questions; about the team, strategies and upcoming races. Everything goes pretty ordinary, until an unexpected question comes up:
“Are you just friends?”
You paused at that moment, but without compromising your professionalism, you answered with a determined tone: “Yes, we are just friends. Anything more would not be right for us or McLaren.”
Lando turned to the size with a slight surprise in his eyes when he heard your answer. He leaned towards you slowly, almost touching your ear, and whispered:
“Lying doesn’t suit you, my beauty.”
The sarcastic tone in his voice revealed the truth behind the words spoken.
