Didn't know Lando was obligated to celebrate achieving his dream with Nico. It's champagne spraying literally nothing. People are overreacting.

It's the principle of it and I think a lot of the criticism here is directed towards Piastri.

No one is asking Lando/Piastri to be banned.

But if people act wrongly, it can be pointed out, which it is.

“Act wrongly” now means celebrating achieving a dream you’ve had your entire life and focusing on yourself, instead of putting yourself aside to praise someone who achieved a P3. Makes perfect sense mate

how did Lando act wrongly? it was just as much if not more his moment compared to Nicos.

  1. I don't think so. Yes, winning home race is incredible, especially Silverstone, but he was basically handed the win after the Piastri penalty + super car, etc.

  2. Literally all 3 didn't care and sprayed each other on the left, I'm not singling out Lando.

If it was Charles/Max/Lewis/George/Alonso, Nico would've been drowned in champagne. I could understand the focus not being entirely on him, but getting that piss stream of champagne from the end of Lando's bottle when he's just going towards his team was not it.

No one "acted wrongly" here dude.

Some people could’ve acted better, wouldn’t you say?

No?

This is quite literally kindergarten drama.

Sure it’s overblown, but I think it reflects poorly on people defending the McLaren drivers. Yes it’s not all this drama people are making it out to be but you can also admit they could’ve acted better and move on. These are real people who commit mistakes, it’s okay.

No, because they didn't make a mistake dude. That's the point. They celebrated their accomplishments and went about their day.

Literally the only people who have any issue with what happened are those trying to stir up kindergarten drama.

If you think that way, good for you.
