Absolutely wild quote from Lando. What is his explanation for Lewis’s success? Because it used to just be Lewis didn’t have to do much since he had the fastest car, which whoops. Also how does he explain Mick Schumacher not even having a seat?
Also doesn’t explain Oscar beating him H2H or the fact that he would almost certainly be beaten by Charles or George in equal machinery, and probably others.
I am sure we are about to get a walk back with a claim it was taken out of context like every other time Lando shows us who he is as a person.
I had to fact check it twice because I was convinced they were making it up but he deadass said it with his full chest 💀
The full context is him starting of by praising Max saying how he could never see hismelf being compared to him because he's so good and then contradicting himself towards the end with that diabolical quote which just undoes all the sincerity from the beginning.
The concept of Lando Norris, son of a multi millionaire worth over 200+ million who invested at least 44 million into shaping his F1 career, going as far as to buying him that seat, making sure he had every opportunity possible from a young age, downplaying Max's success to him being a 'Nepo baby' 😭
Majority of the grid comes from a family with no racing background, hell Lewis and Charles came from a middleclass background on top of that and had to work twice as hard and sacrifice so much to get these opportunities that he got on a silver platter and they're way out of his league talent wise
Not only is he embarrassing himself, he's also disservicing his parents too, saying "my mom and dad weren't drivers" so that's why I turned out the way I am as if they didn't hire the best and most professional coaches to help him?
I knew he was gonna get creative with his excuses now that he's losing to Oscar but my god I at least expected him to keep a bit of his self respect and dignity
