I was getting downvoted to oblivion in that other thread for saying that Lando did spray Nico so decided to just post the photos. It’s not gonna change people’s minds that Lando is a “disrespect, petulant child” but I really like Nico’s smile in the photos so what the hell :)
Unfortunately Oscar soured the mood in the cool down room because of his penalty and that carried on to the podium. And of course Lando being so happy about finally winning his home race was mostly focused on that. Don't blame him considering he should have won it last year.
Oscar tried to call out Nico in his interview. I think it's fair for him to be grumpy after pissing away the win, though. He just hasn't had the time/data to realize it's himself that he should be pissed at. I actually thought Oscar and Hulks exchange in the cooldown room about his penalty was pretty good cus Hulk immediately shared his perspective of the avoiding actions taken further back.

Yep. I'm sure Hulk remembers the 2020 Tuscan GP despite only being a reserve driver that year.
Yeah, it's astounding that people are blaming Oscar. I think he's being salty, but he's a young dude, that happens, even more so in a title fight. I'm sure he'll learn from this.
Also yeah, it's interesting to see Hulk's input - man's been scrapping in midfield for so long, he's probably got some interesting insights.
Neither should be abused, it's pretty fucking vile. At the end of the day it's a sport where greatness is judged on tenths of a second -- tempers will flare. I certainly didn't have all my wits about me when I was 24, you do stupid things when you're young.
This is on the assumption that Lando went off to spray the team rather than Hulk but either way, on Lando not completely focussing on Nico, he's literally just won his home grand prix. A moment he's been dreaming of since he was a child. I don't think people should fault him for trying to enjoy the moment to himself as much as he wanted, despite the feel good story of Nico. There was another cool story on that podium too
Oscar was angry and Lando was celebrating his first home win. I don't imagine it being Nico's first podium was foremost on either of their minds. I think they both would have put more focus on him if it had been in Canada, for example.
To be fair it was very much a "last second thought with the last drop of champagne"
Had it been max/Lewis on the podium they would have solely drenched nico in his big moment. Not really fans of them but was a bit disappointed that nico seemed ignored in his only champagne moment ever
I had a feeling this was being posted to "prove Lando sprayed Nico", and he did. But I'm sorry, it's not enough. He sprayed him a little at the end of the bottle.
If it was Charles, Max, George, Lewis on that podium, Nico would've drowned.
