user1 omg he’s such a cutie
user2 his excitement all weekend has been so refreshing
user3 chat, what’s your favourite thing about monza gp this year? and why is it yn chasing franco around the paddock with a look of exasperation the entire time?
→ user4 she has been working overtime this weekend
→ user5 it’s the way sky sports always know to zoom in on her when franco is talking
user6 the fact that we haven’t even had the race yet and yn has had to cut two interviews short and say many times “he didn’t mean that”
francolapinto today will definitely be going on my list of top 3 unforgettable first times
→ user7 omg can he say that?
→ user8 i wanna know what the 2nd thing is??
→ yn_ln @/williamsracing i need a raise

alex_albon you’ve never taken a good photo of me
→ francolapinto because she’s not your media manager
user9 chat, are they healing? are they becoming friends?
→ user10 i actually saw her smile at him today after weeks of her scowling at him!
williamsracing all our cota favourites rolled into one
user11 okay but she took the most boyfriend coded picture of him
williamsphotographer gonna put me out of a job. i don’t think i’ve ever taken a photo that good before
→ yn_ln what can i say? i excel at everything
user12 why did no one tell me franco’s pr handler was so cute?
user13 i could see her and franco together
user14 can’t believe you’re betraying logan so easily
user15 the fact that logan liked this, which means he’s seen her so quickly forget about him
user16 you used to pretend to be logan’s friend and now you’ve so easily run off with his replacement?

best friend ! lando who spends every free second of his time with you, always making sure you’re distracted enough to not think about what your ex did to you
best friend ! lando who always takes you to his races, happy to see you smiling and giggling next to his mother in the McLaren hospitality
best friend ! lando who comes running to you first after a race as you kiss his cheek, congratulating him on his performance, relaxing into his embrace
best friend ! lando who loves seeing how well you get along with the other drivers and their girlfriends
best friend ! lando who gets constantly teased by oscar about the way he looks at you, how he admires you, and how he’s scared to ask you out
best friend ! lando who secretly blushes every time he stumbles over an edit or a tweet about the two of you, the fans already speculating about wether it’s really just a ‚friendship‘ or something more
best friend ! lando who sees you getting ready in your apartment for yet another first date, an unimpressed and disapproving look on his face
best friend ! lando who waits for your call, knowing he’d have to pick you up after that date. they never go well
best friend ! lando who finally cracks when you’re sitting in his car crying because no guy seems to treat you right
best friend ! lando who wipes away your tears with his hand, his fingers gently caressing your cheek
best friend ! lando who tilts your head to make you look at him, leaning in to finally kiss you
best friend ! lando who smiles into the kiss as you do the same, butterflies erupting in your tummy

FRENEMIES TO LOVERS: ft. lando norris
truly, you don’t even why lando aggravated you to such an extent.
he wasn’t rude to you in any way
just, annoying
what you do know, however, is that regardless of his irritating smirk and sarcastic quips, you couldn’t help but be pulled to him.
in a crowded room, you could be found bickering in a corner together, closed off to the rest of the world.
it was always over something ridiculous — him claiming your shoes were ridiculous and you countering on his horrendous jumper.
at get togethers with your friends, something frequent in the summer months, you would often be arguing about everything.
about the music:
lando removing from queue, and outrightly refusing to play, your music (deeming it ‘depressing’).
you ‘accidentally’ disconnecting the bluetooth from his phone.
about the food and drinks:
lando adding way to much alcohol to the punch that you two had been tasked to organise
you ordering way too much food ‘just in case’ (it’s fine, it was on lando’s card anyway)
lando objecting to the insane amount that people now need to eat (okay so maybe you did go slightly overboard-)
he however, (rarely) could be a godsend:
maybe you were on a group holiday, renting a villa in the outskirts of a quiet town.
it was late, and you couldn’t sleep.
and, it was late enough that your phone touch was needed for you not to fall down the flight of stairs as you made your way to the lounge.
you got the fright of your life when you span around the corner and saw a silhouette sitting on one of the sofas., only a lamp illuminating him.
your phone clattered onto the floor in a loud noise.
you were expecting a snarky comment about your dramatic entrance, or the mismatched socks that you wore.
he must have seen the darker circles under your eyes from your lack of sleep, but he didn’t mention them.
all he did was move over slightly so there was room for you to sit next to him.
wordlessly, he draped the blanket that had been previously folded next to him on you.
you sad silently, watching the crappy crime show that was over 40 years old, that lando had on.
after the repeated plot formula becoming obvious after 5 episodes, your eyes finally felt heavy.
you didn’t notice that you fell asleep with your head on lando.
you didn’t know that he refused to move — even to grab the remote — as to not wake you.
you didn’t find out until morning and one of your friends had taken a photo of the two of you together, that he fell asleep too.
for the rest of the holiday, there were jokes of if you two were ‘going to take an afternoon nap together’, or if lando ‘misses you when he slept’.
one thing your friend said seemed to stick with you a little more than the others: ‘i knew you two had a thing for each other — don’t you see the way lando looks at you?’

Hiiii i just wanna say i love your writing and i want to get into writing fics but i dont know where to start do you have any tips?
thank you so much! I have a few tips you can read down below :) or just dm me!! id happy to answer some more questions if you’d like
im quite a creative person so everytime i listen to songs, i make up stories following the lyrics! that's why for my 1k event, i chose song requests — thats where i get my inspo from anyway!
as example, writing "the greatest" was very easy for me because i went from lyric to lyric — so while i did have to make it my own story (pairing, storyline etc.) i already knew what the main point of the story was — feeling unappreciated / ignored in your own relationship, which obviously is meaning of the song.
at some point you will just go along with your own ideas from start to finish, but it's also okay if you don't. for me it's definitely easier to write to songs because i can basically 'hear' the vibe i want my readers to feel while reading my story — for the greatest, that was frustration, sadness, etc.
for the actual act of writing i don't have many tips as i am not a native speaker. all i can say is, write what you read. and i don't mean that as in 'steal other people's work', but rather as the act of finding different wording or phrasing to make your stories more appealing.
you could write ‘they felt nervous’ or you actually describe how said person’s hands were shaky and their breath unsteady — i think you get what i mean.
if you asked me to write a story in german, it would be a lot better than my english writing here on tumblr. but i’ll just keep reading and reading and reading until i can improve my own writing the way i want to :)
so - just write whatever and whenever you feel like. motivation comes and goes, so does inspiration. i have a wip that’s been sitting in my notion app for months now, but i managed to write ‘the greatest’ in maybe 4 days.
my main tip tho is to just write!!! if you have any ideas, type them down immediately. you can keep going immediately or just continue whenever you find the time or the inspo again - but you at least have something written down already.
school’s been fucking my head lately so idk if anything of what i’ve said even makes sense so im sorry if it doesn’t 🫶🏻
