woah. just thought about max saying 'i told you already many times there will be a day anyway' in the post wdc clip. like they're for real friends. they're getting a little bit deep with it in the club or over brunch. max knows lando wants to prove himself and reassures him that he can do it. and they've had this conversation before. many times. unprompted. insane.
what's fundamental to understanding them is that they've literally been online friends since lando was 17. like that's oomf. lando had the pic of the first time he met max as tweens as his computer background. during covid max would call lando in the middle of stream and send him selfies between iracing and make him laugh. lando would defend max on twitter when he got in iracing drama, max defended lando when he got the mnet evil editing on dts. lando rooted for max to win 2021 while being british which was punishable by death. when lando moved to monaco in 2022 to dodge taxes and was lonely, he spent the entire summer w max and kelly and they didn't just include him but his bestie and then gf were also in the circle. lando introduced max to padel and they still play together now. they partied together after max won his championship in 22, after lando's first win. they got crepes, they fly together like 15 hr flights and even hulkenberg mentioned at the height of the battle last year they'd yap throughout the flight, max's stepkid adores him. max offered him to come join him at redbull if he wanted to win, and always maintained landos a good driver he just needs the car to prove it. and even last year he inadvertently scolded his fans for making up narratives and reaffirmed that lando is a good person. lando has chronic foot in mouth disease but even after austria he woke up first thing in the morning to text max, and max respected that a lot. the only thing that mattered to him was his relationship getting on well with lando. lando said he believes you won't get a better driver than max in formula 1 ever again. lando lost the championship, left the media pen, then came back just to hug max. max told him, many times, that his day is coming.
