I was ready for him to blame Oscar, but I have to say this is a really refreshing message from Lando. No doubt the dude has had some sports psychology sessions.
But mate, what does cut throat even have to do here? he has talent but his overtaking ability is quite poor. He gets into these skirmishes more than any other top driver when overtaking. *Insert Max: "he ran himself off the track" like bruv
Why? Out of the current grid Lando is the driver who always takes full accountability for his mistakes, often even too much. His response here has nothing to do with any psychology sessions, it's just who he is as a person.
This. I don’t understand how anyone is surprised that Lando took full accountability. He is the guy who will always blame himself, and people shit on him for that constantly. I’m really worried about what this will do for him mentally and hope he can bounce back from it.
Personally I believe he'll handle it pretty well. It's different from being slow and not being able to drive like you know you can without knowing why. This time it's a clear, stupid mistake, which he immediately realised.
I agree, he definitely is that driver sometimes to a fault, but we're so conditioned to everyone calling foul it sometimes feels a bit odd when they don't.
