mclaren i understand the need to milk the prized cow dry but jesus christ we just had a whole weekend about senna, tributes were made, events were held, u do not need to paint ur car yellow a week after it's all done for a nominal reason and by it p much force your 2 extremely young drivers to match it with senna helmets, which is a guaranteed flop since oscar has never mentioned anything racing hero related and lando's idol was valentino rossi, so they not only look fake and disingenuous but what's worse, a total cash grab since mclaren sells a product named after the guy and so does lando's father's scooter company, and clearly no one is interested in talking about senna as a person because he made questionable and sometimes straight up unacceptable decisions on and off track but thats not marketable so we reduce him to yellow helmet, nostalgia, greatest of all time, and hope that it will sell. i expected nothing and i am still disappointed mclaren. truly cursed
#to me its also like. celebrate them while theyre alive but ppl love to idolize only after death soo#not to mention he might not even b the goat bc its an arbitrary title and he simply never got to retire like lauda prost schumacher etc#but theres tributes like vettels or lewis that feel genuine and then theres this which is just. ugh#not to say anything bad about lando or oscar here bc they dont have much of a choice#but ffs mclaren. spend all that money from repainting ur car and making custom team gear one offs to donating to senna foundation#stop with the performative remembrance. i hate it#txt
