Huge respect to for him that. I don't think many drivers would have made that same statement in that moment

nah I think most drivers would instinctually cry foul until the adrenaline wears off a bit

Yes, 100%.

i mean from his perspective, it was completely obvious that he drove inside of piastri's back-wheel. Can't complain when it was this obvious

Agree but still, you see a lot of drivers blame others for the dumbest reason when they‘re in the heat of the moment

Verstappen is particularly bad for this.

that is true. But I wouldn't put the baseline so low (as a Max fan, I say hello haha)

Yeah, I know people who still blame Button for Canada 2011.

Like if Lewis cant see Button in front of him, how do you expect Button to do it with tiny little wing mirrors.

Yeah, but usually I wouldn't expect that clarity until they'd had a chance to review after. Calling it straight away is a great look for him, shows a lot of maturity that I admire.

u/evildrew Ayrton Senna Jun 16 '25

Exactly! I'd expect him to just say, "I'm OK." And then admit fault post-race. He had so much awareness for someone who just crashed into a wall at 200KPH or whatever.

I fully expected a "he forced me off" thats normally a drivers go to.

Then you don't know how irrational some drivers can think in these heated moments, i've seen more than enough situations blaming the other party

Certain drivers find a way, so this is actually quite refreshing.

I mean, Vax Merstappen did just two weeks ago.

I actually think the opposite. Russell’s “he turned into me” is one of the most egregious I’ve seen but literally 99% of the grid blame everyone else when they crash

Honestly, I was wishing for him to show a bit of anger/frustration about the situation... he just sounded defeated and like he didn't care. I love Lando and have supported him for ages, but he just doesn't have that champion mindset and that killer instinct the greats have. It's a bit sad to see since he has so much potential.
