Lando should make you nervous to watch f1 at all. it does not have to be a race start for him to choke. it can be a race end or even qualifying

so fun fact abt lando is that in his 5 years of formula 1 he has had a lovely grand total of zero driver error dnfs (not counting OTHER drivers errors gasly and stroll u are both on my shit list). one of the reasons i enjoy watching him is because im an anxious bitch with minor heart issues and he is by far the most risk-averse and one of the most consistent drivers on the grid. id argue he was too risk-averse at the beginning of his career - a pattern for 2019 was watching him give out hard-earned place after place to his competitors during the race after qualifying super high, bc he was too shy to actually properly fight tooth and nail for track position.

so, in a perverse way, altho spa 2021 was scary to watch and sochi had me retching over a toilet seat (partly bc of how horribly motion sick i was after trying to watch the beginning of the race in a moving car) and then crying on the floor, i am kind of glad they happened, bc until then lando hadnt quite pushed against the famed 'limit' kind of at all. it took him 2 whole years to reach it, which is super unusual for a driver that enters f1 so young, and why a lot of other drivers of his generation had reputations of recklessness or overzealousness in their first few years in the sport - i mean even verstappen was the laughing stock of the paddock for the old guys, which was also totally fair, bc he was a 17 year old with a monthly pass to the bowling arcade bothering a retirement home's garden game of badminton. point is - i welcome lando's 'choking', which doesn't happen often, because it means he's grown balls and not just in the high speed corners. i think theyre few and far between and make him a better driver, as much as those self-flagellating post-session interviews r torture to me.

and to be totally honest i dont actually really care abt the qualifying mishaps at all. not only bc he makes up for it in the 95% of qualis where hes sooo sexy and fast, but also bc the two times he fucked it up in quali and then the race actually happened (rip spa) he was on the podium both times. and i loooove seeing lando climb up the field, its fun and rare bc, again, he usually qualifies right where his car should be or even higher than that. thats y imola 2021 is probably my fav lando podium and one of my fav lando performances in general

so this is why (long winded explanation ik) im better off following lando on track than pretty much anyone else (i think the universe is compensating for me being an alex fan in 2020). thank u for giving me the opportunity to go off on a tangent abt that!! im always ready to talk abt how lando is a pussy (beloved), and how that actually makes him both super consistent and also relatable to me, also a pussy, as opposed to the adventurous adrenaline junkies that make up most of the rest of the grid bc unfortunately f1 is an extreme sport and tends to collect that type.

oh and also ik u or a couple of u have been sending lando blogs hate anons for the last week i think u should suck some dick and cock and then also kill yourself hope this helps! kys<3 ur so lame
