lando speaking about the increased invasion of his privacy recently:
"i am getting a bit older and i want to be able to go out. that doesn’t mean go out and party, that just means have dinners and get out of the house. last year, i would just ‘game’ and feel like a loser, being in my own home. that’s not a bad thing. i would keep myself to myself and be disciplined. but now, instead of gaming until midnight, i will go out with my friends and have dinner until midnight. i have always enjoyed doing that but now more of it is seen on social media and there are more cameras. it is about experiencing life outside the world of formula one which i have the right to do.
the next level is paparazzi waiting for you in places or tailing you. i drove to my friend’s house in london, and i knew a paparazzi was just following me the whole way. and following me through london for 40 minutes, just waiting to see who i was going to meet and where i was going. and that’s the first time where i started to feel a bit more violated in my life – that i can’t leave my hotel or house without someone trying to see every move i am doing. it doesn’t feel as though private life is private, it is just life now. that is part of being a formula one driver, but there are boundaries, and i won’t accept people following me. that is just odd."
