The hell happened here 😂

Source

carlando moments that alter my brain chemistry (in no particular order):

1. british gp 2023: lando spots carlos from afar and goes “ omg it's carlos sainz ! ” . when crofty goes onto ask “ do you have to wave at him everytime ?” lando answers quickly with a “ i want to beat him ” cue to oscar agreeing with crofty and replies “ yes. he has to. (wave every single time he sees carlos) ” + crofty pushing the carlando bromance agenda.

2. british gp 2023: post race interview. carlos asked about lando's podium. “ congrats on the p2. i wish he would have won more than p2, but still congrats. ”

3. the iconic interview clip i go feral over aka lando accidentally calling daniel “ carlos ” .

4. “ sorry i was looking at the podium ” . self explanatory.

5. “ bromance , romance? it's the same thing no?” (australian gp 2023.)

6. that ass tap during the dutch gp 2023, and carlos looking confused as to why was he even walking ahead and lando looking back to check if carlos was following him?? what the actual hell? someone give me a heterosexual explanation for that?

7. “ i'll decide what to do , with lando . " — austrian gp 2023.

8. carlos's wedding post. CarLando; wedding edition. self explanatory.

9. the garage video with the alphatauri drivers making their way through the ferrari garage, and everyone in the ferrari garage unphased and greeting lando. lando chilling in there like it's so habitual. nobody bats an eye. cue to carlos practically chasing away both yuki and daniel.

10. spanish gp 2023. the entire press conference. whatever foreplay was happening and the way lance just moves to give lando space because it's obvious lando would sit with carlos. (+that lando's “vamos!” comment and reposting f1's post as a story captioned “ home grand prix for mr español 🇪🇸. worth carlando post needed ”. because there is no lando without carlos and no carlos without lando.

Hamilton says Mercedes buzzing with new energy since double podium in Spain as he offers contract update

Lewis Hamilton has said that he and Mercedes will take “a lot” of confidence into this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix after the team logged their first double podium finish of 2023 last time out. Hamilton and team mate George Russell both made it onto the rostrum at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, with Mercedes emerging as the nearest challenger to Red Bull driver Max Verstappen in race trim. READ MORE: Hamilton points to ‘something in the pipeline’ for Mercedes as he eyes Red Bull fight by end of season Asked how much confidence the team have following their breakthrough result, Hamilton said: “Yeah, definitely a lot. We’ve been making progress and the car… [After] the last race, we’ve all been buzzing, I think, back at the factory. “The whole team has this new energy and it feels like we’ve kind of got a North Star, we know where we’re going and we know how to get there. So everyone’s just churning away and working as hard as possible. “I’m excited coming here. We genuinely don’t know whether this track suits our car, and the car’s characteristics, but the weather may change that, and we’ll see.” Hamilton also confirmed during Thursday’s press conference in Montreal that there had been “progress” regarding a new Mercedes contract, having said after the Spanish GP that he was set for more discussions with team boss Toto Wolff. “I’ve seen Toto, we’ve talked several times, we have a great relationship, but there’s nothing else to say at the moment,” the seven-time world champion commented. THE FIRST WIN: David Tremayne remembers the magical day in Montreal when Lewis Hamilton became a Grand Prix winner Pushed about the situation later on, Hamilton added: “I don’t really have a huge amount to say. It’ll get done when it’s done, if that’s next week, if that’s in a month’s time. As long as it gets done, it doesn’t… I’m not really bothered.” When the race weekend gets under way at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Hamilton has the potential to set two outright records, with the 38-year-old currently tying Michael Schumacher on six pole positions and seven race victories in Canada. Meanwhile, Mercedes will be looking to strengthen their grip on P2 in the constructors’ standings, having moved above rivals Aston Martin with their double podium. via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

Carlos and Lando talking while others were answering questions (and Carlos being ok with that):

Lando talking with Lance and Carlos like “TEACHER, THEY ARE TALKING!”:

Carlos looking at Lando and 🫦

Lol Logan looking and giggling at them in the press conference because he’s heard all the stories about how loved up they are from Oscar who has to witness it on a regular basis and this is Logan’s first time witnessing it up and close himself

Logan is all of us

So my interpretation of what happened is this - I think Lando complains to Carlos about him not saving Lando a seat in a very bratty way because as soon as Lance starts moving over to give up his place, Logan also starts looking around to see if he has space to move lmao this is incredibly funny

I watched it again and for me it seems Logan starts to move as soon as Lando enters the room ahahah (he already know that the husbands need to be together).

Because I’m obsessed, I listed all the possible interpretations:

- Static shock

- Lando pissed off that Carlos didn’t save a spot for him

- Carlos caressed Lando’s knuckle (and Lando “not here you muppet!”)

- Carlos hand was sweaty

- Carlos held Lando’s hand for longer than necessary (and Lando “not here you muppet!”)

- Carlos tickled Lando’s palm

It also can be a combination of some of them.

look at them 😮‍💨

Look at them 😭😭😭

The whole Carlos’ mood question.

Wait I rewatched it again lol. Also look at the form of carlos’ hand as soon as lando pulls his. Gentleman holding his lady’s hand I tell ya :”)

I guess you’re the same anon! Again, for reference:

“My lady, please let me kiss your hand!”

My interpretation to the hand holding thing; I tried to watch it in slow motion and Carlos’s hand was basically holding lando’s. Like not an actual grip which’s what lando was doing. Lando had all his fingers closed on carlos’. But with carlos, only the four fingers while his thumb was still elevated. It reminded me of when gentlemen hold a lady’s hand delicately to kiss her knuckles. It felt like that what carlos was aiming for while lando tried to keep it as a handshake, cause right as carlos’ thumb was about to land on Lando’s knuckle (or it just did and it was a soft caress) lando startled and pulled his hand back. I don’t think carlos was about to kiss his hand (that’s too much for the context and carlos didn’t move from leaning back on the couch) but maybe he was about hold to it in such a loving way that prompted lando’s reaction. Another one in favor of the “not here you muppet” theory

For reference:

Your interpretation reminded me of this fic 🥺

I’m imagining Carlos kissing Lando’s hand ahhh honestly, I think no one would bat an eye 😂

“Car or driver?”

My guess is, since Lando said they were supposed to play golf, they both stayed at that hotel at first, then Lando probably moved to Hilton around Thursday, when their f1 duties start

The golf date! I forgot about that! Yep, this is a good hypothesis. And Thursday…
