I can't believe Carlos turned out to be even more scared of snakes than Charles LMAO
He literally went through the five stages of grief
"No I promise, there's things in life you’re just happy not to ever do" "Myyy God I don't like that" "I'm so happy to meet her but there's absolutely NO NEED!!!!!!" "I'll go to bed tonight as happy if I have a snake on my neck or not, it doesn't change my life." "What if for some reason this snake decides that I'm his victim?" "How much more dangerous is this thing compared to the other one?" "I knew you like taking risks but not this much"
I love how serious people were that Carlos and Charles hate each other and that Charles was excited to get away from him. Meanwhile those two are yapping and walking the red carpet together, and even though it’s early in the season, they’re vibing. They’re not teammates anymore but they’re still hanging out. In this house we loves solid friendship 😀

carlossainz55 Acting serious 🤣
i’m in my carlando feels rn
cause like, these are two guys who were brought up with similar values, because their parents wanted them to learn the value of money and hard work and effort. these are two guys who got into f1 young, but carlos had a rookie teammate, and lando had carlos. lando had carlos, and carlos taught him the importance of team, and putting in the hours, and how to correctly read the telemetry, and how to improve, and how to grow up when the situation called for it, and how to get out of your head. and carlos had lando too, because lando taught carlos how to be immature again, and do stupid things sometimes, and to let go. they’re always distracted by each other, even if they’re doing something that has nothing to do with the other. they’re always accompanying each other on family trips, and their parents treat the other as their own. they’re always defending each other, always taking the other’s name first when talking about friends in the paddock. except, carlos refuses to call lando a friend because carlos wants to see whether they would be friends after f1 or not, cause that’s the real test, isn’t it? and they go on golf dates where i’m so sure carlos teases lando for being so bad at it. they’ve cooked together, and god, the lore behind it, can you imagine? they’ve celebrated each other’s wins, each other’s podiums. they’ve got their own personal boundaries for each other, things that no one else can do. they have their high pitched laugh that only dogs can hear, and they blush when they stare at each other too long, and they call each other cabron but affectionately, and they’re always going in for hugs, never simple handshakes. they’re carlos and lando, and there’s so much of carlos in lando, and so much of lando in carlos that it hurts my fucking heart. and like, lando still sticking to carlos’ side, even though it’s been years that they stopped being teammates. hell, in the start, lando could walk into the ferrari garage and no one would bat an eye. but, they never stopped being teammates, because no other driver is so in tune with someone else to pull off singapore 2023. carlos’ own team didn’t know what he was doing there, but lando norris did. lando, who repeatedly told his team before abu dhabi 2024 to be careful of carlos because he knows carlos and he knows he’s going to push. carlos taking lando’s racing line and getting pole in mexico. lando being there when carlos got his first victory post surgery, and got his last victory in ferrari. lando being there when carlos was on podium in monza. lando’s been with carlos in 3 out of 4 wins. did you know that? like, those were two boys who were imagining being p1 and p2, and they got it. they got it in singapore, and then mexico, and then abu dhabi. they’re not loud because they’re there for themselves, yk? they don’t hide their friendship, but they also don’t publicly go around waving it in people’s faces because it’s so personal to them. we’ve all seen the adoration on lando’s face every time he’s with carlos, but fuck, the adoration on carlos’ face when lando’s just being himself is so pure and so real. and like, carlos always leaving a little bit of space for lando on track, and lando always being so secure in his friendship with carlos.
these two found each other so randomly, but goddamn, am i happy they did.
