Carlando is the supreme ship
Whatever Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris got goin’ on is the stuff of fanfiction. Did you hear this supposed Charlotte Sefton (former McLaren Communications Director) quote about them??
These men are in love. And I believe that it’s fully platonic too. Like, these dudes are actual bros. We don’t see it a ton in Formula One, because even (read: especially) among teammates, there’s so much competition between drivers. Carlos and Lando seemed like genuine friends when they were teammates at McLaren, and they seem like even better friends now that they are not. The Carlando ship passes the “are we friends or do we just see each other every day?” test. They attend weddings together, go golfing together, and now have a 1-2 podium to their names! Seems like 5-ever to me…
Here are my honorable mentions:
Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton - in their old age (old for race car drivers), they seemed to have a huge amount of mutual respect. Apparently, Lewis is the only one with Seb’s phone number??? I do live for them as a duo.
Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda - these men were flirting with each other the whole time. the WHOLE time. I will be making no comment about their sexualities (none of my business). these men want to bone each other kinda...and I get it.
Who did I miss?? I am genuinely accepting honorable mentions! Make a pitch for your favorite ship!! I wanna hear you! 📣
