THIS.

I think people are blowing this out of proportion a little bit. When Lando said what he did you have to remember that it was literally just after he’d been taken out and he was still mad. Sure Max was a little bit more calm and composed but I think that’s just because Max has learnt to control his upset straight out of races a lot since 2021.

I think that when they’ve both calmed down and looked over the race again they will talk it out properly. The press was press that happened right after the race. We haven’t actually heard anything since. The newspapers and the press always do this to create good stories, they spin things to make it seem like it’s more than it is. They will keep posting things for the next few days that are all from Sunday to make it seem like that rage from directly after the race is going on. From now until either one says something themselves again, just remember that what they said was after the race when tensions were high and the reporters were doing what they do best - trying to stir shit up!

Lando isn’t evil and neither is Max. Lando didn’t secretly not even want to be Max’ friend for a while and he didn’t think of Max in as high regard as Max thought of him.

Let’s also remember that Max did block Lando and Lando didn’t turn off. It was Max’ fault in that moment, however he has been punished accordingly (10 second time penalty in the race and two points on his licence) and let’s also remember that Lando was also driving quite ruthlessly throughout the race. They were both being a bit silly.

They’re in a fight for the championship. Things were obviously going to come to blows at some point, even if they are close friends. If their friendship can’t get past this, then maybe it never was meant to be. Having a friendship that’s close in such a competitive sport is going to have its big bad moments, let’s just hope that the boys can make it through. Let’s not put them down because the both of them genuinely had something good going on! 💕
