Ship Dynamic I Really Like

Does anyone older than me want to have kind of a weird problematic thing going on

Nico's hands immediately there to steady/guide him...and Gabi so distracted by/focused on him, he fully bumps into the poor interviewer, haha.

We mustn't forget that behind Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton was a Mercedes team that had no idea how to calm down in 2016. There were obvious things Lewis would do, like not say Nico's name in interviews and meetings - calling him "the other guy." Every team member could see that they never touched now, only the rare handshake. They also saw that they never reciprocated eye contact properly now too.

But there were things they did could not understand.

During team meetings, Nico would tell half an innocent anecdote and for some reason Lewis would be stormy for the rest of the weekend. And when Lewis inevitably do worse than expected in quali or the race, he would lose his patience and get angry at himself immensely. After a few more incidents, someone got Lewis to admit that Nico was referencing bits of their childhood.

An embarrassing 13 year old memory here, a moment of weakness from a 17 year old there.

Lewis did the same thing back to Nico but it didn't seem to get to him.

When Lewis saw Nico carry a mini box of Frosties around with him during Abu Dhabi, the final dance, he thought it was to mess with him too.

Now we know, he was wrong about that one.

Adrian Newey praising talking about Lance to Sky Sports

“Lance, I think, gets an unfairly bad rap. If you look actually at Lance’s performance against his teammates, when he’s up against Checo, Sebastian, now Fernando, then he’s no slouch at all.”
