lando norris and nico rosberg chat after p2 finish at chinese grand prix 24
nico: we have a race, the two of us. because you're at 108. I won when I was at 111, my first race. so your time is coming
lando: I like your -- you're very positive. I'm the opposite, I'm always very negative.
nico, of all people, knows what it's like being a solid midfielder without winning that first race for so long and also recognizes the block it is for lando who hides behind self deprecating jokes and hypes him up. esp when you consider lando has been vocal ab drivers' mental health and nico himself did sports therapy and knows you can't survive in the f1 media circus while downplaying yourself.
it is super refreshing to see someone from the previous generation actually support the younger drivers instead of adding more pressure to it
it’s so telling how there’s nothing but praise for daniel lashing out at lance in his interview but if yuki so much as raises his voice he’s out of control
I just wasn't expecting today at all. I got everything ready to go home early and not be on the podium, so it's a pleasant surprise. But it shows the team have done a good job, we're working hard, and it's paying off. [...] So, yeah. Happy to be wrong with myself and my own bets.
