people really need to stop asking stupid questions to logan and making stupid comments about him. because if i hear another 'heyyy, what's your fav food???' or 'do you know what kilometer is??? 🤨🤨🤨' type of questions, i will commit a crime.

also, i just wanted to say that you really did god's work... thank you for letting him know that he's loved and supported no matter what happens. i was really happy to see that someone was actually asking real questions and telling him nice stuff 🥹🫶🏼

To be honest, when I was in the room the atmosphere was really awkward. The host kept momentarily struggling to even find someone to ask a question, plus Logan kept downing himself and comparing his failure to Oscar’s success, it was breaking my heart. He honestly looked really sad, and I’m glad I got brave enough to speak up! He seemed very anxious and a bit shy, and with the way the season is going for him + the way he’s mostly just seen as a meme, he deserved to be reminded that he is a person and deserves to be where he is as much as anyone else.

He seemed really happy after I spoke to him. I even noticed that he gave the bracelets I made him to Benny, and Benny is wearing ALL of them this weekend. How sweet 🥹 I really wish the best for Logan. He seems very intelligent and sweet, and I know he’ll find his way whether it’s in F1 or somewhere else.

But yes, you’re right! He needs more people to voice their support. Just look at how happy and energetic he was today after the little bit of love I sent him from all of us!!! I’ve never seen him so full of life and act so silly before!!!

Little bits of kindness go a long way!! Don’t forget that (for Logan and for every aspect of life)! 💙

🎤 Lando at the Drivers' Press Conference before the Austin GP:

Interviewer: Let's start with 100 races. That is more than Sir Jackie Stewart did in his entire career, just how proud are you of that milestone?

Lando: Yeah, I mean, pretty proud (smiles). I don't think many people in – well, yeah, just many people in the world get to achieve such a thing. So that, and also people who do enter Formula 1, you know, not many people get to stay for a full 100. So I do wanna stay for many more (smiles), and I think that's still my next target. But 100 races, a lot of ups and downs, a lot of great memories, good success, so a pleasant journey so far.

Interviewer: "Good memories, good success". Give us your best race so far.

Lando: I don't know, I don't know what would be my best race. But, I mean, there's – the obvious ones are always the podium ones. First pole position, first podium in Formula 1, like, those are the ones you always remember. Maybe not the best, I think if I looked at results, you know? Certain other races, you know, the 1-2 with Daniel in '21, some of the races this year have been just very enjoyable, very strong.

So... I don't know. Many good ones, different places, Silverstone probably being one of the biggest highlights of it all, being my home race. So (smiles), yeah, a lot of good ones, but ones I'm still trying to override by getting that first win.

Interviewer: Well, what about this weekend? You're on a run, you've had 3 consecutive podiums coming into this weekend. How confident are you here in Austin?

Lando: Not so confident. Just a lot more slow-speed corners, which is not our strength. I think... it's tough when you look at it, like, if we look at Singapore, obviously we were not bad in Singapore. Clearly not as strong as Ferrari, but still not a bad race. But we know on these types of circuits, Mercedes are gonna be very strong, Ferrari are gonna be very strong, Aston here in the past have been very strong.

So, yeah, it's just not a track – like, we knew when we went to Qatar it was gonna be a track which really suited us; a lot of medium, high-speed which is where we're very strong, and almost on par with Red Bull. Less of that here, and a lot more slow-speed, so I'm definitely not as confident, but nevertheless I'm not saying it's gonna be a bad weekend. I think we can still fight, it's just gonna be a much bigger fight, I think.

Interviewer: Look, you're having such a good run, I'm sorry to have to remind you of just a bad moment. But in Qatar Qualifying, [it] didn't go so well for you with the track limits issues in Q3. Sorry to remind you of that, but as we go into Qualifying here in Austin, does it require a change of... doing something different in the cockpit? Are you gonna do anything about it? I mean, are you gonna... I don't know. Tell us, tell us about your approach for Qualifying.

Lando: Honestly, I'm not gonna change that much. The margins are so small and, yeah, the thing which made it all worse is I was, not easily, but, you know, I should've been on Pole in both – I say "both" occasions, definitely for Saturday, maybe not so much for Sunday. But at worst, I should have been 1st and 2nd, or 2nd and 1st.

So when I realised what could have been and what should have been, then coming into the race, how strong our race pace was on Sunday, and at parts quicker than the Red Bull, I feel like just there was a lot of missed opportunities from my side.

But at the same time, there's been plenty of other races this weekend where, yeah, I've not made mistakes, and I feel like I've performed very well. But obviously the ones which are always picked up are the bad cases, you know? So, yeah, I made the mistakes, I was frustrated at the time. I've moved on, and I guess, yeah, it happens to everyone, but I'll try and make sure it doesnt happen again (smiles).

Interviewer: Alright, good luck with that.

Journalist Questions:

Q1 (David Croft - Sky Sports F1): One of the by-products of what transpired in Qatar was that you were able to push for a lot more laps than you normally would in a Grand Prix race. So, as drivers, do you prefer to go out and race hard and push like that and have more pit stops, or would you prefer a Formula 1 where tyre management is very much the order of the day, and less pit stops?

Lando: I like a mixture, to be honest. I like both. I mean, you normally prefer the ones which are like this. I did enjoy Qatar, just with the, you know, the racing, with the pit stops, more to do with strategy, things like that. I enjoy that side, but I also enjoy the races where you have to look after the tyres and manage things. Having both is good, I don't think you just would want one of them, I don't think that's, you know, I feel like that's more prescribed racing, rather than just natural racing.

So [it] depends on circuits and characteristics, tyre wear, all of those things. But I enjoyed Qatar, just the conditions were obviously very tough, that's what made it so tricky. But it was more the temperature which made it tougher. Of course, you know, 3 pit stops, that can happen in any race you ever do. But the conditions in that just made it even tougher.

Q2 (Mandy Curi - Motorsport.com) Do you think the drivers’ health has been overlooked or forgotten in terms of the effects of things like porpoising, and then lately the issues that you guys endured in Qatar?

Lando: No, I think they're doing a good job. I don't think anyone expected it to be as bad as what it was in Qatar. I think more can be done, but I think they’re fine. Also with the porpoising, no one knew it was really going to happen necessarily, probably apart from Red Bull. But they did the necessary things to limit it.

Q3 (Alex Kalinauckas - Autosport) A question to Carlos and to Lando, please. Very soon F1 heads to another new race in America, in Las Vegas. And I just wondered, what preparation work will you be doing for that race? What have you done already and have your teams briefed you much yet in terms of what to expect with the very cold conditions? Can things like that be programmed into your simulators for you to adapt to?

Lando: I don’t think, honestly, there's a lot more you do than normal. I've already done my simulator work for Vegas. The temperature is one to prepare for, both in terms of a driver's hands. You know, you need your hands to work well when you're driving, so being on top of all of that is something we're already looking into – just simple things sometimes, with hand warmers and gloves and whatever. Apart from that, no… Learning how to play poker, things like that!

Q4 (Bob Varsha - Speed City F1): Lando, a question for you. Last time out in Qatar, your team produced the fastest pit stop in Formula 1 history. Was that due to any specific changes that you made? Or is it some other reason?

Lando: No, nothing, nothing in particular. Just hard work, I guess, is probably the best answer for it. It's something that the mechanics and everyone… I guess we have a whole team for it, here and back at the factory that do a lot of work with many people involved.

But there's a lot of people involved in pit stops, it's not just simply the mechanics, you know, but the reviews and the equipment and everything, and it's something we've spent a lot of time over the last few years… And I say years, it's not like just suddenly the guys focus on pit stops and you do better you know, it's complicated. It's a tricky process to improve on.

But, you know, over the years, and especially this year, the guys have done an excellent job of making that next big step to challenging, I think it was Red Bull, really. If you look at the top 30 fastest pit stops, like 25 were Red Bull. But we've got better and better and especially this year we've put in some very good performances, and even last year at times. So, just hard work is the best answer.

Just like a driver doing a good job on track, it's the same for the mechanics with the pit stops. They look at the data, the analysis, they look at trying to improve every area possible, being physically fit enough, you know, all those things. There's no short answer for really anything in Formula 1. Just that and hitting my marks. Doing the simple things make a big difference sometimes.

But impressive, you know, in a time when the pit stop almost should be slower than ever before because of heavier tyres and the limited things you're allowed with the equipment, no trick things like some teams had in the past. There's almost no way that they should be as quick as what they were, so I think that's another hats off to all the crew.

Daniel Ricciardo helmet (#USGP design) "If You Ain't First, You're Last" Ricky Bobby's soul has possessed Ricciardo and with this epic design the "Honey Bagder" makes an appearance, the helmet is a faithful copy of the design of the #62 stock car of this irreverent character from Talladega Nights.

With all the chatter about Logan, I haven't had a moment to talk about my experience meeting and talking to James Vowles!

It was such an honor to be able to remind James how caring he is, and how much we appreciate his hard work and dedication to our boys. He also gave me an amazing answer when I asked why he keeps pushing and how he stays humble despite the major ups and downs of the sport. I gained a lot of respect for him when he spoke about his way of dealing with the entire team, from the engineers and media all the way to the drivers. He explained it as he doesn't like to "boss" the team around, he instead likes to befriend them, and then work together with them. He gets on their level, then goes from there. He sees everyone as an equal, and truly appreciates their hard work and effort. In any aspect of life, but so much so in F1, this is important.

Not to mention, as a woman in the middle of this crowd, he spoke to me as an equal. And ladies, you know how we're often seen as fans of this sport. James kept eye contact with me the whole time and explained himself in the most eloquent, intelligent way, and not once did I feel like a “female fan," just simply a fan.

[I wasn’t able to upload the entire 2-minute clip to tumblr, so click here to watch it]

He is a stand-up dude, truly. He was so, so, so sweet. A man in his position could choose to be anything, and he chose to be kind. I'm already grown, but when I grow up, I wanna be like James Vowles 💙

P.S. idk if anyone has ever given James a friendship bracelet, but now he has one! I made one in blue that said "Boss Man" and I think he was shocked someone gave him a gift. He wore it all day, as I was the first one to meet him after his Q&A that morning, and said it was a "very lovely" gesture. Not to mention he kept repeating "you're so kind" because of my question. 🥹
