Saying this again....The transcript from the press conference where Lando is asked about Trump.
Im going to break it down.
First things first Lando never said it was an honour to meet trump, he said "I guess it was an honour" for Trump to meet him. Thats an important difference.
"He came up to me to congratulate me, so I guess an honour" "It has to be an honour for them to come up to you"
In Landos mind, someone such as a previous president of the United States (i.e them) thought that it was important to wish Lando well and in Landos mind that was cool because he believes you have to work hard to be a president and is thankful that a president saw the "work ethic" that Lando puts into things and decided to congratulate him.
The "got to have a lot of respect for in many ways" is not a great but you can see that Lando is of the mind that an ex- president has to be given respect and no doubt he was briefed by the team to be respectful to Trump.
The "And thats all" is important because Lando does not want to be associated to Trump and wants nothing more to do with him. He was thankful that an ex-president congratulated him and thats all. He was respectful to him because he was an ex-president and thats all.
Finally, Lando has done nothing to suggest he likes Trump. He supported BLM, he supports women in F1. He is respectful of LBGTQ. Not once has he acted badly towards anyone and the fact that not only Lewis but Lewis's dad supports him as well should say enough of who he is as a person.
People need to not put all Trumps shit on Lando here. Lando was not thinking about Trump personally when he said it was an honour, he was thinking about himself and how mad it was that an ex- president thought he was so important and that was the honour.

"Then you get older, and you look back at moments that maybe you didn't enjoy at the time - that are very funny. Yeah, it was good times."

Hi I’m so sorry to bother, but i saw this gif set of yours: https://www.tumblr.com/il-predestinato/699115328106561536/walking-off-into-the-sunset-max-verstappen-and
It looks like Charles deleted the video from his channel 😭 do you happen to still have a downloaded version i could watch 🥺🥺🥺
*snorts*
Thank you, anon, for reminding me of that time Charles posted a bunch of footage with Max to his official YouTube channel and then shortly afterwards - in a wave of gay panic - made the video private, and then deleted it altogether. 🤣
Unfortunately for Charles, the internet is forever and I indeed have a downloaded version of his video:
Enjoy!

if i had a nickel for every time max and charles mentioned that they "get along very well " in an interview for the hungarian tv, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

GP Racing Magazine June 2022 Issue: Red Bull vs Ferrari
Xevi Pujolar worked with Leclerc at Alfa Romeo, and was Verstappen's first race engineer in F1 at Toro Rosso. He reveals that they are both completely different characters.
"Both of them, they are very competitive with themselves - they're fighting against themselves before they fight anyone else. It wasn't just after the race or qualifying, it was after every session. Max wanted to dig in to all the details to find what he needed to take the car to the next level - tyre, chassis, engine. And then his ability to push everyone in the team, because he's very competitive and he wants everyone to be as competitive as him. Charles is also like this, but they do it in very different styles - and I won't say if either one is better or worse, it's just different. Max is pushing everything to the limit in quite a raw way, and sometimes you've probably seen this from outside. For some people Max is more difficult to accept because sometimes he's too much. Charles is a bit... smoother. They are very different characters, almost opposite. Charles is very calm, Max almost wild. I'm sure the product you have now is a result of what he went through when he was karting. For me he is the best out there. He's the most robust, strong driver I've ever met. Charles is very competitive but at some point I can see him getting a bit more... intimidated... Let's put it this way. In the perfect conditions, Charles can be close to Max. But Max will be there anyway - because he's a warrior, an animal. I don't see anyone able to compete with him. The guy has no limits - it's either him or nothing."

Old interview with Max and Daniel | Austin 2017 How many girlfriends have you had? Which driver do you want to punch in the face the most? When was the last time you got rejected by a girl? If you have to ask a girl out do you call her or text her?

Are you thinking that guy behind you might have a better shot at Qualifying?
Max: "I don't know! You should ask him. [to Charles:] What do you think? Charles, can you come in?"
(...)
Max: "It's like we massage the tires. [mimes]"
Charles: "You do massage the tires, but it's cold here..."
Max: "More aggressive massage."
Charles: "More aggressive."
Max: "I'll do a hot stone massage this time!"
