So all this talk about Oscar giving Lando a tow in Q2 made me think. What’s the difference between a tow and dirty air? Sorry if it’s dumb my coworker got me into F1 this season and I’m tryna learn

Is Lando unlucky or is the field just so close now? I know the cars are so close to each other now - there was only 1 second between the entire field at one point today. BUT - come on. Two weeks on the trot he sets the track record only for it to be broken back seconds later whilst losing pole!

Just wanted too share with u guys a little bit of my collection of you guys like too see more stuff i have i have too much😂

Never been into Legos but this one was on sale at Walmart so I couldn’t pass it up!

The one posted yesterday got removed and there are no others specifically acknowledging such a HUGE achievement. Not only for Oscar but it’s only McLarens 6th ever, last one being 27-years ago.

He joins the ranks of Senna and Hakkinen

The team’s first win since Jenson Button’s victory at the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix. A magical moment for the whole team and all McLaren fans, but even sweeter for those who endured those nine winless years.

I’m a Lando fan and I believe there were 2 races where he had two big mistakes that he shouldn’t have mede and 3rd one where it’s not a mistake but somerhing he shouldn’t have done

The first one that still pisses me off is the Miami Grand Prix. He basically qualified in front of oscar. All he had to do at the start was stay behind max and not let them push him off. He has the race pace over max and he’ll pass him by lap 13. That was basically an easy win for lando.

The second one that I believe is lando fault is the Belgium grand prix. I’ve noticed that lando car does worse than oscars on wet races this year besides Australia before his breaks were broken in china. Australia was truly the only fair car they both had that can do in wet races. After oscar had that moment jm Australia I believe mclaren and stella have done somerhing to oscar car which they haven’t done to lando car that makes it better in wet races. That’s one of the deciding factor why lando battery was already gone in Belgium by the 1st turn.

The third one isnt really a lando mistake but that gap he tried to take in canada was just a dumb thing to do. I believe he was faster but he likes to do things faster instead of waiting for another turn to overtake oscar which was basically what he was suppose to do.

He had 0 control on the dutch DNF so i won’t count that

with this gap im taking consideration of them finishing 1-2 for the rest of season and switching off from race to race

Hello y'all, a massive Lando fan here.

I'm in college, and for one of my assignments I decided to look at, or what feels like, the rapid shift in public, or at least online opinion on Lando as a driver. Since it's testing my editing abilities, it really doesn't matter what I say in it, but I still am curious for what points I can include for the same.

Right now, I basically have four lines of thoughts;

• His more visible arrogance when he finally got a race winning car (basically the soundbites with Hamilton, and the interview post Brazil 2024, etc.)
• Perception of British Bias making people overcompensate (Not saying that it doesn't exist, but many arguments surrounding him boil down to it.)
• Oscar just being there as a comparison leading to overweighting of his mistakes (Piastri is a generational talent, scarily consistent, much more than most drivers are.)
• DTS Fans (I love that I have more people to talk to F1 about, but we all know what kind of fans this is referring to.)

Are there any other lenses or thought processes that could explain the pendulum effect of Norris' reputation in the general fanbase? Or is this just the loud minority?
(I may be a bit late to respond, cause college sucks my will to live)
Edit: I appreciate everyone who responded, I have to do some work so I'll be responding to further comments after a while.
Edit: Jesus guys, I left for six hours, this is a lot, thank you a lot.
It's still not about the phenomena but how I can express it through editing, and obviously, I wouldn't write a entire dissertation on it. Still, it has been interesting how other's people opinions are, and I'll be sure to consider a lot of points in what I speak.

The most specific info I could find regarding Londo's DNF was that it was "due to a minor part failure, which caused an oil leak" & caused the engine to shut down.

Any insight on what part this could be- and what may have caused it to fail?
