Gigi's comment on Teto's latest post. I'm sorry, what? These two need to be stopped š
There's so much space but yes y'all stick together, yes Carlos and Lando. Shoulder to shoulder.
carlos not only being acknowledged and praised for his contribution in race strategy by the team principal but also being thanked by his teammate for it ? oh we prayed for times like this

I donāt think people understand just how impressive carlosā performances have been lately. for the first time in four years, heās working with a different engine, one he said heāll take at least half a season just to adjust to. despite that, he put in the fastest lap in pre-season testing, in p2 in fp1 and a p11 on mediums in fp2. mind you, heās had about a 100 laps of practise in the car. sure, at end of the day these things might not amount to anything in actual races, where it matters, but to produce a decent lap in a position like his would be a feat in itself, let alone laps like that. heās said multiple times to not expect big things season, that the goal is to get better than where the team was last season, and I think the team is already well on their way there, in no small part thanks to carlos.
James Vowels to Carlos post race š»
"Yeah, well done, Carlos. So, again, as Gaƫtan said, that's on us. You should have been ahead of where you were, but it's a hard track to overtake, and you showed really good pace today. That's all I was really looking for. I can't wait for the next two. We're going to be good."
He's getting more comfortable with the car with every race. The next 2 races are going to help so much for him to settle in. Vamos!!
idc what fans of other drivers have to say. the fact that lando is so beloved amongst the drivers, past and present, and team personnel whether itās his own or from rival teams (not you red bull fuck you) says everything. you donāt earn that kind of respect and admiration by accident. heās real, loyal, funny as hell, and actually gives a damn. the people who really know him, who work with him day in and day out, or have raced alongside him absolutely adore him.
and then thereās how he is with fans. heās not just polite. heās present. kind. warm. especially with kids. you can tell who someone really is by how they treat those who are smaller, more vulnerable, with nothing to offer them, and lando always shows up with patience, warmth, and a smile thatās just for them.
