so I did a poll and people really took me up on it to introduce "Lando's Boys" - aka the mechanics and engineers we see most often with Lando
now I will say this doesn't have everyone, because McLaren have good crew rotation so this is a post primarily about the main group of lads we see with Lando, now without further ado
Lando's main man, been with him for over a decade now, his trainer his massage therapist his buddy his big bro his babysitter, he needs no introduction....
next we have Lando's head mechanic, another man who's been with Lando since his McLaren journey started, even during Lando's apprentice years we've seen him
usually seen in the special jack man yellow suit, he's tall, he's often been seen cradling Lando's face or screaming in a video rushing to the podium, he caught Lando for the crowd surfing in Miami
Bert (also known as Frazer but he goes by Bert)
next we have another mechanic, works closely with Kyle, you can see him firmly holding Lando's hand more than the others in the video of Lando celebrating with the crew after his AD win
Naylor (aka Michael Naylor)
another man really who needs no introduction, we've all seen him, we all know him, we all feel like him with the giant heart eyes, we're gonna miss him being trackside terribly
newer than the 4 above but no less important, can be seen buckling in Lando on occasion, is also the man I credit for Lando's Silvo podium in 23 for his cheeky comment of "long way to the podium from here"
another man who's been with Lando a long time but from what I can find is a pretty private guy but was there right beside Kyle on the grid to hug Lando once he got out of the car (apologies for the low quality of this one)
next we have engineers, this is Jarv, Jarv worked with Lando in 2019 (he then left to other ventures before coming back to F1 at the end of 23) and is the voice behind the ICONIC tyre breakdown radio message and also "oh no.. me shooooeeees"
and this is Will, we all know Will by now there's a post here about Will for more detail on him
as you can see in the pic below, Lando's worked with these guys for YEARS, top L-R Bert, Richard, Naylor, bottom is Coxy (moved on from McLaren) and Kyle
and here's another McLaren baby pic of Lando salmon-ing in Bert and Kyle's arms
here's some other faces you'll see often, I've named them as clearly as I can on these pics, yet more team pics and here's even some older team pics Lando and co. used to take after races including the vital Lando handstand and shoe throwing
