The last few weeks had been a whirlwind for him—traveling, simulator sessions, team meetings, and media obligations. As much as he loved being in the thick of the Formula 1 season, the relentless pace had kept him away from you longer than he'd liked. Texts and video calls helped bridge the distance, but it wasn’t the same as having you there with him.
As the British Grand Prix approached, Lando threw himself into preparations. The Silverstone circuit had always held a special place in his heart. Racing on home soil, in front of a crowd filled with familiar faces and roaring fans, gave him a sense of pride and pressure that was unlike any other race. But this year, a different kind of longing tugged at him—a desire to share this moment with you, to have you by his side as he raced on the track where his dreams had first taken flight.
You knew how much this race meant to him. You also knew that your absence had been tough for both of you, and that’s why you decided to surprise him. The plan was simple but perfect. You had managed to keep your travel plans a secret, even when Lando mentioned how much he wished you could be there. The thought of seeing the look on his face when he finally saw you was enough to make the long journey worth it.
On the morning of the race weekend, Lando was going through his usual routine. His focus was sharp, but underneath, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing.
As he walked through the paddock, Lando spotted a familiar figure near the McLaren garage. His heart skipped a beat. he thought he might be seeing things. But then you turned, locking eyes with him, and the world seemed to freeze. The bright smile that spread across his face.
"Lando!" you called, your voice breaking the spell that held him.
He closed the distance between you in an instant, pulling you into a tight embrace, his arms wrapping around you as if he never wanted to let go. "You’re here," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. "I can't believe you’re actually here.”
