A greedy team owner and unscrupulous team principal and an entitled driver with unscrupulous and ambitious management is a match made in he*l. M*laren is doing exactly what F*rrari did to Seb.

If there are any Lando fans out there that still support that team and P*astri, please don’t. It is painfully obvious where their loyalty now lies. And for no other reason than Poo Brown is a greedy man with no morals and Stella is the same. P*astri hasn’t earned anything they are throwing at his feet, Lando is a better driver and he isn’t entitled or unscrupulous. He’s done things the right way. He actually has integrity.

It happened to Seb with the pony depot and it’s happening now. They are crooked as a snake and Lando is having to fight an entire team. Just like Seb, and Carlos for that matter. I don’t know what else to say, all the evidence is out here.

It may or may not be with M*Laren, but Lando CAN win a championship and he can do it the RIGHT way, on merit.

being a lando norris fan these days is not for the weak, because why do i feel like screaming and throwing up and i’m not even involved in this whole mclaren situation?????? it’s probably stressing me out more than him

[addysadness]

HELPP----------

[addysadness]

can 81s gtfo if Lando sprayed him or not

he doesn't owe him shit, that includes champagne in his eyes

[addysadness]

okay here's the plan:

1. we start a go fund me to buy lando's contract out

2. another go fund me to start our own team

3. we name it ln4 racing or some shit idk

4. we get jenson button as the team principal

insert jazz hands

[addysadness]

literally every new piece of info that comes out from McLaren makes it more and more obvious

it'd be funny if it wasn't so fucking tragic

[addysadness]

the vibes at mclaren are already bad but i fear they’re about to get significantly worse

[addysadness]

Thinking about how is Lando and Oscar had reversed races yesterday, all we'd be hearing about today is Oscar's overtake on George, how easy Lando's overtake in Max was because he locked up and how Oscar did a real overtake in the same amount of time, and how much more pace Oscar had than Lando to put 5 seconds on him.

[addysadness]

Can we talk about how McLaren are basically the ones pushing this "Lando has zero racecraft" narrative too, actually, now that they've got the whole "Lando is mentally weak" narrative to stick?

Jeddah. Lando takes a literal handful of laps — it's what, like 3? To pass Lewis. Zak and Andrea immediately run to the media saying "no, it wasn't us changing and fucking Lando's strategy because Oscar wouldn't stop bitching. It was actually Lando's shit wheel to wheel skills. If he hadn't spent half the race battling Lewis, he would have been on the podium." It was literally 3 fucking laps.

Miami. Lando gets yeeted to hell by Max, unless he takes Zak Brown's preferred option of letting Max yeet him into a wall. McLaren don't do a damn thing to criticize Max, in fact Zak Brown and Andrea Stella criticize Lando because "he should've known he has the fastest car and waited for an opportunity." Then go around blaming him not winning on "taking too long to overtake Max," as if Oscar didn't take 2 laps more than he did and Max rolling out the red carpet to let him on by to "overtake Max."

Just a quick reminder of the sinister things Mclaren leadership (Brown,Stella) have said regarding Safety Concerns since the start of the season:

China 2025: Lando’s brake were failing - To the point he said “It was scary,” “It’s like my worst nightmare when the brakes are failing. I was losing two,three,four seconds the last couple of laps,so I was a bit scared. I survived and made it to the end.”

How did Mclaren react? - Lando reported the initial brake issue on Lap 47: saying “My brake pedal is going a bit long.” by Lap 54 Will Joseph said “Lando the brake situation is getting critical,” by Lap 55 Lando reported his “pedal is going flat” - he managed to nurse it home (holding off GR) .

Zak Brown’s reaction: “yeah I said to Andrea I was like well …its not the worst thing in the world” - In a very upbeat cheery way when your driver is in media saying it’s his worse “nightmare” .

Jeddah Qualifying - Q3 - 2025:

Lando crashed into the wall at Turn 5 on his first flying lap 

In a extremely unstable car - he raised issues about in February 2025.

Zak Brown “He said he was fine on the radio, but the car is a little bruised,” 

Lando was discharges straight from the Medical Centre to the Media Pen - where he didn’t remember the crash,his radio message or getting into the medical care. Was visibly wincing and dazed/confused. Exhibiting major concussion symptoms both then and the next day, before the race he was still “sore” and was in a lot of pain after the race not helped by fireworks, he was cutting interviews short due to visible discomfort. 

The team made a clearly in shok, dazed driver be grilled by journalist (they they are already aware contributes to narratives them and they have peddled)

Plus this very weird post they uploaded on twitter before being deleted:

Miami Grand Prix Race Weekend - Free Practise 1 - 2025:

Lando was sent out In FP1 with two torches/flashlights, loose in the cockpit. 

You have left so many tools in the cockpit,” “Everything is just falling apart.” he said. He then pulled it to the pits with the tools in his hand (which actually got Mclaren away with no FIA penalty), the mechanics then went to pit him where he said “

 “Just a little mistake there,a little silly, a little embarrassing but all good,” - Zak Brown, laughy tone. 

This is extremely dangerous if the loose tools got jammed under the brake pedals leading the car to go straight into the wall (in a car he already feels uncomfortable in) that could lead to a severe crash. Additionally, we have seen this like 2009 in Hungary with Felipe Massa. 

Not a laughing matter…

This has all happened since the start of the season - take what you want from this what you want.

I'm actually so fucking done with McLaren

they can't let Lando have anything

last year was his first win. it was so fucking special, years of loyalty and blood sweat and tears and hard work, incredible tyre management to bring him that hint of luck after the shit of the sprint the day before and break his curse in Miami

everyone on the grid celebrated for him, we saw how happy people were for him from Max and and Charles grabbing him, Fernando and Carlos walking onto the grid to congratulate him, Esteban and George and Daniel making sure to pat his arm or give him a hug. former drivers and other athletes and celebrities celebrated for him

he ran to his team, dove over the barrier and was thrown into the air because fuck, they'd finally done it, he'd finally gotten the win he deserved and done it incredibly

literally 364 days later they try to erase it for him

Lando didn't get special merch for his first win. Oscar did, hell they were handing it out before they'd even crossed the line

Lando hasn't had any McLaren merch for any of his wins, not even Zandvoort or Singapore where he won by over 22 seconds, or AD where Lando won them the WCC for the first time in 26 years while his teammate played bumper cars with rookies and midfielders and almost jeopardised it

and yet

for a random race, not first win of the season, not first win for a driver, they've somehow ALREADY got Oscar merch for winning Miami (which is ugly and shit btw)

a year on from Lando's maiden win where he's just released his own line of merch to remember

and not only that, but this is the pic Oscar posts

look familiar? oh bc it's almost a carbon copy, shitty rip off of this moment

and to add to this, last year they had a sign along with Lando's win that this was for Gil, Gil's son was there and celebrating with Lando and the team. no mention of that this year huh

fuck McLaren. fuck Zak Brown. fuck Andrea Stella. fuck the McLaren comms and merch teams.

and especially fuck Oscar Piastri for that picture

[addysadness]

happy 1 year of race winner lando norris to all those who celebrate, may we be blessed with many more

[addysadness]

we really need to talk about what lando has given to mclaren (and what oscar piastri walked into).

lando joined as a rookie in 2019, stuck with the team through the worst of it: midfield mediocrity, strategy disasters, painfully slow cars, and years of rebuilding. he didn’t just survive those years, he carried the team.

he scored the team’s first pole in nearly a decade. he’s brought home consistent points, podiums, and was inches away from a win more than once, most notably Sochi 2021, where the team left him out to dry (or the complete opposite actually). he’s the face of the team in the media, in their merch, in dts, in every sponsor campaign. he’s the driver kids look up to. the one fans rally behind even when the team lets him down.

and then oscar arrives in 2023 into a much stronger car, reaping the benefits of everything lando helped build. he gets the upgraded machinery, the polished media image, the praise from management. meanwhile, lando is still fighting tooth and nail in a car built around a driver he thoroughly beat two years running, still dragging every last tenth out of the car, and still getting less recognition in return.

lando didn’t just help turn mclaren around. he built the foundation oscar is now standing on. and the only thing he’s getting in return is disrespect.

disrespect from his team principal, who doesn’t show up to his solo podiums and looks like he’s physically in pain when he has to praise him.

disrespect from the ceo, who can’t even be bothered to defend him when he’s targeted by the media or washed-up former champions.

disrespect from f1 journalists who treat him like clickbait, constantly pushing for controversy instead of acknowledging his talent.

disrespect from mclaren’s own social media team, who seem to have forgotten they have two drivers.

disrespect from his race engineer who spends the races not helping lando, but instead helping the other driver.

and disrespect from oscar and his manager, who can’t resist throwing out (not so subtle) jabs about lando’s mentality (i hate that word).

lando gave everything to this team. and somehow, that still isn’t enough.

[addysadness]

piastri gets stuck behind verstappen for 6 laps and only gets past because he makes a mistake: god-tier racecraft, champion mentality

lando gets stuck behind verstappen for 6 laps and passes on his own merit: shit racecraft, not champion material, not determined, too weak to win

make it make sense please

[addysadness]

some comments under THAT post

[addysadness]

I’m usually not about the conspiracy theories but that picture debacle from McLaren was nasty work.

There is no way no one noticed what they were doing.

[addysadness]

Give me an Oscar Piastri win that didn't come from his teammate having something go wrong for him, I'll wait.
