and sometimes it's not even lewis' accolades they're trying to dispute, often it's downplaying his ability to innovate and put in the work to create an environment in which he can thrive. it's always a shot at his intelligence and this narrative that he couldn't possibly be capable of this on his own it's the team or it's the team putting him on a pedestal as if any team wants him at the top when there's a white teammate to contend with like do you people hear yourselves

One thing the french are going to do is protest.

also sorry to bring it up again and again and again. but amongst all this kimi talk i would love us again to acknowledge that in lewis’s first ever year in f1 he scored 9 successive podiums. he became the first ever driver to finish on the podium in their first 3 races (and went on to get 9) and was leading the world championship by his third race. he took 6 races to win (at a track he’d never raced at before) and won 4 races in total in his first year (including a generational win in the rain). he beat the reigning two time world champion and lost the championship due to a faulty gearbox. like you will never. ever. be him

man with 7 (8) world championships and 7 constructors is brought in to a team that hasn’t won the championship since 2007. team starts listening to his experience and things start going really well for him. team is quoted by his teammate as working the hardest they’ve ever worked with an entirely new energy. teammate decides not to follow the same direction, which is teammates prerogative, has a miserable time. and all of this in your eyes screams favouritism? you will never get anywhere if you keep stifling change and innovation like this
