*blink, Blink* Lando Saying In An Interview The Team Hid The Fact He Had A Brake Issue And Only Telling

KIMI'S P4 IS RE-INSTATED!!!

P4 ON DEBUT FOR KIMI ANTONELLI 💚

I think [Lando] has proven that he has what it needs. He has the skill. I think he will probably have a stronger year this year because of the experiences collected last year. So at the minute it looks like it's Max against Lando, naturally because McLaren are so strong and Lando has gained so much experience.

These two women represent my state actually

I'm going through it rn.. ollie doesn't have the best luck this week 😭

I NEED HIM TO GO AWAY

He forces his opinion on everyone AHEM (invites trump to GP) yet drivers can't share their opinions

Fuck this man, fuck everything he stands for, and FUCK EVERYONE FOR KEEPING HIM IN THIS POSITION!!!

Vettel, Hamilton, and Norris all stand up for what they believe in and because one puny self centered egotistical, small dick fuck got butt hurt because the drivers started to stand up and make voices heard you’ve decided to clamp down on everything and punish them. I can’t imagine what the drivers feel like because they can’t speak on anything anymore, if I was the drivers and the Team Principles I would make sure grievances are heard and honestly tell him to fucking shove it and speak up louder ever before

lmaaaoo he said and what about it 🙂‍↕️

This is brutal even for Redbull standards, 2 races in and they're already swapping??? Not officially confirmed but yet by Redbull though but is seemingly to be true

the thing about max is he has 1 joke and he will run it to the ground. the thing about lando is he will follow max's lead into cutting grass

So for those of you who don’t know this story, here goes. Apologies to those who know it.

Back in 2019 when Lando first came into F1 it was easier to find articles about him as a kid. This seems to been lost to the ether now and I have zero memory where I read it.

Back in the mid 2010s Niki Lauda invited Jackie Stewart for dinner. He needed his opinion. Mercedes has identified George Russell as a huge up coming talent and they wanted to sign him as a junior, but Niki wanted to know what Jackie knew about him.

Sir Jackie was very complimentary about George but suggested to Lauda that there was another upcoming Brit he felt was more exciting and worth a look, Lando Norris.

Over the course of the meal (which with Niki was notoriously quick) they weighed up the pros and cons on both drivers, discussed their potential and agreed by the end of the meal it was in Mercedes best interest to approach BOTH drivers and offer them places. At this point it could be either/or and you didn’t want to pick the wrong one.

However by the time Mercedes approached Lando’s team, McLaren had beaten them to the punch. We will never know if Jackie had already given the Lando sales pitch to Ron Dennis as well by this point. (Yes it was Ron not Zak that brought Lando to McLaren).

The take from this is Sir Jackie Stewart has been team Lando for at least a decade. So when we talk about the weight of expectations Lando carries, it feels he literally wants to get this Driver’s Championship done in Jackie’s lifetime so his belief is justified. The fact Jackie clearly adores him is just a bonus. (I think Kimi might be next on the Sir Jackie project board by the looks of it😂).

(Side note - if you don’t already @norris.content on Instagram is well worth a follow. She is responsible for the video and picture).

I feel like its a good time to remind yall that when grover dies, he'll just turn into a plant instead of going to the underworld so he'll never be able to reunite with percy and annabeth ;)
