Do you ever remember that Austria-Silverstone string of races where Oscar was literally throwing things and cursing out his race engineer over P2s and compare that to Lando comforting his race engineer as he thought his car was on fire and knew he was DNFing in Zandvoort and still wonder how a team can look at the differences between these two drivers that have been apparent for 3 years now and choose the one that would gladly throw shit at and curse out all of them to throw all the preferential treatment at (car built around him, team CEO and principal constantly shittalking his teammate to prop him up, his personal strategist also working as the team's chief strategist, etc.) [the answer is money. btw. if that wasn't obvious].

Ah fuck, just realised next year is gonna be a whole new level of shitshow. If Lando even marginally outperforms the fraud—hell, finishing P21 to his P22—the 81s will lose their minds about McLaren “tailoring the car to Lando,” even when there’s zero proof (not like we already have receipts proving the opposite). They just watch races and make up bullshit.

Y’all, if you haven’t already, curate the hell out of your socials before the season ends 😂

Saying that emotions are unhelpful is a choice to say the least, can't wait for another round of he's sooo unfazed and focused.

That aside, does he/his fans realize that this approach is unhealthy (and he will likely succumb to that pressure of his repressed emotions); quite frankly it's another facet of his toxic masculinity/mentality.

Considering how his camp has spent years and god knows how much money painting Lando as “weak” for showing emotions, the narrative has taken on a life of its own. Now, when he loses his shit on the radio or on media days and we roast him for it, he’s just being reminded of the toxic circus they built for him.

“Unhealthy”? Nah, it’s a cHaMpIoN mInDsEt. Toxic masculinity/mentality? Not if you’re the “generational talent” that is OsCaR pIaStRi.

stella after the race: we found an issue on the chassis side :)

stella three days later: could be chassis could be engine can’t say who knows

“I have emotions, I still feel everything that everyone else feels. It’s just that, being blunt, I think a lot of emotions are not that helpful,” [Piastri] says with candour.

said right before Suicide Prevention Month, and published during it. That was...definitely a choice.

Piastri’s attitude might be considered somewhat cold-blooded. As a person, he is clearly anything but.

This is supposed to be a puff piece, right? 😂😭

That was on display in Baku last year when Piastri gave a masterclass of driving control under enormous pressure...To no avail as Piastri took his second and still perhaps the best win of his career

😂😭you mean the race where literally everyone at McLaren agreed (and thanked) Lando’s holding Checo back was what won you the race? That's your “best win”? LMFAO.

There's something about how, even when journos try to write puff pieces about the Aussie Clown, it’s like clockwork: “he suppresses his emotions,” “he has no personality,” or somehow both jabs at once. Somehow, they always manage to roast him without trying.

i think the thing that pisses me off so much about the suggestion that f1 cuts practice sessions in favour of more sprints (and therefore also sprint quali) is that the practice sessions are not there for the audience. it's not some super special moral superiority oh you don't watch the practice sessions, you're not a real fan competition, it is a fundamental part of the sport. it's there for the drivers and teams to set up the car and try new things out, and test certain things for their strategies. it has a massive impact on how they then run the car in the actual race, and by trying to get rid of it because, very fucking understandably fewer people watch it, f1 is effectively reducing the amount of actual sport in this sport. which is insane. you cannot rely on simulation alone for these things, multiple drivers have pulled out laps that go beyond simulated ideals, multiple drivers have performed in ways that the engineers simply could not anticipate or predict. these practice sessions matter. they are part of what makes f1 an actual sport, and not just some motorised version of wwe. let f1 be a sport

i am massively overdue for a very very good week where not a single bad thing happens and everything is easy

[addysadness]

oscar had a car leaning towards his style, no mechanical issues and significantly better luck. if he doesn’t win this championship it’s an embarrassment for him.

Send us your unpopular F1 opinions!

you wouldn't survive lando struggling in the back be so for real

well do i have news for you babe, I've been here since he struggled to push that tractor of a McLaren into the points, something I can't say about you 81 folks 'cause that boy hopped into a championship winning car.

I genuinely cannot believe we are now 2+ days into a couple of Oscar fans screenshotting content from the anti tags on here and repeatedly taking it to Twitter to mock the people posting it with usernames fully visible. This is why most of us on here hate f1twt. Because you guys are living in fan wars all day long and it's unhealthy and immature. This is the equivalent of screenshotting someone's private Twitter account and blasting it on main, which you're well aware is very much against that platform's etiquette.

Your driver won this weekend and extended his championship lead. If this is how you choose to react to that for two straight days, try experiencing fresh air or perhaps petting an animal or possibly seeking employment or hugging a loved one idk this behavior is toxic as fuck and completely against the established etiquette of this platform.

Do you even care about the sport? Or are you just little mean girls who haven't matured since age 12 trying to ruin other peoples' days for your own enjoyment because you're so miserable in your own day to day lives? Grow the fuck up.

If they think he’s having a bad time now then I can’t wait for next year when they will see that Australian fight for p21

Can't wait to see mclaren in the back of the field cause I know lando's just happy to be there, fighting with what he has and his it is what it is attitude but i just know aussie boy will suffer and sulk every weekend 🥰

Oscar, at the end of every race win McLaren manufactures for him this year solely because Lando won at that track last year: "Oh, my god, Tom. This track has traumatized me every year except this year. It's a good thing you guys are continuously fucking Lando over this year so I can stop crying myself to sleep." And then Tom gives some variation of, "Yes, Oscie, this is what YOU deserve. Peasant Lando just got lucky the previous two years, King Oscie." And then McLaren scurries off to start making special merch.

Number of statements issued by mclaren urging people to stop sending hate to lando since miami gp 2024— ZERO

Number of days since lando won his first race, becoming a title contender and a target of online hate—485 DAYS

Number of days since lando acted like a mclaren spokesperson to take the heat for them— 1 DAY

[addysadness]

One of the worst things to come out of this championship is the british media’s obsession with lando norris’s mentality, mental strength and championship mentality. Every time he wins, loses, or lucks out badly, the british media only wants to know how lando is doing mentally. They couldnt tell you how his racecraft is or what the technical facts and stats are but they will tell you that after his DNF how he is doing mentally. Fuck british media bias. The lion does not concern himself with the opinion of “british” media.

[addysadness]

Not that this is new to anyone over here, but I’ve been hunting this article like a bloodhound (ya know ya girl likes receipts)

Anyway…McLaren’s team strategist is ALSO Oscar’s race weekend strategist. Conflict of interest? Never heard of her.
