lando on the hurt of losing out on the straights due to the issue despite delivering a strong lap:
"it's tough. i'm more happy because i'm still struggling a lot in the straights everywhere. i'm just down on every single straight.
every time i get a good exit, i'm just slower at the end of the straight. it just hurts seeing this every single time. i should be higher up.
not because i could have done a better job necessarily, but just because we're not getting everything out of the car that we need to. that doesn't make my life tough today, but it also makes it tough for tomorrow"
"this circuit is a mix of high speed, high deg and temperature. will we see the best mclaren?"
lando: "there's also long straights.. there's a lot of straights"
"i've known jon for 13 years. he's been there so much for me, but not just on the physical front, also as a person. he's very much just a very good friend of mine who knows me better than most people. he's always very honest and he'll pick me up on anything that i do wrong" ❤️❤️
lando speaking about his close relationship with jon 🥹
"i've known jon now 13 years. i've genuinely grown up with him. he's been there so much for me, but not just on the physical front, also just as a person. so he's very much just a very good friend of mine who knows me better than most people know me.
he's always very honest and i think that's why the relationship's so strong. he'll pick me up on anything that i do wrong. i've always preferred that way of doing things rather than anyone being overly kind or anything. so i appreciate honesty over complacency and that's one of the biggest strengths of our relationship"
