If the Formula 1 track had a love language, “Carlando” would be its poster child! The bromance between Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris is the stuff of legends, and this weekend’s qualifying at the US Grand Prix only solidified their status as everyone’s favorite duo.

In a moment that could have given F1 fans collective heart palpitations, a tweet highlighted Lando Norris, somewhat obstructing Carlos Sainz during his flying lap. But instead of the customary wrath drivers usually display (we all remember when Sainz said Pierre Gasly should “get a penalty” for impeding him, don’t we?), Sainz’s reaction was almost… tender?

The tweet playfully conveyed:

“Carlos if it was another driver: 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. Carlos when he saw it was Lando: omg, whoa! Lando there! I think he didn’t see me but we nearly crashed😯.”

“They’re so cute” – Agreed. Can we get a ‘Carlando’ plushie set, please?

“They set it up the day they were teammates and I’m here for it. Help—don’t hurt— the other, when we are on different teams.” – Their secret handshake? Defending each other’s flying laps. Maybe not this time, but deal!

“Got to love Carlando” – We do! We really do.

“The way he said ‘oh my god’… makes me giggle so bad,” – Does anyone else read it in Sainz’s voice?

“Just 2 bffs” – Making all of us wish we had a friendship pact at 200mph.
