One of Australian fuck-up Michael Masi's human errors. Cars shouldn't have been on track at all in those conditions, but he was more worried about entertainment than driver safety. Lando crashed, had to go to the hospital for further X-rays and evaluation.

there's only one mclaren driver who lets gimmicky shit like that get in his head, and it isn't lando norris.

The ONLY reason McLaren didn't irredeemably fuck up that day and probably lose Lando as a driver altogether was because they didn't get the safety car they were praying for to conceal Piastri's fuck up.

I'd argue Sochi 21 and Brazil 24 were also horrid for the same reasons. Brazil 24 because Verstappen fangirls are irritating as fuck, Sochi 21 because F1 fans in general and especially dumbfuck Australians who were calling him that "NoWins" shit in person were annoying as fuck. I know recency bias and whatnot people tend to view Brazil as worse and a worse treatment from fans, but I'd argue both resulted in hate and harassment that stemmed years and not just like immediately following the race then people moving on like they do when Leclerc or Verstappen or Piastri or quite literally any other driver on the grid has a not-so-good-result.

where are the OG Landorinas horror stories as options like some of these are nowhere near as bad as some of the shit that was going on at the end of 2021

mostly because i went to get my fav comfort food today, so like. theoretically i could go back sunday if i needed comfort but like. too soon.

Like, I don't care about Oscar. They can papaya rules fairness his ass into a DNF, but Lando's side of the garage better get a lot more serious right now.

and beyond that, idek what 81s are crying over. there's no way to shake out this situation where that podium magically becomes peeassthree's anyway.
