what happened in silverstone im new to f1 and a landoscar fan 🥹
(i'm gonna assume you're asking about silverstone 2023 since i referred to it in my previous ask but pls correct me if i'm wrong!)
so basically, since 2023 was their first year as teammates, during the first half of it lando and oscar were still figuring each other out, i.e. a lot of their interactions were still a bit awkward, they were hesitant around each other, physical touch was pretty much non-existent... and then came silverstone!!
for me there are two highlights which are the long handshake and the fan stage side hug so i'll focus on those but on youtube there's a mclaren unboxed that shows a bit more behind the scenes stuff from that weekend if you wanna dig deeper!
the Handshake™. the context is that oscar approached lando in the media pen to congratulate him on his p2 & lando told oscar he was sorry that due to a safety car he couldn't be on the podium with him. here is the visual. to this day i still don't know why. or how. or why again. i just know it's mesmerizing. it just keeps going.
the fanstage side hug. after the race they were both pretty happy because it was the first time in a looooong time the car seemed actually competitive and they were all 😁😁😁 during the fanstage because of it. when they were asked to take a pic with the fans, oscar out of all people put his hand around lando. this surprised EVERYONE because, like i said before, they were still figuring each other out + oscar is just a very not touchy person in general. even lando was shook (see reference below).
so basically just a great weekend for them, the team, and the fans! good memories 🥰
also, since you said you're new here, feel free to ask away if you have more questions! 🫶🏻
