Behind the scenes of Charles Leclerc for L’Officiel Hommes Italia
not to sound like broken record but the respect and adoration lando has towards carlos is one of the most beautiful parts of their friendship. the way lando is always carlos’ biggest supporter and number one fan. the way he is enraptured by this man, his friend, his former teammate and isn’t afraid or ashamed to show it. you know even while looking at things objectively it’s the small things that get you, it’s the way lando’s eyes always follow what carlos is doing like he’s the most interesting person in any scenario (sometimes he’s not, shocking i know), or the way he has to make it known that yes carlos sainz jr is his friend and they do stuff together and it’s really cool (not to be confused with carlos’ continuous use of the word carlando, like who does that??), it’s the way lando physically glows while in carlos’ presence like a freaking light bulb.
the fact is while carlos is very gentle when he talks about lando, lando is very firm when it comes to how he views carlos and is not afraid to be assertive when speaking about him and his driving, career or naysayers. he knows carlos’ worth, how much of his spirit he puts into being the best he can in every circumstance and he clearly respects carlos a great deal not only as an athlete but also as a person.
in conclusion: they are very beautiful your honor. i’d like to pick them up and keep them in my pocket ❤️
CHARLES LECLERC, MAX VERSTAPPEN & LANDO NORRIS after the 2021 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Qualifying (April 22, 2022)
I really hope this story about Carlos isn’t true.
This was what I feared when he left McLaren (and why I think he may go back).
He has been dumped and used by so many teams in that paddock. Always the one seen as easily disposed of. He is a huge asset to any team and let’s be fair he’s been teammates with Max (a World Champion) and Lando and Charles (widely considered future World Champions). Not one of them has made him look out of his depth.
Ferrari wake up, Mick or anyone else is not going to be at his level by the end of 2023, there, I said it. Give him the Contract that he not only deserves but has bloody earned!
The only other outcome I will accept is as he leaves Ferrari it’s back to the family he has at McLaren, who give him a decent length Contract.
Carlos and Lando passed off the baton to Yuki and Pierre because holy macaroni, those two are fruitier than an actual fruit basket. Lord.
someone take Carlos' phone away from him i can't take the thirst traps anymore
Take me back to Brazil 2019..
Seriously, look at them 🥺 Their happy smiles, how close they are standing to each other, Carlos' hand around Lando's shoulders holding him close.. 😭
