i don't even care about the wdc fight. all i care about is if lando is proud of himself at the end of the season for achieving so much.
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.
Charles : Yes whatever you want as always, I did my job, but being nice fucks me over all the fucking time, all the fucking time. It's not even being nice, it's just being respectful. I know I need to shut up, but at one point it's always the same, so- oh my fucking god
Fred : CHARLES
i will take my big emotions in hand at 2:30 AM and say this: Lando has had the best season of his career, and he has done so while staying true to himself, while being genuine and honest and dedicated and more hard working than ever before. he’s had his beliefs tested over and over and over again this year, and i’m so insanely proud of him for sticking with it and continuing to believe in himself and in the team even when it feels like everyone, even his fans, doubted those beliefs at points this year.
a year of growth, a year of learning, a year of faith, and a year of successes he’s never experienced before. 2024, despite everything, has been so incredibly special and i hope he carries that with him for the rest of his life 🧡
i don’t care if these bitches don’t like me
LANDO NORRIS — Nov 13, 1999 —
[Insp.]
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
lando norris winning the abu dhabi grand prix, his absolute masterclass from pole to finish, leading the entire 58 laps i could cry from how perfect he is and how perfect that drive was
lando norris, mclaren's golden boy, their project, the one thats been with them since their worst to their best, loyal through thick and thin has just got them their first world constructor championship in 26 years, who else to do it if not him?
from first time race winner in miami to getting his team that championship, 2024 has been all sorts of emotion for him and us as fans
to being the only driver to have the closest margin since 2021 in the wdc to challenge max, to having most poles in a single season for a mclaren driver in the teams history to being the one to bring his team to victory
this is for future world champion lando norris, next year is your year
Whoever runs the F1 socials might just be a little in love with one Mr. Lando Norris
nothing louder than the silence between two people with obvious tension claiming they're best friends and who could've ended up together but didn't but still have soft spots for each other
