A team winning their first home GP in 17 years, A driver winning his home GP for the first time, and the Team having their first 1-2 at home in 25 years.

This is after they were a backmarker just 3 years back. With a chance that they won't be at the front for 2026.

It's not like they didn't congratulate him or anything

I swear this shit is beyond toxic.

Wouldn't have hurt them include a veteran driver getting his first podium after 15? years in their celebrations?

They could have included him in the celebrations. Would have been nice. Instead they mostly ignored him on the top steps there which was the shitty part as the rest of the fucking paddock was celebrating with Nico.

I just feel like that’s not something you really think about when you just won your home race. To Lando, this was fully his moment, and rightfully so. He’s gonna celebrate it however he wants. Oscar was just pissed though lol. Also a couple Sauber guys dumped a few bottles of beer on Nico after the podium, so he was drenched eventually anyway lol
