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😯.”
