So, idk how new or old you are to F1, but I am Pretty Old. And so I remember what it was like Before Daniel. Mark used to talk a lot about how much work the Australian race was for him. And when little baby Daniel arrived, he talked about how good it was to have another Australian driver to share the load with. Time moved on and things are different now. But I also remember how tired Daniel looked on race day in 2019. And how in 2020, Daniel openly admitted to cutting back his commitments before Melbourne because it was too much to handle alone. And now in the circular way that this trio seem intrinsically bound to one another, it's Oscar's turn to start taking more of the load from Daniel. And while I'm sure Daniel has some mixed feelings about this obvious signal that the end is drawing nearer, I'm sure he's just as happy as Mark was. (please excuse me i'm off to have yet more Feelings about the way Mark, Daniel and Oscar are so tightly woven together)

Okay wow yeah I did not know that. I just joined F1 last year so I’m still learning the lore, but that makes sense considering how much pressure is to be the only driver at your home race. It makes sense that the younger one usually takes the brunt of media duties bc they have more energy and are still running on that excitement of repping their country in F1. Though learning this makes me worried for some of the other drivers that have a bunch of pressure being at home.
