Max on the online discourse around Lando:
"I don't know why everyone's so doom and gloom about Lando and stuff. I don't get it man."
"He himself is feeling not as comfortable with the car and whatever, whatever else is going on. And he's still on the podium and still leading the championship."
"He's not put a bad results in. [I] just don't know why there's so much noise, all this and that, I don't get it. Bloke's leading the championship, he's been on the podium every race. And he hasn't been 100% himself in my opinion, there's a lot more in there and in the tank to go for the rest of the year."
"There's so much hate? I mean, I feel like we saw- there was so much hate on Vettel when he started to do well, so much hate on Max when he started to do well, this is just sports bro."
"I mean, a lot of it's just forced and you can't take notice of it. People do it just to entertain themselves and whatever it may be. The world carries on. [...]
But you go into the paddock, be around the whole racing community, he's very loved in the paddock. It's not even a thing. It's not real life that, whatever you guys see [online], it's not real."
@landowhiskers you know what really bothers me about the reaction to this whole thing, the fact that it’s been so painfully obvious that they’ve been together for over a year and now what they saw him hold her hand and now they loose their minds 😭😭 😭
Might just be me, but I feel like Max's mods have gotten a bit too strict in chat. Deleting anything mentioning Lando, even when he's on stream and it's relevant, feels a bit much. And also not letting people enjoy a joke for more than like a minute before telling them to move on
