Heart-wrenching & Beautiful Excerpts From The Article On Esteban Ocon

I just wanted to take a moment to say how proud I am of Lando.

People seem to forget that he got thrown in the fight for both championships the same year he got his maiden win and he’s done nothing but deliver, and this year, even if the WDC is not possible, I know it won’t be the last time he’ll have the opportunity to fight for one, and he’s already learned and grown so much from everything he’s been through, experiencing new things he has never had the chance to simply because he didn’t have a fighting car until this season.

Has he made mistakes? Yes, and I think today’s race was proof of that, but McLaren have also made a lot of mistakes that can cost them big points because apparently you can take the car out of the midfield but you can’t take the midfield out of the team.

Anyway, despite them not fully supporting his championship fight from the begging and making questionable decisions, I’m still rooting for the team because I KNOW how much it would mean to Lando. He’s been with that team for YEARS and he’s put his sweat, tears, and blood since the moment he became part of it. I truly admire him for the trust and loyalty he has shown to that team.

Like Lando said, they’ll keep fighting till the end and they are not giving up until it’s over. All the love to him and to all the Lando fans who have been THROUGH IT today. 🫶🏻🩷

Note: I’m not talking shit about any driver or any team. Please keep your negative comments to yourself as this is very obviously directed to the fans only.

he couldn't sleep for two days straight.

he had to delete all his social media.

he asked mclaren to not include him in pr duties.

all of that during his birthday week.

how far will people go? and it didn't seem to bother the antis, either. they're just gonna keep going.

Max about Lando: "We are friends, now- we are not best friends, it's not like I call him day-to-day, both of us have our own best friends, like that's how you grow up, right? but we are friends! I have a lot of respect for him." " The media sometimes asks some questions with a bit of a.. silly question, and then you give a bit of an answer because you're a bit pressured, you're in this championship fight, i find it a bit unfair how for example Lando gave a comment, and a lot of fans fall out over it like: 'he's not respectful' or the other way around aswell, from my side." "We respect eachother a lot, ofcourse at times we are under a lot of pressure, we had our moments together, clashes and stuff like that, but at the end of the day we can always look eachother in the eye and appreciate what we are doing, we have a lot of respect on and off track." "He's a great guy honestly, he's a great driver also, and I am sure also his time will come, that he will win titles."

i think people understimate how online the drivers, and max are. and he is protective about his friends/loved ones and to see people send hate to a friend of his On His Behalf is probably super fucking weird. because if he knows where he stands with lando, then what are you defending him from?? but will this lead to a moment of self reflection from said fans... of course not

god save the king (x3)

lando on sky rn.... "i didn't even expect to be in the championship"... the long and considered pause before answering... the visible relief...

"i don't think we [as a team] were ready, as much as we believed we were, but we weren't. but we started the season worse on the top 4 teams and we've ended being [one of??] the best teams. not a perfect year on my behalf, max drove too well. i'm looking forward to next year, being there from the beginning".

he has grown up so much

edited to add: someone uploaded the video

"It probably would have been better if had been with my friends but they don't live in Monaco. But they also have lives and busy doing things" 💔☹️😭😭
