WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS????

OH...MY FAVORITE DUO....HOW CAN U SEPARATE THEM😞💔

And it just gets worse...

Lando, Oscar and Max in top 3 is obviously great but CARLOS, ALEX AND YUKI IN TOP 10 BABYYYYY

So for those of you who don’t know this story, here goes. Apologies to those who know it.

Back in 2019 when Lando first came into F1 it was easier to find articles about him as a kid. This seems to been lost to the ether now and I have zero memory where I read it.

Back in the mid 2010s Niki Lauda invited Jackie Stewart for dinner. He needed his opinion. Mercedes has identified George Russell as a huge up coming talent and they wanted to sign him as a junior, but Niki wanted to know what Jackie knew about him.

Sir Jackie was very complimentary about George but suggested to Lauda that there was another upcoming Brit he felt was more exciting and worth a look, Lando Norris.

Over the course of the meal (which with Niki was notoriously quick) they weighed up the pros and cons on both drivers, discussed their potential and agreed by the end of the meal it was in Mercedes best interest to approach BOTH drivers and offer them places. At this point it could be either/or and you didn’t want to pick the wrong one.

However by the time Mercedes approached Lando’s team, McLaren had beaten them to the punch. We will never know if Jackie had already given the Lando sales pitch to Ron Dennis as well by this point. (Yes it was Ron not Zak that brought Lando to McLaren).

The take from this is Sir Jackie Stewart has been team Lando for at least a decade. So when we talk about the weight of expectations Lando carries, it feels he literally wants to get this Driver’s Championship done in Jackie’s lifetime so his belief is justified. The fact Jackie clearly adores him is just a bonus. (I think Kimi might be next on the Sir Jackie project board by the looks of it😂).

(Side note - if you don’t already @norris.content on Instagram is well worth a follow. She is responsible for the video and picture).

You want me to introduce myself? The thing that almost killed Odysseus?

*blink, blink* Lando saying in an interview the team hid the fact he had a brake issue and only telling him until absolutely necessary 🙂🙂
