drained. that’s all you could describe it as. it was like the life was sucked out his eyes.

the f1 community was harsh on lando as he was such a talent. however, usually, he knew how to respond and when to take his breaks but this was new.

recently, he started dating this portuguese girl magui. she was an actor and model but she had a very controversial past — racist, islamaphobic, cheater and nude leaker. so loads of people didn’t liek her.

lando had been your best friend for years so you were happy for him but you couldn’t help but feel like she was using him for attention. yet the main thing was as soon as she was around he seemed drained, sad or just not really there. you assumed it was just a coincidence but after it happened when he got p2 in barcelona, you knew you were right.

she arrived on race day to “support” and he immediately looked upset. you knew something was wrong.

you lived in monaco too while magui lived in lisbon so you flew back with lando. you two were gonna order a takeaway and just let him relax in his apartment before you went home to your apartment.

you two were sat eating a chinese on his sofa, the TV on in the background so you decided to speak up.
