“is this how lando fans felt last year” NO 😑 we went through the seven circles of hell, five stages of grief, emotional damage, a full redemption arc, then finally a spiritual rebirth.
so a driver comes on stage to collect his FIRST wdc trophy, he is presented as a champion in front of his colleagues for the first time - objectively a very big moment in his career. and the FIA president decides to do WHAT? like you've got to be kidding right? how is that okay?
"I think Lando must have suffered a bit this year with all the social media pressure, journalism pressure, from criticising him when he was struggling at the first half. It's never easy to be world champion with Max breathing down your neck, but he's won it."

carlos sainz in the media pen: “happy for lando as a driver, he’s quicker than people give him credit for…but more than anything i’m happy for him as a person, he was very open about his struggles, he’s proven to everyone you can be champion as a nice guy” 🥹
