AND THAT HE SAID.
🎙️: "antonelli said that mercedes is not the fastest car anymore and mclaren is way too fast in zandvoort. and russell said mclaren is the team to beat. is that to put pressure on you?"
lando: "well, they're not going to say themselves, are they? they're not going to say that they're the team to beat, if they just got beaten today. so i don't think it's true. i think if i didn't get kimi when i overtook him, i don't think i would have won the race today. it's hard to say.
but i also know how good of a job i'm doing behind the wheel, and of course i'm never one to over-talk about myself, so normally i'm always the complete opposite. but for once i will give myself a little bit of credit that i feel like i'm doing a better job than everyone, and i think that can also make a difference. we certainly have a car now capable of beating them, even like we looked at yesterday in qualifying, but we didn't win yesterday, and we didn't really change much. but i worked a lot on my driving. i want to believe more than everyone else again, and we turned things around today.."
"like i said, i know when the car gives me what i want, on top of that, when i'm driving at the level i am now, i can win races, and that's exactly what i went for" 😮💨🔥
