he may not realistically be in the battle for the drivers championship anymore, however that doesn’t at all minimise just how proud i am of all lando has achieved this season. 3 wins (including his maiden), 7 poles, 12 podiums, leading his team to first place in the constructors championship, securing the most points of any mclaren driver in history. and that’s just on track, off it i am immensely proud of his growth too, from being someone who always saw everything as glass half full and was always so hard on himself, to the way he now talks in interviews you can see his confidence and belief in his own abilities has come on so far (as it should). it’s so nice to see how far he’s come from the little boy who started out in f1 so many years ago. maybe this year wasn’t his for the championship but mark my words, his time will come.

#also the championship battle was always an unrealistic hope that got thrusted on him and us after he had *checks notes* got his maiden win #max was always the most likely candidate with how the start of the season went #and no lando didn’t bottle anything it wasn’t landos to lose it wasn’t easy for lando to win it and embarrassing because he didn’t manage #if you compare the grid mix up and different winner this year as opposed to the years max won previosly they are completely chalk and cheese #lando had tough competition week in and week out he didn’t just have to beet one driver and call it a day #he had lots of drivers in cars capable of getting a win #(not too mention his team on far too many times working against him or leaving him to fend for himself)#so the fact he was even in talks of being a contender for the championship is a win in itself #and when he does gets that championship it’s going to feel so good #it’s not if it’s when #lando norris
