lando had been struggling with the car for a while, well he just felt like he was underperforming. this contributed to his worsening mental health and his negative thoughts started flooding back to him.

you had been with lando since end of 2022, you had stuck with him through thick and thin. this was your 3rd season supporting him. there was a triple header, which you originally weren’t playing to attend any races but after suzuka lando messaged you asking you to come to bahrain and jeddah.

bahrain was sticky but jeddah.. lando crashed out in q3. luckily he was fine and fit to race but mentally he wasn’t in the right place. your heart ached for him.

you two were currently sat in the back of the car as you were driven to the hotel you were staying at. you had your arm around landos shoulder as he laid his head on you, he was struggling and you knew it.
