Lando didn’t say they won’t be friends anymore if he doesn’t apologise. He just said he would lose a bit of respect for him. The quotes going around have been translated into Italian then back into English and then have an added element of media melodrama added to them. Same with Lando supposedly saying Max should have let him past, he never said that he sarcastically said he had enough wins, he didn’t need to employ those tactics to get one more. Max also said in the heat of the moment that it was all Lando’s fault and GP was literally laughing and kicking Lando and agreeing with him. Max has had time to reflect and backtracked on that now. What he is saying is about as close to an admission of guilt as you can get. Lando hasn’t spoken on it since the immediate aftermath interviews so people are still quoting those. He looked much calmed down in McLarens race summary where he didn’t really address it at all other than to say he was taken out which was objective truth. They’ll sort it out between themselves once they’ve both calmed down and they’ll move on.
People acting like Lando shouldn’t have fought so hard (literally the same people claiming he was too chicken to fight Max not long ago) and picking apart every tiny error are pathetic, as are those people saying Max should just have let him by. So much of this fandom online is so deeply toxic. The hate on Lando in particular, but also on Max too, is absurd and childish and says so much more about the people doing it than it does about either driver. The parasocial issues in the F1 fandom are some of the worst I’ve ever come across.
THIS. exactly this is what i've gathered now that it's been like a while since the whole thing has happened. some of y'all need to get a life and go to therapy to deal with all the hatred you have stored inside.
they probably were twirling their hair and kicking their feet thinking about what the drivers were gonna say but they were bamboozled 💀💀
I cannot tell you how glad I am at how today turned out. Every single one of those "experts", journalists, commentators and former drivers with less than 3 races to their name who haven't achieved anything significant in their "careers" in F1, all coincidentally of course with a British accent showed up today with an agenda, I have no doubt about it.
They all spent the last 3 days shiting on Max, writing their little think pieces about his attitude, his skill, his craft, lobbying for him to get harsher penalties...They were prepared to badger every driver with questions about Max, trying to force them into saying anything critical about him, expecting to back up everything they've been writing or saying about him yet no one took the bait. In fact quite the opposite, most of the drivers asked defended Max like Daniel, Checo, Yuki, George, Fernano and Kevin, Nico straight up blamed the stewards for overreacting and called it a racing incident, Alex the same. Lewis refused to get involved, something tells me they were hoping for his take the most, I can only imagine how disappointed they were that he didn't agree with Andrea Stella's speculation about the 2021 season. Lastly, Lando of course who in a way admitted he overreacted after the race, suggested that Max maybe shouldn't have gotten a penalty at all and confirmed there's no issue between them.
I can just picture them quietly muttering "fuck" every time a driver defended Max in response to their many questions.
Imagine spending several days very publicly and very confidently giving your "expert" opinion only to have professional racing drivers, each and every one more successful than any of them could've ever imagined, disagreeing with everything you said.
EMBARRASSING 😂😂😂😂😂
disgusting (i love them so much that if my love for them were to become a physical embodiment, it'll be bigger than the universe.)
