Carlando - Blog Posts

Sainz Sr. spoke about Lando to skysports and it’s so sweet 🥲

"He's, first of all, a super driver, and, more important, he's a nice person - it is a pleasure always to spend time with him, to play golf with him.

"I know he's a good friend of Carlos, and in that circle, I am a little bit closer to him - he's a super guy and super intelligent.

"He's, for sure, one of the best drivers out there, and it is just a matter of time [before he takes victory], and I'm sure when it comes [the opportunity], he will grab it, and it will be great for him and all the fans."

🥹🥹🥹 Thank you for sharing with me!

The level of trust it requires to pull such move is immense. Seldom are those who would trust each other to do so, and clearly, CarLando is one of those rare pairs. 🥂

I've been seeing some takes about how what Lando and Carlos did was unsportsmanlike and that we’re already dealing with RBR and AT being sister teams and we don’t need unaffiliated teams to start acting like they do, and that is it hadn’t been Lando then Carlos would’ve just done the same thing with someone else.

I call bullshit.

Something like this would have NEVER worked with Carlos and another driver. Why? Because the bond and understanding between Lando and Carlos is on another level. They know each other so well and that's why it worked. They're former teammates, they shared everything back in McLaren when it came to data and the way they drive.

They know each other so well.

I don’t even think people who are outside of the Carlando bubble actually realise this. Carlando isn’t just a work bromance made up for likes on IG and more engagement from fans. They care for each other, respect each other, love each other. They are collageus but that’s not what they truly are. They are friends, I might even go as far to say they’re the racing equivalent of soulmates.

Those saying that Carlos wouldn't have done it with anyone else are right. He doesn't have that level of trust in anyone else. It was amazing to see them understand each other without actually talking to each other. Carlos more than deserved that win after such a genius strategy that he came up with himself.

No one else deserved the P1 because no one else came close to his mentality all weekend.

CarLando - more than friends, a lot more ❤️🧡

carlos's radio message of “ gap to lando every lap" and carlos intentionally slowing down just enough to keep lando within drs range , lando understanding the signal. when told by his race engineer about the gap (0.8) carlos goes like “ it's on purpose ”. do you understand how much coordination, trust and intimacy you have to have with THAT driver to have that amount of telepathy with? like. nobody apart from CarLando could pull that off. i repeat, nobody else.

CarLando, bound by the red string - the string may stress or tangle, but it never breaks 🥹

this is all i have left to say.

i got nothing better to do so i do that (i got a lot of shit to do but I don't want to)
