People love drama, especially in Formula 1. So when someone started the rumour that Lando had a new partner, it spread like wildfire. Who was it? What were they like? A fellow driver, a member of the team even?
A photo popped up somewhere online. Chaos ensued.
Lando out partying with friends, yet his eyes were always looking at someone. Eyes filled with love, yearning, adoration. The person, always just out of frame. Metaphorically out of his reach, so to speak.
The Internet went insane, feeling as though they were being teased by whoever it was Lando seemed to yearn for. How could this person be so anonymous when they hung around a big celebrity like Lando? How did they manage to avoid paparazzi photos, stay out of frame or be too blurry to recognise.
Lando denied any of the speculations, if that did any good to calm the situation is debatable. He couldn't lie to himself though, in the end. He wanted You.

You two had been friends for years, going back to before he made it to Formula 1 when you'd cheer him on as he worked his way up the ladder.
And the internet was right about one thing. The looks he gave you were undeniable, downright insane. His eyes softened, pupils dilated and an unconscious smile snuck onto his face as he looked at you. He longed for you to love him like he loved you, like he had for so many years.
