"when racing is eventually over, what do you hope people remember about you beyond the results you achieved?"
LN: "that i was honest. that i showed you can talk about doubt and pressure and still get to the top, and that being human isn’t a weakness in this sport. if some kid somewhere saw me struggle publicly and win anyway and thought, 'ok, maybe i don’t have to pretend either,' that would mean a lot."
"has your openness about nerves, self and criticism and the psychological demands of competing made you a stronger driver, or has it made your life more difficult?"
lando: "honestly, both. there were times where being open made things harder because people take what you say and it becomes a headline, and then you spend a whole weekend talking about it. but i don’t regret any of it. talking about that stuff took a lot of the weight out of it for me.
and the messages i've had over the years, from young drivers or just people who have nothing to do with racing telling me it helped them, that means more than most results. i'd rather be myself and win than pretend to be someone else and win. turns out you can do it being yourself."
