#this is under a cut and i clearly state it is lando slander

[likelylarks]

you're the only person i've seen to share my feelings about l*ndo and it's refreshing lmao. please someone name me one (1) redeemable quality. i have TRIED. i have tried so hard. i've watched so many videos in my attempts and all of them??? he's the most unlikable person!!!

i’m here to slander lando at any time babes ✌️so much slander under the cut bc i’ve always felt bad coming for him but you’ve made me feel like i have an audience 🥰

i’ve heard people say that he grew on them bc of his friendship with max but i genuinely don’t know how bc he’s literally that friend that says bitchy shitty things behind your back and to your face and then says “but we’re friends haha i don’t mean it in a bad way” but it’s like dude, it was still bitchy and shitty (sorry but he’s not funny over streams with max, he’s just rude and if one of my friends talked to me like that, i wouldn’t think they respected me, and max is truly a gift for giving him the benefit of the doubt)

he’s only recently started to enjoy daniels presence (a crime, daniels presence is a gift) but before that,, again talking shit!!!! documented by reporters and fucking netflix!!! and also many many instances of daniel just being himself and lando looking at him as if he’d grown not just a second but a third head,,, like dude,, grow the fuck up and realize that being open and genuine and having fun in casual scenarios does not mean that a person is unprofessional when it comes to their actual job

also!! whenever anyone calls lando a generational talent i have to laugh because i simply do not see it,, future world champion?? WHERE?? boy can’t even win a race (sochi 2021 my beloved i hope lando dreams about you always)

like, a generational talent is max or charles, proven to be able to go the distance under the intense pressure and actually win — lando? not a chance,, fumbled the call for switching to inters and literally threw away a win, showing a distinct lack of maturity, skill, talent, and racecraft needed to win races and furthermore become a wdc one day

the 2022 season? sure he’s outperforming daniel (who has had damage on his car for the bulk of his races this season and has had bad strategy calls for not only the rest but also some of the ones where he had damage — so you know, not fucking hard) but he’s only outperforming him in qualifying — his race pace has been about equal to daniel’s if not worse a lot of times

because mostly his performance this season has been riding 20 to 40 seconds behind the car in front and “running a lonely race” and losing time every single lap,,, tell me where this generational talent that is outperforming the car is? because the difference between lando and daniel this season is that lando gets pitted into open air where he can fall behind like that, and daniel gets pitted into traffic and he gets overtaken BECAUSE THE CAR IS A TRACTOR

but it looks like lando is doing significantly better bc of his finishing position,, when in reality, if he got pitted and released where daniel was? he wouldn’t have done any better and we all fucking know it

but ALSO where are his impressive overtakes? not just from this season but from his entire career? could lando norris HAVE a highlight reel? the only thing i can think of is his mess with checo last season in portugal when they were trading penalties but i wouldn’t call that a highlight,, the five car scrap from this season? you look back at it,,, lando doesn’t actually do anything significant so wouldn’t count that

like what is impressive about his racecraft?? what!!

like in comparison, off the top of my head, daniels triple overtake in baku in 2017, his double overtake on the alpines in hungary 2022, holding seb off in monaco 2018 with half an engine,,, highlights

also, this is just my own personal WILD speculation based on what we know about their character and their tendency to whine over the radio, but joe ricciardo made daniel start out in a secondhand kart even though he could afford a new one to teach daniel about hard work and the value of things and daniel loved it anyway; you know that if lando ever had to start in a secondhand kart he’d have shit himself over the unfairness of it all

also i stand by what i said about him being just some guy with a big head bc he’s not even that cute AND people losing their minds over those pics/gifs of him bc his hair was curling a certain way,,, y’all fucking dm me for pics or whatever bc he is literally not special, when i had my hair shorter it curled that exact same way,, people really just need to spend time with curly haired people MY GOD
