OMG these all sound literally amazing! Thank you so much Anon, I will be checking them out as soon as I just can 😍

2-then 2 McLaren sponsorship's events in 2 different time zones during the week off whilst his teammate spends time with mates in Montana, MCLAREN

3- A sim day at MTC whilst battling jetlag MCLAREN

4. He has a meet and greet on 27th for Quadrant at Bluewater shopping center with Krispy Kreme. QUADRANT

5. His home race is the next one where he will be in demand. MCLAREN.

Good lord for him going I need a Break for a day or two. Also spending time with his girlfriend who also travels for work...

Lando has said he struggles to say no to Fans. If he went to Goodwood, he would be working. Not having a break. Then they would complain he wasn't resting before the race.

So he has been doing McLaren work, had a couple of personal days then he has quadrant stuff seems like he's balancing stuff fine.

The man doesn't owe anyone anything.

THE MAN DOESN'T OWE ANYONE ANYTHING. NO CELEBRITY EVER DOES OWE ANYTHING.

Prefectly put together, thank you! Be glad he even does anything outside his already demanding job in F1 and all the things he does with Quadrant from planning/filming and also doing other social events with them.

He had pace in the position he was which was right in Lando's DRS range. Of course he felt quicker. However, the pitwall has extensive data on both cars that they can easily analyse and if they for whatever reason thought Dan was quicker they would have let him have a go.

When Lando in one of the past races was told to stay behind but said he would be quicker in free air (once again, because he was behind Dan with DRS) they didn't let him pass either and made him stay behind (even tho they promised him he would get a chance to try his pace) to give back to Dan for the help at the start of the race.

There could have easily been data about his tyres that showed he wouldn't last pushing or whatever data on any other part of his car. We literally see a snippet of what goes down between drivers and engineers and also between engineers who arent on the radio but are seeing all the data.

A team wont just go and shaft their drivers if he's actually quicker and has any chance to score them any/more points during a race. It could even be as easy as his side of the garage wanted the p11 side of the starting grid or whatever. It's not as easy as Dan or anyone saying "i'm quicker let me by" and exactly that happening immediately.

Anyway everyone goes oh I wish someone would ignore team orders blah blah, then god forbid someone questions team orders that's not allowed because it's not their driver only their driver can do these things...

Anon, I love you and I literally could not have worded it better. I know someone will say they were running out of time for Lando to try, but that does not mean they didn't go against their words. They said he could try too and then next message is stay behind. I'm not saying it would have been better strategy for them to let Lando try, cause at that point he wouldn't have caught Alonso, but it explains perfectly why Lando was a bit more fed up about it.

If you think about it for just a second with a racer's mind, he was given a fair chance and then was ripped of it in like 2 laps time. Yes, team sees it better maybe and it was a good call as he wouldn't have caught him, but why say he would have a chance and then never let him have the chance if in the end, Dan would have been allowed to finish in front of him anyways.

It is simply blatant double standards and hypocrisy just as you said. But it still manages to ruin the mood every weekend. The moment something happens I can already see what they will take out of context or not read up on enough and form it into hate just a few minutes later. It's tiring and brings nothing to the table other than make people, who are great additions to this fandom and create majestic fanart/fics/literally anything, and should be cherished. They will just kill the fandom and then be mad about no one interacting with the sport or them.

The win was literally in the video just like Lewis was... why would they show a driver any more than an important moment, when that driver is now contracted to another team? Hope they have fun crying about it cause it will be their only fun about Dan as he doesn't have a seat unlike the by their words skilles Lando :)
