I am also a non-Brit so do not accuse me of being English but I think non-Brits significantly underestimate the popularity and impact of Mr Brightside on British culture
the one part that drives me particularly insane is when they're asked about the highest highs and george answers sochi 2021 and then immediately tries to save it by saying quali was good because lando & him were p1 & p3 and lando laughs it off but then later he looks straight at george and answers "silverstone" and george just cuts him off. like. if this was an isolated incident i would say i was reading too much into it but given the things they've said to & about each other it's just sooooo. it's george & lando and they've known each other so well and for so long they already know where the wounds lie & which way to twist the knife, and (unlike george/alex or lando/alex) they don't really like each other enough to spare each other the pain when it comes to it. or maybe they feel fine throwing jabs at each other because they consider each other rivals on equal footing (lewis & max & even charles in a way is above them so even when they're threats it doesn't feel this personal) but then where does that leave alex, who's also been there since the beginning?
