Yeah his face and the jumping around flicking off the camera (jokingly) I dont see as really joking. I think he is currently beyond pissed. Clearly Mclaren is not even looking part of the midfield at this point and if thats the case, he can literally kiss any chance at a world title away. i know that seems like a lot, but Mclaren obviously screwed up the overall all design this year again. the floor dragging again and the over all just lack of pace is way more than the brakes.

honestly i think lando threw out 20 million which was way more than he would have gotten elsewhere
and zak said okay
so yeah, pure cash... but also being the star of the team
