Hi queen! I hope you have an amazing day. Could I please request Oscar with an Asian reader and her teaching him a bit of Japanese or something. When McLaren films some content everyone is like really impressed Oscar speaks such good Japanese. And he is like all thanks to my girlfriend
McLaren’s media team was buzzing with energy on a sunny Thursday morning in Melbourne. The garage had been cleaned and cleared to make space for a casual filming setup. Two director’s chairs were placed in front of a backdrop that read “Language Challenge – Aussie Edition,” with small Japanese flags printed in the corners.
Lando was the first to arrive, grinning as he read the sign. “Language challenge? What is this, Duolingo: Driver Mode?”
Oscar followed closely behind, a coffee in hand, looking way too calm for what was about to unfold. “You’ll see,” he said with a mischievous smile.
They took their seats, and a member of the media team handed each of them a little whiteboard and a marker.
“Okay boys,” the director began, “we’re doing a Japanese word guessing challenge today. You’ll each hear a word in Japanese, and you’ll have to write what you think it means. Winner gets... bragging rights.”
Lando groaned dramatically. “Why do I feel like Oscar has an unfair advantage?”
Oscar just smirked and leaned back in his chair. “Well... I might have had a little help.”
The camera rolled, and the first word was played through the speaker.
"ありがとう (arigatou)"
Lando looked like he was having a brain freeze. “I’ve heard this before,” he muttered. “It’s in anime, right?”
Oscar was already scribbling confidently.
Lando finally wrote something down: ‘Good morning?’
Oscar held up his board: ‘Thank you’
“Correct!” the media person called out. “Oscar gets the point!”
Oscar turned to the camera and grinned. “All thanks to my girlfriend. She’s been teaching me.”
Lando narrowed his eyes. “Wait, since when do you speak Japanese?”
Oscar chuckled. “Since I met her, really. She moved to Australia from Japan back when we were still in school. Her English was still a bit rough, and I kind of... helped her out. And she helped me with Japanese. It became our thing.”
Lando’s eyes widened. “Mate, that’s like... so romantic. You’re casually bilingual now?”
Oscar shrugged modestly. “I wouldn’t say bilingual. But I can hold a conversation.”
The next word came through:
"猫 (neko)"
Lando blinked. “What the hell was that?”
Oscar grinned. “Come on, you’ve seen enough memes to know this one.”
Lando shook his head. “Nope. Not a clue.”
Oscar wrote down ‘Cat’ and lifted his board.
“Correct again!” the host called.
Oscar smiled fondly. “She taught me that one when we saw a stray kitten near the station. She just went ‘あっ!猫!(Ah! Neko!)’ and ran to pet it. I had no idea what was happening at the time.”
Lando laughed. “You were probably like, ‘Is she casting a spell?’”
Oscar laughed too. “Pretty much.”
“Say something in Japanese!” Lando urged. “Impress me.”
Oscar glanced at the camera and then straightened up a little, his voice soft but confident.
“彼女は僕のすべてです。”
(“Kanojo wa boku no subete desu.”)
(“She is my everything.”)
The room went quiet for a moment. One of the media girls in the background softly whispered, “Oh my god.”
Lando clutched his heart. “Okay, that’s not fair. That’s like weaponized sweetness. How is Yn real?”
Oscar laughed, cheeks tinting pink. “She’s the best. Honestly. I wouldn't have survived half my teen years without her.”
Another word popped up:
"勉強 (benkyou)"
Lando scratched his head again. “Nope. This one’s a mystery.”
Oscar wrote quickly: ‘Study’
“Correct!”
Lando sighed and tossed his marker down. “Okay, clearly you’ve been holding out on us. You’re secretly a genius.”
Oscar laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. “Not even close. It was just hours of flashcards and cuddles and helping her with pronunciation. She wanted to get better at English so badly. I remember staying up with her, going over vocabulary, watching movies with subtitles. We made a deal: if she learned a new English word, I’d learn a new Japanese one.”
Lando stared at him. “You guys are like... the most wholesome couple in F1.”
Oscar smiled shyly. “I’m just proud of her. Moving countries at that age? Learning a whole new language? She’s incredible.”
The last word came up:
"愛 (ai)"
Oscar smiled instantly, no hesitation. He wrote ‘Love’ and lifted the board.
Lando peeked over and then sighed in defeat. “You know what? I’m just going to go cry in the car.”
The media team burst into laughter.
“I think we all need to find someone like Yn,” one of the camera guys said.
“She sounds like a dream,” another added.
Oscar leaned toward the mic. “She’s real. And she’s watching this, probably shaking her head because I still mess up my particles sometimes.”
Back at home, Yn was sitting on the couch, curled up with a blanket and a cup of matcha, her laptop open and the McLaren video playing.
When Oscar said, “彼女は僕のすべてです,” she smiled so hard her cheeks ached.
She grabbed her phone and texted him:
“You’re such a show-off. But I love you.”
He replied a minute later:
“愛してるよ (Aishiteru yo). You taught me that.”
Later that evening, Oscar came home to find Yn waiting at the door, arms crossed, a playful glint in her eye.
“You know, now everyone’s going to expect you to be fluent.”
Oscar grinned and wrapped his arms around her. “That just means you’ll have to keep teaching me.”
She raised a brow. “Alright, then. Let’s see if you remember this one—‘おかえり (okaeri)’.”
He leaned in and whispered, “ただいま (tadaima).”
(Welcome home / I’m home.)
She kissed him softly. “Perfect.”
And somewhere online, the McLaren video was trending under the caption:
“Oscar speaks fluent love.”
