#anti lando Norris

[falling-feels-like-flying]

The problem with me going anti lando doesn't stem from him being cocky or confident or whatever bizzare reason the dotd voters like to believe. It took roots when he dick rode Trump. His dumb, ignorant, rich frat boy vibes watered it day and night. And the 'simply lovely' just cemented it in stone. And maybe the simply lovely hurts so much coz I'm just projecting the betrayal i got from my supposed friends growing up but so be it. I'm not a hater, i never have been. I don't even dislike Lance ffs but the 'simply lovely' after winning Max's home race? Why? Is there literally any reason other than maliciousness?

I’m sorry but not Lando saying about redbull “they do not maximise the results even when they have a quick car” in interview, like sir?????

And then going “redbull was probably quicker than us last weekend” bruh 😭😭

He’s better at being delulu about that car than I am, that’s fantastic

"we didn’t finish second and third because of this move, we finished second and third because of the bold strategy from ferrari.” YES OSCAR RISEEEE I SEE YOUR ANGER

oscar piastri how does it feel to have the same number of wins as your teammate with 5 years experience

[applegreenrunnerbean]

everyone say 'thank you mark webber for making sure oscar piastri's contract has a 'no second driver' clause'

[theantitheticallogician]

the way that this is the picture ferrari put up on instagram. so conveniently keeping out lando. you can tell it's not ab the competition. they js love max that much.

[imlittlebitdie]

So, let me get this straight.

Lando gets lucky on a safety car (not an insult it just happens) and wins over Max. Max responds by saying. “if anyone has to win besides me I’m glad it’s Lando”.

Then in Barcelona, *Lando* runs Max wide and onto the grass immediately the start by cutting across the full track. (Edit: I somehow forgot that there was a WALL on the other side of the grass Lando pushed Max onto in Barcelona unlike Austria where Lando actually could have avoided if he chose to).

The only reason they didn’t collide there is because Max moved in response (but this surely couldn’t have happened cause max doesn’t race respectfully!!!!) Then after the Barcelona GP Lando is pressed about it and he’s sarcastic and says “I feel like I left enough space but I didn’t have a tape measure”. And instead of getting mad, Max just laughs it off and says whatever it’s racing.

But suddenly, when it’s the other way around unless Max takes all responsibility their friendship is over?

Make it make sense how Max is the one seen as the immature one here.

so we all agree that lando's main advantage is not only the rocketship of a car mclaren spawned but the fact that he's british? show me any other driver with the attitude that guy has and tell me they wouldn't have been crucified by media & journalists by now. sky f1 would have probably sent a hitman on them. god.

still not over the national anthem incident yesterday btw because max verstappen throughout his career has constantly been disrespected either by those he has been nothing but friendly and encouraging towards and it pissed me off a great deal that three world championships under his belt later some drivers still don’t respect that he is THE generational talent

can i ask what exactly happend, i turned off before the podium

Crowd started chanting “Lando” during the podium, which in itself is a little disrespectful but nothing we haven’t seen before (ie. chanting Charles during Imola). The national anthem started and Lando put his fist in the air cheering them on/encouraging them DURING the national anthem. Needless to say, Max and George gave him the biggest side eye. A lot of people have also drawn comparisons to Charles’ behaviour during Monza qualifying last year, where the tifosi booed Max and Charles told them off/shook his head.

Lando also went on to blab about how he would’ve won if not for the safety car, which a lot of Max fans were a little ?! about because Max’s skill definitely made the difference during this race. Also Max would have won Miami if not for the safety car, but you didn’t hear him say any of that directly to the press, instead he just praised Lando’s skill.

All in all it’s plain disrespect and immature as hell. I would NOT guess that Lando, George, Charles, and Max all fall within the same two year age range. Also it’s disheartening because this level of entitlement and general non-awareness is nothing new, lest we forget when he broke the Hungarian GP trophy last year (which takes like 4-6 months to make) and he said some pretty dismissive stuff about it forcing McLaren PR to go into overdrive, or him saying that Trump is his lucky charm after his Miami win. I’m sort of done making allowances for some rich asshole’s behaviour, especially because the media seems ready to glorify him. If a non-British driver had pulled that same shit during the national anthem you bet all English-speaking F1 media would be up in arms but no Lando gets a pass because the British are desperate to have a second coming of Lewis Hamilton.

jaw dropped at how accurate this is

[britney-rosberg06]

don’t let the george disqualification distract you from the fact that Lando Norris spent practically the entire race failing to get ahead of Max despite pretty much being in DRS the whole time

[maxedes]

my whole twitter timeline is in shambles. ferrari mercedes & red bull fans have miraculously united. every other person is either threatening suicide or to burn some factory down. 443316 looking like they‘re about to cry. all of that only interrupted by fernando rolling in on on his fucking scooter & george stripping in the press conference. what is going on in the house of monza?

[hyacinthsdiamonds]

If Max gets penalised for being a sportsman and giving his competitors who had a better race than him a friendly wave, he should be allowed to give the snitch the finger without anyone saying a fucking word about it
