Summary
the fic where Lando Norris + Oscar Piastri's bro day out prior to the 2025 F1 Season sparks up a funky dating rumour. But the McLaren PR team uses this to their advantage to accelerate both boys' careers.
[2025 F1 season realistic—irl interviews/content entwined within the storyline]
—
“We have a new PR strategy for this year to aid with keeping you both in the headlines for longer,” Louise, the CMO, continues. “We want to lean into the wave you’ve both created already."
"We want you to both be in a PR relationship," Zak finalises.
Lando immediately spills a quarter of the water carafe onto Oscar’s lap out of pure shock. Lando gasps out a few squeaky sorry's while Oscar stands up in a fright.
“You mean with… models, or s-something?” Oscar stutters out, looking down to his pants which absolutely looks like he’s just pissed himself.
“No, that’d be a very easy strategy. We’ve used that one for years,” Louise laughs. Neither of the drivers are laughing with her. "You two, together."

Summary
“U-S-of-A,’ George says drily. “Paired with Oxford, couple of other governments, you know how it is. They want us to go down there.”
Oscar lowers the files. Stares at George, who just stares back. “Down there?”
“Look, I voted against telling you. But Alex seems to think it would be mean to leave you out of research you worked on. I know you don’t share that sentiment, Piastri."
Or: There's a black hole in the centre of the Earth. Oscar Piastri is a Nobel-decorated physicist, with nothing to show for it but an addiction to cigarettes and a ring without a finger to put it on. These two things have more in common than one might think.

Summary
“Jesus Christ,” Lando whispered. “I just told Max Verstappen to fuck off. On camera. In a wedding skirt. To protect my—” He froze, gesturing helplessly at the Aussie still watching him with infuriating calm. “—my husband.”
Oscar raised a single eyebrow. He looked about as hungover as Lando felt, but there was a wry tilt to his mouth.
“Well,” he said flatly. “At least you were committed.”
Alternatively:
Lando Norris went to Vegas to celebrate taking the lead in the WDC. He left with a hangover, a husband, and a skirt.
It's not a PR nightmare if you never sober up.- Language:

Summary
Flash. Click. The shot captured them mid-laugh, eyes locked - Oscar’s expression soft and unguarded, Lando’s relaxed and carefree.
It looked real. Too real.
“Brilliant, lads!” PR said. “We’ll send the relevant pictures to you two to post, alright?”
Lando leant back into his seat, muttering, “Brilliant, huh? Guess we’re good at pretending.”
Oscar glanced at him, still caught off guard.
“Yeah,” he says quietly. “Guess we are.”
The next day, the picture hit Instagram.
***
AKA Oscar thinks Lando hates him. Lando is secretly in love the entire time. They fake date to clean up a PR nightmare. It doesn't quite go as anyone expects.
