Pierre's actually the son Adam needs - one who willingly will literally sell any old dodgy piece of shit for some fame and a bit more cash. They'd be a perfect match, especially with Kika in tow as well.
Adam should just adopt him and set Lando free. GaslyxPureElectric clothing line incoming, sponsored by DodgyCryptoTrash.com

This is actually making me angry now.
Likelihood is that it is made up bs but on the very off chance it is not and is true, they would be outing someone with this who is not publicly out (possibly two people if the other guy was also not out to some people in their lives).
Doing that to someone is absolutely unforgivable.
Gossiping & speculating like that about the sexuality or gender of ANYONE is appalling. People chose to remain in the closet for all kinds of reasons and forcibly outing someone is just a massive no. Doing it for freaking clicks and kudos on social media or just because they're too fricking nosy to keep their noses out of people's lives and want something titillating to gossip about makes it million times worse.
ETA: I'm bisexual myself and didn't come out until my late 20s, the thought of someone doing this to me before I was ready to let people know makes me feel physically sick.
Also to add, even if the story itself is bs, the driver himself has never publicly addressed his own sexuality, we have no idea how he identifies. Even by making a story like this up you could be forcing someone out or making them terrified that may happen.
(@matto just to be clear, that was aimed at the gossip insta not you. Though I do think spreading it isn't really the way to go either if I'm honest)

It's wrong to seriously speculate on anyone's sexuality full stop when they have not spoken about it themselves.I think one of the biggest problems is that motorsport is still incredibly macho sport (plus we have races in very anti-gay countries or sponsors from those countries) and anything relationship wise deferring from strictly heterosexual is a no no. But only when it comes to men, women can have girlfriends, no issues there, but men, nope, that's wrong. So even if there was a gay driver (and I am not saying there is, this is only hypothetical), I think he wouldn't come out any time soon, if not for a worry what would fans think but also for a worry about his actual job.So yeah, I think this is why it's wrong to seriously speculate about it.
But also with all this - if we joke Carlando is real or that someone has a "boyfriend", it doesn't mean we really think it's real real. Context is important.
Making jokes about Carlando or Yuki & Pierre or whatever is one thing because they are literally just jokes and they all play into it anyway, nobody actually thinks they're together, but actually seriously speculating on somebody's sexuality as has happened a lot to Lewis over the years and I'm increasingly seeing people doing about Lando is a huge no. It is nobody's business how they identify - straight, gay, bi, pan, fluid, whatever - unless they choose to talk about it themselves and public speculation (and trying to dig up dirt which some gossip instas seem to be trying to do) can force someone out of the closet who is not ready which can be incredibly harmful to a closeted person. That goes for all the drivers. NOBODY has the right to do that to ANYONE. If a driver ever talks about their sexuality being anything other than straight or openly starts dating someone of the same sex then fine, speculate which guys they may be hooking up with just as we speculate which women drivers who openly date women are hooking up with.
How people have not learned this yet is beyond me. When Kit Connor was forced out of the closet recently, Chris Colfer, who himself was forced to come out at 18 because of a character he played and massive speculation on his private life, made a really good statement about how the hell is this still happening in 2023 and how has society not learned in the last decade how incredibly harmful this is?

If you can't understand the different in speculating which woman a man who openly dates women might be hooking up with, and seriously speculating whether someone who has never discussed their sexuality and has only ever publicly hooked up with women might be hooking up with men as well then please go and educate yourself.
ETA I apologise for the rant, I know this is not the usual tone here, but as someone who is bisexual and was in the closet until relatively late, this is a huge trigger point for me. The idea of people speculating on my sexuality and trying to out me before I was ready to tell people makes me feel physically sick and the same when i see people doing to others.

This just reeks of misogyny. I hate it when these obsessive driver stans try to blame their bad performances on their relationships.
Even if it was true that they were distracted by their gf being around (it's obviously not true but let's pretend it is for a moment), if a driver is at the point where a relationship is affecting their performance like that, then they shouldn't be in their seat any more. This is elite sport and requires 100% focus and it's the driver's responsibility to maintain that. But of course these kind of fans have to blame the woman every time. Yet more parasocial relationship issues.

Probably enough time to clean her nose and her privates at least.that was fast - straight from Michael Rubin’s party, to the airport, to Carlos

I feel for her tbh.More of an appearance than Isa ever made in 6+ years
Imagine putting up with his bs of insisting on keeping his private life hidden and 'protecting love' for almost 7 years, to the point where it seemed she wasn't even allowed to post a pic of herself with her bf, only to now watching him parading a 'model' around everywhere in broad daylight. Whatever the truth or not of her putting up with cheating/open relationships/whatever else was going on in their relationship, this has to leave her feeling at least a bit shit.

No doubt there will be drama
And there will be wags
Will Rebecca show up after her Hamptons booking?
Micks latest follow puts Carlos's new 'thing' to shame.
Lando/Lewis.... someone's been in a secret relationship?
Carmen's breaking promises amd missing deadlines but she still let's us know she's working
The return of the hamster
I think Fernando and Melissa need a botox intervention
And these two are getting to see each other on the podium more.
Also see poll above. Forgot we can add them

This is like Monaco when Hamster said he couldn't get passes to the Monaco GP or stay with Lando because Lando had family staying with him that weekend and then none of Lando's family were at the GP

I know it's not a popular opinion on here but I really like Oscar and I enjoy their dynamic together.
People say they find Oscar boring but he's just introverted imo, but they genuinely seem to get along really well and I appreciate that they're just letting him come out of his shell in his own time.
