Please take a minute to listen to an 18 year old Arvid Lindblad's response to a world champion asking him 'What is this world like, the F1 world? You've obviously been in F2, but this is something different altogether, the pressure it brings.'
Arvid: "It is very different and to be honest it's hard for me to really answer that now because I've only done a weekend, I don't really know what it's all like but I think it's an interesting point you make on pressure because a lot of people told me and you know.. I've done one weekend I don't want to talk too much but coming into this weekend a lot of people said there's going to be a lot of pressure and all this and that. In the end, I'm here for myself, I worked my whole life to get to Formula One, I don't have to do it for anyone, I'm here for myself because when I was five years old I had a dream and my dream was to be in Formula One and I was living my dream today and I just wanted to do as best as I possibly could you know and yeah."
Laurent Mekies and Helmut Marko said they’ve been listening more closely to Max Verstappen’s feedback since Monza, instead of relying blindly on simulator data.
Maybe they should’ve done that earlier. Adrian Newey has said it before: Max’s input is crucial to making the car better and faster.
Put yourself in the shoes of a non Max fan for a second.
You have just watched 4 people bottle the exact same corner consecutively.
You're not even thinking of him.
You have your heads in your hands.
You give yourself 1 glance back at the TV.
This nigga is double purple.
