Publicly supporting Lando, but nothing was said about George. That's telling in my opinion.

Reading too much into it imo. He was on Social Media break during his Covid infection, so understandable to not post during that (besides he didnt make a real mistake there anyway). And when Russell beat himself up over throwing points away due to a huge mistake in Mugello Lewis posted a similar message. It's a really nice move and I don't see any reason to read anything bad into it. Norris is actually one of his biggest critics on the grid, so he had many reasons to not compose a message like this.

Anyone watch the McLaren 'No Strings Attached' video celebrating the last two seasons of Lando and Carlos.

McLaren have been so good with the social media stuff in recent years. And the whole culture change at McLaren has been so enjoyable to see - both post Ron Dennis and post Fernando Alonso.

But it just made me more in love with Carlos and Lando as the cutest friends ever, and I'm gonna miss them hanging out together so much. Lando and Daniel are gonna be bants, but it's not going to be the same as Lando and Carlos, they are special.

Oh my god Lando. Why do I love this idiot so much? His Insta story is him being his stupid self.

of course latifis crash has something to do with mazepin... as much as i despise him, i do feel sorry for him (sliiiiiightly), he’s said he’s trying to do better but hes ALWAYS causing drama

Looks like it is the first time it is not mazepin's fault.

So is he saying William's cannot overtake Mercedes? That cannot be right? Utter bollards! Bottas was rubbish and deserved to be overtaken, not just saying this as I like George even the Haas overtaking it I'd support it. Toto is George's Manager too, so should support him is being attacking. He needs to grow some balls and get rid of Bottas he is down can see it, sadly as he is a good driver just not all the time

Yeah, he was kinda suggesting Williams should be kowtowing more to Mercedes.

Problem with Toto for me is he is a team principal, and manager of drivers - even if he officially stopped directly managing drivers he is still effectively the manager of them.

He has major conflict of interests.

Really happy for Sergio and I think they have a good chance at challenging Merc now or at least splitting Lewis and Valterri in the standings. A lot still depends on the car development

 

[Red hair dont care]

Does anyone know what the hell are those stuff that Angela carries on around the padock. Never saw Lewis use anything from that bag. I think last year she had one, but now she has TWO!

His hair bands!

Happy Lando is the best Lando!

https://whendidmazepinspin.com/ no idea how to post a link that works but yes there is a website for mazepin

I do not like Rosberg at all, but the games he and Lewis played when R won, was crazy entertaining. Like two toddlers, but it worked. I can only see Alonso being able to keep up with this kind of fuckery.

Like cooking burgers under Lewis' window

I do quite like vettel as a lady

Looks like a typical PR response. The younger drivers today and their teams are so aware of their image. Can you imagine Kimi or Hamilton or Rosberg apologising to each other after their runs back in the day.

I miss the Nico vs Lewis toddler fights. They always said the same when they won. "what an amazing team, the weather the fans.."
When they lost: "this team sucks, this weather sucks"

 

[StephenTJackson]

Lewis has signed

#JusticeForGeorge

Interesting it's only a one year deal. Hamilton coming for one last title, have 8, outright GOAT (based on no. Of titles) then retire and come out of the closet.

 

[Raquencha]

I’m in two minds. Can’t decide if it will be great or they are messing with something that doesn’t need messing with. I can’t see it sticking long term either.

 

[Nottonightbabe]

Lando was flying around that track! Such a shame!

 

[StephenTJackson]

Also gotta say McLaren telling Danny Ric to move over and him allowing it to happen. Not keen on team instructions but yes worked well this time.
Good race

I do wonder where Daniel's pace was this weekend. He seemed much further behind Lando than I expected even with his still bedding in at McLaren.

 

[Roundhouses]

The only thing that will be disappointing about Max fighting for the championship is having to sit through Christian Horner’s shit eating grin for months. Otherwise, bring it on!

 

[Rubythefirebat]

Carlos was close today, I am so happy for him!

Episode 3 showed me a few things that I almost sort of knew.

Spoiler: DTS E3 opinion

Bottas is a lovely gent and quite sensitive
BotASS was quite bold but I was pre warned so it wasn't a shock to see
Lewis acts like a petulant child when he doesn't get his way
Toto is great until Lewis is mentioned
1st/2nd driver being debunked is absolute bollocks
