Put to the test - Lando Norris drives the McLaren Elva

[@whochairs]

McLaren's marketing person is going to legitimately go crazy next year with Lando and Danny Ric. Nothing will go as they plan at all but everyone will love it.

[@humanbeing9079]

@@Mexxx65 both have more F1 podiums, more mental tenacity and have put in more hard work than you ever have, in order to reach in the pinnacle of motorsport. They have earned their place in F1, so stay salty, stay indignant.

[@orgpordge]

@@Mexxx65 Could you also give us an example as to how they don’t show loyalty to their teams? Lando has scored his first podium with McLaren, wanted to push for another in Monza and could’ve had one in the Eifel GP if he didn’t have a mechanical failure. I haven’t heard anything of disloyalty. And Danny Ric does everything he can to push the team forward. Renault have been getting better because of it. Just because he is leaving the team does not mean that he isn’t loyal to them. He wants to end his relationship with Renault in a bang as much as he wanted to end his relationship with Red Bull in a bang. Now, give me some instances where they were disloyal.

Call me a cynic but I reckon these are not bloopers, this is exactly what the admen were after. I worked as an actor and extra and believe me in film and TV no-one - especially not a non-professional - would be expected to recite such a long line of techno-babble in one continuous take. You certainly wouldn't give a line like that just minutes before they were expected to deliver it on film. I think it was a set-up cos they knew nice guy Lando would at least try, whereas a more wordly driver would have probably just laughed and said "fuck that!".

Ricardo started it, and so nice to see Norris carrying it on. It's going to be awesome seeing them as teammates!

[@DJMicroGMailcom]

This year, more than even in my experience, we have so many young and talented drivers that will obviously make a great future out of the sport. Over and above the talent and the racing, it is really great to see how well the drivers (especially the young ones) get along. We already see lasting relationships even though they are now racing in different teams. Their banter and friendship is a delight to the sport and also shows that we can all stand together regardless of which "side we are on". It is a tragedy that we may not see George Russel in a car next year.
