you were lando’s girlfriend. you had been for over a year. but shit was fucked up.

he loved you and you knew you were the only girl. but you also weren’t. you kept your relationship private because you wanted a private lifestyle and not the media pressure. so, yes, fans speculated but it was never much as you were said to be a “friend”.

but, he was in a PR stunt with a girl named magui. they were seen as a “couple” to gain attention and views for their brands. it didn’t make sense to you but you let it be as long as they never ever actually acted like a proper couple — only little interactions to start rumours which lando hated doing.

it was the spanish grand prix. you came as his parents, adam and cisca, were coming as well as his older brother oliver and his wife sav. but you didn’t realise magui was too.

you were stood in the garage with a headset on alongside cisca and adam as the race went on, listening to lando’s radio. you were holding his mum’s hand tight.

you had seen magui in the garage earlier and you were annoyed but then it happened. she appeared on the screen, acting “interested” but worse of all: with the label “lando norris’ partner”.

you gasped, immediately looking at cisca who looked annoyed at this too — she knew everything that happened with lando’s PR contract. she rubbed your back comfortingly while adam gives you a sympathetic smile.

everything went on as usual but now it was 2 hours after the race had finished so it was pretty empty. you were outside the motorhome, in the quiet paddock, with lando. you were hurt like hell. he was now in some black joggers and a dark blue shirt while you were in your white dress with a black jacket on.
